'scuse me.
it most definitely is an actual ingame screen shot? OR
it most definitely is a technically altered / enhanced ingame screen shot?

The depth of field effect has artist/gameplay driven parameters as to where to focus, but the effect is the same and has a constant cost. It’s a fixed part of the post-processing pipeline.

I remember the very same skepticism regarding the ETQW screenies…and just as before, people seem to be having a hard time accepting that they are real. Of course when I run it on my PC at AAx2 and bilinear AF (at best)…it’s not going to look like that!

so you are actually telling me, this may be a screenshot i could have taken from a spectator/theatre mode angle, if i was running a decent rig?
if this is actually the case,…
… i kindly thank you for this insane info
… i kindly thank the entire staff of SD in advance for making my day (today and on the 20th of may, 2011)
… i have to ask you what sort of rig (approx.) would be needed to have this on my screen this may? and
… i give you my word, that i will purchase the second copy as soon as the collectors edition is available or one of my mates decides to get this game.
thx

The added benefit of idtechs network demos mean that you can crank up the graphics to the max, regardless of the rig, and capture a screenshot or video clip then dial it back down when you’re done. Obviously it’ll slog along if you’re rig can’t handle it, but obviously that’s not for viewing the demo its just for capturing.

means you can jack the graphic levels way up beyond playability to capture screens in demo playback [simplified]

Everyone is biased to believe oranges.
What we’ve been trying to say for the past 10 years: NO
PS4: yes
PS4 + 2 years: “oh can it look as good as that latest PC game?”
I bet those screens used parameters that were playable.
Do we really need a mundane “what is your system?” thread? How are these graphics so unbelievable to everyone? In 2008 I paid $280 to do HD4850’s in crossfire and they still run most games today at high settings at 19x12. If they can’t max Brink at that resolution I will upgrade. Don’t tell me you all still have a 7600/8600 GT.
There’s a reason why Brink is blanketed-hyped as an awesome game. There’s too many interesting things to list before attention spans run out. I guess it’s the contrast of expectation perhaps: “We’re going to make a game with a ton of features using a 7 year old engine. In the back of your minds you will think graphics are our last priority so expect them to look 75% of what 7 years ago could do.”

You completely missed the point of what was being said. The point was, even if you have a poor system, you can still crank the graphics way up to get a sweet looking screenshot, even beyond playable performance for your rig.

Your point was that it was possible to get graphics way up for the purpose of getting a screenshot without being able to play the game, he said it was possible on the parameters used for the images would be feasible to used on a pc for gameplay.

[QUOTE=madoule;260154]ahhh now i got it 100% thank you!
sounds like a great feature…[/QUOTE]
You can even record a beautiful looking movie on a crappy pc that way by letting the engine take it’s time to render every single screen separately.
It’s a bit of a meaningless phrase isn’t it? I’m sure there are NASA computers out there that are capable of playing the most heavy games at the maxed settings.

I meant exactly what I said, a bog standard, or even poor PC can push the graphics to max settings for the sake of taking a screenshot or capture an avidemo, even if the PC can’t run the game at a playable speed in a normal playing scenario with the same settings (read playable at >20+fps).

Yes, yes, that is true. But the point that Auzner made (and this is me playing the interlocutor for the last time) was that decent gaming pc’s can run the game well enough at the settings that the image has been rendered in. The point you make is that of any pc being able to run the game but perhaps not at a decent fps while he says that those settings are achievable on a good enough machine.
