If the glitches I circled don't bother you then you obviously find different things important than me, the things I circled are like a sting to the eye imo ruining the game for me.

Edit, in the last pic, also look at the aliasing on the vents on the hood , or the excessive white glow on the yellow/carbon colored car in the back...

Could have a lot to do with jpeg compression?

Ive seen shift in motion and it looks very good. Motion blur and heat haze can look terrible on a screenie.

Converted in paint to JPEG for both

Jpeg is fine but you need to set the compression to no more then 10%, 5% would be fine most of the time but if using just paint that comes with windows it will wreck the quality

google paint.net and that is very similar but will let you choose the compression when converting from bmp to jpeg

Play the damn game. Both in motion Shift is far better...I've spent enough days playing both to know this and I'm the type of person who's picky about details - just look at the car cleaning thread lmao.

Shouldn't really judge a game by a few screen shots as we all know has many variables when it comes to graphics!

(res, detail, AA, AF)

The scarecrow section was a bit of a mind ****!

Awesome game.

Yes, but Snowdog wasn't judging the game itself or the game mechanics. Just on graphics/related technologies - and although I will admit I haven't tried shift. From the screenshots Grid looks a bit nicer. Both look decent. But imo Grid has the edge.

Though it does depend what you are looking for.

Just started playing COD4 again. This is still one of the most amazing games I have ever played to be honest.

RE5 with the ENB Series mod

As others have said, i think that the Shift screens don't really do the game justice. When you are in a race it's much smoother.

However, Grid's graphics are really dull (colour wise) IMO.

What shift needs is super-sampling AA, as that would get red of the jagged edges and "sparklies".

GRID avoids this issue by using a blur postprocess filter, but the catch is, everything looks blurred (obviously!).

Here is a link to the mod - it is the one named Resident Evil 5 v0.076a

http://boris-vorontsov.narod.ru/download_en.htm

It only works with DX9 though. To install it just extract the ZIP file to the folder where your RE5DX9.EXE is located. Then choose the DX9 version when you run the game from your launcher.

tbh they made spoiled RE with too many cutscenes now it ruins it, should just be played as an action game sadly :<.

Resi 5 is a great game.

It has changed since resi 1 on the ps1... but thats a good thing.

If you have not played this i recomend it.

Wow looking decidedly rubbish compared to crysis. Is that on a console or something?

No, it's just the work of a hobbyist designer, not a professional game dev.

Jakstaar2007 · 26 Sep 2009 at 23:13

Some more of Shift using PhotoFiltre with a better quality compression:

Some dodgy pixels ruin some of them a bit

, such as the last one. But it's not maxed out.

Didn't say it was bad, it was excellent, it just wasn't resident evil.
