I really must know everything you're running to make it look like this. I haven't played Skyrim in a while and did a clean install in anticipation of re-modding it.

I'm using a shit ton of mods, some including armor additions for NPC, etc. I've never played Skyrim so I don't know if this Blue Stripe warrior armor is the vanilla one.

That said, the main graphical changer here is the ENB settings from someone here on GAF in the Skyrim mod thread. His screenshots was what inspired me to start playing on PC and if you push "shift-F12", you can do a compare between ENB vs. non and it is mindblowing how much BETTER the game looks. I am constantly pausing and snapping screenshots because of how gorgeous the ENB settings make Skyrim look.

I'll find the ENB files/settings and report back here.

Also, I've got a 6970 w/ a Q9550 OC'ed to 3.8. Sure, it's not running 60 (except indoors), but I never dip below 30 either. Ever. And that's with everything maxed and 2x AA.

Well that was easy. Here's the ENB mod I'm using.

It looks amazing, although the contrast is a little too high in the day so if my camera is facing the sun, it's almost impossible to see someone's face as it's almost pitch black.

I didn't know there's a new version out so I guess I will update tonight. Sweet!

It's insane how well Crysis holds up, without any modifications whatsoever, almost 5 years later.

It may not look the best anymore (still looks damn good), but I still have to say Crysis looks the most "realistic" to me concerning shader use and overall color palette. They did a fantastic job on art direction.

When comparing the Crysis 1 shots to the Crysis 2 shots, the first game looks so much better.

So much more clean looking Image quality. The second game is just a mess of blur. That character model is also terrible looking

Very nice last shot there for GTAIV.

What's the best ENB mod out there for GTAIV?

Where is it, how do I install? Can I install if I have the Steam version of GTAIV?

Thanks.

Best is subjective, I'd say Icenhancer 1.35. 2.0n has a lot of problems and require a lot of fiddling to become somewhat decent. I'm using Icenhancer 2.0n with old files, different sprites, some custom tweaking etc. His 2.1 version should be releasing any day however, it's done but he just gotta milk all his attention as usual on Facebook.

Everything's on google, simple drag and override installation. Steam version is patch 1.0.7.0, to get full effect of ENB you need 1.0.4.0, so you need to find the Steam Downgrade guide ( Again, google ) or buy the retail version and patch to 1.0.4.0.

You should post pics of c1 korean models up close. They actually look similar.

I've been meaning to do this as well. Steam version seems to always be a hassle. I hope someone answers this, I remember a guide used to exist but Couldn't find it.

Hmm, do I need to do something special to be able to link from minus.com?

Can't get these links to work for some reason...

Here you go bud. What you need to do is put the URL that links directly to the image, and put it inbetween the img tags, they look like this, [ img][ /img] But without the space after the square parentheses.

A little downsampling and some SMAA help clear it up.

Scitek, those are the best screens I've seen of Crysis 2. Please post more. I adore the game but have only played the PS3 version. I see you're using the weapon position mod, what others do you have on?

 

[JoeFenix]

Am I the only one here that actualy loves motion blur? This shot is definitely blur overkill though!

Those are with Maldo's mod v3 maxed minus particle shadows, C-mod, and downsampled from 1440p with all in-game AA off and injected SMAA.

EDIT: Also, brofist for sticking up for the game despite the annoying trolls claiming it's so shit it's unplayable on PS3.

Completely disagree.

Crysis' outdoor lighting, or most likely Crytek's vanilla TOD settings, has aged in my opinion. The game is gorgeous at times, but too often I look at jungle shots and everything looks grossly flat lit. I know it's not, but the greens look too bright and uniformed, especially on grass.

Crysis 2 DX11's lighting looks a lot nicer to me.
