Hopefully, the time to try is coming soon.

Although I'm not entirely sure how good it is to use Sid's edited screenshots. They look very good and vibrant, but in-game screenshots should be accurate to the in-game view in terms of colour balance etc.

I would agree that faf pictures need to be edited to be honest, not for vibrancy and etc but to try and lift the harsher blacks/whites that come with the effects and stuff. let me punch you out an example.

I'm sure anyone can create a better image but hey the original is on the right, i just played around with dumping out the saturation on the left and it feels a lil more visible to me personally, but hey what do i know. Oh btw loki textures are overscaled

Sure, it's not longer an intellectual property issue, but surely we have something more relevant to the game we're advertising?

Just adding my grain of salt to it :

So, why is this, are we doing people a disservice or worse, a busted art theft deal here?

I don't know for the client, but regarding the website image I've personally asked for the consent of the artist behind it and he gave it, so I'm going to say it's okay we use that image. It's not "FAF art", but it's supcom-related art, so it sounds good enough to me.

To prove the point, lets take a look at various FAF places and see what we use for imagery.

The website, faforever.com?

Spoiler: show

Downlords Client?

Spoiler: show

The forums?

Spoiler: show

This isn't even going into for example FAF related youtube, and stream content. Thumbnails come to mind.

So, why is this, are we doing people a disservice or worse, a busted art theft deal here?
And where is the FA imagery, are we lacking talent? tell me ze opinions.
