Support NeoGAF

When we announced the GeForce GTX 1080 and GeForce GTX 1070, the world’s fastest and most advanced graphics cards, we unveiled several new technologies designed to improve and enhance your games and experiences. Of those, NVIDIA Ansel drew the most attention, offering gamers a powerful, easy-to-use camera that could capture unique, professional-grade 2D, 360° and Virtual Reality 360° screenshots on GeForce GTX graphics cards.

Today, we’re releasing NVIDIA Ansel for EA™ DICE™’s Mirror’s Edge™ Catalyst. Capture personally-framed freecam screenshots, adjust the field of view and rotation of the screen, add optional Instagram-style filters, and save to shareable filetypes with a single click. At any point during gameplay hit the Ansel hotkey and you’ll be able to capture stunning screenshots that were previously impossible to frame and snap.

To capture your own unique Mirror’s Edge Catalyst screenshots using NVIDIA Ansel:

• Download and install our latest Game Ready driver from GeForce Experience or GeForce.com
• Open Origin™ and download the new Mirror’s Edge Catalyst game update
• Play Mirror’s Edge Catalyst and press Alt+F2 during gameplay to open the NVIDIA Ansel interface
• Reposition the camera using WASD, U, J, and left mouse (hold shift to accelerate movement), or use a controller (D-Pad navigates the Ansel UI, ‘A’ on Xbox controllers takes screenshot), change Ansel options as desired, click “Snap”, and open your “Pictures” folder in Windows to view the results

I hoped that Witcher 3 will be included too but i guess we will need to wait a bit more for that.

This is your friendly reminder that Mirror's Edge Catalyst came out, but I still hear crickets. I know it was 50% off already, but I'm gonna wait it out and see what Winter sales do to that price.

i always find funny how the have to put the "tm" or copyright symbols in every word:

EA™ DICE™’s Mirror’s Edge™ Catalyst

About topic:
I want to believe they will do the same in future titles? i mean, this could be a test to see how it goes?

 

[CaptainSmirnov]

Does this let us take higher than native res shots as well?

Origin tho

Super Resolution

Capture your shot in super resolution for the most detailed images and perfect edges. Capture up to a 4.5-Gigapixel image, or 32 times your game resolution.

If it's the version shown at their last conference, it should let you take 4 gigapixel+ shots.

 

[diaspora]

Wait... why wasn't this built into the game? Most of these features were already in Mass Effect 1-3.

 

[CHC]

Awesome. Is this the first implementation of it in a game so far? I know they hyped it by showing ME, Witcher III, No Man's Sky, and The Witness, but so far as I can tell it's not functional in any of those yet.

I think it sounds like a great tool. I don't own ME yet but this is a good reason to consider it.

EA™ DICE™’s Mirror’s Edge™ Catalyst

I can't™ understand™ your accent™

I have to say though this is pretty neat, especially the high resolution stuff. Can't wait to see what the community creates with these tools.

Based on leaked 1060 review guide W3 support should come by the end of this month.

Game is a lot of fun. Easily worth $30.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Guess I'll fire up ME then.

50%? What? Where? Game is currently 33% off on Origin, which isn't exactly a good deal, considering the game was 60 bucks originally.

Goddamnit. I'm waiting for a drop to 40 bucks for the retail version. This needs to happen. I'm not paying 50€ for a PC game.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Is this the first game to use this, or are there any others?

This is the first one. New ones will come later.

 

[vazel]

Good to see Quicktime VR making a comeback. I hope this feature is well supported.

 

[dex3108]

Did anybody tested this?

 

[michaelius]

Nice - need this for Witcher 3

 

[SnakeLinkSonic]

Been playing around with it. Catalyst's implementation is essentially just a freecam right now. No super resolution or depth of field tweaking. You can do 360 and stereo shots. Not much else.

Supposedly those will launch with The Wild Hunt, but I guess I don't mind playing around with this for now.

 

[jediyoshi]

Unless I'm missing something, looks like you can only tileshot 360 shots. File take up to a gig at 8192x4096, but exports as a jpg

 

[chrominance]

GTX1070/80 series only, or can the 970 join this party?

EDIT: Geforce page says "NVIDIA GeForce GTX GPUs dating back to the 600 Series support NVIDIA Ansel." SWEET.
