Source verdict

The reviewer concludes that their recommended settings for screen shake, camera deceleration, aim sensitivity, aim response curve, dead zones, performance mode, disabling post effects, and specific audio dynamic ranges offer the 'best settings' for an optimal experience in 007 First Light.

About this source

This video provides a comprehensive guide to the best settings for the game 007 First Light on PlayStation 5 and Xbox. It covers optimal adjustments for controls, graphics, performance, and audio, based on the reviewer's personal preferences and testing.

Review notes

The settings provided significantly improve the gameplay experience in 007 First Light for most players. Turning off screen shake and various post-effects like motion blur and film grain results in a much cleaner and smoother visual experience, while adjusting aim sensitivity and dead zones makes aiming more consistent and responsive. Players with stick drift may need to increase minimum dead zones, potentially losing some responsiveness. If you prioritize a cleaner image and responsive controls in first-person shooters, adopting these settings is highly recommended. If you prefer high immersion features like haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, you can keep those on, but consider the performance trade-offs for graphics.

What the reviewer liked

  • Turning off screen shake makes the game look cleaner
  • Increased horizontal and vertical camera deceleration improves aim snappiness
  • Increased aim sensitivity (e.g., to 1.4) makes aiming faster, smoother, and snappier
  • Linear aim response curve provides consistent aiming without ramping up
  • Setting dead zones to 0.1 min and 0.9 max allows faster character response and maximum momentum with less stick movement
  • Performance mode (60 FPS) is optimal for gameplay on PS5
  • Turning off post-effects like motion blur, full screen blur, radial blur, wobble distortion, film grain, and chromatic aberration leads to a much cleaner image
  • High vibration settings enhance immersion for those who enjoy haptics
  • Adaptive triggers provide immersion with DualSense features
  • Night mode dynamic range balances sounds for low volume play without a headset
  • Full range dynamic range is good for dedicated audio systems like headsets or high-end soundbars

What the reviewer criticised

  • Default aim sensitivity (1.0) is too slow for the reviewer
  • Stick drift might necessitate increasing minimum dead zones, reducing responsiveness
  • Post-effects like motion blur and film grain make the game blurry or less clean
  • Default dynamic range might not be optimal for all audio setups (e.g., low volume without headset or TV speakers)

Structured claims

Reducing screen shake strength to zero can significantly improve the visual clarity of the game.

reviewer_claimmoderate

Setting horizontal and vertical camera deceleration to 0.7 makes aiming feel snappier.

reviewer_claimmoderate

Adjusting aim and camera sensitivity (e.g., to 1.4) can make aiming feel faster, smoother, and snappier, allowing for quicker camera panning.

reviewer_claimmoderate

A linear aim response curve provides more consistent aiming in shooter games as it does not ramp up.

reviewer_claimmoderate

Setting DualSense controller vibrations and haptics to 'high' can enhance immersion, though it can also be turned off if disliked.

reviewer_claimmoderate

Keeping adaptive triggers on can contribute to DualSense immersion, while turning them off allows triggers to function normally.

reviewer_claimmoderate

Adjusting left and right stick minimum dead zones to 0.1 and maximum dead zones to 0.90 allows for faster character response and maximum momentum.

reviewer_claimmoderate

Raising minimum dead zones for the affected stick can help reduce stick drift, though it may not solve severe cases.

reviewer_claimmoderate

For PlayStation 5 users, 'Performance' mode providing 60 FPS is recommended over 'Graphics' mode, which prioritizes visual fidelity.

reviewer_claimmoderate

Turning off post-processing effects such as motion blur, film grain, and chromatic aberration results in a cleaner and better-looking in-game image.

reviewer_claimmoderate

Optimal dynamic range audio settings depend on the audio output device: 'Full Range' for high-quality systems/headsets, 'Night Mode' for low volume/no headset, and 'Limited Range' for TV speakers in less quiet environments.

Buyer questions answered

What are the best general settings for 007 First Light?

The reviewer provides a comprehensive guide to optimal settings. Key recommendations include turning off screen shake, setting camera deceleration to 0.7, aim sensitivity to 1.4, using a linear aim response curve, adjusting dead zones for responsiveness, prioritizing 'Performance' mode on PS5, disabling most post-processing effects, and selecting dynamic range settings based on your audio setup.

How can I improve aiming in 007 First Light?

The reviewer suggests setting both horizontal and vertical camera deceleration to 0.7 for snappier aim. They also recommend increasing both vertical and horizontal aim and camera sensitivity to 1.4 (or higher, up to 2.0) if 1.0 feels too slow, which allows for faster and smoother aiming and panning. Additionally, using a linear aim response curve is advised for more consistent aiming.

What are the recommended graphics settings for 007 First Light on PS5?

For PlayStation 5 users, the reviewer strongly recommends selecting 'Performance' mode to achieve 60 frames per second over 'Graphics' mode. Furthermore, it's advised to turn off all post-processing effects like motion blur, full screen blur, radial blur, wobble distortion, film grain, and chromatic aberration to ensure a much cleaner and visually improved image.

How do I reduce screen shake in 007 First Light?

To reduce screen shake and achieve a cleaner visual experience, navigate to the gameplay settings and turn the 'Screen Shake Strength' option completely down. The reviewer personally prefers to have this setting off.

What are the recommended audio settings for 007 First Light?

The reviewer suggests tailoring your dynamic range setting to your audio equipment. Use 'Full Range' if you are using a headset or a high-quality dedicated audio system. If playing at low volumes without a headset, 'Night Mode' is recommended for a balanced sound where everything is audible. For TV speakers in a less quiet environment, 'Limited Range' is advised. Output mode can remain at system, and device type should match your hardware.

How can I fix stick drift in 007 First Light using in-game settings?

If your character drifts without input, you can attempt to mitigate stick drift by raising the minimum dead zone setting for the specific stick that is drifting (either left or right) in the advanced controls menu. The reviewer notes that while this can help with some drift, really severe stick drift may not be entirely fixable through these settings.
