Screenshot LPs are automatically better than 99.999% of the video let's plays out there on the modern internet, thanks to the fact that it's literally impossible to make one without putting at least some minimal effort into format and editing.

Depends, does the commentator refer to their listeners by some weird proper noun like “Madden Gang” and have a thumbnail of them looking at a low-res picture of athletes with their mouth open and their eyes widened? And is the game titled something clickbait like “WORLD FIRST 3RD INNING… MURDER??”

Plus for a while now games have had nice photo modes that actually enhance the graphics, so it genuinely looks nicer.

anyone else really disappointed that the PT knockoff genre never went anywhere?
nobody would accuse bloober team of being anything but just okay
frictional's last game sucked bigtime and clearly didn't follow any of the lessons they preached in their own blogposts
that 'akuma kira' dude who made 'spooky's house of jumpscares' and 'lost in vivo' has the right idea but seems doomed to be a destitute avante garde artist that will never get the recognition they deserve
scorn looks pretty neat if it ever actually comes out

i just can't believe that gold rush yielded nothing but poo poo

I've never come across that phenomenon, that sounds super annoying. I used to hate them because it seemed so pointless, but once playing Returnal and now once playing Ratchet and Clank, I was so taken with an image I wanted to snap it. I'll probably never look at them again, and I'm sure as poo poo never 'sharing' them or use whatever folksy social media integration everything seems obsessed with. But after watching a video from an actual photographer examine, explain and rate all the tools in God of War, I gained a much better appreciation for how actually Camera Mode these days is a pretty cool™ thing.

Only photo mode I ever used was for Nioh 2, cause of how cool the attack animations are and how you can advance them frame-by-frame to set up some cool shots.

i love photo modes and they should always be accessible by one button press that isn't accidentally pressed very often. like up on the dpad or some poo poo
hopefully next gen consoles will have a dedicated button that will probably be in some idiotic place that's cumbersome or easily mashed accidentally and then the console after that will nail it

The latest Tomb Raider's photo mode is pretty good, because you can change Lara's facial expression during the cutscenes. Unfortunately there is pretty limited number of faces and poses.

Garry's mod level of freedom would be lovely, but I guess studios don't want people to get too horny with their screenshots.

Star Citizen is paving the way for all video game companies. Goons don't want to admit it but CIG and RSI and HDDVD are the way of the future.

You think every video game developer isn't looking at Star Citizen going "gently caress they don't even have a game and people love that poo poo!" You're wondering why games keep getting released half finished at best and DLC and poo poo is required to make it halfway acceptable. It's because the chicken poo poo loving developers admire CIG but don't have the balls to try and pull off that level of power move.

We're gonna get to the point that gamers won't be playing games any more, they'll just be playing promises of games. Cyberpunk almost did it but they got scared and released something at the last minute. gently caress that. gently caress releasing anything real. Release some bit piece demos to keep the dream alive and nothing else but promises and lore.

You're fools if you think a few Call of Duty's down the line they aren't gonna be showcasing some basic rear end shooting and a couple guns but promising an entire living world that will absolutely make you as valid as a real solider. Just keep funding that dream. This is technology as it is meant to be made and used.

Either that or Star Citizen is a scam, and we all know which scenario is more likely :smug:

I thrououghly enjoyed RDR2 and it's gameplay. That might be because I haven't played every open world.game ever.

The only problem is that it's so big that there's no reason to do everything unless you're insane.
