this legitimately looks like and has the feel of those renders they printed on gpu boxes circa 2003.
A long while. There is also a desert locale and they're about to add a forest one.
But Snow was added pretty early, did you only play the early beta?
It's with the widescreen mod. Resolution is 1664x936 since that's the best tradeoff between size of game elements and graphical quality on my screen.Is that vanilla or with a resolution mod?

some amazing details up there, i'd love to grab some good screens to post here but FRAPS makes everything blurry. What are you guys using?
Fraps doesn't make anything blurry as long as you're capturing as a PNG file.
That's either your game or some other thing going wrong. Fraps definitely isn't at fault if it's set to PNG.
Edit: Here's an example of a shot taken with Fraps.

Definitely no blur.
then I'm lost here. Here's a screen from AC4 I just took, I swear Blackbeard's face looks way sharper on my monitor
or maybe I'm expecting too much?

What size is your monitor?
That's a really small screenshot. But looking at it, that seems totally perfectly normal in terms of sharpness of a screenshot.
Most of the shots in this thread are using absurd amounts of downsampling which add's a lot of detail and is likely why you feel your screenshots aren't as comparable.
For example, the screenshot I embedded in my previous post was rendered at 4k and downsampled to 1080p, which is fairly common for this thread.
22", 1680x1050 max res. I would love to bet a bigger one but don't have enough space
thanks for the nice explanation about downsampling and 4k, at least now I know why i cant compete, hehe
If your GPU is capable, you could probably try rendering at 2520x1620 which is 1.5x your resolution.
As long as you already have some AA on it (Injecting SMAA is a good option) then the downsampling should be great for clearing up any left over aliasing that's in it and you can have some fairly sharp 1680x1050 screenshots to share in the thread.

Dat DOF is just.. wow.
Please share it!!
Why would someone not share their settings and tweaks?
Might you have some sharpness on your monitor settings? Or maybe it's in a " cinematic" mode?
Also, objects in motion don't always look the same when you can focus on them as stills.
Does anyone know if fraps captures txaa?
Being unique and exclusive. I can totally understand that.

Oh and and someone rip me that goddamn beautiful DOF and put that in a prepass file kthxbye
That looks fantastic -- what mods & ENB are you using for that?
Why would someone not share their settings and tweaks?
Isn't he the guy working on a custom ENB/lighting mod by his lonesome that he will release when he finally finishes it? It's not a case of someone selfishly hoarding their custom settings, it is a modder trying to get things just right before he releases it to the public.
And if he were not releasing it, well, it is his work for his own enjoyment. You can call it selfish all you want but he put the effort into it and if he doesn't want to release it that is his right.

Brerlappin said:I get the appeal of having unique screenshots, or being the first person to post a particular game, or to find a camera hack for a game that people havent found yet etc...but never sharing your settings does just seem a bit dickish. Ive gotten a few PMs about my skyrim settings and ive replied to all of them
