Beautiful Game Appreciation

[Kaamos_Llama]

I should give Death Stranding another shake, looks great and I didnt really fall off for any reason.

Might have posted some Control pics here before but heres some newer ones with RT. Its the art design as well that really makes it shine still with a Ray Traced cherry on top. I just click on screenies as I go through so havent hidden the HUD, soz.

Control … with RT

I assume it's my ancient 1060 + TV which makes all these look blurry and/or foggy with lens flare?

Death Stranding

That's the mail order bride you haul around! You're pretty far along!

ART, Brian! That's... wait a sec, you shouldn't get lens flair with a foggy light source! BUG!!!

Didnt see the notification. Theres a lot of fog and particle effects in Control, and also a fair amount of overlaying live video as you enter certain areas and receive message on the hotline. Some of the blurriness might be DLSS, it does that a bit it seems.

Dont know much about composition, filters or anything to do with photography, I just really like the level art design in Control so I was trying to show that off, rather than my own non existent photographic flair. I didnt even register any lens flare, I just ALT Zd all these as I was playing through the game when |I| saw something I liked.

I didn't enable RT when I played this a few years ago, as I always favor FPS. But damn, these shots look way better than what I remember seeing! I'm looking forward to a replay with RT now that I've upgraded my rig. Thanks for sharing.

Robocop: Rogue City in 32:9. Looking forward to more Unreal 5 and Lumen.

The reflections and shadow detail are exemplary.

I did the same, my old card was a Radeon 5700XT, performed pretty well without RT and looked great but wanted to go through it again with all the bells and whistles.

Robocop looks awesome, lumen does look great there.

The blood moon in Nightingale is beautiful and dangerous. It never becomes day, you are at half health and continuously losing health due to the temperature.

There's a paintjob in X4 that can only be accessed via mods. It's a bit weird in that it reflects the color of the sector of space that you're in. Except that isn't the actual predominant color - it's the color that works best for development... or something. OK, I don't know what the frak it is, but the end result is that I never quite know what my ship will look like when I take it to a new sector. I love it!

Here's a sample of a few of them in a short video:

ELEX 2

Yep, that's ELEX graphics!

Alien Sunrise (the sun rises in the SSW on this world)

Efficiency is mandatory! (Actually, after this scene, I don't think it was ever mentioned again.)

Berserker's globe in the fort.

Is that Duke Nuke'm??

Hah, didnt know ELEX had a Duke Nukem easter egg, that's awesome

More from ELEX 2

A pretty sight, even if one of the branches behind Caja is floating in the air.

The game does great sunsets!

Light House

My son... who looks weird.

Nasty strutting

You aliens better geet off'a my lawn!

Light House

Looks pretty heavy to me, but okay…

My son... who looks weird

Nonsense, he looks just like you.
Oh! I see what you mean…

Nasty strutting

Is that a typo, did you mean 'Tasty'?

You aliens better geet off'a my lawn!

Shush, he's listening to the download.

Her name is, in fact, Nasty. She was in ELEX 1, also, and she is pretty nasty. In 2, her companion quest is to go around to all the faction leaders and try to open up some diplomatic channels - but she just insults all of them.

The sunglasses really make him seem like the true hero of this environment.

A few more from ELEX 2

106 miles to the Berserker fort, I got half a dozen healing potions, it's dark, and I'm wearing sunglasses.

The sun sets in the NE in ELEX (both games).

The sun sets on ELEX 2 - and Prianna Bytes

Horizon: Forbidden West is a screenshot machine. This scene had so many possible shots that I just used the Steam recording instead of trying to take a bunch and pick out the best.

Old game old card, still loving the sheer joy of driving at insane speeds in GTAV

 

[Zloth]

Horizon: Forbidden West (I finally stopped playing long enough to get some screenshots together)

Considering how she climbed all over this cave, I think her name must be Aloy Croft.

This world is BIG.

VERY BIG! Not only can you get to that mountain in the far distance a little to Aloy's right, but I also don't think you can quite see the west coastline from them. And I'm taking this shot after travelling almost halfway to the coast!

Cauldrons are back!

H:FW

This one is similar to a shot I posted elsewhere, but I used the underexposed option

The people of this time have no clue what suntan lotion is. "Burning Shores" indeed!
