SCIV HD Screenshots and Videos Samples

Horrendously late in obtaining my copy of SCIV, it is inevitable that I go off and present some very initial HD sample screenshots and videos of the game, FINALLY!

Screenshots

Since the screenshots are going to be significantly large due to their HD aspect, I'm putting them on this post as thumbnails, which can be clicked upon to view the full resolution.

[Screenshots removed cause they are too outdated]

Note that 1080i is not a native nor supported resolution of SCIV, hence it's been upscaled in this case, causing subtle blurriness compared to 720p.



Videos

[Videos removed cause they are too outdated]

I skipped doing 1080i as any form of deinterlacing would look horrible with such a high resolution.

Note: A stout processor and graphics card are mandatory in order to smoothly playback progressive HD video. If you find the videos skipping or hanging, do not attempt to blame the video, blame your processor and graphics card not being adequate enough. VLC Player is recommended to play the videos.

HD streaming versions:

[Videos removed cause they are too outdated]

Both of the above is hosted on GameVee.com atm, but it's perhaps not the best free HD streaming sharing site quality and speed wise. If you happen to have any suggestions of a better site/host to upload the videos to, I'd love to hear them.



To summarize, these are sample screenshots and videos done in preparations for the new SCIV CaS site. They will undoubtedly undergo several changes, but you can expect all new screenshots and videos on the the SCIV CaS site in this quality. Read more about the upcoming SCIV CaS site titled Soul Gateway ~ Another Stage Of History ~ here.

If there any comments about the presented media, feel free to post them in this thread. If a feasible amount of people responds and feels highly interested in these, I'll open HD CaS Screenshots Requests for SCIV on the forums.

Now that's.... what you call QUALITY! Nice works! Though still jagged, I can see the quality is promising. Keep on optimizing!

HD Video Issue
Since I have no problem viewing a 720p video previously and this one's lagging in a bad way, I suggest that you use another codec. If my P4 2.8 GHz combined with R9550 cannot play it well, I can't imagine what will happen to lesser PCs.

Playing back H.264 HD videos will no doubt require a stout processor and graphics card, like I indicated. They play smooth on Intel Duo Core 2 machines, even one with a integrated Intel graphics chip. P4 isn't so great, it stalled on the P4 machine I attempted them on.

These are just freshly captured videos though, so I have not encoded them to another format with less bitrate and/or an inferior codec. I want to maintain the quality as best as possible so I left it alone for observation. Course I will have to intensely play with encoding options so it's accessible for everyone.

You can try CoreAVC and see if it helps plays the video better.

Oh, and about jaggies, the PS3 isn't free from jaggies just so you know (look at official screenshots). Don't think I can do anything about them.

Amazing quality. :o

Nice custom Cassandra and custom character too, but Soul Gateway as a name? Were you trying to prove that these screenshots are actually yours if someone questions its origins? :hmm:

Didn't bother with the videos cause I have a pretty crappy PC and I doubt it will even play one second of the videos.

Damn, my secret is out! Oh noes! >_<

But yes, that's partially correct. Other thing is that I was out of names and that CaS was just a test subject.

Hey C.T by the way...are you using HDMI between the PS3 and TV?

I saw this video that lets you know how to improve the image quality of PS3 games on HDTVs.

Only when I'm actually playing the game and not capturing screenshots/videos yes. For capturing I connect all component cables, one to capture box, another to TV.

Hmmm... if we count playing on COre 2 Duo is smooth, and nowadays laptops have Core 2 Duo, I guess it won't be a problem. However, seriously my PC had no problem plating a 720p videos. Maybe because the fps is high.

Very professional quality and beautiful captures. :)

Makes me super jealous I don't own either a PS3 or SCIV yet! >_<
