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

The trophy photos for this Olympics game are absolutely horrifying 😂

@nessisonett Man, Sonic being in this game makes it so much better. More imporantly, the fact that it's actually a person dressed as Sonic 😂

@nessisonett The internet's gonna have a field day with that game (if they aren't already).

Time to finally post some Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart pics!

@Thrillho I was wondering when we'd see these!

Superb work, and a beautiful showcase of the game and its Photo Mode! The first, fourth and fifth are my favourites, particularly the way you've captured that ray-traced reflection in Ratchet's helmet there. My word, the detail is phenomenal. It really is a playable Pixar movie!

@RogerRoger Yeah, I really like that shot too but it took a while to find a spot where it was clear what was being reflected. Maybe a bit too much on the old vignette too but I wanted the focus to be all on the visor.

I was kind of disappointed with the frames the game had though as so many of them were next to useless. Some of the filters were fun and I seem to have forgotten to upload the one I used a really heavy filter on. Playing with poses could be cool too so overall it is a decent photo mode.

@Thrillho Glad to hear. I think Miles Morales ended up having a few too many frames, given it carried forward the legacy from the previous game and then added its own. Insomniac often go back and add new frames and filters to their Photo Modes, so maybe they'll tweak 'em in the coming months!

And no, I'd say that's the perfect amount of vignette on the helmet shot! Really makes it pop!

Here's the other one with heavy filtering and other tinkering.

@Thrillho [chef's kiss]

Time to kersplat everyone's connection with my final selections from across my 105 hour playthrough of AC Odyssey!

And a couple silly ones for good measure!

@nessisonett The last one 😁

Great shots of the boats in particular though. They’re always impressive looking games if nothing else.

@Thrillho It’s an insanely beautiful game. Perhaps a tad one-note, especially in terms of weather but then it’s Greece so I wasn’t expecting snow storms!

@nessisonett Think they would quite like a snow storm right about now!

@JohnnyShoulder Oof yeah, my best mate’s from Cyprus so she’s been worried about her family in Greece. Proper apocalyptic scenes.

@nessisonett Yeah really horrific scenes. Hopefully her family are OK.

@nessisonett nice shots. It's the one game I don't delete to make room for others on my ps5. I can always jump in head to someplace new or just admire the scenery.

@nessisonett Some absolutely stunning (and hilarious at the end there) Odyssey shots! Thanks for sharing, and I hope your friend's family are okay.

@Elodin @RogerRoger Thanks a lot! I’ll probably dump a whole load of Mafia shots in a couple of days once I finish too. I take a lot of photos in-game but don’t often actually go through the effort of sorting through them 😂

@nessisonett beautiful game… there was just something about Odyssey that I really connected with. It’s nowhere near perfect but island-hopping around the Aegean was so much fun.
