I wonder if there are a few post-processing effects which do not show up in Fraps screenshots in Ethan Carter. I do feel like it looks a bit better and/or sharper in motion than in screenshots, somehow, though perhaps it is my imagination. I actually do not remember there being ANY moire-ish texture effects in the distance, which is great.

At any rate I can understand that some might not like the soft visual style, but I personally felt it was cohesive and well done. The textures tend to be particularly enjoyable.

Here are two quick shots from my playthrough. I will dig through the rest of my screenshots another time to see if I have anything worth posting.

*edit* Updated to remove black bars, sorry!

I only spent a few minutes sprinting around marveling at the visuals. I will sink my teeth into it tomorrow. The textures are SO GOOD!

But does it require 6GB of VRAM ?

Textures do look insanely good though. I think the first commercial game i've seen with vanilla textures near MalDo quality (C2)

Whats a good site for uploading hi res pics?

Try looking at the OP.

 

[UnrealEck]

If you want 4K screens, try windowed fullscreen and use printscreen and paint. Or some sort of desktop capture printscreen program.

 

[jim2point0]

I'm using MSI afterburner to capture screenshots. That's working for me so long as the game is in windowed mode.

Is there any SLI support with The Vanishing of Ethan Carter?

 

[Ray Wonder]

I'm grabbing The Vanishing of Ethan Carter tonight. I've never even heard of it before coming in this thread. Looks incredible.

I can't see any info on this but if you have a fairly high end card it runs well enough to go into 4K territory anyway.

OR you could use the in-game screenshot function. UE3 remember? That is if you're not messing with shaders. Not that there's a need (beyond maybe some injected SMAA).

One nice panorama that i made today Large Thumbnail full image on flickr.

It's generally not a good idea to post 34MB images in a screenshot thread...

Not to mention that it could be a great deal smaller if it were a JPG.

I didn't try it, but figured all the commands were diabled (nothing has worked for me thus far). Maybe I'll give that a shot (hah)

 

[CyberPunked]

Honestly I think screenshots of Ethan Carter can only hurt it. Looks mind-boggling in motion. And the 980 is maintaining 40-50 FPS at 5120x2880 =)

I couldn't resist this one though:

This game looks better than the best modded Skyrim screenshots I've seen (sorry Unreal )

Changed to clickable thumbnail but as far as i know PNG is preferred format in this thread

 

[jim2point0]

It's actually not when high quality JPGs are indistinguishable from PNGs. I've never had a single complaint about my JPGs. Hell, ALO81 would argue that I should save my JPGs at 98% quality in FastStone instead of 100%.

Balls. New page. Here's another JPG from Ethan Carter.

Such trees. Many atmosphere.

1 last shot from me to show off these lovely textures:

Given the nature of this game, everyone is going to see pretty much the same thing. So unless I can wrangle a particularly unique shot out of it, I'm going to stop taking screenshots and just enjoy it

Screenshots really don't do the game justice.

Agreed.

 

[Xyber]

Screenshots really don't do the game justice. Looks so great in motion. I was trying to make a little webm of a nice looking part, but as soon as I started recording the game would just stutter whenever I turned the camera. =/

Currently don't have GF Experience installed due to some new bug that gives me some error when I launch certain games, so don't know if shadowplay would do the trick here.

I don't understand. How can this game look this good, and have such good performance. Like it looks better than Skyrim does with all those mods, and the framerate is 10x better.

 

[Phreakuency]

Doesn't work in fullscreen?

Also: Is the game DX9?

Gorgeous.

But yeah, JPGs, as long as they are Level 12 photoshop or 98-100% in faststone. You are set.

Many indeed. I need that graphics in my lizard veins.

Through the power of Epic's Unreal Engine™ 3

Spoiler

but seriously, props to the astronauts for making it look this good

 

[Jedi2016]

Yeah, my FRAPS is definitely getting a screenshot workout with VoEC. Best-looking game I've played in years, and 1080p/60 all the way. And I'm only like thirty minutes into the game.. lol. Can't wait to get further in.

I am correct in that it doesn't have a built-in screenshot tool, right? Pity for a game that looks like this, but that's what stuff like FRAPS is for.

 

[jim2point0]

It's DX9, yeah. It was crashing last night in fullscreen. I tried fullscreen and it was fine. The SweetFX screenshot capture crashes too. Really odd, this game.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

I don't understand. How can this game look this good, and have such good performance. Like it looks better than Skyrim does with all those mods, and the framerate is 10x better.

I'm guessing it's not a massive open-world RPG, though, but more contained?

 

[midhras]

Think Dear Esther. You can use F9 to take a screenshot which gets dumped to the usual UE3 documents folder. That's if you're not running shaders of course. AA does get applied with that screenshot function. You can use Flawless Widescreen and SRWE in tandem to run the game at any AR/resolution combo. Please be gentle. And remember kids, it's all too easy to spoil everyone's fun by showing too much. The game deserves a bit of space for people to discover it through gameplay rather than screens.

 

[Bl@de]

It's not a crappy port like 99% of modern games ... and of course the absence of many typical things like AI (esp. pathfinding etc.).

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Ethan Carter looks gorgeous.

That Valve magic at work. Something about their games leaves a really unique fingerprint.

Nah, the world is massive and all interconnected.

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter looks amazing, i'll buy this game just for graphics in future.

 

[Ran Echelon]

It really does look beautiful. I hear it's pretty short though.
