Is that your final entry? Not sure if gifs are allowed.
Meanwhile I am sitting on few cool tlou shots… but honestly I am afraid that by the end of the month everyone will be sick of seeing tlou shots :(
I am expecting a lot of Tlou screenies tbh, i am waiting for the Giraffe shot one tbh.

@DoctaThompson says has a game pass and personally told me he is preparing his Pepper pig masterpiece.

@IntentionalPun when are we going to see your screen shot. 😍

Was speaking to @kyliethicc last night, he was considering entering a Fifa Screenshot of Liverpool's Anfield Stadium.

I said it's probably a shit idea, but yer, what do you guys think?

Since photo mode is allowed

From Horizon Forbidden West, obviously. Taken after jumping from the top of a mountain with the glider. I believe I also got an achievement for gliding X amount of time / distance (can't remember which).

I want to see some PS gamers produce nice shots of 3rd party games. Showing all Sony 1st party games gets old. :sleep:

Just saying...

Yes, producing quality screengrabs of such beautiful games is too easy. ;)
It is easy. You guys act like every other game is crap compared to the 1st party Sony titles and that's definitely not the case.

My only issue is the lack of diversity in content. What's the point of having something like this if everybody's taking pictures in the same games, you know?

Nobody is calling third party games crap by choosing first party games for sharing screenshots.

Someone shows a nice Ghost of Tsushima screengrab and the first thing that goes through your mind is "how DARE they not take a screenshot in Elden Ring"? Maybe the fact that you get even a bit triggered at how much they enjoy those games says more about you than them.

Maybe try sharing more screenshots of other games yourself instead. You might be surprised at how much "the Sony guys" might actually enjoy them.

Just sayin'.

I think you're reading into what he's saying a bit incorrectly. There's nothing wrong with Sony's games, but when everybody is posting variations of the same things it's very boring to look at and signals a greater lack of gaming identity around here.

This is the first thing that comes to mind.

Can we please stop policing what games people enjoy and post screenshots of? If you have a problem with any of the those, you can pick another forum.

Sony makes some beautiful games.. but so do other 3rd party developers. It would be nice if we all showed some love to some of the other developers since some have great looking games as well.

We all know who the big Sony fans are here. Me posting shots of 3rd party games is status quo for me. I literally meant some of the Sony gamers being proud of other games that aren't 1st party Sony games.

BUT I digress... it was just a thought I wanted to mention. Not meant to be argued.
