[edit] Cropped version

I cropped this version because Solid Snake is full of overly-tall images, and there's no important detail lost (do we need to see his knees or feet?). - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 08:39, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

The image looks out of place compared to all of the other uncropped renditions of snake. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 10:30, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Ideally, I'd rather have an actual screenshot.
If this isn't cropped, it's either huge, or too narrow to really have a proper caption. I'm not sure what to do about this. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 10:36, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
I see, how about [1] with the right half (gamespot watermark) cropped out? Also, have you considered resizing all the images at Solid Snake to some arbitrary width, so that the different scans appear to be the same size? ˉˉanetode╦╩ 10:51, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
I don't understand what you're suggesting, there. (Still loading that ginormous screenshot, for the time being). - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 10:55, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Check the new version - though it too will take a while to load :) ˉˉanetode╦╩ 10:58, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
It's hard to see his left eye, unfortunately. Is there a shot where that's more visible? - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 11:01, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Sure thing, check again. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 11:03, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Out of curiousity, what's going on in this image? It looks like he's warding off a robot tentacle with his knee. o.O That said, this should work nicely. Thanks muchly for the help with this. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 11:12, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Oh, that's a screengrab from the controversial hentai-themed part of the trailer. Don't worry, the robotic tentacle monster gets what's coming to it. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 11:19, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Uh...huh. Surprised that's not a scene with Raiden. ANYWAY, can you update the image description for this image? I'm not 100% where this image is from (Gamespot, naturally, but where/when was it released and such?). - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 11:31, 18 July 2006 (UTC)


Why can't we just stick to the full version of the render? None of the other images in the Solid Snake article is cropped. FYI, not everything has to be your way, AMIB. Jonny2x4 13:31, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
If this isn't cropped, it's either huge, or too narrow to really have a proper caption. How do you propose to handle this? - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 13:34, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
I suggest to use another screenshot in that case. There was a decent Snake screenshot used in the MGS4 article months ago. Don't know where it is right now. But I rather stick to the full render. I don't think it's too huge. Jonny2x4 13:48, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
What was the problem with the screenshot that was here? - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 13:49, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, the panoramic screenshot is better, but it runs into the opposite problem; it's either so wide it's crushing the text, or uselessly tiny. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 14:11, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Just uploaded a more radical crop, is there enough detail in the thumb? ˉˉanetode╦╩ 16:15, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
