2013 High-Res PC Screenshot Thread of Let the JPEG Die Already

Apparently the lead designer (Tameem somethingorother) is a big fan of They Live... and slurm.

Sinatar could you not spam with DmC?

I mean, I understand it's new and all. But maybe 2 quality images are better than 6, and 4 quality images are better than 12.

I just don't wanna enter this thread and see image after image of DmC and the only thing it's doing is spoiling the game.

Don't take it personally please, I just don't see the need for you to post images here of every new level and the sorts.
 
Took some excellent screenshots of the first boss only to realize I had moved the frap mapping from f12 to numpad 0. I'll save everyone from having to view the steam screenshots.

First time using compression/resizing software (screenshots taken at 3200 x 1200) so if anything is wrong inform me.

Ace Combat:Assault Horizon ------ downsampled by an idiot from 2880x1800 no AA, ingame or otherwise

It's a DX9 game so I am sure I could have forced some AA, bud didn't mess with the settings yet. I think it looks ok in motion. And it's an average game, certainly not worth $35 but around $10-$15 on a sale would be decent. Certainly better than the abortion that is HAWX2.

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you Can Crusher. Any good looking, new release, is going to feature heavily around here. It's par for the course. They're nice shots and helpful for anyone, like me, deciding on whether to purchase it. In my case, i'd be double dipping, after having completed the 360 version. There's a lot of variety between levels in the game too. So it's not like they're all bleeding together.

As long as they're early levels, i see no harm. They're still far off showing some content, that was featured in trailers. I fail to see how there's spoilers, in any of those pictures.

If you want to mix up the variety, post some shots from a different game. Also, i'd be prepared for a meltdown, when Crysis 3 comes out, if you think this is too much.

EDIT: Sorry Lostconfused, for the combo breaker.

I hate his smug face. I will play DmC but the new Dante will just do my head in.

I had forgotten how great Ninja Theory's facial animations are.

If any of you can get motion blur to turn off, let me know. The config file is in "C:\Users\[username]\Documents\My Games\UnrealEngine3\DevilGame\Config"
 
How is Ace Combat on PC? Doesn't look to bad.
Can't say anything more than what I did in the 1st post. Console port, low res assets but some look ok. Will hold steady 60/120/whatever on anything probably. Might be worth $10 on sale. It has all the DLC fighters from other games, if you want to mess around with it. I'll take more screenshots if the Macross skins are in the PC port and I figure out how to get them


EDIT: Sorry Lostconfused, for the combo breaker.
It's cool.

Sim City looks disgusting. What an embarrassment. How could anyone even wake up in the morning to work on that.

The gaussian blur DoF is actually the worst DoF I've ever seen.

It doesn't even fade naturally for the love of all that is holy. Just a big ass wall of smudge all of a sudden.

Some of those DMC shots are definitely Cutscenes... Prerendered ones...


Yeah, apologies for that in regards to the shot I uploaded of baby dante. Thought the art was nice but after coming back I realized given Its a cutscene the resizing definitely hurt and made it look even more compressed than it is in game. Not awful but certainly not up to the general quality of this thread :D Most of the cutscenes are in-engine and run at 60 FPS so when it switches to the pre-rendered ones locked to 30 and compressed to some degree it becomes very noticeable. Wish capcom/companies in general would offer 1080P versions.

Does anyone have any tips for the best way to resize large resolution shots? Abload said they were too large and imgur wouldn't let me view the shots I uploaded(only re-download them) I used Irfanview and just made them pngs real quick as I was out the door but I imagine there's a better way that holds more of the detail. 3200 x 1800 shot went from 17 mbs to 2.8 when resized. Something has to be lost in that transition. I'm new to this so I appreciate any help.

I just use Photoshop to resize mine.

DmC

The motion blur is stuck on even if you force it off through the config, but it uses motion blur skinning, so it's really not so bad.

So I did some playing around with the Steam lossless screenshot thing and hey, it works exactly as advertised.

I bound my Steam screenshot key and Fraps screenshot key to the same button.

Both took the image at exactly the same time, though steams sound effect was delayed.

Both images came out looking identical. I overlayed the steam shot over the Fraps shot and used a subtraction filter, and yep, identical.

For those who don't wanna pay for Fraps, Steams lossless screenshot function works great.

Keep in mind - Steam also takes lossy jpeg shots as well, and those aren't the ones that get uploaded to Steam servers, so you'll have to upload your lossless files elsewhere.

Warface looks so utterly bad.


Crytek is practically a joke studio these days. They haven't been relevant after Crysis 1.

You realize they've made like, 3 games since Crysis 1 and thats it? Crysis 2 is also well regarded and looks gorgeous.

On top of that, you know they're not a single studio and have TONS of branches?

Daw, was so excited for a second. Not much point for me I suppose given I own fraps. Was hoping we'd finally be able to upload uncompressed shots. I mean hell, we have 2 gbs for screenshot space.

Well, I supposed before you start playing the game, you could set the folder to save lossless images in as that specific games screenshot folder, then it would be possible.

Doesn't steam only accept jpg format for screenshots? Think I tried to throw a png in one of the folders before and it wouldn't show up. Possible I put in a bmp not thinking about it though.

Edit:Tried doing so but the steam screenshot upload tab only registers the lossy version, imagine It's because the unlossy version is a png. It does register that there is a screenshot there but says it cannot be loaded. Shame.

So I can just use Steam for lossless screens now, and it'll upload JPEGs to their servers, but I can still keep the PNGs?
