Looks like a real photo, very good.

 

[shandy706]

Does this drift well?

Sure, although I'm not much of a drifter. At least, I assume so...the physics are much improved in Forza 5 and I know that there was/is a big drifting community in Forza 4.

wii u shots are making this thread obsolete

Apparently reading the OP is obsolete as well.

Careful...

5. Critique and be opinionated about games/shots, but don't threadshit. This is not the place for you to moan about how all Wii U screenshots drag the thread quality down, or how ugly all Xbox One titles are. Be fucking nice for once in your life.

 

[Seanspeed]

I don't know about that logic. I was under the impression that "well done" bullshots were NOT touched up in photoshop, but rather were randered at a much higher resolution with AA added. It's something that the machine can do, but not at anything close to a playable framerate.

Is this not pretty much the same thing this "photo mode" is doing?

The shots are not indicative of actual gameplay, or even in-game cutscenes, therefore I'm on the side of saying they shouldn't be included here. If they are, labeling definitely shoudl be mandatory.

Its amazing that this isn't an issue in the PC thread. Why? Because no platform wars and nobody worried about anything except posting pretty pictures. Its not meant to be a place for people to decide on purchases or to inform consumers. I think that's a very dry way of seeing a thread like this.

I mean, if somebody takes an ugly game, but finds a rare moment or angle of beauty, should they not post it just because 'its not indicative of normal gameplay'?

Oh c'mon, everything looks as shiny and flat as the Pixar shortfilms from the 90s.

Which murders the grabs more on PS4, Twitter or facebook?

Definitely Twitter. Use Facebook.

Roger. Thanks.

Will make a new account then.

Well there is a bit of a difference. You can achieve that IQ on PCs. They are posting stuff that looks like what they are playing. Obviously photomode stuff doesn't, they aren't really in game screenshots. But, yeah, I don't really see the problem, as long as the thread doesn't get saturated with them. I am much more interested in seeing pretty shots from Forza gameplay though.

 

[flippedb]

Roger. Thanks.

Will make a new account then.

Or set the PS4 uploads folder to private.

 

[Always-honest]

I rather see real gameplay screens. But since it's not that hard to tell the difference, i just skip the photomode screens.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Does the Xbox One just not have a screenshot function? There's a complete lack of screens from that platform in this thread aside form the photomode Forza pics.

 

[Ricky_R]

Hmmm that would've been better.

Anyway, I already made the new account. Will use this one. Thanks.

***BTW, has there being word from Sony about letting us save uncompressed grabs on the PS4? And about external drives support?

 

[Ricerocket]

Would love to see some X1 shots which I thought would be easy since it doesn't have HDCP for capture cards.

There are definitely people who post screenshots done at downsampled resolutions that even a console gamer would consider unplayable. It may technically be 'gameplay', but its effectively the same thing as photomode in that regard.

I don't think people labelling their shots as photomode is a bad idea, just to quiet the people who somehow think it might be misleading for those who use this thread as consumer report thread, though. Sounds like a reasonable compromise.

I do agree the ultra down-sampled PC shots can also often be misleading too, but a lot of people with high end PC gear actually run those games in ultra high resolutions down-sampled. So it's not really the same at all. The games can be run to look like that in real life, just at lower frame rates. Not the same at all with consoles. GT5/6 and F4/5 in-game look nothing like their photo mode pics.

In-fact, a lot of people just want GT7 (PS4) in-game to look closer to GT5 Photo mode pics. That says it all really.

 

[S0cc3rpunk]

No, rim lighting was it's style for Galaxy. And yeah, this game is a mixed bag. Some areas look nice, and others have just an over used of bloom (which is something else all together) and their shaders that give everything a crappy Fresnel refraction.


Considering the Wii U is somewhere around the 4000 series, that's not surprising.



Can we try posting native resolution screen grabs and not downscaled?
That game sure as hell doesn't run in 853 x 480.

sorry im new to doing this

 

[cyberheater]

edit: Wrong thread.

 

[BeeDog]

Personally don't see the point of having photomode screens in this topic, seeing as there is a dedicated Forza 5 photo topic for all of the car porn. I'd rather have this topic being solely for gameplay screengrabs so people like me can form some kind of impression of the actual graphical output of a game.

 

[nbnt]

Can tell these are with capture card, very nice. Can front or side car shots be taken?

Yes you can spin the camera.

Just because the Xbox/PS4 doesn't allow you to run these games with the same sort of post-processing/downsampling doesn't mean it isn't the same thing.

Basically, people should not take anything here as gospel about how a game looks. Its just posting pretty pics. That's it. Its so simple and the PC thread is that much better for going by this simple mantra.

Correct.

 

[TheAngryMonkey]

Some WiiU Need for speed.


Seems odd on this game that I can't spin the cam round to take a side shot. Minor grumble I guess.

It can, use the right stick. You can't do it in all spots though.

 

[D-e-f-]

The camera always circles back around once you hit the Home button.

 

[gamingeek]

 

[Pjsprojects]

Yes you can spin the camera.

Yeah but can you press share at that angle and take a pic?
Asking because on WiiU the cam reverts back to normal rear view when in snapshot mode.

Why not? If they're direct frame buffer captures straight from gameplay itself, why shouldn't people take it as indicative of how the game looks in actual gameplay? If anything the game will look better in real life with more macro detail due to being compression free. But these "gameplay" captures are absolutely representative of actual in-game visuals.

Honestly, your point seems completely amiss. Photomode and in-game captures are a world apart. Stop trying to downplay the relevance of the latter in defence of the former.

Even your point about the PC thread being better for that is missing the point. Most people can't or won't be running PC games looking the way they do in that high-res screenshots thread. Every single person with a Wii U, PS4 or Xbox One will be running games looking exactly like (minus the compression) the gameplay captures in this thread.

 

[cakefoo]

Photomode shots that require extra processing are never indicative of actual gameplay, whereas the more realtime shots a game has, it can be assumed that that game is pretty overall. It's not like people are being deceitfully selective to hide games' true ugliness.

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

AC on PS4.

For a cross-gen Ubi open world game it has its moments.

 

[Timu]

I will be getting Forza 5 next week so there's going to be 1080p direct feeds.=p

Yeah it doesn't have one, but I have posted Dead Rising 3, Killer Instinct and Crimson Dragon in this thread.

Would love to see some X1 shots which I thought would be easy since it doesn't have HDCP for capture cards.

No screenshot function, and yeah what you said is true, here's a pic I took:

 

[Kyzon]

This game keeps on giving. Noir?

 

[Pitmonkey]

Oh Noes! Moar Wii U uglieness.

 

[Mitark]

Killzone Shadow Fall

it’s beautiful

 

[dark10x]

Come on, guys, there's way too much Most Wanted on Wii U in here. It's not that impressive looking.

If you told me this was from a flight sim I'd believe you..LOL

Man, the textures in Forza are extremely nice but the selected texture filtering method absolutely DESTROYS them while playing. They absolutely needed to use anisotropic filtering and I'm completely floored that it wasn't enabled. All this detail is wasted.

Dont You have Your own capture card and both Ryse and Forza? Make some shots

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

Some more KZ.

Some more KZ.

For some reason they aren't showing up

 

[Timu]

Really? I can see them just fine.

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

You sure it's not a problem on your end; I just opened in IE and Firefox fine.

 

[Boogybro]

Really? I can see them just fine.

Nope. But I quoted the user and copied the links just fine from there.

 

[nib95]

Not showing up for me either. Safari here.

Works perfectly on Waterfox for me.

Eh. I think they look pretty nice.

That's really strange; don't know what could call cause that.

 

[BraXzy]

Some more KZ.

Fixed?

 

[Timu]

That's really strange; don't know what could call cause that.

For others to see them you might want to host them on something like minus.
