Wow that's pretty in depth there and with a lot of hard to spot things as well, that does seem interesting if they decide to go for a story of Kratos going through the layers of the tree.

Norse mythology and the different levels of Yggdrasil are practically taylored to be made into a video game with different levels/chapters. :)

A screen of the demo that I found haunting:

Scary that even a giant can fall prey to whoever did this... D:

Rare selfie of me and DarkTruth/Becky. XD We met up at the beach today, excuse the rip:oops:

I love the whole Visual Novel type format, it even lets you remove the text box for screenshots. If it's fine, I may upload a few field battle screens tonight, I'm trying to do over missions on harder difficulties, and it's going surprisingly smooth. All you have to do is save up scrolls with Ryona, and then unleash that level 3 Rebellion Concerto Ninpo so she wipes out the grunts with an ice piggy!:)

Can you upload a picture in full resolution? Would like to take a closer look at modelling, texturing and image quality.

Here's Kratos' impressive in-game model for the new GoW:

By the way, it has now been confirmed, and you can see this clearly on Kratos' scars and burn marks, that he indeed is the original Kratos. Just some years older, ancient Greece left behind.

...That Kratos model is really nicely detailed, almost looks real! And I'll try if I can, there are a couple of scenes in the story mode where the camera is aimed closer at the girl's faces and upper bodies. Oh, and I can get even closer in the dressing room, anyone in particular you wouldn't mind seeing more closely?(Please don't say Daidouji... <_>)

Anyone is fine... What's the problem with Daidouji? XD

I just don't like her...she's completely the opposite of Yomi and Ryona, no femininity and she's not at all ladylike, I never really liked tomboys in videogames. Her only redeeming factor is that she has a cute voice(She uses a deeper more masculine speaking and attacking voice, but it's not as cute as Miyabi) and her wild hair is a mess, but nothing else suits her. :-( No wonder she was added as a free addition in NA and as DLC in Japan, she's more of a western character. It's also worth noting that yumi is the most popular, and I absolutely love her.

I made an attempt to get a good pic, unfortunately this is one of the games that puts the watermark on vids and screenshots even when using the share button

Face textures are very crisp and clean in this game

And the outfits are pretty well made considering they can all be put on any character. I'm sure a lot of characters share the same body model but some are different

Aw, you beat me to it XD. But yeah, basically what chap posted is what you'll see. If it's fine with him, I'll probably share a few more, but mostly because I just really love the game.♡ I'm still sad the story is finished though...

Sorry for Double posting, but here are three more Ryona themed ones to kind of extend chaps points:

The transformation effects are enchanting...

Er, as you can see they put quite a bit of detail in the girls bodies, and yes, they do have jiggle physics, but also in the butt area too which is subtle. I'd zoom in closer but Ryona makes some creepy dialogue if you stare at her face too close and I don't wanna be seen as an ultra pervert <_>

Curious why your screenshots are so small
Small? Idk why honestly, I changed the settings a few days ago so they would come out clearer and I thought that they were the same size as yours.:confused: Then again I made a sub twitter account so I can upload them freely, maybe that's a factor?
Yep. XD

Chapstick's Ayane shots were insightful though. I agree that it looks like a PS4 remaster of a PS3 game. The character models are however nicely modelled and textured. :)
By the way, isn't there a PS4 Idolmaster game? @KasumiLover69 might probably love this:

Oh, Idolmaster! Grunt showed me that a while back, the graphics are good and cutesy, but it's...missing something that SK has, something about the faces just doesn't get my attention, and plus...there's no Iori. :-(

Click on one of mine lol

The twitter thing is probably the reason, I use a USB and upload to imgur

I think he's uploading them to Twitter, takes the smallest size they are displayed in there and uploads the images again on the Freestepdodge server. XD I already explained to him he shouldn't do this. *sigh*

@KasumiLover69, if they are already uploaded to Twitter (which you shouldn't because Twitter compresses images and that means loss of quality) take the Twitter image address and add ":_orig" (without the blank space.) at the end/behind the "jpg" and you get them in original size.
