This. I don't want to see up-res shots of emulated games.
This thread is making me wish this forum had some kind of minimize post view button so I could stop reloading the same massive posts.
At least it's off the last page. It's not even a question of bandwidth, it's that it becomes tedious to scroll through! Can't imagine having 100 posts per page view on.
Killing the emulator shots as well would help.

I don't dislike emulator shots, what I think is really needed is some kind of limit of shots per post that most agree on. Maybe 2 or 3 full-res shots per post, if you want to do more you can add thumbnails or text links, or wait and post them later. It would make people more selective in what they post and make "full" pages much more feasible to navigate.

Those shift and nba screens look amazing. I'm really tempted to buy them for looks alone...

tried playing some tombraider underworld last night, couldn't play for long. got a really bad headache from the camera. it jitters or whatever when you move the character and the mouse around at the same time. also really weird animation/character movement stuff overall. a bit too annoying to play, might try again with 360 controller.. screen captures from deleted gameplay videos
Holy cow, I didn't remember Tomb Raider Underworld looking that good underwater. I thought I was playing with high settings too.
Merrick, I actually think the mouse bugged me too for some reason, and I usually play with mouse and keyboard. I might have ended up using the 360 controller instead, and for some reason the camera rotation is much smoother with that if I recall correctly. At least give it a shot for a pretty game.
As much as most people seemed to hate the underwater section at the start, I thought it was pretty gorgeous and not really annoying...I liked diving around and exploring stuff. And I was really impressed by the Super Metroid-esque part early on

It's hard recommending NBA 2K10 b/c I know how buggy the game is but at $20 +given the great image quality (I've never played a sports game that looked this good...the console iterations are a jaggy mess up close), and with a promise of a large patch that addresses most of the issues, the complete lack of polish is more amusing than infuriating. I know I would be up in arms if I paid $60 for what they put out on the consoles.
BTW...I second the suggestion on posting thumbnails in this thread from now on. I love this thread and it has sold me on a few games but man is this thread hard to browse through.

will definitely try again with 360 pad, might have been something with the 120hz refresh rate I played with also that enhanced the jittering or something. but yeah, I thought the water part was fine also.
another water game, xenus2 white gold (white gold war in paradise). rpg fps thing. it's the sequel to boiling point road to hell. never going to be released outside russia it seems, because it looks like the devs have died (the team I mean, not the people heh).

yeah, superb game. I sent several emails to random starbreeze emails complaining about no pc version. no one cared. hehe. such a shame. played through the game on both 360 and ps3. man, the ps3 version is HIDEOS. but still worked fine. in other starbreeze news I hated the first riddick, but finally played through dark athena a couple of weeks ago. really great.TheExodu5 said:

TF2 has one of the most appealing visual and artstyle I've seen in a PC game.

It really doesn't look like the Citadel, the architecture is completely different, and the lighting is on a whole other level.
I'd say the ETQW community is better now than ever. Mostly because the few that are left is playing for the love of the game. Most clans spread equally on the teams in order to get the match as balanced as possible, which results in many an epic battle. So many games gets decided in the very last second, so awesome!
The graphics are nice, but the games weak point is the movement and animations, which the screenshots don't show very well. Also, there is a shitload of stuff going on at all times, people are jumping, sprinting, running and gunning and bombs are flying in all directions, so you're in luck if you ever see someone up close for as much as a split second.
The DoF effect is only available on screenshots. It's called jitter, and basically it just shakes the screen so that some parts of the screenshot gets blurred. Use these console commands:
In combination with demo playback and FoV tweaking, it's a lot of fun to take screens

The decision to lock the game at 30 fps was a bad one in my opinion. I know the game is extremely complex and it was probably necessary to get the physics to sync across clients, but it sure doesn't make it an attractive game in motion. Surely they could have use some kind of interpolation.
Still an awesome game though.

I just upgraded by graphics card from a 7300GT to a 9800GTX+ and was trying out some stuff. I really like the card. Here's a screenshot from the James Cameron's Avatar: The Movie: The Game: The Demo that I thought was fairly impressive.
Settings mostly at High, 2x AA, 1680x150 resolution.

G0DLIKE said:Took some screens of Mass Effect a few days ago. Thought this shot looked nice.
Photobucket has a max image size of 1024px × 640? Weak.
I've been thinking about picking up Mass Effect for the PC, as I've already run through the 360 version. How will it run on a Quad Core with an 8600GT and 2gigs of ram? Is it worth playing on the pc?

reduced these by 50%
this is all from the same race under single order mode. didn't start the campaign yet, it's fun enough just doing the different hauls or races from different locations with different trucks and loads for now. my russian isn't exactly great so still a bit intimidated by the storydriven campaign mode. will jump in soon. it doesn't look super good, especially the scenery is pretty rough, but the vehicles look great and the night time driving is awesome. maybe should have done some night screens. oh well. anyway the driving is superb (although the collisions and crash physics are pretty bad, but it's not carmageddon so who gives a shit), the map is huge. huge in that it actually takes a while to drive across. other trucking games like scs' ones have had maps which are supposed to be like most of mainland europe and so on and it takes 20 minutes to drive across the tiny scaled down piece of shit. but rignroll map is actually really varied and doesn't feel that small when you're driving.
so yeah. for anyone interested in trucking games this is rig'n'roll (international release next year), you can get the russian version right now from online.1c.ru. it's 500 rubles (17 dollars, they take visa now). drm is online activation starforce (no install crap that requires a reboot and that old bullshit style starforce, oh and 4 activations I think).
