I thought it could be nice to add some color to the board with a videogame screenshots thread, just anything you're playing or upcoming titles or whatever you like. Doesn't matter the platform or year.

For some reason it's has become a fad to add photo modes with more and more options to most new games. And for once that's actually cool. If you like to do pics it just adds another "mechanic" to the game. RDR2 is a typical example of this. Also you don't need to put any effort because the game looks gorgeous in almost every shot.

This game has an amazing art direction, any screenshot seems taken from those great sci-fi artists from the 60-70's.

Horizon is also a great game for pictures of decay, but also nature exuberance, could be one of the games I have done more screenshoots. I like that modern AAA usually put great effort into the art department, it wasn't always like that.

I've been playing Trauma Center: Under the Knife a lot lately. I thought it would be just an ordinary surgeon simulator about a young doctor and his journey through his medical career, but the game ended up being more interesting and fun than I expected. My only criticism is that I didn't like the way the story handled some heavy subjects, but that doesn't really matter.

These screenshots are really cool. I could see any of them as an illustration for a sci-fi book. Actually, they remind me of Michael Whelan's artwork for Asimov's Foundation. I particularly like the last two. Did you take these screenshots? By the way, what do you think of The Outer Worlds? I haven't played it yet but it looks interesting.

Trauma Center Under the Knife was the game that made buy a DS, I played it in some convention when the DS was something new and I got fascinated by the controls.
But when I got one I lost interest relatively quickly, I remember later misions being too hard and I had to sell the console because a bad situation. I still treasure those first memories though.

The screenshots are mine from last weeks, to me they looked similar to a wide range of classic sci-fi artists; see first pic, you can notice the inspiration.
Besides the art you will like the game if you like Obsidian and New Vegas, I would say it's a refined New Vegas with some expanded characteristics (companions reactions are really sofisticated) and some limited ones (I miss perks and most of the game is more simplified).
Since I love Obsidian and also the space exploration genre (it also makes me thing of Outlaw Star or Cowboy Bebop) it's being really enjoyable. Just wandering in your own ship seeing your companions interact and the different planets from the windows is amazing for me.
I would also say most reviews are full of shit so you shouldn't trust them, the game isn't short, it's not 25 or 30 hours but more like 60 or more if you play normal and there's lots of side quests, content and details.

Some Shenmue. No photo mode, but the scenarios are the best part of the game.

Share an interesting fact you know about space. I'll start.

Even though it's been debunked since decades I like to think there is some truth to it, especially after hearing the recordings.

I remember hearing the recordings time ago, they were really well done but the whole thing was hard to believe. I think it was just perfect for the cold war era and the whole idea that the soviets being ahead in the space race necessarily needed to have a dark side of lack of security measures and human sacrifices.
It makes me remember of another record of the astronauts of the Apolo 11 talking in shock about how they are seeing something extraordinary in the surface of the moon. I think this one mimicked Armstrong voice really well and I don't know if it was ever really debunked, it was decades old. Sadly I couldn't find it.

The James Webb Space Telescope has been successfully folded and stowed into the same configuration it will have when loaded onto an Ariane 5 rocket for launch next year.

Do you think they will be able to launch it next year?

I didn't know anything about those two brothers. Their story is captivating, but just like >>649 said, it's hard to believe. However, I'll try to read more about them later.

Anyone checking out SpaceX new capsule stuff? Pretty fun to watch the whole thing live.

I remember talking to an anon on /tower/ about how great this thread was and a shame neither of us saved it, so I thought I'd upload it now that there's a saved version.

There's a song that's really close to a certain track of Digital Devil Saga OST, also another that could be a candidate to the most dreamy RPG forest theme ever.
I wonder if this music that feels so obscure to us was actually well known in Japan at the time.

This time, a whole album.
I haven't found much last days, too much abstract/weird music that's not really my thing, except this.

I kept listening Zabadak and they have some impressive themes. It seems they are or were a folk/progressive rock band but they have a wide variety of music.

I don't know if I said it in old magicchan or tower but I had the idea of making a wide compilation of japanese music (mostly 80's), with the things I consider the best, I still have the idea and I started to download to make a pre-selection.

I missed this thread greatly. It is soo strange seeing posts I made years ago posted as if they never disappeared. Some of the YouTube links are still active! Japanese music isn't the bulk of what I listen to, but I have a soft spot for the quirky, cute stuff.
