BOOST GRAFICO REMEMBER ME:
Che Remember Me sia un gioco artisticamente curato e denso di atmosfera credo siamo tutti d'accordo. Tuttavia il gioco presenta alcune piccole - medie imperfezioni nella qualita' dell'immagine e nella resa video ed e' proprio questo il motivo di questa breve guida.
COME ELIMINARE LA GRANA STILE FILM:
I Dontnod, artefici di questo Remember Me, hanno pensato di dare un look piu' cinematografico alla loro produzione introducendo una grana stile film Noire che rende l'immagine leggermente anticata e quasi sgranata in diversi frangenti. Se per molti questo rappresenta un pregio, io vi consiglio di provare il gioco anche senza per notare le differenze.
Inoltre e' bene sottolineare che se si volesse scattare qualche screenshots durante il gameplay, la grana presente rendera' le foto molto confuse e poco nitide, proprio perche' in immagini statiche e' ancora piu' evidente che giocandoci direttamente.
Per prima cosa scaricate TexMod, per chi se lo ricordasse e' lo stesso che viene comunemente usato in ME3 per importare le texture in HiRes.

Subito dopo il .tpf da importare con TexMod che elimina la grana.

Questo invece e' il .tpf che elimina la grana anche dal Menu' del gioco e dalle sequenze di intermezzo.

http://www29.zippyshare.com/v/3355279/file.html
Ora che avrete entrambe i pacchetti e' tutto molto semplice da far funzionare. Scompattate il contenuto del primo link e copiate l'icona TexMod nel Desktop che e' piu' pratico. Aprite il tool e cliccando in alto a sinistra sull'icona della cartella, selezionate l'EXE di REMEMBER ME.
Ora cliccate sull'icona piccola al centro delle colonne sempre a forma di cartella e selezionate il .TPF scaricato che per comodita' andrebbe posizionato direttamente dentro la directory del gioco.
Ora che lo avrete caricato nn resta che avviare il gioco ed e' fatta. Mi raccomando NON chiudete la Mod durante l'esecuzione del gioco.

SWEETFX E SETTINGS:
Per avere un boost dell'IQ come quello che vedete nelle seguenti immagini e' necessario l'uso di SweetFX, tool grafico diventato ormai famoso e utilizzatissimo grazie alla semplicita' della sua installazione e grazie agli stupendi risultati che e' possibile ottenere.
1. Per prima cosa scaricate il tool dal seguente LINK:
http://rghost.net/46449669
Una volta fatto seguite i restanti passaggi.
2. Copiate TUTTI i file dentro la cartella di REMEMBER ME dove e' contenuto l'exe ma NON la cartella SweetFX64. Quella lasciatela in disparte.
3. Tra i file copiati ce ne e' 1 denominato SweetFX_Settings. Apritelo con il NotePad (o qualsiasi editor di testo) e sostituite TUTTO il contenuto presente con quello che trovate sotto:

4. Tenete presente che se volete cambiare i settings a piacimento potete usare il file SweetFX_Setting aprendolo col notepad. Occorre un po' di pratica cmq per farlo. Altrimenti lasciate tutto cosi come e' con il mio Setting.
5. Disattivate FRAPS se all'avvio crasha il gioco e a volte occorre disattivare anche MSI AB o EVGA PRECISION qualora lo usaste.
6. Fate partire il gioco. Enjoy!
Il gioco parte direttamente con la MOD inserita ma e' possibile disattivarla in qualsiasi momento direttamente premendo ll tasto
BLOCC_SCORR che serve infatti per ATTIVARE/DISATTIVARE la mod.
Noterete immediatamente il cambiamento a livello visivo e il miglioramento dell'intera scena. Se volete il mio modesto parere, e' ASSOLUTAMENTE da provare.
SGSSAA PER REMEMBER ME
Tramite Inspector selezionate il seguente profilo a posto di quello esistente: 0x080000C1 e forzate l'AA SGSSAA a piacere. Occhio che diventa molto pesante come gioco e visto che personalmente nn ne sento la necessita', preferisco usare una res piu' alta o il SuperCampionamento del gioco che male nn e' affatto.
TASTI SPECIALI PER FOTO SPECIALI
Durante le sessioni di gioco nasce a volte l'esigenza di scattare qualche foto da postare sul forum o semplicemente per immortalare un particolare scorcio e angolo della citta'..e ce ne sono davvero moltissimi degni di nota.
Purtroppo non sempre questo processo regala la soddisfazione sperata ed ecco che subentra la necessita' di spaziare con la telecamera in modo da inquadrare esclivamente cio' che desideriamo fotografare, aumentando magari anche il FOV per prendere un panorama per intero.
Parliamo ovviamente di comandi inutili ai fini del gioco ma per gli amanti degli screenshots si trattera' di una vera e propria manna dal cielo.
E' tutto molto semplice.
Aprite il file ExampleInput.ini dentro documenti e aggiungete in fondo alla pagina queste stringhe, nella sezione Engine.PlayerInput. Ricordo che funziona con molti titoli che sfruttano l'U3 Engine, tipo Bioshock, DMC...etc.
Ho riportato affianco l'effetto che produce.

NOTA 2: Ora il FOV e' impostato a 90, ma potrete usare valori come 10,40,60,90,110 a seconda dei gusti. C'e' solo da perderci 5 minuti.
Ora che abbiamo finito potrete godervi REMEMBER ME con questa resa video e magari postare i vostri scatti piu' belli, oltre che ovviamente le vostre impressioni su gioco.
