Ah, just finished Prey Was quite refreshing for a shooter an audiovisually well done (except some weirdly blurry textures)... two scenes I really liked:

look, it's one of the cool riddles!

this reminded me of bloodlines...

[Calax]

have you played F.E.A.R?

[Dark_Raven]

Sulik is the best with the Super Sledge. He knocked that bandit clear across to the left corner of the screen.

 

Someone got a massive hit on them.

Calax: No, I haven't. I heard that a) the game gets less interesting the longer you play and b) it won't work well enough on my computer for me to enjoy it. So I saved my money for a good RPG and only bought Prey from the bargain bin after having finished NWN2, Etherlords and IWD2 (for the third time).

Well samm, it's the most impressive visuals I've seen in a while.

Back to NWN...

 

Sedos is showing her age well. Except for much simpler character and object models, NWN looks almost as good as NWN2 sometimes. The ridiculous far (not far enough for me) clipping plane fog is sure annoying though; can't see where I should be able to see. NWN2 improved on this, but both games are a far cry from Ultima IX. NWN2's clipping plane slider would have to go to 1000 to match U9's rendering distance (which was only achievable by editing the INI file).

Dreamfall!!! Been a headache day so I've been listless and unfocused. Started with NWN and ended up in Dreamfall. Basically trying games out again now that I've got a slightly faster processor and better video card. I had to compress these images down from 6.7Mb so quality might suffer. It's awesome playing games on a 24" display in its native resolution. The 7950GT KO is a big improvement over my old 6800GT.

 

Zoe Castillo up close. Though the skin textures can tend to be shiny in certain scenes, overall head quality is better than in NWN2. Hair is attached to the head, eyes glisten, lips look moist, no light shining inside mouth, etc.

Argh, this 1Mb upload limit per post kinda stinks. I guess I have the upload abusers to thank for that.

 

What's a city or town these days without a coffee shop? This one's cool because you can actually read the menu, and almost the newspapers. Excellent textures in this game.

I like these cars and buses. I didn't get a shot of it, but the underground train she takes to North America looks great.

 

BTW, these vehicles speed by at whatever highway speed is in this game, which is probably better than 55mph or 90kph. This shot shows the nearby building reflecting off the buses' windows, and the glare of the sun off the bumper. Normally you wouldn't see these with the vehicles speeding by, but it's nice that the developers added this much detail anyway.

Okay final shot. This is the upper floor of the gym where Zoe works out. The lighting in this room is great stuff. In fact the game is full of great looking scenes. So colorful.

[Dark_Raven]

The Bishops made me an offer to join them, and I refused. They didn't like that so I wasted them.

Robodog died. :sad:

I like Dreamfall it's just really creepy how the characters don't emote even a little in conversations.

[Wistrik]

I know what you mean, Tale. Zoe in particular tends to stare like a robot most times. However, since HL2 is the only game I've played to-date with believable facial expressions, I can overlook this limitation. I know NWN2 tries, but more often than not the expressions look more comical than believable, ranging from apparent shock (eyes wide open, mouth ajar) to drowsiness (eyes half shut, head falling forward and then quickly jerking to attention), no matter the subject being discussed. It'll get better as more and more games implement it. Perhaps Dreamfall Chapters will improve on this, and hopefully Dragon Age will be at least as good as HL2 in this regard. There may be better games to use as a good example, but I've not played them yet.

Even Longest Journey had characters move their heads and arms in dialogue scenes.

 

Apparently these forums don't recognize dialogue, either.

I didn't take any extra screenshots because I was too busy trying to finish the game yesterday (there were some awesome scenes), but I was watching for facial expressions. Dreamfall has them, but in short supply. Eyes roll, brows furrow, and they might slightly frown or smile. It's not immediately noticeable, isn't used on every character, and isn't used consistently on a per character basis, but it's there.

I figure Sup Com shots would be welcome

You know Oblivion seriously needs guns, think about how awesome it would be to snipe fools on that bridge

I'm currently replaying Teudogar and the Alliance with Rome. It's a historical RPG set in the ancient Germania. Are you bad enough dude to stop emperor Augustus... or ally with him??!!
