Ok guys tripod makes things better. It's a little squint in these photos, but I'll fix that.

Still crappy lighting conditions in my room, but they ain't bad. My blinds closed so I can play, so the only real light is coming from actual lights.

Not much to show yet, just proving I can take snaps a little less blurrier. Going to go and finally play the game, next snaps I'll take will be of actual game play.

I'm not posting anything to do with cutscenes or spoilers!

Is that Snake looking at "The Boss' " grave??

I have no idea, it doesn't give you a close up of the grave.

Probably though, as MGS3 ends in the graveyard at the Boss' grave :yes:

Audio, would it be possible if you could post those pictures in pure link form and not with tags?

So those who want to experience everything on the 12th can do that and anyone who want to see game pictures can click the links.

'Else I just gotta stay out for 6 days :(

OMG the most unexpected mini-intro to the game I would ever of thought of.

Kojima's humour (Y) :woot:

Back to you guys in about 30 mins say, after I've seen the "real" intro.

I'm not posting any spoilers though, either in images, or in my text - All I'll do is either discuss what we know, but I can spoiler tag it, and maybe show off one or two more images of actual gameplay in the 1st scene, which is what we've seen already. But if that makes it better for you no probs!

I'll post as links from now on.

I know you aren't a guy to post spoilers.

But I don't know how to explain it, I just want to have that "Wow" experience when you get the game, like the install menu you posted and the menu ( Which looks awesome ) - It's small stuff, but still adds up :)

Yeah no probs mate. I was the one being anal about spoilers earlier, so I know how it feels.

My last crop of snaps for now, I want to go play the game :laugh:

They show off in-game shots. It's crisp and smooth :woot: No spoilers at all, it's shots from the area we've all seen a 1000 times!

Also honestly, the transitions from cutscene to game play are awesomely done!

The intro to the game is brilliant, but I kind of spoiled it for myself before now anyway. I watched it online. However it doesn't compare to watching it in HD on your own TV.

All I'll say is attention to detail is nice, you notice dust and dirt on the "camera" lens if you know what I mean, it's cool.

You can turn on subtitles for in-game and cutscenes, which a lot of our users might be glad to know!

ps. I've noticed I haven't had theatre mode turned on, on my Bravia for any of the snaps - It makes things look better. Probably wouldn't show up much in these snaps though.

does it look native 1080p? scaled or what?

jaggies??

note: Your still a jammy sod! :p

It's going to be 1080p scaled (if it were native, you'd of heard by now), but at least it chooses to run in it by default - Unlike GTA4 where you have to force it, then it doesn't "feel right", like you should just let it run in what it wants.

Graphics are nice, minimal jaggies. Most things look really smooth. Frame rate seems solid. It's gotta be 30FPS, but I don't think it's capped at 30 - In other words I think it runs higher when it can.

Away for a marathon now, back later ;)

Am i on ignore or something?

Can you remap the buttons, i want aiming and shooting on triggers not shoulder buttons.

I didn't see your question first time, no need to ask if you're on ignore... :/

I don't know I haven't checked, I'll see just now.

edit: I don't think you can change specific buttons, but there's a lot to do with inverting/changing sensitivity and lock on options.

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      Why would any self-respecting intelligent person follow any recommendation by Donald's GOP administration? With almost two years of fabrications, deceit, and blatantly illegal behavior, why believe them now? They had best be gone after the November 2026 election, so we'll wait and see.
    • AltSendme 0.4.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By zikalify · Posted

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
