Amazing work, anon. Dishonored looks quite like a realistic painting sometimes.
High-res screenshots in 360 or older era games really make for the best wallpapers.

Bioshock Infinite and Red Dead 2 are quite political/propaganda games, despite their (BSI) try to associate Columbia and America to the most negative possible point, Columbia still looks so nice and honestly anybody would want to live there.
Can't say the same about RDR2, although not due to its politics and historical distortion, just rather due to modern graphics techniques that make games nowadays look horrible.

I think he was just talking about the literal shit, not saying the screenshot is shit. Although I think RDR2 itself is very shitty for screenshots due to sharpening, screenspace trickery, raymarching and TAA or FSR/DLSS.

>>8112285
There are multiple piles of literal horse feces in the road
But these do all just look like a paused game on a mid-tier PC

>Columbia still looks so nice and honestly anybody would want to live there
the game literally shows slave labor and overt racial discrimination. you're literally incapable of media literacy

These screenshots aren't exactly the native screenshots from the games.

Disohonored 2 and DotO:
>Turned down TXAA. TXAA was the better option out of the other in-game options for AA but having it on high was a problem.
>Turned off HBAO in some areas because it doesn't fit all lighting situations well
>Turned off DoF
>Turned off Bloom
>Everything else on ultra

Bioshock Infinite
>ini tweak to increase render quality, including uncompressed textures, improved render distance, dynamic shadows
>ini tweak to add in some AO and AA features that aren't on by default
>Cheat Engine to hide the hands/gun model so you can get clean shots outside of the no-gun areas
>Everything else on ultra

RDR2:
This is the hardest one because it has an actual photomode and it fights everything you want to do. I'm still experimenting with trying to disable stuff and get a cleaner image, composition not withstanding.
>Disable bloom
>Disable dof
>Everything on ultra

My 3070 can handle all these games just fine at 60fps, with only RDR2 being a problem if you crank up certain effects. Since I'm just chasing screenshots, I don't need FPS.

I've been experimenting with methodology, so it has changed since I started the thread.
>upscale the game output to 4k, making sure not to over-sharpen (hence me asking about crispiness in the OP)
>apply HDR filter which brings out details across the image
>apply clarity filter which emphasizes shapes and forms
>adjust exposure, gamma, shadows, highlights, and contrast. i do this per screen shot because the settings change per area/scene/lighting situation
>adjust color temp, apply a color filter if needed, adjust vibrancy
>lightly sharpen
>resize to 1080p with a smoothing resampler to knock down some of the sharpening from previous steps

I would love to do some more games but the challenge is removing 3rd person characters without a photo mode. It takes a lot of time to scan memory for disabling models.

Why do you think I said it associates America and white societies with bad things? Unless you believe I don't think of slavery as a negative.
That's the whole point, how Columbia looks outshines the bad propaganda of Levine and even the story-world is against it. Columbia has no need for slaves, from a citizen perspective they only serve to degrade their quality of life, from a business owner they are of no use because of automatons; besides, they are supposed to hate other races, so why would they want to import foreigners? In the end, those foreigners are the ones who end up destroying Columbia altogether. The only use for slaves would be if you were jewish or something and wanted to replace or take over the Columbia using those slaves.

Bioshock Infinite is bad propaganda because it has no believability at all, it just wants to say whites are evil and America is evil for being a white nation regardless if it's in sacrifice of a functioning narrative and ends up shooting itself in the foot if you think about it for more than two seconds.

The first Bioshock with its underlying messaging was still hateful, but it isn't a bad game, bad narrative or bad propaganda (at least technically) because the message exists with and along the story rather than despite and in spite of it (and of history).

Also, do not say "you lack muh media literacy", nobody likes the entitled college kid attitude.

Experimenting with Hellblade. Once again, the devs make it impossible to get a clean image. This shit is so piled in post-process effects it's hard to get a good result.

Dishonored 2 is lame and gay.
