Durante pls: Metal Gear Rising PC won't support higher resolutions than 1080p
- Thread starter angular graphics
- Start date
If Capcom can handle it, Platinum should be able to figure it out.
At least most places allow you to cancel preorders, Steam included.
I'll rebuy when the resolution thing is fixed and it's on sale again.

Maybe the graphics options (in game) only go to 1080p but you can get higher from an ini or cfg or something?
Shouldn't affect me as I have a 1680x1050 120hz monitor but obviously sucks for people with monitors about 1080p which seem quite common among people who end up actually buying a lot of PC games.

Hahaha yeah I get you but do you really need to buy this now? If you're concerned about how it's going to turn out what's wrong with waiting? If another Konami publish PC game, Castlevania is anything to go by there will be discounts after the initial release and of the same or better offerings in discounts as well.
Nothing wrong with sitting on the fence.

I don't think everyone is rushing for the pitchforks and calling it a shit port just yet. People are preemptively calling for a fix from the only hero that brings it because what PG has said isn't exactly reassuring.
A resolution lock, even at 1080p, isn't good nor cool on PC.
Konami works on this, not PG afaik

It's PG.

PG is handling the port, ToraShiro confirmed it.
Settling for 720p on PC for a 3D game is kinda BS though. What's the point other than lacking a PS3 or 360?
Only a 1080p 60hz monitor so it's not like I can go higher natively and I swear super sampling introduces input lag, but I would be concerned for the future... If it weren't for the fact it'd probably get fixed one way or the other by the time it matters for me.
Arbitrarily limiting the internal resolution of a 3D game is a bad port, full stop.
There's almost no chance you play PC games. If you did, you'd know that stuff like this practically never happens because it's so goddamned easy to allow for ultra-high resolutions in a 3D game.
to be honest, 1080 is old news. It maybe a new and exciting thing for next gen consoles, but many pc gamers are used to higher resolutions, up to 3 monitors and stuff like that.

It's not shit. It's most definitely unacceptable though.

A PC game released in 2014 that only support resolutions up to 1080p? Yep that's a bad port right there, there are many people who have higher resolution monitors and that number is only going to grow, this port is outdated before it's even released based on these comments.
To put it in simple terms, this game is unplayable if you only have a monitor that's higher than 1080p.
Exactly. I don't play on PC to make statements like "Well, it could be 720p, so it's not that bad!" That is a very damaging attitude that one should have towards PC ports.

This is a lot more common than you think. You're foolish if you think Durante can fix all of them. Give him a break.

I did not think it was much of a deal until capcom patched in support for resolutions higher than 1080p in RE: Revelaitons. It was night and day.
Maybe for Windows 95 games, sure.

It actually really isn't.
What part of "Believe" confuses you?
There is no such thing as 'good enough' when it comes to resolution for 3D games on PC. It should always be variable. People will want to play this on 4k monitors in a year or two, and it will look like trash scaled up from 1080p.

C'mon guys, don't scare them off. I want Vanquish and Bayo on PC.
haha, I was hoping someone would get it.

Even if you have "only" a 1080p monitor you might like to supersample and downscale which if I understand correctly limiting the game like this prevents.
You'd likely be able to smoke this game at 4k with just two of those cards.

At least its not 720/30. Object limit is reasonable, but this arbitrary resolution limit is curious.
Hahaha oh I would hardly say everyone but if you go back the last page and just search of the word shit there are already matches. That's only going to grow by the end of the day. And still by then no one outside of Platinum or Konami has even played it.
As I said before if you're concerned about the quality of the port why don't you wait. If you've preordered it already on Amazon or Steam you can cancel and get a refund. Also like I pointed out when Konami released Castlevania on Steam they had a similarly large early bird discount but also had subsequent discounts in the months after release so it's not like by not buying now you're missing out on a lifetime offer or a sale of the century.
As I said I'm reserving judgement until I've actually played it.
Nope. Not allowed.
i don't particularly agree that one negative aspect creates a bad overall port, especially when said port has a number of features over the console version and the stark fact that nobody has played it yet
it's platinum's first pc port, they're one of the few japanese studios that are looking to get invested in the pc space, and i personally think it's worth showing support to so they can continue to release pc games in the future

The latest call of duty release didn't support resolutions higher than dual link.
Why would anyone need to play it? Haven't you read the whining? 1080p max is now considered unplayable apparently.

Does it matter? No. Its still a insanely fun game.

I'm seriously blown away by the number of people going berserk in this thread over a resolution cap.
I mean it's obviously not a good thing but refusing to buy a great game because it's not optimized for high end monitors is kinda bonkers to me. Do you guys just base all of your purchases on image quality?
Personally I'm happy with 1080p and 60 fps although I can understand why some people would prefer more. It's just strange how many people in this thread are claiming it's 'shit' based on this. Time will tell whether this is actually a good port.
Also, not trying to be inflammatory but this 'Durante pls" stuff every time a PC port doesn't have every single feature and optimization for your monster rigs is getting pretty fucking stale.

He's probably talking about the textures being optimized for a 1080p resolution. If it's really locked to play at 1080p max it will be easily modded by the community.

It should be very easy to remove the resolution restriction (if indeed there is one). So for those affected by this restriction how about supporting the port after PG does this really easy task? Seems fair to me.
