Because I want to make a calendar of some sort. I'm looking for large screenshots with as little UI and as few characters visible as possible. Just landscapes, like one might see in a photo calendar of actual lighthouses.

Please only post screenshots that you take yourself, so I can credit you if I use them.

Here are some that I have so far:

realMyst:

Samorost 2:

Dear Esther:

To The Moon:

The Five Cores:

If somebody could provide nice, similar screenshots of the lighthouses in The Wind Waker and Super Mario Sunshine, that would be lovely, as well as any others that I haven't thought of.

Edit: This thread has a bunch of examples of lighthouses in games, but I'd like new screenshots when possible

Oh that's lovely. Can you go inside the lighthouse in the game?

That Pokemon lighthouse is silly

World of Warcraft has multiple lighthouses. I don't have an active subscription to the game, so I can't take any screenshots though.

EDIT: Guild Wars 2

Isn't cool enough to have a signature.

I suppose old games with 2D interface (bird's eye POV) is a no in this case?

Some Worms games have had Lighthouses as a part of the foreground and background, I've got no worms games installed unfortunately so I can't show previews.

hey LH I could build a lighthouse in Minecraft and take a screenshot of that. Would that work for you?

I also thought of HL2, but I'm an hour late because I had too much fun playing HL2...
So here's a bunch more shots in case you want to get off on them or something http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/7656 ... reenshots/
Yes, you go inside and fight an airship.

There's another lighthouse outside the hotel in GTA Vice City, but I don't have that on PC.

I don't know where you would get a decent pic, but every golden sun game revolves around lighthouses.

Could anybody get me a good shot of the lighthouse from wind waker? Preferable a first-person shot where the UI isn't obscuring anything

The first one is the only one I'd imagine usable, but it still contains a character.

I actually like this one. Did you take these? The backgrounds are static so if you move the character away from that spot I could composite the images together to isolate the background.

Somebody pleeeease make me Wind Waker and Super Mario Sunshine pictureeees

how far into the game is the wind waker lighthouse and would a picture of a TV screen be acceptable?

The lighthouse is actually the windmill/ferris wheel after you hit it with a fire arrow or something. So however long it takes to get to have a fire arrow. It's been a long time since I've played it.

And no a photo of the TV screen wouldn't really work for me. I like the idea of doing it with a GC emulator because it'd be so clean and high-res. A direct feed screenshot from the TV would be okay if somebody had one of those video adapters, but an emulated shot like this would be so much more awesome

Windwaker graphics scale very well to any large resolution, so you can play it at any massive resolution it was never intended for and it looks amazing. The sprites not so much so, as seen in the UI.

I took it from a YouTube video. If you have time, I could ask someone with the game to take a screenshot of it.

I have the game; if anyone has a save file I can take pix. Or maybe use a walkthrough? I'm bad at those kinds of games

I'll gather some cool lighthouses from WoW

Westfall (Southwestern part of Westfall, called the Westfall Lighthouse

Gilneas (Theres two of them)

Northwestern part of Gilneas

Southeastern part of Gilneas

Dustwallow Marsh (This one seems to surround Theramore Isle.)

All I can find for now

I did mean Grim Fandango. Though I wouldn't mind getting a Dolphin emulator up and running for potential stream purposes, so I might look into that.

I'll get the Grim Fandango lighthouse pix shortly

EDIT: I actually can't install Grim Fandango on a 64-bit windows machine; SETUP won't launch. I'll have to run it on my old XP machine, and that'll take more effort (I keep it inside a cupboard where the CD tray won't open)

EDIT EDIT: Neither of the CD drives on my old computer work now

why is this so difficult

EDIT EDIT EDIT: Okay it's actually impossible by default on x64 but the Internet saves the day again idk how long this'll take but I'll get there

okay LH I can't get you the Fallout 3 lighthouse after all, I got the game working again but it unhooks input every 3-10 minutes which requires a force-quit and restart to resolve which makes the game p much unplayable

if anyone has FO3 and the DLC for it (the one with the tribals that you take the ferry to get to) there's a lighthouse there

except that your screenshots are pictures of what appears to be a blood elf paladin, not lighthouses.

Heard you wanted some pictures of the lighthouse from Wind Waker? Dolphin is on the way to help!

WARNING: Huge images.

SPOILER

Also, if you want images of the lighthouse during day, I have pictures of those too.

I also went a little overboard and made a lot of wallpapers, if anyone wants a link to album, just ask me.

Hooray! Thank you.

I want a link to the album!

If you could get a nice shot of the lighthouse in Super Mario Sunshine, I could use that one too. If not, that's fine, the Wind Waker one is the one I was really hoping for. In any case, now I think I'll be able to make my calendar in time for the new year!

I could try to get the lighthouse in Sunshine, I'm sure sunshine would look just as good in dolphin. I probably won't be able to do it without Mario in the picture, so I'll have to work at it.

I made a lighthouse in Minecraft. I can take a picture of it for you if you want.

Here's a video in case you're interested:

The golden thing at the top was my mom's idea when we (with my little brother, who helped build this) showed her the lighthouse. She thought it'd be a nice addition.
