It's kinda cheating since it's a screenshot renderer, but it's still immensely pretty.

Crysis Vanilla / Hilariously High Resolution, that is.
Crysis Vanilla Original Resolution looks rather nasty. It always broke my heart that I couldn't find an AA combination to get nice clean palm fronds.Well , resolution is at 3200 X 1800 plus 8 X SGSSAA on top of it so ,yeah
.HOWEVER , when you switch off SSAO the framerate shoots back up to 50-60 Fps .
SSAO truly butchers performance with a resolution that high.

Yeah the game looks okay at a normal resolution, but not that amazing. The resolution used for those pictures was something around 15000x8000, so...

With age the resolution should naturally improve.

SGSSAA (or even TrSSAA) says hai.
(You can also downsample with the combination of the above. it doesn't take much to get amazing looking stuff)
Mother of God!!

I never gave it much time but I think the screenshot renderer can basically do whatever res you want, since you can render it in a zillion tiles at a zillion res each tile.
I have all the Trackmania 2 versions, I think Canyon is my fave. All of them look great even in gameplay.
Loving how clean those Bioshock pics look!
And Castlevania's last gen assets aren't aging well. I honestly thought it was a mobile version at first glance in a couple of those pics (not the screenshotters fault).
Really nice shot.

Castlevania LoS is downright rough and ugly in a lot of it's elements, it even has dithered shadows and visible texture compression. It's like an early UE3 game with it's bloom-blur despite coming out in 2010 (well, 2010 isn't exactly yesterday).
But i still like it for the environment and a few situations here and there.

In theory it can, but the game crashes and blackscreens if I try to render a 10kx10k screenshot. Dunno if that's a limitation of the game engine or my PC. I'd assume the game, because given enough time, any computer can render any image.

The SSAO added in the PC port is very awful.
And mind you, this is a game that was designed for 1280x720 with no AA barely reaching 30FPS on PS3/360. They didn't upgrade the graphics AFIK . Even the shitty 720p compressed to crap FMVs are still there.
It's not like it's blameless either, even recent games still have lots of ugly texturing compression. (Like LoS2 for example as well.)
I think LOS1 looks amazing for it's time given the constraints of the PS3/360. I was blown away by how good it looked even on the PS3 with no AA and shitty framerate.

Really? Have you turned off SSAO? Because it's mostly awful looking in that game.

It's pretty exciting that the new console tech has me rather unimpressed with a lot of these screenshots.
I'm very excited for the future on PC because of this.
I'm looking at you, shitty lighting!

I'm glad that the old consoles aren't holding games back like they were. PC games are going to benefit from consoles being upgraded. This excites me.

That's a good question, it's been a while since i played Skyrim (these are old screens) and i can't remember in what order i installed the mods. But these are the grass mods i'm running:
- Dat Grass 1.2
- Grass on Steroids
- SkyRealism Grass
- SFO Regular
Edit: I remember manually replacing a grass texture. Don't know which one though, sorry.

I was wrong, the outdoors in this game actually look really nice.
Same been enjoying the look of this game with my GTX680 4gb. Posted a lot of screenshots on Steam.

Pretty clear what he was trying to say.
If people stop judging PC games on stills that were taken during unplayable settings, it will make sense too.
These are perfectly playable, if you've got the hardware. In fact, I don't see anything on this page that my system couldn't push with relative ease. We have a dedicated thread for unplayable bullshots... this one ain't it.
