GreedFall is a piece of art (image heavy)

[texhnolyze]

Right from the moment I'm creating my character, I knew that this is going to be something special...

Yes, it's from a small studio with a limited budget, yes, there are a lot of assets reuse, and yes, the textures aren't actually high-res. But man, the art direction in GreedFall is truly sublime. No matter whether it's a cutscene or gameplay, I'm constantly in awe when playing this game. The lighting and color filters do this game wonders, it's like a piece of art. And I can't stop taking screenshots.

Some of these screenshots are taken with a tool developed by Jim2point0 so kudos to him. Special thanks to Queen Of Hunting for most of these too.

If you have some more screenshots to share, by all means do post away.

 

[Fat4all]

i got some Witcher vibes more than once when playing for a bit

it's pretty as heck

 

[GinoFelino]

Great shots! Keep em coming

 

[Buff Beefbroth]

Great shots. Stop making me want this game more than I already do. There have been tons of games in the past few weeks I already want to buy. Money and time is finite!

 

[Rei no Otaku]

I have been consistently impressed while playing this game. I'm so glad someone picked up the mantle that Bioware just left on the floor.

 

[Blade24070]

Will definitely play this at some point down the line, as soon as I clear more of the backlog and it's on sale.

 

[Garlador]

Shameless stolen from the Greedfall reddit.

 

[texhnolyze]

Here's a couple of gameplay screenshots from me.

 

[Derktron]

These screenshots are amazing.

 

[Servbot24]

Every game is art, only some of them are good art :)

Those screens look nice!

 

[Thrill_house]

Yeah it is beautiful and actually runs really well! I'm pretty happy for spiders. I like alot of their games even though they are kind of rough and not for everyone but I feel they kind of nailed it with this one.

 

[BeeDog]

Wow, this looks so much like I remember Risen (1) looking.

 

[mjc]

It looks absolutely gorgeous, I'm looking forward to buying it sometime and checking it out. Just too much to play right now.

 

[Fortinbras]

I really want to play this game. It looks really good. For some reason I get motion sickness whenever I watch a gameplay video. I only have this problem with some VR games, this is actually the first time I'm having issues with camera shake in a normal video game.

 

[skeezx]

haven't played it yet but constantly impressed with what i've seen (visually). if a rough budget/production analogue would be something like Elex then they really hit it out of the park, at passing glance i'd assume it was one of the newer Assassin's Creed games or something

 

[cgcg]

How does it run on base PS4? What's the resolution?

 

[Vyrance]

Absolutely beautiful game. All the scenery is top notch

 

[M. Wallace]

Gorgeous game indeed. Runs pretty good on the 1X.

 

[texhnolyze]

From what I've seen and read, it's native 1080p at 30fps. Performance seems solid all around. I watched a lot of footage (PS4) from the guy who streamed his early copy.

 

[Philippo]

Pretty impressed, they nailed the look they took inspiration from.
Still a couple of weeks to finish Control and then i'll jump in for sure.

 

[La Fawn Duh]

Breathtaking pictures man. Damn.

 

[R8tedm3]

Game is truly stunning! Lighting reminds me of Assassins Creed: Unity in way.

 

[misho8723]

Yep.. I love the artstyles in European RPGs (and some Japanese, like From Software games)

Agree OP. I was not prepared for how beautiful this game is, not how much I love it. I'm at 30 hours played over 4 days and I'm thinking about it when I'm not playing.
Borderlands 3 has taken my time the last 2 days but I've got to go back and finish it soon.

 

[DaciaJC]

Yep, it's quite the gorgeous game. Not surprising, since the developers mentioned they were heavily inspired by the works of certain European Romantic painters like Friedrich.

 

[Masterspeed]

It's very European. I don't know if there's a specific name for the art style.

 

[Detective]

Looks great.
Fable anyone?

 

[Deleted member 41520]

What a looker. I'm really excited to get into this game, probably in a few months.

What's mobility like? Can we clamber on all those beautiful buildings? Or is it more like Witcher 3 with pretty grounded movement?

Every game is art, only some of them are good art :)

And the quality of all art is subjective!

 

[Deleted member 1594]

I'm still not very far. Had to take a little detour over to Borderlands 3 but....

I knew right from the start I'd have to make a freecam tool for this game. Just wish I were better at taking screenshot to show it off. But there's plenty in here that do it justice.

This is what happens when you let the ToD go into the negatives (which I warned about in my guide). Looks neat... but it also looks wrong :P That wont ever happen during normal gameplay.

 

[bulletyen]

I can't believe OP would create such a thread and not think to mention any of the art/ artists that inspired the game's visual style. You're art philistines, the bunch of you.

It's very European. I don't know if there's a specific name for the art style.

Click to shrink...

Romanticism and Dutch Golden Age painting. Some that I would pick out from just looking at the game, David Caspar Friedrich, Rembrandt, Albert Bierstadt.

 

[Prolepro]

Yes.

Yes it is.

 

[Garlador]

Stuff like this makes me want an ultra-wide monitor.

 

[Aranath]

I started playing yesterday and have already put in 13 hours. I'm really loving it and a lot more than I expected. I couldn't help but take a few screenshots to send to my fiancee to show her.

Unfortunately, my 980ti gets a bit of an asskicking at 1440p. It's the first game I've had to turn the textures down from Ultra for. It instantly hits the memory limit, even at 1080p, and chugs like crazy. I eventually just set everything to high and it's been running buttery smooth ever since.

I actually had no idea at all about these. Wow, it's clear that they really took inspiration from them.

 

[Stiler]

It's very European. I don't know if there's a specific name for the art style.

Click to shrink...

There is, it's called Baroque. The devs mention this style as the inspiration for their world and art style. You can see this mentioned in their Press Kit about their world design, here on the bottom right of the image.

https://www.theartstory.org/movement/baroque-art-and-architecture/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baroque

They specifically mention both Rembrandt and Vermeer, which you can see why:

Rembrandt:

Vermeer:

https://www.google.com/search?biw=1.........0....1..gws-wiz-img.......0.tZ7iOu2vEUc

I think they nailed it, while there are obvious limitations in some areas (especially interior re-use of assets) the overall world and look is quite good. Especially the lighting which reminds me of AC: Unity's amazing lighting.

 

[Deleted member 13645]

The game is gorgeous. You can see the budget restrictions in areas, but man they nail the art and feel of the world. It makes me really want to see a big budget Spiders game, as this game makes it seem like they've really found their footing as a studio.

 

[Deleted member 3888]

Yeah they really nailed the environments even though they're working with a budget. At times the game reminds me of Dragon age origins which I adore, but with different focus and bigger/more varied environments. I'm having a good time with it.

 

[Morrigan]

I should get this game

 

[raketenrolf]

How does it run/look on the Pro?

 

[Deleted member 3888]

This game continues to look great

Gorgeous shots, Queen Of Hunting

 

[CopperPuppy]

How big is the game world? These screenshots give the impression that it's a large open world, but I've read that's not the case.

 

[texhnolyze]

Woah, the Queen is back~! :D

Click to shrink...

No, it's not a large open world. In fact, everything is split into smaller zones and you move from one to the other, just like old school up to last Gen RPGs. The closest comparison is Dragon Age Origins and Inquisition. The maps in GreedFall are not as big as Inquisition, but there are a lot of more maps in GreedFall.

 

[Lucifonz]

The art design is absolutely fantastic, love the way the game looks.

 

[Tizoc]

Yes.

Yes it is.

A bit of poison on my blade, and let's GO!
