DGSotW Week 25: Black and White

[Ryzza5]

Congratulations to Apu for winning the Driving Game Screenshot of the Week last week (and the week before that). This weeks theme is chosen by Clarence.

 

 

* Stick to the implied theme (don't look for technical loopholes)

* Images must not exceed 2048kB, and be at least 990px wide by 340px tall.

* Each person who enters must cast a vote in the same week to remain eligible. You may not vote for yourself.

* Winning image must not be of TDU2 as you risk account suspension.

* Winner picks the next theme, unless winning consecutively, in which case the runner up decides.

* Winner has 48h to PM a new theme to me or another member of staff if I'm away, if they fail to meet this then the theme will be a free round.

* Competition is limited to games on all platforms of any age that are classified as driving/racing games. (i.e. FPS games that have cars in them wouldn't be eligible). Please mention what game your screenshot is from.

* Minor non-enhancing editing permitted (cropping, addition of your name, etc) is permitted, as long as the actual screenshot isn't tampered with. Just like all these other comps.

 

 

 

 

Week 25: Black and White

You have until the end of the following Friday (May 30) to get your entries in.

Thanks to all who voted for me. :bananajump:

Nuh uh, Ry. You know I said the entire picture in black and white :P

That means monochromatic.

[Eudemon]

Just to be completely clear, this removes selective-colouring entries too yeah? Pure Grayscale/Desaturated/Monochromatic is all that's allowed.

Correct.

[Ryzza5]

Help us out Clarence, what games besides TDU[2] have a photomode feature that has a B&W option? Otherwise it would have to be a PS job.

[Ozzmcom]

Gt and fm4 has it, can't remember if horizon had it altho it should.

Good point however most games allow you to tweak the colour/saturation so just lower that and it's the same thing, or if not possible would it be ok for people to post the entries they want with a request to B&W it?

[Paladin Skylark]

Most games have the option. GT, Forza and TDU - 3 of the major entries into this category. Even NFS has it iirc.

Photo has to be black and white, monochromatic. Whether you do it on PS or in-game is up to you.

[Ozzmcom]

I think even ms paint has black and white option

[Ryzza5]

We'd have to make an exception in the rules. If you do edit a photo then also post the original here.

[TimBud]

Going to try a Timbud :p

 

Whats a TimBud? :)

[Ryzza5]

Whats a TimBud? :)

You're a TimBud ;)

 

 

...and the reason for rule #1 :lol:

[TimBud]

Seriously! :fp:

That's stupid.

Should never have asked.

:(

[Ryzza5]

lol, no you shouldn't have. I'm sure being 'a Ryzza' would be even worse though :)

[TimBud]

At least it got you finally had the decency to my face rather than behind my back.

:p

[Ryzza5]

As long as you know the whole thing is just a joke/running gag and does not actually represent any views or opinions. :glomp:

 

And for the record I am properly colour blind so my original entry is black and white to me; all I meant by 'a TimBud' was taking a creative risk with a photo that Clarence may not have wanted entered.

 

As it happens I only have about 3 B&W photos, each of them being very old (and rubbish) TDU1 photos which is why I haven't replaced it yet.

[TimBud]

No harm done… cheers matey ;)

 

Was just the first time I've heard it. I'm more than happy for people to take the piss as long as I'm semi there to give some back :cheeky:

[Guest MrLolololXD]

Ryzza's entry looks black and white to me too....? What's the problem with it?

 

Note; I am also colour-blind.

Can't remember the last time I entered one of these comps :hmmm:

Oh, didn't read the rules properly, it says non-enhancing... :fp: I'll leave it here anyways.
