2014 High-Res PC Screenshot Thread of the Last Hope for Image Quality

Sadly Dark Souls 2 will probably be the same engine and same crappy camera system.

If I remember correctly, the games Shadow Res is prety attocious. So... maybe the fact taht his screens are hiding that somewhat helps quite a bit!

You can force it much higher. Default is 1024 but I've mine set to 4096. I don't think they look bad.

The real issue is LOD, crappy foliage, and not-so-great textures. Forcing "high quality mode" helps that though. You can enable that when you hack in dev mode. Also makes shadows render farther too.

Darkdeus, those Dark Souls shots are absolutely beautiful. Your Flickr page is also a feast for the eyes.

I'm happy to see that people here on GAF appreciate the visuals of this game.

I have friends that say that the game looks like complete shit, which really completely baffles me.
I really think the art direction in Dark Souls is spot on to convey the mood and atmosphere that the game portrays.
 
Very late to the party, first steam game i've played (like ever, never used steam).

3 x 360 panoramas, click on pics to open up viewer








Didn't know if i should post the pics in full resolution here, they are 10 MB +- and as equirectangular pics they don't make much of an artsy screenshot anyway. You can toggle fullscreen in the viewer.

Hey thanks Blinck and Remij! Yea even when I played through the game on the 360 I thought it looked fantastic due to the art style. It's the closest thing to a Berserk videogame as well! I hope the art direction is just as good in Dark Souls 2.

Neo your shots are easily just as impressive, if not more so. I tried to focus on action oriented shots because I didn't think I could compete with your artistic and atmospheric shots. You definitely capture the feeling and mood the game in many of your shots and your image quality seems better as well, even though I'm using your settings.

On a random side note has anyone ever used the "make a book" option on flickr. It would kinda be cool to have a hardcover book of Dark Souls or Skyrim shots.

Love your Dark Souls shots! I'm always surprised by how high quality a lot of the assets in that game are. I never realized, for instance, how detailed the Bat Wing Demon's wings are.
Ditto. There's a real sense of photography to these shots, too, in terms of lighting, composition, etc. It's really awesome to look at. ^_^

This thread needs less fewer? monochrome walls and moar Dark Souls!

I'm playing through Remember Me now, and the combat is okay. It's taking me quite a lot to get used to it, even though it reminds me of batman. You can't just button mash but I find it hard to notice when someone's about to attack me so i can dodge cause I'm staring at the combo icons to see if i didn't fuck it up. Audio is fantastic, art design is fanfuckingtastic.

Which leads into this question, I know one of you knows:

How do I run Remember Me in borderless fullscreen? I can't seem to get the game to work with any relevant apps online? (and I'm recording the game so OBS doesn't really seem to work with exclusive fullscreen)
Also how do I force 16AF in this? It's UE3 so I should just be able to force it in the INI right?

Thats the beauty o modding skyrim .

It like a canvas for you to paint however you want .

But if you want to You can heavily mod the game and make it look awesome without becoming not lore friendly .

EX : check out the S.T.E.P project .

It was more of a rant. It's funny though. It's like 99% of modded Skyrim screenshots with a character in them that exist on the web are of some sort of 15 year old beauty pageant contestant with fake eyelashes, professionally done makeup and hair extensions.

I'm playing Dead Island right now and it's not stuttering.

That was fixed by modders during like the first week of release. Fix is contained within Dead Island Helper.

And the issue was never present for me in Call of Juarez Gunslinger. Dyling Light is using the next iteration of the engine so that's probably smoothed out by now. Hard to tell how much more improved the visual oddities will be though.

No, the key repeating issue isn't the same thing. (Which still doesn't completely eliminate the issue)

This happens even with that fix AND/OR using a controller.

That video link I posted was with a 360 controller. Notice how it persistently stutters/skips even though the framerate is locked 30 solid never dipping.

Not very original, but here is my first two screenshots of Skyrim with ENB! Finally got the thing to work! Anyone got any suggestions, I am willing to take them. :D

You guys take some incredible screenshots.

Yeap, you must first post the images (using the classic img tag) , then they're scaled down to fit the post ,it doesn't work in preview.

Thank you for clearing that up.

Here is my first attempt ever.

Is using the img tag the correct way to post an picture?
When i previewed my post the screenshots were in full 1080p size and not scaled down to fit the post.

Why is it the same games all the time? Do ye guys not play any other games?

OT: I love this thread, just wish there were more variety than Skyrim, Mirrors Edge and Crysis all the time

I would argument that when a new game launches, and it looks good, you'll see people doing screenshots....And really, it's not the SAME games. It's just that some posters like to screenshot specific games, or are in the mood to.
EDIT: just saw your edit. i See what you mean, and i can see your point.
