The obligatory shot of Melentia 
So love this!
Some really nice Alan Wake shots in the last couple of pages.
...
Took a chance on a $4 purchase and picked up TimeShift. Not too bad considering how old it is. The time manipulation mechanic is pretty neat.
Used GeDoSaTo for this shot but I didn't like how all the postfx from sweetfx are applied on the downsampled image. The game has no AA to speak of and really benefits from SMAA being applied to the full rendered image.

Such next gen texture detail! how do they make it so real?
You can force SGSSAA if you have an Nvidia card with 0x004010C4

Thanks that really does clean up the aliasing! I don't like how it seems to blur the textures though with the auto LOD setting. Any idea what I should use for 4xsgssaa? LOD = -1 still has a slight blur.
[EDIT: Looks like a little bit of luma sharpening counteracts the blur nicely!]

LOD is adjusted automatically with SGSSAA. I dont think changing the setting does anything. Unless there's a way to brute force it.

First I thought about the 8GB VRAM of the PS4 but then i realized that the trailer was shot on a xbone, so now i think it's magic...

Dude, you really think i believed what he said? Maybe my joke wasn't that funny at all...

Can you force HBAO+ and SGSSAA in Alan Wake? Are there any texture mods around? Love the sreenshots!
I actually thought the trailer looked pretty good (beyond the futurey stuff which I'm an absolute sucker for), and I think that character model looks great. And given that Call of Duty: Ghosts had sizeable textures on PC and the trailer is being touted as Xbone footage, I'm optimistic.
Also, if I wasn't seeing things, the first person view had self-shadowing (fingers shadowing palms), which I think is a first for Call of Duty. I don't get why more games don't do that.

I was forcing "Texture filtering - LOD Bias (DX)" and there was definitely a difference...mainly more blur. =)

SGSSAA definitely makes a difference on the fencing.
That screenshot totally caught me off guard and made me stop scrolling. Looks good dude.

I like this one! And i always wanted to play this game at some point. But there are soo many games i want to play at some point..
I searched for some HD textures myself a while back, and couldn't find any! Only thing i did find was some flashlight mods and that was it!
Also 4xMSAA + 4xSGSSAA can be forced as well.

Nice timeshift shots! Do you recommend it? I can't find any good Test-Videos.
I know what you mean. I should start on my Steam backlog but I keep getting side tracked by these older classics.I like this one! And i always wanted to play this game at some point. But there are soo many games i want to play at some point..
BTW, that DS2 shot is wicked!
I had the same problem, I read some reviews and was intrigued about the time manipulation aspect as I just finished Singularity but was left wanting.
As for TimeShift, I'm having a good time going through it now. The engine is a bit dated but does have its moments. For less than $4 I would recommend it just to try out the time powers.
I wasn't able to find a free cam for it but the ini file can be modified to remove the crosshair and gun.

You think C4 blurs? oh man, you should see the old flag. It's near impossible to get razor sharp image quality and kill all aliasing at the same time.
But, you have the choices for LoD (As you mentioned though, some sharpening also works. Which is what I would prefer. Because LoD changes often induce shimmering/moire), auto LoD on. And with ALOD off, you can set it manually or leave it to 0

It's also somewhat of a necessity in Saber Interactive's Engine. Not even crazy downsampling can tackle the large amounts of shader and texture aliasing. SGSSAA+downsampling = amazing though.
No mods. SGSSAA can be used, but it causes glitches and doesn't look good.
You also can't disable MSAA in the game which causes problems with trying to force it.
Your best option is in game MSAA+FXAA + ~1.5 to 2.0x downsampling
As far as HBAO+, if the game has built in SSAO, that would need to be disabled and someone would have to use trial and error to find a flag that would work

Man, we really need some next-gen games.
There's nothing to it, it's almost always the same oversaturated shit plus the eventual creepy anime shit character whose cleavage the modder proably masturbates to in the evening hours. Imho and sorry, didn't want to derail the thread.

Comment that you think a screen looks great or the game looks ugly, but no real point commenting on the choice of game. :/

Agree. Honestly, there are a lot of games and stuff like that I don't like. But I keep it to myself. I mostly comment on technical things that i'm anal about. Like AA/IQ/etc.
ELE still looks nice. But man, the original demo was sooo much better looking IMO in many areas. (The original only had FXAA though. Which looked really bad in that regard)

It really sucks that the freecam disables dynamic shadows.
Oh god thank you for pointing this out I had no idea why I couldn't get shadows to work!
