These planetside 2 are just magnificent. Dat motion blur. Please please keep'em coming.

Awww shucks :p

Seriously though, I don't think any other poster's shot of Far Cry 3 makes it look as good as yours do. People had already stated how it looks like Far Cry 2. And then your screens come along and those there are what exactly we thought the game should look like clearly it exceeded my own expectation.

Please keep on posting from your magic rig.

Thank you!

Im playing on DX9, max settings and yes im downsampling and also using SweetFX injector ;)

Cool, I assume you're downsampling from 1440p? Are you using the default SweetFX settings or have you tweaked them a bit? I ask because SweetFX default often adds a bit of sharpness than doesn't look that good depending on the game although the downsampling probably makes it invisible in your shots (assuming it's default SweetFX that you're using).

This game is basically Battlefield's Wet dream.

My only gripe is that I never knew about the first one when I was playing 1942/BF2/BF2142.

Through the IR scope....

That's right. That pillar ALL the way in the background is casting a shadow on the ground in front of me and it's not alliased, even over a mile away.

I tried Planetside 2 as a result of the shots posted here and I have no idea what's going on

I hear you, man. I'm completely lost in this game.

Unfortunately, I think this may be the biggest obstacle to massive adoption of PS2--it has a sharp initial learning curve. You can play as a lone wolf, but the game is best if you join a squad, even if it's full of randoms/people you don't know. A lot of squads will be titled "teamplay only" "mics and teamplay" "play the objective" etc, so it's easy to find a "good" one.

At the very least, read the Planetside OT. There is a decent number of gaffers playing and they have several Outfits (basically, clans) that you can join to find other players in-game. There are pointers in the OT, and Sony has a series of beginner videos (~5 mins each in length) that you can watch.

This game is basically Battlefield's Wet dream.

My only gripe is that I never knew about the first one when I was playing 1942/BF2/BF2142.

Pretty much this. Honestly, didn't even really think this kind of game was possible. I am worried I'm jaded now--haven't played BF3 since getting hooked on PlanetSide. I realize they're two different kind of games, but the scale of PS2 takes a dump on BF3.

Thanks. This game makes me sad we won't ever see Crysis Remastered on PC. I can only imagine how much better it would play with the optimization of CE3.

Indeed, would love to see a Crysis redone but again, they'd probably screw it up and it'd lose the feel of what made it so special.

Beautiful PS2 shots, guys!


The game does a pretty crappy job of letting you know what you're supposed to do as a newbie.
I recommend reading the OT and just lurking in there a little bit.
