Option request - Black and white/Grayscale

Title says it. I think it would be nice to have the option to play in black and white.

Just throwing out an idea....


Some examples:

Why? I don't think it makes it any scarier. It's just irritating. Sad

You can improvise this option by setting your colour saturation to 0 in you graphics adapter control panel

RE: Option request - Black and white/Grayscale

This idea might be better used for certain in-game moments, but not during the entire thing...while it would be interesting, I fear that the black/white would make things boring on the long run, while also detracting from some rather colorful scenes (ice caves, excavation site, etc.).

However, it could be used for flashbacks (to replace those save screens near the artefacts) or perhaps for a fancy effect during a scripted event...

Yes, TheCollective15 and Thaliur once again shows their brilliance.

I agree, for certain in game moments this could really enhance the atmosphere and feeling. For the entire game, use the tip Thaliur gave.

Well I don't think that it would be good if it's whole time looking like this.
But what about when those spiders bites you, they could secrete some sort of poison into you, and it makes your sight to looking like this for sometime. Smile

RE: Option request - Black and white/Grayscale

Actually, this would be a great feature for modders. Being able to set gray scale to about 5-10% would make a heavy change in the feel of the game, making lighter colors seem darker.

Please -REP me.
Honestly, please do. I want to see how low I can go!!
Ignore that error message too. Just ignore it and keep going to give me -rep.
