Infamous SS Photo Mode |OT| If it's not bokeh, don't fix it

Well, Sony DOES have the movie license.

I don't understand why they don't utilize the franchises they own.

I may be wrong, but I think Sony owns only the movie license. Marvel owns the IP and they give rights to different 3rd parties. Activision seems to own the game publishing rights since Spider-Man (2000)

pip pip cheerio you slags!
Sony ever said anything about why screenshot quality can't be higher? I get video, but surely screenshots can be of better quality. Unless of course i'm stupid and there's a reasonable answer.
Can't wait for the new firmware that lets ya take em directly off the Ps4.
 
Try the PS4 app method instead of posting to any social media network:

1. Attach and send the pic to your second account or to any friend.
2. Open the PS4 app on your phone (iOS/Android)
3. Open the conversation and save the photos.
4. Upload to any non-compressing hosting site (pomf.se/minus.com etc)

The quality isn't that good this way either but sometimes a difference is noted from posting on to FB/Twitter and saving the pictures that are attached.

Thanks a lot :)

PNG screenshots is my most wanted feature.

Does that produce higher quality than the Twitter ":eek:rig" trick? Or about the same...

I got nothing to say other than I thought it was a crappy shot when I took it but after going through all the many I captured in the past hour and a half to upload, the details on the soldier blew me away.

Other than that,

My god, it's full of bokeh.


Fucking hell these are crisp. I also have to ask whether this is with just the photo mode or a capture card? Doesn't matter to me either way as they are both great. I love the second shot as well; there is a lot of deserved love going around for Sucker Punch for their attention to detail in this world they've created.



I thought about doing this last night as well. Excellent shot!

Some more.

Frankly, I'm testing this out myself just now, see if you can notice any difference
They look pretty much the same...PS4's encoding heavily affected the shot, I guess it doesn't like DOF.

Well, I can't see any difference.

There is slight difference. Most noticeable in the clouds to the left. Honestly though the difference is too minor for me to go through the effort of a second PSN account, messaging, PSN app etc.

When we can pop them on a memory stick I'll most likely do that but until then I'll use twitter and :eek:rig. They are good enough for me and make good desktop wallpapers for me.

I can't notice any difference either, for a trained eye there might be able to spot a difference, however slight it may be.

I'm eagerly awaiting for FW 1.7 so that we can export the shots to a flash drive. Also they should've included an option for multiple uploads to FB instead of selecting one by one to upload. Twitter, I can understand, but for FB, it should've been included.

Don't worry, I'll vouch for them.
Guys! Remember when SP released this image and people made fun of it? Yeah…

Whoever made that screenshot should take a long hard look at this thread and reevaluate their skill sets. :D

People would just scream bullshots to all of these here.

Seriously? Look at the clouds the gradient transition to different colors takes a bigger hit in the second shot compared to the first. Overall both suffer with compression issues out the ass though, just the second shot clearly suffers from more.

Which is weird because the one hosted on minus should have less compression.
 
More games outside of racers need to do this sort of thing. Include photo mode tools so gamers can take amazing looking shots of the game.

So people are just posting power spoilers? Is that fine now?

I know the game has been out for a bit, I was just wondering. I have quite a few pictures that I'd share, but I'm not keen on posting things not Smoke and Neon.
