Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

No one's ever going to believe me, but this was my screenshot.

1280x1024, taken in ePSXe, with 4x antialiasing and smooth texture filtering.

I posted this exact screenshot on 4chan's /v/ board, after someone had posted a similar screenshot at a lower resolution.

Nice to see that it's making the rounds.

I have this on my computer somewhere from a long time ago. Good job!

Oh don't get me wrong, I didn't have the idea to take the picture- I just got frustrated because someone had posted a version of this at 640x480 with no filtering, and I thought it could look better.

It was just sheer chance that, in my picture, the dog was a LOT closer than it was in the original- in the original, the dog was jumping into frame, and you couldn't see anything from his shoulder down.

Ah well, thats the version I first saw and laughed at. So thanks all the same. Can't remember where I saw it now though.

I've seen this reported many a time. Not too shabby.

One of the only games I have ever found truly terrifying. I remember the demo that came with Metal Gear Solid, as a kid I had never played anything so atmospheric and had to get my hands on the full game. The thick fog, the heartbeat vibrating the controller, the static from the radio, the unbelievably creepy monsters...

Brilliant game at the time.

That dog is rather high in the air, may be he's just excited to see him?

Excuse for Silent Hill 1 chat accepted.

The first two games are such PS1 classics, and it's kinda sad that people get the impression that because it had a lot of sequels, that the original won't be worth playing. It's actually a unique experience in its own right - very good game! :3

Silent Hill 2 was PS2 but, yes, classic.

[–]suspicious_glare 0 points1 point ago

Woah, my mental chronology of this series is so messed up. I recall SH2 not looking all that good - but I suppose no PS2 game as amazingly beautiful.

Thanks for the correction, now my universe feels inverted :o

[–]Brad3000 0 points1 point ago

SH2 actually does look surprisingly good still IMO. I made my wife play through some of it on my ex-roommate's OG X-box about two years ago and it wasn't one of those "god, what were we thinking." type moments you get when playing some old games. I'm very excited for the HD rerelease, I can finally finish making her play it.

Ahh I am tempted to go back too. It was a really good game - I found the later ones to lose the plot somewhat beginning with 3. The key to the enjoyability of the first two was the exploration of the town, not just claustrophobic interiors. The only issue I had with SH2 was it was slightly more restrictive around town than SH1.

What is this from? This looks so incredibly familiar, but I can't think of it.
