Some great shots in here. Good job to all you guys with capture cards. The off-screen shots look nice too, but are never representative (they make Wii look good ffs!) so they don't count in my book. :p

Since people complain about the lack of variety, here are some shots from the first few hours of Nier. (Great game btw, I just wish there was a PC version)

Taken using a Blackmagic Intensity Pro.
 
Damn, Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, and GoWIII all still look insane. I can't get over how impressive those visuals are. Definitely the best on a console at this point.

Always liked this one from Trial Mode in FF12 International, because the battle is super hard for me (the 5 judges at once):

My GOD, that is not NOT possible with vanilla FFXII?

After playing the SP 3 times and 700+ hours in the muliplayer I still enjoy looking at screens of KILLZONE 2 :lol

Sad I know!

well to be fair the game is absolutely gorgeous, heck I played it on a sdtv and the jump to an actual hd resolution is freaking huge compared to anything I've seen.
Heck I didn't even know that grenade had the timer on it while playing before :lol

Nice shots Stillmatic, why not in 720p though?
Click to expand...
Sweet, from now i'll just post 720p shots. I'm posting .png's so they're pretty large file sizes, i just thought lowering the res they'd load faster but there's not much difference.

720p versions of my previous post.

God of War 3

Killzone 2

Uncharted 2



And again that panorama:
 
More Killzone 2 pics, please! It's strangely rare to find good quality pics from that game. They're almost always screenshots from a poorly encoded video.

I fucking love that game.
 
Awesome. Can you post some pics from some of the later levels? Some pics of the Mech level would be awesome. Also maybe try to get some action shots in the sand level.

Edit: Oh holy fuck you were posting more after that first post! I love you man!

Fuuuck... seeing Killzone 2 pics makes me want to play the game again and I just don't have as much time as I used to.

er thats from an emulator right? unless you have a magic gamecube/wii that can render at that resolution?

It has to be from an emulator. I'm pretty sure SMG doesn't have Anti-aliasing. :P
 
This is probably flamebait, but while those Killzone 2, God of War 3 and Uncharted 2 screenshots looks good... don't they look rather blurry? Is it lowres upscaled, or is it an actual blur filter? Either way, I don't really like that look.

As a comparison, here's a screenshot of SF4:


Graphics obviously isn't as impressive, but I like how crisp and clear it looks.

It's more to do with my capture gear. It's definitely crisper when i'm playing. FWIW i'm capturing through component cables as well. I think i just need to do some experimenting, hopefully that'll get some sharper images.

But yeah, like mentioned above KZ2 has a lot of blur going on in general, especially when moving so it's pretty hard to get crisp images.

Any recommendations for a capture card? And also what's a good budget for one?
Click to expand...
Most people seem to go for the Black magic Intensity Pro (scroll down) for capturing PS3/360 footage. It's affordable and the quality is great. It has component and HDMI input/outputs, though you can't hook the PS3 up to it via HDMI (360 you can). If you want to capture PS3 footage then you need to use the component input, though you can output with either component or HDMI.

The other option is a HD PVR, which is what i went with. I bought the Hauppauge HD PVR because there aren't as much system requirements as the Intensity Pro and i can hook it up to my PC, laptop or Mac. It doesn't have a HDMI input/output, just component, s-video and composite. The quality is great but i'd imagine the Intensity Pro is better?

You can find them both for around the US$199 mark (Intensity Pro, HD PVR ), which is pretty decent. For both of these options the highest res you can get is 720p/1080i.
 
Stillmatic, thanks so much. This is so refreshing seeing actual screen captures rather than photos of a TV screen.
 
Stillmatic, really nice shots. You get a +1 Internet from me for including screenshots of Siren to show off the rather detailed Shibitos.

btw. BC2 looks horrible, no PQ whatsoever :lol


It has been a while since a game/demo released with the XMB screenshot feature, I hope devs didn't abandon it completely...

see i reckon battlefield an 8 or a 9... maybe even 9 and 1/2 in four beers time.

No worries. :) I've been craving some console screengrabs after regularly seeing the PC thread getting bumped with great screens. Not many people have capturing equipment so it's a good opportunity to play with my new toy. :lol Happy to take requests if i've got the game btw.


Regarding the BC2 screenshot: The game looks much better than that in motion, that screen was just to show the 3 bowling pins i was about to knock down. It's not often in that game i find 3 guys lined up for the easy triple. :D

Here's a better BC2 screen, although at the time i wasn't capturing with the best settings, so it looks better than that, even more-so in motion.

I played the mp demos/beta, I know it has some nice effects and all that but the bad PQ (aliasing etc.) was quite distracting in this game and is really enhanced if you see screenshots of it, that's why I laughed. Some games are made for screenshots, others look better in motion.
e.g. compare the picture quality to MAG which has even bigger environments etc. (but not so nice effects or destruction).
 
Stillmatic: thanks so much for the great Killzone 2 shots. Gorgeous lighting and atmosphere. You have a good eye for composition too. :P
 
Good pictures Stillmatic, but, no offense, they are a bit on the blurry side. Perhaps there are some incorrect settings on your end?

Still, waaaay better than shitty off-screen pictures.

Yeah there was a blur filter on low by default, i took off and tested InFamous and GT, i think they're clearer than the other posts? Pity i didn't notice it was on earlier.
 
God of War 3

I think i've got rid of the blur now. :p
