Screenshots

You don't really need the left side / right side closeups unless you're actually using them to say something. Also, you'll have an easier time thinking of captions if you try to find something to look at (which is my personal rule for taking screenshots), pose in front of, or do something with the weapon. For example, pose with the weapon to show off the right sight and then reload showing the left if you want to do that, which lets you just note "this is the left side" to segue into "behold as Nate does something silly." Then have Nate do the silly thing in front of a skeleton and say the skeleton is supervising :P Evil Tim (talk) 21:57, 7 October 2015 (EDT)

I use the different close-ups to simply show the gun. Sure, it's more fun if you have something "happening" (so to speak) in the pic, but it's also good to just have a few screenshots simply showing the gun without any other "noise" in the picture, that's how i do this atleast. I haven't gotten to Uncharted 2 yet so i could try something more entertaining there, but we'll see. It's not exaclty a rule to have a more "fun" screenshot.--AnActualAK47 (talk) 05:18, 8 October 2015 (EDT)

Eh, if there's nothing happening in the shot and nothing wrong with the model, I don't really see why there needs to be a shot of it, is all. :) Evil Tim (talk) 08:00, 8 October 2015 (EDT)

So you can see what the gun looks like in-game? Not trying to sound like an ass but how can you miss such an obvious point? I would say that simply showing the weapon, as it looks like in game, with no fluff or anything, is a good thing as it just shows how th gun looks! I'm repeting my self here but that's what happens man.--AnActualAK47 (talk) 10:08, 8 October 2015 (EDT)

Eh, I just think you can do that just as well without zooming right in on it. Also, isn't there a better shot of the AGS-17 when Eddie is talking to them after Nate has pulled Elena up? I seem to recall there's a shot with it behind them. Evil Tim (talk) 16:15, 8 October 2015 (EDT)

I've screwed around quite a bit with the photo mode and the amount of magnification you see is all you get. As for the AGS-17, can't say i recall any better angle on it, maybe i missed it :/--AnActualAK47 (talk) 16:34, 8 October 2015 (EDT)

There's a couple of closer views: here and here are pretty good shots. Evil Tim (talk) 00:45, 9 October 2015 (EDT)
