Wow The Division looks incredible in some of those pics, like a photo or concept art at times.

Wow...this looks way better than the previous game.Dat...
Might have trouble maxing it with a 4GB GTX 670 though as my other one died.
Why the bullshit reply? Either it's a debug build like before, when Square gave several people a debug build with camera tools (and whether you are allowed to have it or not, let's not discuss that) or a CE table that's not public (for whatever reason).Nope.
It's not a competition.

Can I has it?
I haven't thrown it up yet because... well, see those 2 shots there? If I hadn't saved right before there, then it would be impossible to complete it. The "time freeze" I have right now causes physics objects to go a bit awry when you unfreeze. It can be so bad that required objects will not behave as needed in order to progress. The solution so far has just been to save your game in a new slot every time you're about to start freezing a lot.
Since I know how lazy I am, I probably won't come up with a better way to freeze the game. Apparently this was also a problem in the first Tomb Raider so... what the hell. I'll probably do a quick guide for it tomorrow. Bed now.
thanks for the info
Yes this was a problem with TR2013 as well. I remember having frozen a scene which had a simple puzzle but couldn't complete it as some element wasn't activated. Reloading it and it worked. It's odd that this happens though, you'd expect things to work based on triggers in the game world, not based on timers.TheOctagon

Maybe that should be discussed, because it's the height of entitlement to suggest that developers share their internal code just to satisfy the whims of a few hobbyist gamers. People who are allowed to work with such code have to jump through myriad hoops to even discuss the possibility, much less obtain builds and actually publish the results. That kind of access is the result of often years (literally) of bridge-building, not salty 'gimme' posts on forums.
You might think that there's sufficient ROI for a company to arrange NDAs, Steam branches and the rest so you can take some screenshots. Maybe you're right. But have you done anything to prove that to the people who matter? To justify their time? Make no mistake, the onus is 100% on you to to make that happen. The industry owes you nothing. To suggest otherwise is an insult to those with initiative.

God. You take he absolute best screenshots Jim.
Amazing.
Amazing.
I agree. They got pretty close or even surpassed the original target video.
dude why are you taking such a hostile tone
he's really obviously insinuating about the piracy of debug builds, not entitlement to freecam debug code or whatever

Ooogling aside, I really like Lara's porportions and model in this game. Its very feminine with realistic curvature and such (trying not to sound pervy).
Yes of course she is thin, but her proportions aren't embellished or anything. I thought her torso was a little too tiny in TR 2013. In Rise she looks better.

If he is then I'm genuinely sorry. It's not how I interpreted it, but then I do get 'Why not us?' emails every day at the moment, so I'm kind of on a hair trigger.
The good news is that piracy is a non-issue with debug builds nowadays. They're pretty much all handled by Steam, fingerprinted and covered by NDA. Any time you get a truly offline build, you have to basically agree to use it in an airtight coffin. The only debugs I've ever seen 'go wild' have been ones which were accidentally leaked or left in the retail code.
EDIT: Yeah, okay, I re-read his post and while he's not talking about piracy, I did take it the wrong way. In fact, I dare suggest he was trying to avoid the precise discussion that I started off! I am a putz. Sorry.

How did you take these shots with the camera?

Huh. It sounded to me like he's questioning whether or not everyone is deserving of debug tools. But... it's the internet. Text. It's hard to gauge intent.
Thanks, but no, that would be DeadEndThrills (aka TheOctagon)

Damn I love your pics Jim. Amazing as usual.
I figured there would be a catch with freezing the game. Thanks for the info. There's so much screenshot potential to this game that it's worth putting up with a little bullshit to get some of those amazing shots.
Haha yea. I wouldn't let it bother me too much. In some way I find it understandable that people who create the tables or make the tools or what have you would want to get off a few of their own shots and have their work admired before they let the rest in on the fun. I just wish I could do it myself, but I have no knowledge of how to do it. So I'll just wait patiently until one comes around.
Actually what would be beneficial is if Jim or Kputt or anyone else who knows could let me know where to look specifically for these game CE tables, in the case that they DO happen to release them.

I will always post my CE Tables with a guide on the DeadEndThrills forums. You'll see a new thread here. Sometime today. I just need to aobscan the scripts. When I get around to that is entirely up to my baby's napping patterns.

the game certainly looks good, but they definitely didnt reach the level of the early footage

Excellent. Thank you!

You should set aside a day, or even a weekend, to pull off a really simple objective. If it's camera tools specifically, then once you've gone through the CE tutorial that's built into the thing, you can maybe try and find a camera coordinate and move it about. That's actually not simple at all if you're just starting out, but the logic behind it is. Trust me, do it once and you'll never worry about motivation again. You'll want to do more, and do it quicker and more reliably, and after a year or so you'll be hacking anything you please. It's a hobby in itself.
There's a guy on my forum, one3rd, who's gone from asking about tables to doing them routinely, and it's a beautiful thing. Tenacity like that is what it's all about.

I'm definitely considering doing that. I'll give it a try one of these days and see what comes of it. Your pictures are definitely motivation enough for me to want to learn.
That's Batmobile porn right there. Gorgeous.

You can all now continue posting on the next page....
Thought this might get more attention here:
I am trying to install ReShade for the first time so I can use SMAA with Rise of TR.
I'm getting the following when trying to run Mediator:
I've done both of these...to no success. Anybody have any suggestions/tips?
It's not incompatible with W10...is it?

It's perfectly fine with Windows 10 for me. But I don't use it. I just manually tweak things. Mediator is.... a mess.
Never messed with any of these post AA options before, and Mediator not installing is not really giving me great excitement to do so...
What's the manual way of injecting SMAA?

Open the ReShade folder and tweak SweetFX.cfg yourself. Here are the SMAA settings I use:
Everything else left alone.

Thanks at The Janitor for helping me out with Helixmod and to One3rd for the UE3 command guide. Unfortunately the CE tables didn't work for me, something must have messed up the aob scan I guess so UE3 commands had to suffice.
