Took down screen caps I read in the OP that using Steam was okay.

Pre-rendered videos and Steam-hosted shots are both frowned upon.

I thought Enslaved was one of the laziest PC ports I've seen... until MG Rising rolled around. You can actually get decent looking screenshots from Enslaved though.
What's wrong with Steam hosting?

I even loaded both with firebug opened to check load times. Steam delivered it in 459ms and Flickr in 865ms. I dunno. Steam seems decent as a host. REAL pain in the ass to get shots uploaded and then to get the originals but... eh. It's viable.
Totally agree about pre-rendered cut scenes though.

It's a shame more effort wasn't put into the PC port of Enslaved, I loved the 360 version back in the day.
I can't really see any discernible difference between the two.

99.9% of people whose shots were posted using Steam as a host did not jump through those hoops. The default jpeg quality Steam does use is not acceptable for this thread.

Exactly. Just because there is possibility, doesn't mean it's going to happen often. It's better to warn against using Steam, than to have a lot of uninformed people using it wrong. IMO at least.

Ahhh. So it's Steam-captured shots moreso than Steam hosted shots. Yeah. The default steam capture is garbage. May as well upload to IMGUR.
Guess I'll try and contribute something to the thread
Now with FPS at around the time of capture
Also using a hacked EXE that actually supports the "21:9" ratio.

If only they took the time to make the textures better for Enslaved. That would have been killer.
It's like I've been saying, though. You gotta crawl before you can walk. Give them the incentive to release their games on PC, and the rest will follow suit. Dark Souls is the perfect example. Shitty port leads to community fix, leads to Dark Souls II with PC being the lead platform IIRC.
Lets just give them time. From software already sees it. Platinum Games sees it. Kojima sees it.
It's only a matter of time.

That seems to have been apllying to Fighters, and hopefully, one day we'll get Soul Calibur on PC. I have dreams!

I spawned them. Then I killed them all.
I'll be honest, I'm not quite the ENB config kind of skyrim player. I use ENB quite a lot, and this one is using FarOff ENB as it's basis right now, but I tweak it specifically (sometimes to wild amounts) for every shot. Also a good deal of what makes that shot look nice (if it does) is the brilliant DoF filter (mindstalker's) which can be paired with any ENB, and also the nice foggy weather stuff, which is a mod (Supreme Fog and a fog thing for CoT).
I don't want to sound whiny or as if you have made any particular annoyance with your question or anything, so.. just generally I'd like to say that there are more ways to view a Skyrim screenshot than just 'how did you make it look like that?'. 'Making it look like that' might be what most people (myself included) are doing, but boiling it down to a pass-along ENB config is a bit undercutting to the potential of the game as far as recording it is concerned. And it leads to a lot of shots that are 'gee look at how I made it look like this'... of grass or water. Few games have as incredible a tool kit for running around and making images. Thus I would like to say, though in utter vain, hey internet... yes ENB is a thing, and thank god. Let's move on.
I KILLED THEM ALL.
Woof.

Is that with Durantes method?

Isnt the 360 the one with good textures? couldn't someone extract and use them on the PC version, or it's too complicated?

Fuck Next Gen and Next Next Gen.
We can jump the two of them here and now. All things considered, I imagine within two GPU Gens, we'll be running Witcher 3 at 8K with plenty of FPS.

I WISH we could jump generations. Games are still going to be built with console power in mind first (for the most part). That means texture quality, effects, lighting, polygons, etc etc... are going to be hindered for a good 8 years.
I'm not sure how we'll get Witcher 3 to 8K unless DuranteSampling supports DX11 by then xD

True. But I'd think that with enough time, even Nvidia and AMD would embrace 4K+.
There's already TVs at 5K. I have a feeling things are going to be moving pretty fast this Gen.

I thought there might be somebody that likes that kind of modest shots, I got the inspiration from some Mirror's Edge Shots. But if no likes that I stop posting those, my bad.

I've not dabbled in Mirrors Edge shots too much because I always run into trouble with the controls somehow.

Why is that game still $50? I want it, but I broke!

Downsampling from 4K is easier on my system than Ubersampling @ 1440p...

Übersampling would be 4X 1440. So that does make sense.

I got it once on GreenManGaming for $10-12. Keep an eye on it, GMG has really good deals!
Only 1080p with ingame AA, my current monitor doesn't accept any higher res

Define "free cam" because last I checked, the game has no "real" free camera.

I can probably push this game to 10K. Disabling the High AA setting improved the Framerate considerably. At Low, it's only FXAA, and I get well over 30 FPS at 8K.
I'll have to do another playthrough sometime after I finish this one, now that I can not only push it this far, but use Free Cam. It's a wonderful game with some annoying combat quirks.
I meant the Static one, as well as the First Person Ghost. Finicky as shit.

You could easily just get 16K shots of Mirrors Edge using tiledshot.

True, but for testing purposes, and the fact that I'm downsampling to 1080p, this was enough. Does Tiledshot provide an advantage in LoD? (Also, Tiledshot doesn't like to work well with Durante's Solution, and I'm too lazy to disable it,
)Also, these are Gameplay level shots. I was playing with a pretty good framerate, and PhysX on. It looks much better than Driver level Downsampling by a long shot.

Well . here are 2 of them taken with Tiledshot 4.
Up to you whether they look better then your shots.

Does this tool potentially have the ability to take tiledshot level resolution screens of the Mass Effect games without running into the vignette/post process issues that tiledshot does?
jim2point0

I think you're only limited by what your GPU can handle. Though I think going over 8K is absolutely pointless. That should be more than enough for Mass Effect.

What I meant to say was that, during gameplay, Durante's Solution is much better than Driver level Downsampling, from a visual perspective, and based on my experience, from a performance perspective. Tiledshot is great in Mirrors Edge, but for the purpose of taking gameplay shots this is all I need. I want the game to look good while I play almost as much as taking screenshots, so if I can bypass the need for Tiledshots, I will.
Almost. If you can spare the Vram, you can go up to 16K. For screenshots this is amazing, and when Downsampling screenshots to 1080p, 6-8K is more than enough, as well as more than achievable with a good card. But where Durante's Solution really shines is the fact than not only are you seeing a smoother image on your screen, but you can get whatever Hz you want. 6K and 120Hz is not impossible now. Hell, if you had a 300Hz monitor, for whatever reason, and a card that could push the frames, you could be playing at 6K with 300FPS, and not be bottlenecked by the wire you're using.
