Screenshot thread

[ghostdog]

Well, the screenshots made me quiver.

 

[pippin]

Yeah the screens look like if Prosper made anime in the late 80s, I love it.

 

[DraQ]

quiver

Spoiler

Never knew Prosper did sprites.

Sunlust and Sunder

 

[Unkillable Cat]

I just tried Sunlust with the Aeons of Death mod.

This. Will. Be. Insane. :D

 

[Cholo]

Have been binging on combat mission again, this time with paratroopers in Italy.

And yes, those are indeed 1536x2048 .pngs taken from a 480p retro ipad game

Don't ask for names, they're all garbage

 

[sser]

Why can't Workshop makes some better games? Goddam. They get kinda close, too, but always somehow manage to screw something up.

 

[A horse of course]

One of the reasons I was looking forward to PoE was the possibility of making a Heroquest/WFBR mod.

Oh well.

Holy shit, the disrepancy between the graphics and the font. Someone failed their retro art school degree.

This.

Also, the fuck is this shit? It's certainly not 480p. It's at most 160px horizontal so 240p tops. With only 120p actual game screen.
Even my C64 ran at honest 320x200.
Who the fuck does "retro" graphics like that? Who let all this riff raff into the room?

[octavius]

Get those hipsters up against the wall.

 

[Great Deceiver]

That one's a Phil Fish!
And that one's a Blow!
Who let all of this riff-raff into the room?
There's one getting triggered,
And another beta crying lots
If I had my way
I'd have all of you shot!

Devil May Cry 2 pcsx2 1.3.1-460 (May Revision)

Much less frustrating than the original

Dante is a stylish motherfucker (Diesel outfit is shit though)

I didn't play the Lucia missions because they're not really part of the main plot like the Dante missions are in DMC4. Also couldn't be fugged, I'm just playing 2/3/Donte for "fun", they're not part of my Resident Evil project or anything like that.

Pixelated in-game graphics with ultra-smooth GUI text and icons. Again.

No, that's not how fucking retro is fucking supposed to fucking look.

 

[Snorkack]

Sara Numas? Oh dear.
Does the game contain more of this quality humor?

 

[Unkillable Cat]

I'll admit that in this particular instance it's less noticable.

That said, what has been seen cannot be unseen.

[A horse of course]

Ninja Destroyer aren't the original physical models for Blood still around? Someone should 3d-map them again.

 

[spekkio]

ITT people bitching about graphics in a roguelike...



Pixelated graphics aren't that bad in this game, now the small fucking font - that's a different story.

 

[potatojohn]

It's tough if your game has a lot of text. A choice between aesthetic or improved usability.

Improve resolution. In a top-down game this can be as simple as zooming out.

Or just fucking live with the consequences of your artistic choices.

If people can endure your pixelated visuals (sometimes as low as eye-lacerating 160x100 which is half of what could be reasonably expected even back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth and 64KB RAM was considered perfectly reasonable for running games), they will have no problems with a few extra menus or scrollbars.

Back in the times you consciously seek to emulate (or pretend to *cough* ) it wasn't a *choice*.
