Eoiii shogun palette swap 1080p#
Here are some of the screenshots I used in the last three posts:Īnd here are what those games look like when I play the game scaled up for a 1080p screen and with a graphics filter turned on:
The next decision I made that made my life more difficult was to try and grab all the images at each device's native resolution, with graphical filters turned off. But I think that would have taken just as long as getting the damn things myself. So I could have poked around the Internet trying to find the screens I was looking for, either as static images on websites or as caps from Let's Play videos on YouTube. I think this was probably the right call VG Museum has a perfectly good shot of the floating platforms in Ice Man's stage that I could have used, but it doesn't really have any other grabs of the Mega Man screens I needed, and it's got next to nothing from Mega Man X and nothing at all from the other three games I was capping. I opted to grab all the screenshots myself, rather than try and find a resource that already had them (or close enough). Some of it may be down to the tools I'm using, or just my lack of proficiency with them. I like how the whole thing turned out, but it took hours and hours to put together, and playing a game to farm for screenshots is a pretty different and altogether less fun experience than playing it just to play it. More specifically, work I don't get paid for. The other day on Brontoforumus, I described it as taking two things I enjoy doing - playing video games and talking about video games - and turning them into work. It wound up taking a lot longer to get those posts done and posted than planned, and it really wasn't a whole lot of fun. It took a long time to get them all, for a number of reasons I'll get into in a moment. So the last three posts comparing and contrasting five different Mega Man games required rather a lot of screenshots.
