Max Payne 3 PC, very underated in this regard.

I dont remember this game being underrated when it came to it's textures and graphics

Everyone's PDZ pictures are dead on. Those bricks!

 

[SnakeswithLasers]

Any good hi-res shots of the Dark Souls PC version?

Some impressive stuff in here, but not enough Mirror's Edge screens!

 

[Imbarkus]

I used to have SH3 on PC. I checked Steam and don't see SH2 or SH3 on there. I'm sad.

Indeed. Particularly after the crappy HD release.

Aaaaand boom goes the dynamite. Thanks man, subscribed!

ART > texture resolution

Monster Hunster is king when texturing reptiles:

is art better than pizza? than ice cream? than a cool breeze on a warm day? than a vague sense of self-satisfaction and smug superiority?

 

[Lime]

Too bad every texture below the chin of the characters looks like muddy shit.

yyyyyyyyyyeah no

I thought the extreme hyperbole was sufficiently noticeable to indicate the sarcasm :/

The Metroid Prime series has some great texture work.

This series will always be number one for texture work. Such a great job.

Not really. They just look like photographs glued on, there's no depth.

MaldoHD mod for Crysis 2.

 

[squidyj]

why can't people make brick walls without being entirely flat or having 3 inches of relief?

 

[SparkTR]

These isn't my screen, but Hitman Absolution on PC has some impressive textures:

Also if mods count Doom 3 Wolfen texture pack is fantastic:

 

[dan2026]

I find PC shots showing good texture work kind of boring.
Its expected that PC games these days will have awesome textures.

Finding great console shots is much more interesting.

 

[bomma_man]

Can people stop quoting those 20 revelations pics?

Edit: please

Oh god bizzarre was somawesome! Imagine pgr5 on next gen

 

[Luthos]

It hasn't been that long since it's release, but man Mirror's Edge has aged so nicely. Game still looks beautiful. Simplistic, but nice.

I disagree, more PC shots please.

Whether it is expected or not does not matter, the result is splendid, wow at those Doom 3 sikkmod screenshots. O_O.

ITT: People are still impressed by slimy normal and parallax mapping even thought the textures themselves are monotonous single coloured copy-paste crap.

what? do you expect brick walls to come in blue? cmon now, they're good textures. I'm not really sure what you're looking for here.

 

[Sethos]

You should make them a bit smaller, so we really can't see the textures.

Interesting, well made textures?

[Risk Breaker]

Vampire: Bloodlines had some nice stand-out textures in the form of paintings for its time:

Although that isn't that remarkable, seeing how it's simply a normal map.[/QUOTE]

That's not a normal map :P That's just a regular diffuse map. Normal map = bump map.

 

[bigboss370]

Ground Zeroes.

 

[zoukka]

Such as ?

Hand painted, varied or otherwise creative textures instead of monotonic repeating simple squares.

I mean people post this image as an example of great textures, when imo it's quite the bottom of the barrel material. Just one stone repeated to infinity.

 

[The Janitor]

Now that's texture porn

MOAR

 

[abstract alien]

I really dislike the way Hitman has such an unnatural look. It's like everything has the same bump crap all over it, including his face.

You are entitled to your opinion.

Oh cool, another PC superiority thread

Except the OP's images are from a console exclusive?

Yes but these textures aren't exactly on par with what's done on PC.

 

[zoukka]

Yeah I can take a 10k resolution photo of a wall, lay wrap it out on a cube in unity, and voila you have a texture that's better than anything you see in Crysis 2 by some peoples standards.

Needless to say it's still probably a bad game texture. There's so much more to texturing than resolution yo.

Now these "simple" textures are interesting to look at!

ME2 with the high res textures is pretty awesome

Shit yeah it is.

You can appreciate the texturing on that shot quite easily still.

 

[Nibel]

Those ME character models are among the best of the whole generation, even in vanilla state

And those modded Doom 3 screenshots are pretty incredible as well. I said DAYUM

 

[Kinyou]

The A-10 Digital Combat Simulator for PC has some ridiculous cockpit textures.

And you can just keep zooming in and in

Dead or Alive 5 has great facial textures IMO. As good as anything Ive seen on a console.
I guess the faces use a heap of the consoles resources , as some of the backgrounds look comparatively terrible.

Yeah....


textures....

 

[Risk Breaker]

Doom 3 moded looks really amazing texture-wise.

 

[zoukka]

GTAIII was mind blowing. You could zoom in on a piece of paper flying on the street and see writing on it.

Same kind of small detail could be found in MGS2 everywhere. Hi-res posters of girls, data text on bottles, trash, equipment, you had detailed casings flying from weapons...

My favourite thing about the MGS series texture work is not so much the quality of the textures, as that tends to be pretty varied (even Ground Zeroes looks rough in raw texture detail), but the huge variety of texture assets and the attention to detail in appropriate texture use. The team will go out of their way to put a unique texture somewhere that is unique, just to make the scene appear more authentic.

Like in Ground Zeroes how every soldier in a squad has a different number attached to their helmet.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

The real deal of hand crafted environmental textures is between Metroid Prime Series and RAGE.

so packed with detail

Indeed. Some general texture groups were pretty low res, but they went out their way to make the game world the most varied and detailed it could be. Snake Eater took it one step further. I have never seen anything like it since on consoler or PC.

So you live in 2005 then? Moar PC screens guys!

Not really. They just look like photographs glued on, there's no depth.

In game there's plenty depth, like parralax maps are used a lot on that area.
