I don't mind 2.35:1, but I hate letterboxing in screenshots. That's going to get old fast.
Is it fun though?

Holly crap thank you pc gaming.
Here's the commands you can use. Some nice stuff for screenshots. http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1508646-debug-console-commands/

NONE of the promotional screenshots I've seen for Evil Within look as good as the few screens that've just been posted (especially textures). They must've been posting console screens. Makes me hopeful that it'll look decent on a PC. I'm also glad I have a 21:9 monitor since they seem to have framed it specifically for that aspect ratio.

There are issues with 21:9 monitors and this game. When you play at that aspect ratio the game adds black bars to either side of the screen, including the ones at top and bottom.

How are there issues with letterboxing when you can just... disable them?
I dunno about that. This one is pretty good.
To be fair to XIV, they have loads more art assets to worry about than FFXIII. Between the various races, their sub-races, and both sexes they have a fuckload of stuff to model and render compared to FFXIII, so some cut corners are to be expected.
That being said, I am hoping for an improved skin shader with the DX11 patch. And maybe an optional high-res texture pack... maybe... yeah, nah, wishful thinking on my part.
Thanks! Have a couple more:

I wasn't disparaging any of the screens posted in here. These all look great. The crappy ones I was referring to were Bethesda promotional shots (although if the one you posted was from Bethesda I hadn't seen it before).
I really hope this game turns out to be fun because RE4 is in my top five favorite games of all time. I'm gonna wait a few months until everyone in here has figured out how to completely de-consolize this game. I'm always amazed at the graphical tweaks gamers are able to pull off post release.
At this point signs say that there will be no high res texture pack, despite rumbles before ARR's launch that such a thing would come to pass.
As for what's in the DX11 patch... nobody knows, not even the developers. They're apparently now investigating 'new expressions' that will be possible with DX11, which sounds promising, but who knows what they're actually going to decide is worth their time?

You can't disable them. The game just crops the picture and zooms it in.

That's the standard reply from people with a TEW avatar it seems, yes.
But your comment summarizes the situation pretty well.

"Crytek" are masters at creating great looking foliage!
These are very good R8TEDM3. Its with SS2x?
I took those at 4096x2160, SS2x2, Temporal AA is off (looks cleaner imo) blur is also off, textures at very high, and everything else is maxed out!

What kind of SLi profile are you using for that?

it' rendering an anamorphic 2.35:1 framebuffer into a 16x9 resolution. there's no way to get rid of the letterboxing without cropping the image because the game isn't simply placing black bars over what would otherwise be a full 16x9 presentation, it's only rendering the wider image. in other words there's nothing hidden under the letterboxing. it's no different than playing a modern 16x9 game on an old 4:3 CRT monitor. you either get the full widescreen image in letterbox or it gets cropped.
First i tried this one 0x000040F5, but i had some bad glitches on my system, and then i found out that this SLI bit is way better 0x080010F5 (Sleeping Dogs)
GPU usage on cards is far from perfect, about (75-85 %) but it's much better than the Crysis profile!

Hey bud, you can't post Steam hosted screenshots here. When hosting, Steam adds an additional layer of JPEG compression on top.
Either upload the original PNG's to Sta.sh or Flickr, or instead use Photoshop or FastStone (faststone is free!) to convert them to high quality JPEGs.
12 quality for Photoshop, 98 quality for Faststone. Instructions are at the bottom of this post.
I'll check them out. I am using Rudy ENB and was going to tinker with the enbeffect.fx, so not sure how well they play with it.
The art direction was always the strongest part of FF13. Every single area has tons of unique assets, and everything fits very well together. Of course, we all know the sacrifices that had to be made to achieve that.I'm not into playing games like Final Fantasy, but these FF13 screenshots are on par with the most beautiful posts I've ever seen in this thread. Incredible art style, art design, and art direction... I'll be archiving many of them, so thank you all so much for sharing!
That's why it's almost criminal in my opinion that they released a version of the game on PC that wouldn't allow anyone to fully enjoy its visual splendor out of the box.
