It's nice to see you so enthusiastic about it But I'm just wondering.. don't you notice the heavy black crush in the Soul Calibur 2 pic? Almost all details in the background are gone, because of the exaggerated contrast. All shadow-detail is gone; can't tell where her foot begins and the shadows ends. Same with the windows - the bright whites make all details disappear. I know it's a matter of taste and I don't mean to criticize, but to me it seems lots of SSAO/HDR/Bloom tweaked games have really "faulty" values - which causes the black crush and "overblown" whites.
I know, I know - it's just not for me..! But I do want to point out the (extreme) loss of detail, because some users might not even be aware of these "side-effects" when using SSAO,HDR and/or bloom effects. Just a thought
