Hey there, I made this thread to accommodate people who maybe felt left out of the PC version of the topic. I'm sure there are console gamers out there who want to share screen-grabs of console games, and there are some wonderful PS3 Xbox360 and wii games out there that everyone would love to see in action, so here you go.. doesn't matter if it was shot off screen as most console games would probably be.
 

Some rules to avoid thread problems: 

  
 

Images: 

 

Try to post reduced sizes that link to a larger version off-page or resized when clicked, or just post thumbnails. I'm guessing most people's monitor specs hover around the 1050px mark, so try to have something equivalent to that width-wise.        
 

Videos:

 

Try to have a minimal number of embedded videos per-post-per-page to avoid spamming; i.e. try to maintain one video embed per page. If you really want to share more videos in a post, just embed the first and link the rest. Also only link to videos of yourself playing, not just any random video off youtube.  

 

Mini Tutorial on posting reduced images that link to the larger original version: 

 
For those who are not HTML experts (like me), here's a small guide. Let's say I want to post a smaller version of a 1920x1080 screenshot. In this case, I want to limit the width of the image to 800px, and I also want to have it link to the larger version by clicking on it.  
While posting, go to Insert HTML and insert your image with:  
 
<a href="your image url"><img src="your image url" width="800"></a> 

<a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6651308/_0001_DOD.jpg"><img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6651308/_0001_DOD.jpg" width="800"></a> 
 
  
Thanks and start posting!

Dropbox looks like a sweet deal--I've been using abload and it's a massive pain.

I condone this thread, it will be interesting to see what screenshots we can get from the console side of things (there's no shortage of good games with good screenshot opportunities). I think a good screenshot isn't necessarily something of high graphical fidelity, just of something we've never seen before, or a familiar game taken in interesting situations or angles. Though I would suggest setting some sort of hard cap or guideline as to how many pictures there can be in a single post to reduce spam and alleviate loading issues for many people.

I used to use abload a lot too, but then I realized it wasn't very good at scaling. What is dropbox and how is it?

Dropbox is incredible. Just set up an account, where your folder is going to be, copy paste stuff into it, right click the file and dropbox gives you the public url. I'm thinking of paying for the 50GB version. It of course gives you a bunch of private folders as well; i use it as a gateway between home and work.

Thanks, I'll try it out sometime. Also do you get the Anno vibe from Settlers or is it just me?

So, is this thread for pics that are not PC versions or are PC games also included here?  If they are, does that make the dedicated PC pic thread useless?

Here is some footage of me playing some Vanilla Fighter IV from last November.  God, I was shitty back then...  Gotta love the pale white character models.

Nope, dropbox is just sort of like a user firendly FTP, you can upload anything you want ( for example I use it mostly for zbrush files which weigh 400MB each). There's no censoring, resizing, anything, just your source files :) dropbox is the shiiiiit

Fairly certain this thread is for -all- games, OP can correct me if I'm wrong. The dedicated PC pic thread devolved for various reasons.

What?  I just don't see the point of having two dedicated threads on the same thing, but one simply including other categories of the same aspect.

First make sure that your images are in the Public folder that dropbox created, since everybody can access that, everything else is for you only. Then just right click on the picture and highlight the dropbox sub-menu, then click on "copy public link". That should work.

no that was a sarcastic kinda "My god!" as in "you've just opened our eyes to a terrible, terrible fact" 
Anyway, i think it's ok to have a PC Screens Only thread, but also a Multiplatform Screens & Videos thread :) 
 
It's like, the essential one is this one, but the PC gets its own since its graphically superior

This thread should only be for non-PC screenshots. We already have a thread dedicated to PC screenshots so there's no need to post them here.

Think of it this way, this one is for people to enjoy and share screenshots and vids, the other is to bicker about what resolution and graphical options the game is running at.

I think if you read over the past 4-5 pages of the PC thread you'll realize why this thread was made. I am going to be posting my screenshots in this one.

That thread has devolved into arguments and MB had to come in for a second time. So Hitman even said to close it. Just look through the last couple pages of that thread and you will see what is wrong with it.

@ATrevelan: once again you are against me and my thread. I say it stays because pc screenshots needs to be posted at higher resolutions than this thread. It's pc games, they are high rez usually. This thread should have a limit on the resolution because it's mostly console games, it makes sense. MB told me he won't close my thread and I should continue to just post screenshots there and probally not talk.

@ATrevelan: I made it show up... with MAGIC!
 
HTML MAGIC THAT IS! >D
 
Insert an HTML block then write this:

<a href="direct image link here"><img src="same link here" width="800"></img></a>
 
The link this case would be: 
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8942248/Screenshots/TWFC%202010-07-10%2016-48-09-46.jpg
Which is what you tried to post earlier.
 
You can change the width according to how big you want the embedded image to show up.

From what I've seen so far, most of the PC screenshots in this thread link to their fullsize versions, so that aspect isn't a problem. There is also more diversity due to videos and console contributions.

@HitmanAgent47:  I mean if somebody posted a screenshot and they wanted to go back and look for it they'd have a hard time finding it. Also, that thread was for pc-only and thinking about it we don't really need two separate screenshot threads. Whether or not a screenshot is good or interesting doesn't rely on the platform.

" @mracoon: Our screenshots are saved on our desktop or hardrive, we don't need to look for screenshots again anyways. I guess the pc section of the forum will be very dull again. I mean every major site has a pc screenshot thread. I would like to post a X900 rez screenshot here, so others can see how sharp the textures are, now i can't, also not everyone will click on my 1080p screenshots if I use that html code. However if that's the way it has to be, then whatever, it's below every other site now since they don't put such a limit on pc screenshots. That's all I have to say, i'll post screenshots now. I'll start here then. "

Can you please, PLEASE stop with your ignorance of graphics while feigning to defend PC gaming, it's cringe-worthy. Avoiding the spamming of native res (i.e. the LEAST sharp) pictures that don't even fit in these forums at all is one of the reasons we started a new thread in the first place. Also other sites have a PC screenshot thread, we now have a PC screenshot PLUS console PLUS video thread, if anything we're above; assuming you're using the awful metric of the existence of a certain type of thread to as a barometer for a site's worth.  
 
Also, stop trolling with your pics. In your old thread you demonstrated that you were fully aware of how to resize or link to full versions of photos, you're intentionally posting them as small as possible now as some sort of bad joke.
