Topic: The Thread of Totally Awesome Video Game Screenshots [Slow Connections Beware]

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy It can give a pretty good stab at PS2 quality within reason, but only the most skilled and Sony backed dev's got anything close to PS3 looking. Killzone: Mercenary being the best example of that; Stripped back KZ2 engine and some clever direction and resolution handling.

Iconoclasts looks really nice! It's on my 'was fee on Plus so play it!' list.

I've heard a lot of praise for Killzone Mercenaries from vita players... It actually uses the KZ2 engine? That game was undeniably good looking so that's quite a feat

I won a code for Iconoclasts in a contest @KALofKRYPTON so it's 100% free for me! 😂

There's quite a big focus on story (it could be a teensy bit clearer on some points at times though) and chracter arcs too for a platformer (with a smidge of metroidvania elements) and the bosses are pretty fun. Music's pretty nice too. Done by one person too which is always impressive to me

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Tell a lie, it's the Killzone 3 engine. Heavily engineered, but the engine was built to run on variable platforms. So it wasn't as tough a port moving to the Vita architecture.
It really is a very good game - even holds up well on PSTV!

Here's the DF article on it pre-release: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-inside-kill...

I checked on the Store, I do have Iconoclasts!
I'm pretty scheduled up - but it does looks worth a go.

Lunchtime system hopping in Elite 🤘🏽

Another round of excellent Uncharted shots @KALofKRYPTON. No. 8 in particular is very nice!

Cute Iconoclasts and brilliant Nier Automata shots @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy! How do you get rid of the HUD in Nier?

Thanks @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy. Yep, that's one of the Pikmin stages. Part of it is on a muddy slope so when there's a deluge of rain - which occurs every few minutes - the fighters need to be careful not to slide into the mouth of a hungry bulborb waiting at the bottom!

Thanks @mookysam! NieR: Automata has a dynamic HUD so it automatically goes off after a while.

But seeing as 2b is an android she has a processor chip (or whatever) and you can actually take HUD elements off her as well if you want (or more importantly add various upgrades to her as you expand her memory)

And I thought it was... Never played any Pikmin games but I think that stage is in Super Smash Bros Brawl too?

I'm not the best with all that cpu, gpu talk but I got the gist of it and that really is quite an impressive fest of engineering with Killzone Mercenaries @KALofKRYPTON!

Is there an easier way of getting my PS4 photos in full resolution or is it just simpler to scrounge up a USB stick from somewhere?

@nessisonett as far as i'm aware sharing to twitter from the PS4 puts them at full res but using a USB is probably the best option

Thanks @mookysam
Uncharted 4 ones will be incoming soon enough!

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy
I'm sure I'll get around to Nier someday. It does look quite nice!

@nessisonett I'm not too sure. I was using USB to grab mine most of the time until the photo contest. Then I started posting them to the activities section and grabbing them via the PS App.

@FullbringIchigo @KALofKRYPTON Cheers, I’m sure there’ll be a USB somewhere in the house. They seem to just turn up.

@nessisonett You won't get full resolution as the PS4 will downgrade it when you take a photo. You can make the image quality a bit better by changing the format to PNG.

From the main page of your PS4, scroll on over and select Settings

Next scroll down and select Sharing and Broadcasts from the settings menu

Once you are in the Sharing and Broadcasts menu, select Screenshot Settings

Now select Image Format

And switch your Image format from JPEG to PNG

@nessisonett I also posted this awhile back but you might have missed it.

So I've just found out a way of how to upload photos on your ps4 to a device (like a phone or tablet) if you don't have a Twitter account and so you don't have spam your mates on PSN.

1. Go to the photo and click the Share button.
2. Choose the 'Activities' option.
3. You can then select the privacy options (I selected 'Friends'), any players you want to tag in and a comment for the photo.
4. Click on 'Post'. This will then appear to in your 'What's New' tab on your PS4.
5. Open up the PS App on the device you want to save it to.
6. Double tap on the photo, and click on the three dots in the top right hand corner to save the photo.

There is a bit of a delay in the the photo appearing on the wall, but if you refresh the screen after a minute or two they should appear.

@JohnnyShoulder Ooh brilliant, nice tips! I should be able to post some of my Star Wars photos soon in that case!

Some pre-Uncharted 4, unplanned Sonic Forces purchase pictures!

Not a bad game really.

Turns out I do not understand Twitter. Next time, I’ll get it.

Right, time to get this bloody thing working.

Brilliant, this has been a bigger headache than I imagined lol.

Cal really doesn't take good selfies

After 203 hours I have finally finished AC Odyssey and it's DLC. So here some shots to commemorate the occasion.
