Graphical Effects That Make Games Look Worse Due To Poor Implementation

Noise – Grand Theft Auto 4 DLC: The Lost and Damned

In certain games you might have noticed a bit of blur and pixilation while moving around. These little bits of grain and blur are known as noise and is present in the likes of Grand Theft Auto IV and its DLC, “The Lost and Damned”. Thankfully, there is an option placed within the menus to turn off the noise effect but we can’t help wonder why developers decided to add that effect in the first place. Ye, ye, I know that choice matters. But Rockstar could have invested their time and energy into something better.
