Both. It's an artifact that some people like to use as a style choiceI'm a bit new to this but is CA an artifact or a style choice ? If the latter what is it trying to emulate?

Refraction and such. Light travels through the world on frequency-dependent paths.If the latter what is it trying to emulate?
Simpler explanation to HTupolev's () - it's an optical artefact in lenses. High quality lenses attempt to mimise it, and nowadays some processing on digital cameras can reduce/remove it (the properties of the lens are known so the separation of the wavelengths can be compensated). Oh, and spectacles have it too, so I actually have CA as a daily experience in real life. Actually the brain compensates very well.I'm a bit new to this but is CA an artifact or a style choice ?

To be fair P.T. looked great because of it's great lighting in a very very limited scope and the noise/distortion gave it a hand held camera like effect. But yes I see what you mean, without the handheld camera like effect it would look quite gamey. But that's is what the "cinematic immersion" is about I guess.That's what you'd expect but public reaction shows the contrary. This paradox applies to P.T. as well, BTW.

Some devs just go all out when they find a new trick lol.
It does. And nowadays in photography, a lens with noticeable CA at the edges of the picture is a Bad Lens. Bad Lens! Bad!Another thing about CA is that AFAIK it should get stronger the further away you are from the center point of the lens. So it's okay to have more obvious artifacting near the edges of the screen...
Keep in mind that in the following image, the effect is that strong because it's most likely a cropped piece of a much larger photo:
Its not the enviroment that I find bothersome, its the idea of shooting at smudges and muzzle flashes.
Dear mighty mods, is it possible to split the CA talk into a new tec thread...everytime the order thread pops up, no discussion about the order, just about how super blurry it looks due to CA or whatever...gets boring and derails the thread imo...
It's released next month? Oh shit, time to buy a PS4 or something LOL... uggg dammitttt, I need to see this game in person.The whole CA discussion will simply die out as we get more details from the game, which is released next month anyway.
EDIT: ^ Or what this troll said ^
Yeah. Had to do a double take myself. We are in fact in January 2015. Scary. I'm so old.It's released next month? Oh shit, time to buy a PS4 or something LOL... uggg dammitttt, I need to see this game in person.
go go mjp close to the finish line!
