Oh this is going to be fun. Incredibly robust screenshotting and videomaking built into the game. Not super intuitive to use, but very well featured. This is the first shot I got out of it. I'll post a guide in the compendium soon. Stadium is currently a free beta!!

It angers me every time I see a BF3 bullshot or high res shot and realize the missed opportunity they had when they dropped tessellation.

Just want to make sure we stay on track for providing sweetfx settings with screenshots. The idea was to prevent the thread from becoming "hey dude, what are your sweetfx settings?"
I'm not 100% sure the settings I've put in place are actually working in BF3, as the changes are quite subtle. Anyways, added. I'm still trying to get a hang of how it works.
On another note, I really wish they wouldn't ban you for using Freecam on Ranked servers and ones with PunkBuster enabled. Hell, even having the ability remove your hands and gun in first person perspective would help.
Isn't there a health pack glitch that does this? I remember seeing something about throwing it at the join between two walls and jumping...resulted in no hands or weapons on screen. Not sure if this still works though. Haven't tried it myself but the vid is here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UadMebd8azI

The way VeniceFX hooks into the game could be used to hack the balls out of it. It also includes a way to remove shadows, color grading, etc etc. Probably why it's only for non-PB servers. Personally, I've never been a huge fan of the way that game looks and don't think it's nearly worth all the trouble. I'd take a free camera in Planetside 2 over BF3 any day (not that it looks better, but I find it more "interesting" looking). But I was able to find enough servers without punkbuster to explore BF3.
This works with ammo packs. Still does. You sprint into a corner and throw the ammo pack a split second before you reach said corner. A free camera is leaps and bounds better than just not having your gun model out though
Don't want to derail the thread too much so here's yet another Planetside 2

Thanks, I'm definitely enjoying roving around taking pictures. I've been posting most of my RO2 shots in the Hi-Res Screenshot Thread, you can find the (currently) last page of the thread here. Only just started posting in this thread recently.
Here's one I don't think I've posted yet.
Checkpoint.

Man Mirror's Edge 2 is going to be amazing for bullshots. I'll try to upload some stuff once I get my new rig built. Some ME2 if I'm not too poor to get it. :/

It's an interesting difference between 3d aliasing, and pixel density aliasing. In general I'd say the higher density screen will look better.

Agreed.
For example, in realtime gameplay, SGSSAA looks much better on my HDTV than downsampling from 4K. However, in images I'd like to think that 4K looks better than, say, 2xSGSSAA. Maybe it also alleviates some issues and incompatibilities some games may have with SGSSAA.
Also, a mix of Downsampling and SMAA or FXAA or TXAA looks better to me than 8x MSAA.

Having played a few games at 4k with 8xSGSSAA, I can never go back .
I can't imagine what that would look like on an actual 4k screen.
Or... on a 4k Occulus Rift. I think at that point some sort of singularity occurs and then you kill all the mr. smiths.

Edited, because I openly take images from their sources.

I know this area has been posted plenty of times before (and that it's not the most interesting shot) but I just got Max Payne 3 for the PC and was surprised by how good it looks, how well it runs, and how nicely it cleans up. Plus this restaurant is really pretty.
I miss you guys.
I'll finish The Last of Us tomorrow and I can't wait to jump back into Fraps, but it was totally worth spending the week immersed in the best game of the generation; Even if it does run in 720p at 23-30fps. Actually, I do think it's better than Resident Evil 4 (by a lot, actually), so I guess that makes it the best game of the the last two console generations.
EDIT: Love that Chivalry shot right there. And Spazznid, your work with HL2 is good, as long as you don't take any more shots of that God damn horrendous Alyx model.

lol, I can't promise anything. Especially if FAKEFACTORY includes a new model for CM2013.
But I can compromise for now.
Also, not to start an argument, but TLoU is one of the best games I've played recently in a lot of areas, but though I have yet to beat it,
I think it's not the best by a long shot. This year, there've been many games that are great in some areas and lacking in others. TLoU
has amazing storytelling and compelling characters, but as far as the entire story goes, it feels like I'm just going along. There's really
been no scaling way to tell how close I am to my final objective so far, just moment to moment story bits. Those bits are wonderful, but
I dunno, it feels like something's missing. Maybe I just need to beat it twice to see it. I also haven't played the multiplayer yet. Still one
of the greater games I've played, and the execution of the gameplay is prefection. I really wish Tomb Raider felt as intense as TLoU does
in terms of combat and survival.
My main gripe about TLoU is the gameplay. We can all agree it's a beautiful game, made with a lot of care and attention plus a very well executed story to boot. However as for the core game itself, it's obvious they just used a retrofitted uncharted model and the same bullet sponging. When you make a game that is a core survival game, you don't limit ammo to the extreme in both what you can carry and what you can scavenge ( Talking from a Hard mode perspective ) yet at the same time make enemies soak up one bullet after another -- This is humans we're talking about.
When a guy needs 3 shotgun rounds at less than 5-6 meters or when you need to use 2 shots from a pistol at close range to kill someone, it's not even funny. They should have implemented more realistic damage values plus a proper wounding system. Shoot someone in the shoulder, you can see they are in pain and try to run for cover, doing some blindfire, maybe trying to bandage themselves etc. just the feeling of ever shot counting.
Combat and stealth is way, way too basic. hand-2-hand combat is: Press Square x 64 and everything will happen automatically, also contextual environment kills. Oh no, he's trying to hit you! Press Triangle ( Happens rarely ... ) and stealth is boiled down to crouching around and sometimes pressing one button when you are behind someone and to distract, you can throw the oddly placed bricks. I would love to have seen a Metal Gear-ish stealth system and CQB system. At least a better CQB system ...

What's the crack with Ubersampling in W2? Even with a Titan and a mild OC on my 2500K performance is still in the gutter (30FPS pretty much) at 1440p. It isn't RAM bound as Afterburner barely reads over 1.5GB in Flotsam.
It can't be that hard on shading horsepower, can it?

Ubersampling is just CD Projekt RED's weird way of saying "4x SSAA".
I don't think the enemies are as bullet-spongy as you say. Maybe just a slight bit, but I don't feel like the game is egregiously unbalanced or that it even negatively affects the gameplay. Your second paragraph is a great suggestion for the sequel.

Battlefield 3 does use tessellation though. On terrain mostly, as a way of scaling detail on mountains without needing ridiculously high-res hightmaps.

Hrmm. Having played Uncharted this worries me. Tomorrow night I'll be playing through as much of The Last of Us as I and a group of folks can (it's like a movie, eh?). But I hate QTE button mashing. It is horribly uninspired, and I really thought that there was more in this game.
An interesting question though, as far as the damage; would you rather play a realistic, ArmA esque game, though one meant to be cinematic like TLoU, which applied a quick death and injury to you as well, and thus often restarts, or would you rather the sponging? To me its a tough call, as both options are detrimental to the cinematic nature of the game.
My answer is... less fucking combat. Games are reaaallllly hung up on fighting things.
