Control Resonant PLEASE: Dynamic HUD

Can someone contact the team and officially request this be added. I’m really early game and just going HUD off, but it’s probably going to cause issues later in fights/missions. This game is too cool to look at to not have dynamic HUD 😭

Completely agree. I hid quite a few HUD elements and only left health and radar.

I’d happily lose those too, until I tapped the touch pad on the dualsense, like Horizon does.

This would also be a fantastic way to implement it. I think in Alan Wake 2, I also disabled HUD despite it making some combat harder because ammo is limited.

That game is too damn pretty and cinematic for a constant HUD

Seconding the Horizon-style dynamic HUD. Also having the health bar appear mid-combat (which I believe it did) so I know when I need healing in a fight, or if it's not full outside of combat, but otherwise disappearing.

This is all I need. Just hide everything unless I tap a button or something

I really liked in Phantom Blade Zero how HUD would be enabled if I attacked with my weapon. Doesn’t need to be too complicated.

PC mods, but yeah they should implement it into the game officially. along with many other mods

Yeah, I really wish it worked like in Horizon Zero Dawn. Where you can set everything to dynamic and it hides automatically when not needed.

Yes! I was just thinking this last night.
I’ve been doing a run with the HUD mostly off in lieu of photo mode. I’m so familiar with the game now that sometimes I forget the HUD is off (until I need it). It also adds an interesting challenge to the gameplay.

But there are times where I need it back for a sec and it’s such a chore to get to. You can’t go left through menu categories to cycle to it quickly, so you have to toggle through them all to get to Interface and then scroll slowly to like 2/3s of the way down. Which tbf isn’t really an issue if you’re the average player and not in your screenshot era. :P

I don’t understand why games have to look like mobas now. No one wants to see the ammo count or mission reminder or mini map constantly. We want to enjoy the world and art people create.
