A bit of Zeno Clash love and big thanks to OCtagon for repeatedly blowing my mind

That all depends on what you call respectable. Bear in mind that not all of those screens are captured using tools like Fraps - some are grabbed at super hi-res and then shrunk to eliminate aliasing. I also have a high tolerance for framerates most would consider heresy on PC, and probably even on console. I have a GTX285 Nvidia card and ageing Core2Duo; the former does most of the heavy lifting.

The reason this thread exists is because some users of the PC screenshot thread weren't comfortable with shots that weren't 100 per cent indicative of gameplay. That was more about image quality and anti-aliasing than composition and content, though I think the last two are actually the more misleading.

Short version: get the most expensive videocard you can and play everything using 2x2 supersampling or greater at middling framerates. The end.

You also color correct your photos and run a couple of filters when downsampling. None of the games you've shown have the contrast and colors that you show. Which is fine by me, I think the shots are beautiful, but it should be honest.

How about some Metro 2033 bullshots... I know someone can make pretty with this game...

It is honest. He said that. Somewhere. Fuck if I'll be fucked to hunt it down.

TheOctagon, could you maybe try some Settlers 7 or Anno 1404? Would love to see what you could do with those games.

 

[Mr_Zombie]

TheOctagon, what have you change in Mass Effect 2 config file that you are able to use tiledshot without those dark borders (and other postprocessing effects)?

 

[Erasus]

Awesoem pics everyone! shows the power of the PC, but Wipeout HD looks amazing! ;D

I thought that was God OfWar 1 for a sec. :lol

 

[TheFightingFish]

That's a fantastic Zeno Clash shot Aon. My favorite non-TheOctacon shot of this thread.

 

[Soule]

I've always loved the art of World of Warcraft and how well they set things out, one of my favourite sections of the game was going through Khara for the first time.

Some amazing shots in this thread and I've got a new wallpaper too, now lets see if I can find some artistic stuff in Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts :lol

cool thread

Been playing a lot of NOLF2 again lately despite constant crashes to desktop that are basically unavoidable. Here's a couple of epic bullshots:

Awesome, awesome thread. The only things I have to contribute are the ones I made from Brawl, so here goes. Raw, non-emulator shots.

I hope these are ok If you want me to split them up I can do that but their not full size.

Ouch.... This thread is supposed to show off artistic screen shots ... The OP also stated:

"- No more than two full-size images per post. A full-size image is considered anything larger than 500px along any side. If you want to post more than two full-size images, either double-post or use thumbnails for the rest."

FAIL

 

[abstract alien]

Gotta remove the HUD from some of your shots also.

TheOctagon, what have you change in Mass Effect 2 config file that you are able to use tiledshot without those dark borders (and other postprocessing effects)?

'tiledshot 3 1024'

The 3 is the scale of the shot, the 1024 defines the overlap between tiles. This corrects elements like the vignette and any marginal bits of the HUD. You'll also need to go into coalesced.ini and dial the lens flare values down to zero. Lens flare and tiledshot don't mix.

Max Payne (1) Kung Fu mod 3.0

No offence but those aren't art shots. They belong in the PC screenshots thread.

Complete, and I mean complete, control when you pause the game.

Holy crap that's beautiful. But I don't remember this from Mass Effect 2. Is this DLC or does my memory suck?

 

[DonMigs85]

More pics of GTAIV PC please.

 

[DodgyGeezerFella]

Last ones, promise

 

[vitaminwateryum]

Oh my god.

Those Mirrors Edge and BioShock 2 shots. The composition in most of them is fantastic.

 

[modulaire]

I love this thread. Keep up the good work.

Too bad we will never see downsampled shots like TheOctagon's from PS3 exclusives like Uncharted2 or God of War3. Would be nice to see considering much potential there is (effects, artstyle)....

Too bad all pictures taken with the in-game photo mode are compressed to hell when they're uploaded I wonder if my HD5850 can act as a capture card.
