That's another thing, Tekken 7 lacks a genuine photo mode so you're forced to take screens in customization mode or in training mode and to disable health bar and attack info. And the VR mode is trash, so glad I don't own it, it looks almost as uncanny as DOAX3's...

Well, developers usually only put photomodes in games that look good.
Plus I think they believed that the one in customization mode was passable as long as you disabled hud and everything off the screen. But they only offer 3-4 animations to use which is disappointing and you can't pause or move the camera around so pics can get limited. I found another way you can take up close pics tho, in training mode turn on mimic mode with two of the same characters and everytime they hit each other with the same move the screen will pan in as if they did a powerful attack, I did it for lili and jin earlier

Also which reminds me I think I've almost unlocked everything, I've been piecing together full costume sets so that when the time comes my video will be ready day one. So far I have all of Kazumi and lilis outfits and I just need to unlock the others but the chests seem intent on making clothes hard to acquire

Don't you think that Nintendo's Arms looks visually very impressive for a Switch game?


Especially the characters seem to be modelled and textured really well.

The visual design comes close to Street Fighter V's, but Arms looks actually more polished in detail (at least more than SFV on PS4) and that in a full 3D environment. This game also runs in 60fps and 1080p resolution.

Okay so I've just used flickr for these images so hopefully the quality of them is better than the previous ones! :) I have like 29 pictures so I can't post them all, I'm gonna post as much as I can though within reason.

So cool that you can actually find a playstation game of crash bandicoot. :eek:

Here's the brochure I saw at the end of the game that seems to hint at the latest one.

*many gorgeous but stamp sized pics*

These are great! O: I bet you'd be a great real life photographer.

Just one thing... XD You didn't post them in their original size, thus they were compressed to low resolution JPGs again.
While you have the image that you want to share open on your Photostream, go to the 5 little white icons to the right of the image, select share photo, go to the BBCode tab and change in this tab the size to Original 1920x1080, then copy-paste the url displayed above in your post. It'll look like this:

Edit: Damn, I can't display the url without the image showing up instead. D:

Optionally crop these parts of the url:

Edit: Damn, I can't display the url without the image showing up instead here either. D:

And there's your image in full size and quality:

Here's some pics I took of the characters I use when they get wet, I think the art effect was well done

Okay lol sorry Tyaren I couldn't figure out how to make the images bigger, Oh well I still think they look good anyway. Just took some pictures around the house in uncharted 4.

I recently started playing The Witcher 3 again. :) And while I have to admit, that I was a bit taken aback by its in comparison to Horizon Zero Dawn now outdated technical aspects, especially what polygon geometry, textures and image quality is concerned, I still think that its amazing world design holds up really well compared to HZD. Here I made an attempt to compare a few similar settings in both games. I actually was trying to be fair and let both games look as good as possible:

Great pics everybody. I love the comparison between Witcher and HZD, the way you frame them makes it look like they sorta could be in a shared world.

I miss Geralt. :-(

Hey, why don't you give him another try then? :) I've just started playing The Witcher 3 again. I haven't played the game for over a year and I actually have forgotten a lot of it already. I also already stumbled over a couple of quests, that I didn't do before. Feels pretty new all over again. And I am someone who normally doesn't replay games, or reread books or rewatch films, because the novelty of them is just gone. The Witcher 3 is such a huge game though, that there is bound to be stuff, that you forgot, that you missed before or where you can choose a different path than before.

I should, but after Nioh I got very into Bloodborne (stopped playing HZD even...((I'll get back to it though)).
Bloodborne has an amazing art direction and atmosphere, I really have to post some pics soon.

Oh, you definitely have to! The Soulsborne games indeed have amazing art direction. I'd totally play them, if they weren't so frustratingly hard and I hate to play frustrating games.

On a completely different note:
A new Dragon Ball fighter has been announced. Now, that is nothing out of the ordinary (and I myself don't care for Dragon Ball at all)...but If you know who is developing it, even I pay attention. :)
It is Arc System, the developer of Guilty Gear Xrd and they are apparently going to use the same graphics engine and 2.5D style that they also used for Guilty GearXrd, which is imo the most accomplished attempt to bring 2D art into 3D so far.

(Yep, this is real time 3D graphics, not an anime.)

This time there is also no old consoles holding the graphics back and what little we already see of the visuals is very promising:

Here the preview screens on their own:

Hardly distinguishable from the actual anime. :D

@Jadeinchains today to me:

Z8hbhna.gif


Yes, it is! :D E3 has finally come upon us! So be excited for lots of new and not so new gorgeous looking games in here. It would be cool if I wasn't the only one posting new stuff in here though, lol. Next week I am off to Vienna and I have to count on you guys to keep me entertained in here. I'll check my phone regularly. (Is it hypocritical of me to ask for not too many huge gifs and images? XD)

Until the real big news arrives, here's cool new gameplay footage of both the PS4 and 3DS version of Dragon Quest XI, right next to each other:


The PS4 version looks very pretty and polished...though a little bit empty and sterile too, doesn't it?

I don't think I'll be able to watch it since I'm gonna be busy with a video project and I don't have anyone around who's gonna watch it to discuss it with/tell me what's shown that id like so can you tell me if anything noteworthy is shown? I would appreciate that

Also which character from Tekken would you rather I share the video thing about? I'm doing all characters but I can provide a video or two for the characters you were most interested in

Lol yeah I'm more than a little excited for it! XD EA's is first so that will probably be pretty bland but after that we'll be getting into the real big news with Microsoft, Sony's and Nintendo's conferences. ( Or nintendo's direct to be more accurate )

And yeah for the really big reveals that are appropriate for this thread If your gone I'll try to make sure they get trailers etc posted in here! :)

And lol at the no huge gifs thing. Never thought I'd see the day you'd say that. :p

Your butt shot compilation video of Tekken 7 characters isn't more important than E3!!! DDD:
I don't know, how about you concentrate on Bob? XD
