It's been a while since we complained about chromatic aberration!
Something weird is happening with some of the flickr images, they are not caching over here at all. Jim's LotF image caches fine, but those Advanced Warfare images from Stallion aren't. Looking at the urls, there's an extra _d at the end of the filename, removing that makes the images cache just fine. It's like the _d url doesn't have correct mime type or something, since pasting it to url bar will just try to download it instead of displaying it like it would normally. Weird.

Ooo nice catch there. I'll have to remember to always get rid of the "_d" when grabbing URLs from now on. I always wondered why they acted a bit weird.

Well, this came about because of specific issues with this game. (Quite a few issues actually) I figured someone would ask sooner or later. So I just put it there.
SGSSAA does the job just fine. Better than downsampling, but there were quite a few large issues such as the lighting buffer getting messed up and flickering a bunch, and a giant line going through the screen (Look at the middle of the screen for the big white line) and some others like the image being fairly blurry, but the AA fix fixes that. But makes the lighting issues much much worse. So the above combination was made to minimize the issues, which it did. But I also found a proper solution as well after taking these screens.
As well, the game still renders in a 15:9 viewport, so using a 15:9 resolution saves a little performance and allows HBAO+ to work. Which it doesn't if you are using any other AR
(People usually do ask. Heck, I ask a lot of times so yeah)
It's a time suck for sure. I cancelled my sub for a month to play another game and now I can't bring myself to start playing again haha

(^Dafuq is going on with Gabriel's body in that one.)
Also: The Motion blur for what started out as a 3DS game is quite sublime!!
Difference in motion is really smooth. But as you can see, in still shots the motion blur is pretty damn strong!
The really strong bloom and DoF don't help either.
Here's some shots with MB with no AA

Would anyone mind posting some comparisons of the various AA methods in CoD:AW?
(Using 1920x1080 as a base. That way image host sites won't reject your .PNGs and compress them into JPGs)
I know I won't be able to rely on the likes of Eurogamer because they compress the shit out of their images, and then compress them even more somehow with their own comparison tool.
Makes them useless

Damn, that sounds pretty elaborate. I'm guessing the 15:9 viewport is because of it originally being a 3DS game? I hope it's enjoyable enough to be worth all that testing effort
you don't find anything remotely interesting about the lore or setting etc ? I still think the characters are better than a good deal of JRPGs.But hey Lime's pretty hard to please anyway

What's with the odd grainy filter? I don't recall that when playing on Steam...

Just playing around with the free camera I'm working on. Works during cut scenes too

Yeah, once you get everything fixed. It's all fine and dandy.
More so for everyone else interested in the game since i'm the one trying to get the right information out there. That way it's as simple as putting in the right settings as directed for those whom are interested.
Did you miss the part in the Title where is says "GeDoSaTo" ?
Just using the Film Grain Durante and folk put in there.
I think it looks fantastic in stills and in motion. Far better than most of the film grain you see in retail games. (Though when I took those shots, was on a bit strong. Adjusted it afterwards to be a bit lighter)

And? I use that for Dark Souls II but that doesn't mean a grain filter is a given. I can't imagine why you'd add those to Castlevania shots, but I guess YMMV.Did you miss the part in the Title where is says "GeDoSaTo" ?

Anyone staying updated with GeDoSaTo knows it has a grain shader in the post processing.
Different folks different strokes.
I think the grain makes it looks quite sublime and adds to the atmosphere that Castlevania has.

SMAA 4x isn't available when running in CF. And I assume you mean downsample with DSR? Will try the CA trick though, thanks.

Might be a better idea to post the originals, rather than Flickr's sharpened and compressed thumbnails. Especially since this is the high res screenshot thread I find comfort that this is one of the few screenshot threads that encourages you to post full sized images.... within reason.
Now, more LotF

Well I wasn't sure if GAF resized them or not. It's been a while since I posted one here. Anyway, you can click on the images in the post to be taken to the full resolution version. Also I usually use Picpar but lately it isn't giving me links after uploading. Maybe the file sizes are too large? Even after saving these as JPGs they're a little over 5mb.

So here's a version that's just a straight link to the full resolution, no re-sized clickthroughs...
As the screenshot gods intended.

Indeed, sorry about that! I haven't been in here in a while, and I couldn't remember if the site was going to handle the resize or not. I'll go edit those previous posts.

Noice.
GAF will make the images fit even if they are too large for the site's layout. A single click will force the image to display in it's full size. Another click and it's resized to fit again. Lovely implementation. Works for images in quotes too, which is why people will post tall, portrait-oriented images like such:

What do you all think of this Nvidia DSR technology? Do you feel it is on-par with other techniques, or perhaps not as good? I find it nice because it's super easy to use, and as a downsampling n00b that suits me just fine
