Game scenery/landscapes

[Salzella]

I love game scenery and locations, so I thought i'd dedicate a thread to screenshots of said scenery. I particularly enjoy the fantastical approach of games like Final Fantasy (though i've only ever played XII), and the sci-fi of Mass Effect, as well as older stuff like Zelda and Ico. but yeah: screenies are cool, so i'll start. discussion aswell 'natch, but everyone likes images, amirite?

 

speaking of which: some stonkingly good FFXIII shots:

Mmm, those don't look half-bad. I may just have to look into that game.

 

I really enjoyed the scenery in Tomb Raider: Underworld. Yea, some of the levels were a little drab, but the beginning of the first level and the entire second level were amazing. In the beginning of the first level...ah, what the heck. I'll put it in a spoiler tag, just in case.

 

 

In the beginning of the first level, Lara gets to swim around in some underwater ruins, which happen to have a nice little mini-reef on them. The entire sequence scared me half to death, 'cuz I'm deathly afraid of deep water and sharks, but once I finally dispatched all the dangerous critters, I had a nice look at the reef. I happened to be doing a marine biology course at the time, so I got to see just how much detail was put into the scenery.

 

The next level is set in Thailand (above water, thank goodness). As you might have guessed, it's mostly green, green, and more green. Still, it's pretty.

 

 

That was probably a completely unnecessary spoiler tag.
