I'm looking, for an online game that has the best graphics possible.
Sometime ago, I posted needing someone to make a green screen map for me.

Well basically JA just doesn't cut it for the type of special effects I'm doing with my movies.

For newbies to the matter - what I'm pretty much doing is using a 1 color green map to do my special effects. I'm recording a few things here and there with the map and overlaying them onto my movies. But JA doesn't have the graphics to look like the real deal.

I need an online game, with the best graphics possible. Can I get anyones reccomendations?

[Kenshin]

im not sur ebut i heard ragarok online or silroad are aposed to be good

[Chantelle]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R

Not played it myself But I hear thats very high graphics intesiveness..

Of course if you have DX 10 it may be worth looking what whats availabe.

[Darfin]

DX 10 0.0

..

Dang...

Laptop doesn't have the balls to have THat put it.
I forgot to mention that it can't be some zombie or WW2 first person shooter.

It has to be like an online universe. Like JA is pretty big. Isn't exactly an online universe, but its hella customizable

Like, for example. if GTA SA had better graphics and online capability, then I would use that.

[Soulreaper]

ahh COD2 best game ever its WWII FPS i only play it on low but the graphics on high r alsome

[Chantelle]

Thats fair enough.. You just said like teh latest and best graphics..

I mean JA and even COD2 are very dated.

San Andreas is pretty old aswell..

Have you seen those DX10 shots I stuck up? They look pretty good. But we will have to wait

[Chantelle]

just as a suggestion then by the way if your looking for a mid range why dont you consider like

Guild wars or WoW... IMHO GW has better graphics...

Its a pitty it has to be online... I think Oblivion thats a large world with amazing aesthetics I think.

[Soulreaper]

ya i kno but there isnt any WWII 2 games that are new so cod2 is the best choice for a WWII game atm

[FlapJack23]

... I think Oblivion thats a large world with amazing aesthetics I think.

I second oblivion, it's a one player game, so you don't need to worry about all the noobs running around and screwing up your shots. Also with the settings on high it is beautiful! besides, the world is gigantic, you could take 500 screenshots in there, and have not one be the same!

[Darfin]

Well thats just the thing Flapp. I need an online game so I can make a green screen type map.

[Darko]

Depends on what kind of graphics Darf.

Do you want special effects? Fighting moves? Bombs? Faces?
Terrain? Magic?

Different games are better at different kinds of graphics.
Specify?

[Darfin]

Mostly characters, and explosions and stuff like that.

[Soulreaper]

hmm explosions well u can get C4 in BF2 and blow up bridges and tanks and stuff and nice explosions to

Green screen.
Green screen.
Green screen.

I need a green screen map so I can record the explosions and stuff, then overlay it onto video.

And I need a game with hella nice looking explosions

[Soulreaper]

wtf is a green screen im a retard when it comes to stuff like this

[Darfin]

Lol. A green screen is a tool for filmmaking. If theyre going use a computer generated enviorment/background, then theyll film the actors standing in front a genormous green screen, or sometimes the room will be just green.

This allows them to go in and completely take away the green. Then they can overlay the actors or whatever onto another video.

This is pretty much the same thing. I had Aki make me a map that was completely green, so I can overly JA footage onto live video.

But JA doesn't have the graphics. It all looks fake and corny when I do it.

[Tricky]

Doesn't necessarily have to be green, that's just common. Obviously, if people are in green shirts and pants, they'll use a pink screen. The idea is to take an obnoxious bright color that isn't common in a scene and use it as the backdrop so it can be more easily erased and super imposed onto the generated scenery.

[Soulreaper]

i knew wat it was in movie buisness just not in games

[RaVeN]

In the Industry we call it "Chroma Keying"

And a bluescreen (one word) is still more common than green or any other color screen.

There is also "Luminance Keying" which is using a designated brightness as being transparent instead of a given color.

You can, however, combine both "Chroma Keying" and "Luminance Keying" incase someone is wearing the same color shirt as the screen. You can tell the computer program to take away blue color at a certain brightness. Then just light your subject either brighter or darker pending on what you want.

...Or just give them a new shirt

[Chantelle]

SO let me get this straight..

You want a game which has the latest top graphics on your laptop which cannot handle new / latest best graphics (for all intent purposes laptops are not very good for gaming).

on a multiplayer game which must have a massive world and not contain any green... and must include explosions, while maintain the best graphics...

(little britain joke pending)

MARGRET... MARGRET!!!

Seriously though, your not making a massive level of sense.. why does it need to be online, why green.. and if you cann run high speed graphics maybe you shoudl use a desktop which will have the omph!

[Darfin]

Alright. Lets start fresh.
I'm not using my laptop.
The reason why it must be online is so I can make a GREEN MAP for it.
Using the green map, I'll have a few friends doing some stunts or explosions in there.
I'm gonna record all of this with Fraps.
I'm then going to use Chroma Key to take out the green and overlay it onto my movie.

Since I can't really blow things up in real life, or I can't animate too well, I'm gonna use the game explosions and crap as my special effects.


Sorry for the confusion

And Ravens right. It doesn't have to be green, but I'm just saying that as an example so (hopefully) everyone will know what I'm talking about.

If theres any more confusion, heres what I posted a long time ago.

That was before I realized that JA doesn't have good enough graphics to be doing this.

[Guardian.old]

green screen is used for movie making where you can put two separate pieces of film together. like explosions on the green screen and the film where the green originally was. Got that soul?

[FlapJack23]

Yeah, but there is no way you will be able to find an area completly green in an online game. You need OBLIVION! Make yourself the map you want, then get like 4 different characters and own it up by yourself. Or get your friends to comeover and play your game. There is no way an MMO will meet your standards.

[Darfin]

For the last damn time.
I don't need to find a green area. I'm going to make a completely green map.
And Oblivion isnt for PC as I know it. So how would I record?

EDIT: Sorry man. Bad mood today.

[Chantelle]

Oblivion is for the PC, in fact it runs best on the PC.
