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

Ghost of Tsushima looks great. Can't wait to get to it eventually.

I've been playing Trials of Mana (PS4) and it's been a fun time so far. It doesn't have the graphics budget of a FFVII Remake, but it has a clean & vibrant look that works well, is inviting, and in terms of area design & detail doesn't bely it's Super Famicom roots (for example, quite a few areas, such as the town pictured below, have a surprising amount of verticality).

A few (carefully selected) shots from TLOU 2 from my run to the Platinum. Might add more spoilery ones in a few months time.

@BearsEatBeets Nice shots man! I love how expressions on the characters at time!

Quite a few grabs from, GoT. You have been warned!

@JohnnyShoulder Cheers, yeah the way that the character's face truly reflects what is going on in game is a really great touch by ND. Keep the Got pictures coming, you've got some really good shots there. going to throw out a few more of mine as I got a few hours in this morning.

I really like the different styles you can get from messing with the same shot

@BearsEatBeets Nice man, really like the last two shots and how you have captured the light. Yeah the amount of options available is quite exhaustive and it is surprising how a subtle tweak here and there can make significant difference.

Nice Ghost & tLoU shots!

First up some more Trials of Mana shots.

Although it has linear paths, it does a pretty good job winding them through 3D space, as you end up crossing the shallows/islands you see below in the lake.

Meeting the king.

Yes, please.

The performance is on.

Next up some shots from PSVR dating sim Focus on You, which I played some time ago.

There's a typo in the second line, where it says "Whoel" instead of "Whole", lol.

Fanservice meets VR tech.

I don't need to say what game these are from, do I?

Had to quickly get this one before the bird flew away, so couldn't get Jin to strike a pose.

Mucked around with the focus on the above shot. Not too sure on the results.

@RogerRoger I struggled to choose 4 for the recent GoT Push Square thing, think my head might explode trying to choose some more from a wider selection!

@JohnnyShoulder @RogerRoger At this point I'm wondering if we should just call it the Ghost of Tsushima contest this year.
Also, love the new avatar @RogerRoger.

@RogerRoger The cheque is in the post!

Not as many this time!

I tried to get a lightning strike with the above shot, my reactions were too slow. I've even tried adjusting the time by that didn't work either.

Today's screenshots are sponsored by the colour Red!

The following two screenshots I added in what is called 'Particles' which can vary from birds to leaves. The first one had butterflies, the second one has fireflies. You can also alter the intensity, which puts more of whatever particle on the screen. At 100% it is pretty wild, and in hindsight I should of wacked this up more to show this off.

@RogerRoger Thanks buddy! Yeah it's useful if something like that is in the way.

For the below shots the first one is untouched, the secpnd one is particle effects at 100% and the third one is something like 5%. Think I like the last one the best.

@RogerRoger I think AC Origns is when I first caught the bug, but i did not take as many. You can also turn the animations on or off, mainly as things can get a bit blurry if left on, but also as you say to get them out the way if they are obstructing anything. Thanks, much appreciated!

This one below is from a cut scene, but the sun setting was in such a good position I couldn't resist taking a snap!

I've finally reached Act 2. A few shots to commemorate.

@RogerRoger Thanks!

@BearsEatBeets Wow, some really nice shots there! I espcially like the fox one. I'm gonna be sad when I have no more to find.

@RogerRoger @JohnnyShoulder Cheers guys. Those first two are from the same photo mode pause and I took four or five shots more with different angles/lighting/filters. I find I do that a lot, the ability to change the time of day is probably one of the best features and puts it up there with Horizon which did the same.
@JohnnyShoulder yeah it would be cool if you just had foxes follow you now and then if they had nothing left to lead you to. The birds are less helpful as I find they normally just pop in and take me to exactly where I was heading.

A few more of mine from over the weekend.

Only a few more from the last couple of days. Finally got my lightning shot! I've been trying for ages, and there is a bit of a knack to get it to show.

Man, GoT continues to look great!

Anyhow, here's more Trials of Mana on my end.

Some inviting scenery.

She looks fierce...

...but we're ready for anything.

Now what are you doing way up there!?
