for the love of god your there taking a picture of a picture, IT NOT GOING TO LOOK LIKR THAT WHEN YOUR ACUALLY PLAYING THE GAME!!

and since your talking a pic of a pic the change in quality and aspect it will not being able to capture all the crappy textures and jagges.

ITS NOT THE SAME AS DIRECT FEED!

I r sorry but these types of things really get on my nerves.

Look what you've started Bioshock lol. There are lots of reasons people post off screen shots, it makes games look better than normal, only decent screens around, they have a pic of a specific location they want to show. Its not so black and white all the time.

Because they want people to think the game looks better than it actually does.

Robert Downey Jr. is epic. The scene where he gets all serious about the guy touching the girl and then "fight" right after is hilarious.

Anyway why did you mention Kiss Kiss Bang Bang in this topic? haha.

Off-screen shots are always better representatives of the games as they are caught in motion.

Still frames from a buffer don't have any post-processing elements and they actually hurt the full quality of the image.

This myth that stills are better than captures is stupid.

I reject your reality and substitute my own. In any case Shane Black is still awesome.

It wasn't this big of a problem when cows post off-screen shots of Uncharted. You know, the infamous batch, especially the one where Drake's behind cover before that water area? :roll: Now off-screen shots are posted for an Xbox 360 game and it's a big deal, a big enough deal to make a thread about why it's a big deal...

Oh boy.

HOLY ***** you can't be serious..your the one at fault posting gears 2 off-screen shots and claiming BY THEM gears 2 is the best looking game currently, Hell we can do this all day, i ain't going anywhere. I accidently posted 1 ...JUST 1 offscreen shot which i had no idea it was one, but even then that SHOT was a big 720 image, NOT a darkened small one. The rest were true gameplay shots. Stop spinning it around, you got owned..gsus!

You are one of the biggest trolls on here so just be quiet. Half of the time you have no idea what you are talking about and 100% of the time you contradict yourself.

BTW, RE5 isn't survival horror. ;)

Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang is full of win. And almost all of Shane Blacks movies are awesome. he probably has more quoatable lines in his movies than almost any screenwriter I know...Off topic, yes, but I'm a big Shane Black fan and it's good to see him get some props.

On topic: Yes because they look better and it's all any delusional fanboy needs to create a silly "graphics ownage" thread

I love the response Perry gives after he's asked does he still live up to his namesake. I can't repeat it here, but Perry claims he isn't because he's knee deep in something. (IMDB it)

On topic: People really need to stop it with the screenshots. They prove absolutely nothing.

Protocop. FTW.

So you are saying that a crappy picture makes games look better? I have to say I disagree with you.

too true. Any credibility Eyezonmi may have had is long long gone. Even when hes completely wrong, he'll continue to argue. He just doesnt know when to give up...

people don't have a way of getting direct feed. the thing i hate the most about it is when u see the camera always moving. most of the time it looks good then u just see the camera keep on moving.
