LOL at the contortions your putting the Hitman through when aiming!

Thanks for the info
I've used that flag in Nvinspector before. I find too much of a performance hit with specific AA settings (I almost always play at the res I take screenshots in) and with default settings at 4K there is almost zero aliasing anyway. (The shot above with the graffiti and railing is a few weird shadows not visible jaggies)
It's a tough choice between 4K (downsampled) and 144hz (love my monitor). I think we'll be in for a treat when screens offer native 4K at 120/144. The movement is so smooth and almost surreal but the extra crispness some games get at higher resolutions, like Dead Island make screenshots better obviously
A few more I took today. I think the game is just as under appreciated as the visuals.

4k 144hz with strobing low persistence would be cumtastic. (Or something improved from Sony's Motionflow impulse!)
Anywho, great shots and what not!
My main beef with the game (If you can notice in the video I provided) is that there is a persistent microstutter (Frame pacing issue maybe?) even with a controller, making it completely unplayable for me. It's not something as simple as the frame times spiking consistently (A problem I was having when I played Mafia 2 with a 30FPS cap while using 60Hz Vsync. That was fixed by using a 30FPS cap with 1/2 Vsync) Because the frametimes are basically 100% consistent.
This happens whether i'm capped to 60FPS or 30FPS. The only point it becomes unoticable is if I play ~100FPS, which without being able to use vsync and having good AA/IQ is another problem.
Looking at it again, it seems maybe every so many frames several get churned out as duplicates for some reason
(To see this, use a controller, and slowly pan in one direction or the other)

Other than this, I was actually impressed with some aspects of it. And it seemed like it would be a fun game.
But the Stutter/Frame pacing issue kills it

Nope, I just dip in and out of this thread occasionally to see pretty things. But thanks, I'll be sure to link my graphics programmer friend to this - always nice to see your work appreciated long after everyone's stopped talking about it in the media

Like Riptide (which I happened to play first), this game has good variation in environments and a nice pacing to the progression.

I expect Ryse on PC to look this good. Don't fail us now, Crytek!

Game's not an overall visual stunner but it can look decent in certain areas.
Anyone know how to disable/hide the HUD?
Edit; Forgot to mention, was simply using 2040p driver downsampling in conjunction with in-game maxed out settings.
May I direct you to:
Given there wasn't huge advertising, and the game seems to be a sleeper release almost, I think it looks pretty good. http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=4892547&postcount=2255
I'm also glad the HUD doesn't scale with resolution. Meaning downsampling+SGSSAA will actually be a viable solution
I'll be happy as long as those supposed cutscenes that ran in real-time that were made into FMVs to simplify loading or whatever were back to being real-time. Fuck FMVs, what a waste of hard drive space space. Don't even bother if you aren't going to encode them well
I also hope they will include SMAA 4x/TXAA/etc.
A thousand thanks. Totally forgot to check that thread.
Fwiw, I enjoy R3's visuals, it's the same Risen 2 engine but with added polish from the looks of it. Depth of Field, lighting and dynamic shadows in particular seem improved over Risen2 if am not mistaken.
Am enjoying the gameplay as well, feels more in tune with Risen1; which I enjoyed more than Risen 2.
Same I'd prefer real time, as well, those lovely bokeh effects too while in-game.

Call of Duty: Black Ops (works great with Durante's tool for 4K + fxaa capture due to MSAA having white outline issues + hud disabled through ini for immersion)

PostProcessing to add color might help those CoDs look really nice

Agreed. That's a lot of brown and grey.
