Since the response on the other thread was pretty good and badly compressed capture card images with logos on them are to be found all over the net, I figured there'd be quite a high demand for good, lossless direct-feed GameCube screenshots.

All of them were taken with GCNrd. Chances are you don't have the necessary equipment or knowledge if you ask how to use it. That's something you'll have to figure out on your own.


Rules:

1. No capture card screenshots. We've already got a gazillion of them on other sites.

2. Please only post screenshots done by yourself. Or some you can be entirely sure of that they are direct-feed.

3. These screenshots may be used anywhere without permission, but don't flick your stupid site logos on them. This is really getting on my nerves - people find good shots online, steal them, put their logos on them and save them in a lossy format. Those shots don't belong to you, neither do they belong to me - the games were created by their respective developers. If you use them, distribute them the way they're intended to be.

4. If possible, crop black borders to minimize file sizes.

5. Lossless image formats encouraged.

Why?

 

[DarthWaiter]

This thread will be even more amazing when more games are posted. Cannot wait. Thanks for a great thread idea!!

 

[Draft]

Do RE4 next.

 

[Prime Blue]

BEWARE! MASSIVE SPOILERS AHEAD!

 

[TheGreatDave]

Shit, Ganondorf is in Twilight Princess?

Spoiler

I approve of this thread, I'm just useless

 

[LegendofJoe]

Those are some massive Twilight Princess spoilers. I've been looking for a high quality model rip of transformed Midna for a while, any idea of what program I could use to rip models?

 

[DarthWaiter]

How come the last 4 of the Wind Waker pictures I can see horizontal lines in the pics?

 

[Phatcorns]

Looks great man. I was really hoping it was some capture hardware you were using, but oh well. I wonder, are there mods for 360 or PS3 that allow this?

 

[Threi]

Why?

Why not?

btw dont do RE4.

You won't be able to unsee it.

These small dots are those lovely particle effects (fog/dust) the GameCube can create. It just doesn't look good in still shots.

Unfortunately, GCNrd isn't able to handle Resident Evil 4. It's one of the few games it doesn't work with:

007:Agent Under Fire
Resident Evil 4
SSX3
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Metal Arms: Glitch in the System
X-Men Legends
X-Men Legends II Rise of the Apocalypse (or however its spelt)
Shrek: Extra Large

Yea I haven't finished TP yet, but I don't mind, but to others it might be a big deal.

Awesome.

All of them were taken with GCNrd.

Double awesome.

Do RE4 next.

Doesn't work with GCNrd. Made doing codes for it quite challenging.

 

[PolyGone]

gamecube > xbox > ps2

 

[Kosma]

Did WW use depth of field?

 

[Threi]

gamecube > xbox > ps2

not really.

 

[GC|Simon]

Awseome thread! Both Zelda games are looking so amazing. Fantastic!

 

[Xrenity]

Wow, Twilight Princess doesn't look that good on those.. I think it looked better when I played it.

Wind Waker still looks hot.

Err, no, the "dots" are artifacts of the 16-bit color depth the game is using. Most GC and Wii games use this low color depth and suffer from it as a result.

gamecube > xbox > ps2

Gamecube stronger than Wii confirmed.

F-ZERO GX pls.

 

[JonathanEx]

Brilliant stuff, good job: and I'm sure those look better than some official screenshots from Nintendo...

 

[Prime Blue]

No, it's really just the particle effects. You'll notice those are not present in other shots without fog/dust.

 

[Eric_S]

Alpha channel dithering.

It's trying to calculate the transluceny of the fog/farticle effect and runs up short due to insufficent colour depth.

 

[KevinCow]

If you're taking requests, F-Zero GX and the Metroid Primes.

 

[Guzim]

This just made me want to replay Wind Waker.

 

[ohamsie]

I tried looking up GCNrd on google, and it looks way out of my league. :lol

I second the request for F-Zero GX if you're doing requests.

 

[Ronin]

This just made me want to replay Wind Waker.

Damn, me too.

 

[donny2112]

 

[Prime Blue]

PS: Haven't got F-Zero GX, but will get around to doing Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2 Echoes.

PPS: Nice stuff, donny2112.

 

[RiskyChris]

Fuuuuuuuck, Wind Waker was so beautiful. I'd shit bricks if the next Zelda went that style again (and I think Japan would appreciate it).

Thanks for making me want to replay it, Triforks quest ftl.

That's right.

 

[TheGreatDave]

Hopefully the next Zelda will reach some sort of common ground between WW and TP. I want cell shaded without looking like Wind Waker.

 

[Mato]

Really cool thread. I can't wait to see Metroid Prime 1 and RE4.

 

[LegendofJoe]

Hopefully the next Zelda will reach some sort of common ground between WW and TP. I want cell shaded without looking like Wind Waker.

It's the extremely childish character models that bothered people I think. If they make the style of the models more grown up looking I believe a lot less people will have problems with it. I liked TP more than WW, but I love Zelda either way so whatever they do is fine by me.

 

[donny2112]

I can't wait to see Metroid Prime 1 and RE4.

GCNrd doesn't work with RE4.

These two images are a manually combined result from multiple GCNrd screenshots. I would zoom in as far as possible, take the screenshot, move over, take another screenshot, etc., and then combine them in Paint by hand.

 

[nincompoop]

Post some screens of Rebel Strike and Star Fox Adventure plz

 

[KevinCow]

PS: Haven't got F-Zero GX

You should check it out. Awesome game.

Got Pikmin 1 and/or 2? I remember those games looking rather nice.

 

[AdmiralViscen]

So... are you replaying all these games, or do you have dozens of saves?

FFCC holds up really, really well.

 

[kizmah]

Crystal Chronicles is a beautiful game. Too bad it's completely devoid of soul.

Great thread btw.

 

[Firestorm]

SSBM go go go!

FFCC can eat shit and die. I still haven't beat it x.x

 

[TheGreatDave]

I just don't want to play what feels like a direct sequel to Wind Waker. It was so good because it looked so different, and I want that again, while playing to the strengths of the system.

 

[Edag Plata]

I always thought GameCube games looked great...then I saw Wii screenshots and I still think they do.

Sorry haters, but Star Fox Adventures would be a great display for this thread.

 

[Nintaiyo]

I approve of this thread. Gamecube was a great system.

 

[Crushed]

I love you and I love this thread.

I also hate Nintendo and their awful screenshots, and Wii developers who can't make games that look anywhere near as good as these ones.

 

[Yoboman]

I'd love to see this for other systems you have if you could too

 

[Mefisutoferesu]

Could someone do beyond Good & Evil... I'm thinking of buying it for GC and would love some screens.

 

[Yoboman]

Oh and maybe you should mark for spoilers specifically

edit: Oh you did, I just didn't read

 

[donny2112]

Sorry haters, but Star Fox Adventures would be a great display for this thread.

Most of my pictures were taken to show off codes

Spoiler

anyone want to see giant Pikmin in Pikmin 2?

, but I do have one SFA screenshot.

 

[SovanJedi]

Ganondorf's death scene in Twilight Princess is still one of the most haunting and memorable scenes I've seen in gaming for a good while.

I dunno though. Putting the two side by side, I can see why people can be more enamoured by the Wind Waker style. It's definitely something, in all honesty, I prefer (of course in general I thought Twilight Princess was a much better game, but that's another thing altogether)

Do Pikmin! Do Pikmin!

 

[rollingstart]

someone should post some pictures of the Star Wars games for the Gamecube, some of those were just amazing visually.
