I'm finding Uncharted 3 a little more difficult to capture anything particularly satisfying so far. I might have something worthwhile by the end of it though.

@KALofKRYPTON There will be moments. The early areas are more enjoyable to just play, and not keep pausing every thirty seconds. I think I got a couple of barfight shots in my second playthrough, but then didn't stop and go really nuts until the chateau grounds.

@KALofKRYPTON Awesome stuff, particularly the second and last shots! Although with regards that third one, with the rays of light, well... great minds and all that...
I'd say "we spend too much time together" but it'd be weird doing so to a stranger.

Last night I (finally, after two years of saying I would) got back to Horizon: Zero Dawn and turned its first twenty minutes into a marathon Photo Mode fiddle. Here are the results.
Taking inspiration from @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy for these next two, grabbed when I recognised the spot in which she'd taken her almost-winning screenshot.
And this last one had to be resized, because the level of detail is just insane. I'm playing in Resolution Mode, rather than Performance Mode as I did before, so it's just bonkers whenever I'm not using depth of field focus to make background features blurry.
"We want different things, Crosshair. That doesn't mean that we have to be enemies."
@KALofKRYPTON I dunno, I am partial to a bit of noir. I think I prefer yours!
And thanks. It's a breathtaking game. Since it had been a while, just wandering through its tutorial had me grinning and shaking my head at just how insanely pretty it all looks (to the point where I'm struggling to comprehend how we're about to somehow get "better" graphics from a new console generation).

That's partially why I'm not burning to grab a PS5 at launch (he says now...). I am and have been extremely happy with my PS4 experience from launch. Since the architecture is so PC like, I doubt PS4 will have the late-life glow-up of some of the PS3 twilight titles, but I'm still happy with what's on offer.
Unlike PS3, I'm not jumping ship early. There are too many great titles, such as HZD that I'm yet to play.

@KALofKRYPTON Heck, you're still playing PS3 titles on PS4 right now!
But I agree. It's kinda like the jumps between VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray and now UHD 4K. I could see a vast difference between the first two, then a solid difference and now it's just a slight improvement. Sitting there last night, watching a line of soldier ants carrying leaves up a tree trunk in Horizon, I thought to myself "And we're supposed to be getting a new console... when, exactly?"
The PS4 has been one heck of a generation. No need to leave it behind until you're ready, not until PS5 has had enough of a head-start to accumulate a worthwhile library of exclusives.

As I've said elsewhere, if the PS4 dies, then I'll grab a 5 - if it is actually completely backwards compatible with PS4. If it isn't, then I'm not entirely sure.

@KALofKRYPTON Yeah, seeing a few folks asking "Should I get a PS4 Pro, or wait?" and it's kinda like, there's all this amazing stuff out there right now, no waiting required, no unknown launch titles or new tech or anything, and it all feels cutting-edge... I get the hesitation, but I'm in no hurry.

A few final shots from Horizon and then I'll leave you all alone for the weekend, promise.

I've just fired off the download for Arkham Knight. Because it's another game I never finished and now have space for
So I'll be getting on that after Uncharted, and maybe Doom ;-p

I can't believe you found my super secret place where I took that screenshot @RogerRoger! It's not like it was the first Watcher you ever come across... 😂
Absolutely stunning shots! All those lens flares though... You trying to take my crown? 😉
Nice Uncharted 3 snaps too @KALofKRYPTON! I have actually played the third uncharted so I do actually recognise where you took those and the scenes that took place
@RogerRoger Sweet Horizon shots. Especially the third action pic with the robot name I've forgotten (sabretooth?) and the silhouette one in your previous post. Very tempted to give the game another play again.
@KALofKRYPTON You're picking all the games with the best Photo Modes! We demand bat-caps!
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I can't decide whether I've rumbled you, or you've rumbled me! Either way, yeah, it was too tempting to snag a couple from the same spot. Don't worry, the crown will forever remain yours; every flare I produce is simply an homage, Your Majesty!
@BearsEatBeets Um... I wanna say that it's a Scrapper? But your name sounds right, too! When I get back to the game, I'll look it up. Regardless, thank you!
@Arugula It's an incredible achievement, to be certain. Will always be PS4's prettiest game, methinks.
"We want different things, Crosshair. That doesn't mean that we have to be enemies."
@JohnnyShoulder Cheers! Having never played God of War, I'll take your word for it (and if this is what the runner-up looks like, then blimey, I can only imagine...!).
Amazing shots from Assassin's Creed there. The first, third and fifth are my favourites, although they'd all make for great desktop wallpapers. Is that a freakin' huge crocodile, or is the camera just really close? I can't quite tell. Either way, he's a beast!
@KALofKRYPTON Awesome. I never got many from the convoy chase (too busy enjoying it, probably my favourite bit of the whole game) so that last shot in particular really stands out to me.
"We want different things, Crosshair. That doesn't mean that we have to be enemies."
@RogerRoger@KALofKRYPTON Cheers guys! Nice Uncharted pics Kal! Some of those scenes look very familiar from my time playing Origins, I don't remember is part of U3 set in Egypt?
@RogerRoger The croc was bigger than your average size one, in every animal pack there is an alpha who is a bigger and a bit higher level and paler in colour than the others. It probably does look bigger as I zoomed in though! This particular beast was part of a mission where you have to rescue it and escort back to its hideout, which is why it wasn't try to bite my face off! You can tame animals as well, and they will follow you and fight alongside you.
