Maximum non-manifest graphical settings for Aliens:FE
Settings are set for 10bit color@4K. While the last set offered in this series covered fuzziness and light, this one emphasizes darkness, contrast and material quality.
per usual, you are expected to conform said configs to your specific hardware and to be realistic in your expectations thereof:
Things added
SSS: Why this was disabled is a mystery, as even on consoles it's pretty much free.
ACES Tonemapping: One has to guess they simply wanted a more "classic game" look with the supplied tonework and color space. With blasting reds and Brown and Gray everywhere. No thank you. Also if you need to fix AA, why are you running AA at all.
True Volumetric Fog 2D is now 2.5D; yes it's more atmospheric, and yes it will hella block your vision if you're at the right angle.
Screen Space Color Matched Shading: Goes with the ACES for neato shading on all those slat covered light walls. Spoooky.
HBAO:The fanciest of AOs. No more weird gray halos.
Whole Screen Shadows: Pretty self explanatory
Things removed
Chromatic Abberation:Kind of droll they have colorblind item coding and then still keep this. Why.
Film Grain: You know what isn't cinematic? Getting a migraine.
AA: At resolutions over 1080 TAA is bad, and FXAA is worse, and those are the only options you get. No thanks. I don't need blur in my blur so I can blur while I blur.
DoF: See above.
