    Despite the possibility of the video capture being bad, I still believe THP4 on Xbox just looks wrong at default OSSC brightness settings (at least for my setup which involves a modded X360 component cable to the OSSC and then HDMI->DVI to my monitor). Most other games look correct at stock settings, but on an instinctual level THPS4 looks dark and dull. This isn’t a problem with the OSSC, rather with a design choice by Neversoft.

    I did check black levels and they match up correctly. I think gain doesn’t actually shift the lower most black value, so true blacks are the same at any gain setting. The lighter blacks and greys benefited from the gain increase in THPS4.
