40 Cinematic Landscape Stills from Video Games
As technology advances and the video game industry continues to grow, the immersive worlds that developers create become more ambitious and expansive with each release. In an effort to celebrate the ‘passion and talent behind the world’s most exciting video games’, Dead End Thrills was born.
What started as a Flickr group (that boats almost 11,000 images from over 500 members) has spawned into a curated website with full high resolution downloads. The Dead End Thrills community is highly active and their efforts are impressive.
HUD’s have been removed and there is no Photoshopping beyond subtle tweaks to gamma. More information about the images can be found on the Dead End Thrills about page and Flickr group. Below you will find a collection of the Sifter’s personal favourites.
