My personal contribution to this thread has become something of a tour de force. While I never set out to make it such, my ridiculously large library has made it so. To date I've posted 279 screen shots from 106 different games (not including MP or DLC) that I personally own and have played - including 9 ultra widescreen 7680x1600 "Eyefinity" shots. For that reason I've instituted a few features: Each game has been categorized by Developer, with links to the appropriate website Where sequels or reboots covered similar ground, I tried to provide related screen shots to contrast the difference Some screen shots are followed by a "spoiler" box. This box includes unique information such as modifications that have been used, or in the case of many older games, widescreen & FOV "fixes" that may have been added. In addition you may find a "NOTE" section that will designate something special about a particular shot At least once a year I give the thread a complete over-haul to keep it fresh For me this thread has constituted a great many hours to construct. I expect a great many more hours will be added as time goes on. As I buy new games I will add new shots. As I replay old ones I will replace mediocre shots with better ones and expand where content is sparse. It is an investment, and I take some pride in it and its presentation. That however does not mean this is a competition. Please, post your own screens without hesitation, especially if they are of a genre or title not already shown. I would love to see this thread grow so epic it draws a crowd. In any event, welcome and enjoy. *Thanks go to ImageShack for image hosting (despite how frequently they lose or change the address of my shots)

Portal 2 Portal 2 CO-OP Portal -- Half-Life 3 Coming... Some time before the end of time, hopefully (rumored 2013) Half-Life 2: Episode 2 Half-Life 2: Episode 1 Half-Life 2: Lost Coast Half-Life 2 Collector's Edition Spoiler: NOTE: Back before the day of pre-orders and pre-order bonuses Valve did a rare thing, they offered a Collector's Edition of Half-Life 2 that included re-mastered versions of earlier games, guides, art and a T-Shirt... and I bought it all day one.

Mass Effect 3: N7 Collector's Edition Coming March 6th, 2012 Mass Effect 2: Collector's Edition Spoiler: NOTE: There were three different bonuses announced for this game's launch. One came as a part of the Collectors Edition, the other two came from pre-ordering from various different vendors. I got two by pre-ordering the Collector's Edition and the third by pre-ordering a copy for a friend. Some times being a completionist is annoying. Mass Effect 2: Lair of the Shadow Browker Mass Effect 2: Arrival Mass Effect Spoiler: NOTE: This shot is special in that all three characters are equipped with the game's rarest, most hard to find equipment. Wrex is wearing Geth Armory "Battlemaster X" armor. Commander Shepard is wearing "Predator M X" armor from Spectre Master Gear. Tali is wearing the rarest of all, with Kassa Foundation's "Colossus X" armor for Quarians. All three are using "Savant X" bioamps and/or omni-tools from Serrice Council. Lastly, the entire team is equipped with "X" versions of "Spectre Master Gear" weapons. If you've played the game, then you know to do this without cheating requires about two full play-throughs of the game... and a LOT of exploration! Mass Effect: Pinnacle Station

Assassin's Creed: Revelations Assassin's Creed Brotherhood - Deluxe Edition Spoiler: ACHIEVEMENT: You'll notice various armors in these shots, but the most notable is the "Armor of Brutus" armor in thumbnail five. This armor can only be attained by finding, solving and/or beating six hidden "Romulus Liars" within the game. Another interesting fact about that shot is that Ezio is sitting atop the "Castel Sant' Angelo", the highest point in all Rome in 1503, and as a result, in the game Assassin's Creed II - Deluxe Edition Assassin's Creed - Director's Cut Edition *Unfortunately this game does not allow Anti-Aliasing, forced or otherwise* -- Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Coming 2012 Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter Ghost Recon Ghost Recon: Island Thunder Ghost Recon: Desert Siege -- Far Cry 3 Coming 2012 Far Cry 2 - Fortune's Edition Old Shots, new high-res replacements coming -- Rainbow Six: Patriots Coming 2013 Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 Rainbow Six: Vegas Spoiler: This game requires a third party patch to enable widescreen.

Each of the other four classes: SMG, LMG, Sniper and Shotgun had the same requirements. The completionist within me had to have them all.

Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy Spoiler: To enable widescreen and proper FOV, follow the instructions here. ACHIEVEMENT: A little hacking makes this shot special. Bobba Fett is not a playable character in this game, neither does he ever use a double ended, multi-colored light saber that can be split into two sabers. However, with some creative scripting, it can all be assigned to hotkeys to enable and disable on the fly as you so desire. PC Gaming FTW!

It's a light show


My Battlecruiser Pegasus. Armed with six Medium Heavy Laser Beams and can fire up to 10km.


My Frigate the Saber. For when I have fast moving targets and nothing else will catch up and kill them fast enough.

I have a Battleship called the Abaddon in production and when I can fly it will release some photos of it.

Sweet! Thanks for the contribution Jordan, looking forward to more!

Unreal Tournament 3 - Black Edition Unreal Tournament 2004 - Editor's Choice Edition Spoiler: ACHIEVEMENT: Those who have played UT may recognize why this otherwise bland looking shot is special. In order to capture such a shot you would had to have beaten the single player game to unlock the "Xan" player model, won the round of deathmatch you were playing, done so with a headshot, using a single shot sniper rifle, while jumping and while having quad-damage. A rare shot for any gamer, let alone one of my mediocre skill Unreal Tournament - Game of the Year Edition Spoiler: Mods used: OldUnreal Extreme Texture Mod Kentie's DirectX 10 Renderer Unreal II: The Awakening Unreal Gold Spoiler: Mods used: Kentie's DirectX 10 Renderer

Is that real time???

[linehog98]

Yes, all the training for skills done in EVE literally takes hours, days, months, years. Not like in some video games where an hour in game time could be half an hour in real time.
