Why have people stopped listing resolution , downsampling/AA methods , any filters they are using etc in the screenshot thread?

I always liked seeing how much AA was used and what the effect was
I'd like to see this too, though I guess it may be a lot of work for some people if they are using 4k downsampled images cropped/resized in photoshop or something, since they'd have to copy and paste a big description each time they post. :p

Allow me to break a rule one time, because this level was pure eye sex. If you're playing BF4, I don't care what resolution you're at, disable the Hud. It seems like a little thing, but the aesthetic goes WAY up. More so than in any other game I'd say.

But if you can afford it, This level at 4K, or even 1620p with over 30 fps is fucking orgasmic.

The teeth in BF4 bother me. Long distance shots look incredibly nice, but there is something jarring about the characters - most likely the teeth :)

Haha yeah, this was bugging me too. Some of the characters are amazing, like that first shot by legacyzero up there, but the teeth sticking out makes it look like shes got a really ill fitting pair of dentures going on. Plunges it right back down into uncanny valley territory

BF 4 looks outstanding. Cant wait for Mass Effect and Battlefront :)
I hope they'll add more tech to Frostbite before those ships, like SSR or POM.

Definitely. There was one or two levels where I saw some reflections, but they were pretty unimpressive. Don't know why it wasn't more of a priority considering how often you see water and wet surfaces and buildings.

BF4 looks insane but am I the only one that still thinks Crysis 3 still looks better.

I think DICE has a SLIGHT artistic edge, but from a technical point, Crysis eats BF4. Lack of meaningful use of Reflections and other important DX10-11 features means the scenes could have looked so much better.

As far as graphics technology goes, Crytek is king. The amount of detail that goes into their single player scenes is insane. Their grass is mind-blowingly good and doesn't look nearly as "gamey" as BF4's.

Also, this face!


Dice has a nice art style and likes to fool you with fancy lighting effects. BF4 is still one of the best looking games I've played though.

From a tech standpoint, Crysis 3 is obviously much more involved (POM, SSR on every surface, full real time GI from sun, Bokeh sprite system (which is much more physically accurate than the system Dice uses), etc...)

But BF4 is nice looking.

Playing a piece of computer game history here.

Not exactly graphically stunning but what do you expect from a Dos era game ?
It still looks nice though.

True...Crytek's problem is that its games are aesthetically amazing, but have a crappy gameplay.

I have to disagree with this point. The gameplay in Crytek's games is nothing short of great.

Where they disappoint is plot, plot pacing, inconsistent storytelling and characterization and exposition.

Crysis, I love dearly and it has had some amazing potential to be phenomenal. But always fucks it up in some way or another. Mostly in the story department, also: Irony considering they are so high on Tech, yet they can't seem to re-write their specular lighting model to produce less aliasing issues and always use ultra low quality low res FMVs.

I bought I have no mouth myself and I'm looking forward to it incredibly. In the meanwhile, I can't tear myself away from this Ninja Theory gem. Most of that is due to neo's camera hack.
Talk about your wow factor:
