You just made a pretty decent looking game look terrible. Congrats.
When the fuck will people learn about not compressing the ever-loving shit out of Jpegs.

Take screenshots with Fraps in either .png or .bmp as those formats are more or less flawless in quality. Then use any free program you can find on the internet that allows you to convert to jpeg and set it to 100% quality. Compare after and if it doesn't look exactly the same as the original, delete the shit out of the program and pick another.
I personally use Photoshop, but my school provides me with the access.

John, saving pictures as PNG may cause a slight delay compared to BMP, but I don't know that I've tried it with Fraps (maybe only the Source engine?). It might be easier to just do all your shots as BMPs, and then externally convert them with whatever tool. IrfanView can do batch conversions, but some people might say it's horrible. As long as you don't resize, it should be able to do reasonable conversions at whatever quality you want.
Regarding 100% quality, I would be interested if anyone could actually 100% quality to 95% or 97% quality, in terms of human-observable differences as well as one or two DSP techniques for the original vs. compressed. I really suspect you can save some space by going to 95% and lose very little quality.

Oh my god who gives a fuck about 300kb. For fucks sake you have to say that shit and then they think they can go further and then the image gets compressed to shit again.Blizzard said:
Also, PNG used to do that for me on my older computer so yeah, bmp all the way if your computer is old.

Crysis on Very High, how you have eluded me for so long. Who's the bitch now?
Yeah bitch.
and a little thing I noticed when unpaused the game
All the settings on Very High with 8xAAA (adaptive anti-aliasing) and surprisingly playable. The hit from the AA is only 4 or 5fps. The game hovers between 30 and 50fps occasionally dipping into the mid 20s in really hectic situtations.
This is with a 5850 @ 885/1250MHz and a Q6600 @ 3.2Ghz

Still don't like the look of the foliage.

I think one of the only ways around that is to supersample.PjotrStroganov said:
I don't mean to be rude, but that foliage really looks kinda bad to me too. All the little dots everywhere make my eyes feel like they can't even process the scene properly. I feel like the color is washed out or something too, but from my own screenshots I guess it's the same. The colors of these are probably bad, and the foliage still has annoying little jagged dots and so forth on the palm fronds, but I like this style of foliage a little better since it's not so noisy:

Thought I had a whole load of screens lined up. Then I came to the conclusion that I didn't have fraps running:/

It's a top-down action game with heavy puzzle and platforming elements and a little more combat than the main series.Angelus Errare said:

It's an AWESOME kind of game. Go buy it now!
On a serious tone, like Stallion Free has said, a top-down action adventures with lots of quick puzzles, platform elements, shooting and co-op. Download the demo and see for yourself whether you like it or not.

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is the full name.
Playing it on my tv with a wired 360 controller and it is awesome!

Until we get to the stage where graphics cards get powerful enough to run Crysis on Very High with SSAA, we're just stuck with the fantastic-in-motion-terrible-in-stills foliage look for now. ROLL ON THAT DAY.Blizzard said:I don't mean to be rude, but that foliage really looks kinda bad to me too.

no we aren't. you can turn off regular AA and turn on the software edge blurring thing. you'll have jaggies on geometry, but all the foliage will look ace.Suairyu said:

No AA options in game.
It is similar to The Witcher in graphics and character interaction, but the mechanics of combat and character progression are quite different.
Yuripaw said:
It works great with a controller. It has a 360 port and I get the feeling the UI has been streamlined with a console in mind. It's had quite mediocre reviews though, but that hasn't stopped me enjoying it, especially the exploration and loot.
I have a couple of gameplay videos, here and here.
Awesome, thanks for the video links. I may look into picking this game up at some point. I got a pretty decent PC, and I enjoy just seeing how good games look on it sometimes. I may submit some pics on this thread myself sometime.lastplayed said:

I love this architecture, the main castle town has been built around the ruins of an older structure.

This one up here is the best Maf II shot i´ve ever seen. It shows the inzane amount of detail invested in the visuals, sometimes its hard to believe the modelers went that far.Broseybrose said:
Starting with Vito framed out of focus. The way the light showers the right girl´s back and the wrinkles in the guy´s shorts... just perfect. Too bad the smoke from the cigarret is not visible since the effect is the best one so far in a game.
