man, I gotta say the HDR effects in Lost Coast didn't really blow me away like I was hoping. For all the work the Valve guys put into the implementation I came away feeling underwhelmed. It looked nice, no doubt about it, but I don't feel like the visuals were worth the huge performance hit.
Far Cry has a much more spectacular HDR implementation. I'm really looking forward to the new Crytek game.
