Durante pls: Metal Gear Rising PC won't support higher resolutions than 1080p

If it is truly locked this game has too much attention to not be modded to support it. It's pretty much inevitable.
Again, no body knows that nor should expect it.
It's possible, but that doesn't make it inevitable. Some games are tougher than others to get right.
If it's not a game you would be willing to play at 1080p/60fps then you should not buy it expecting modders to allow more options.
This assumes that modders are and will always be there to fix the game which is asking a lot.

Someone get Platinum games a downsampling guide.
Platinum's face when
I hope Platinum can patch it later on.

What is the point of this post?
It's a parody condemning the sentiments occasionally expressed by the more obnoxious among PC gamers as well as its detractors.
Edit: Clarity.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Yo plats get nVidia dat Rising code and give us PhysX bells and whistles on dismemberments and HDAO+.
Also give the code to AMD so wet dat TressFX 2.0 Raiden hair. So lush. So pretty.

It would be a parody if it was based on reality. Many people have explained already that the availability of resolution options is not about bragging or satisfying those with high-end rigs but about future-proofing a game. But I guess being edgy by resorting to dumb stereotypes is more important.
I read it as a parody of the sentiments occasionally expressed by the more obnoxious PC detractors.

It's the other way around.
EDIT: Yeah, what Durante said.
even if this is sarcastic, I think that they wont do a definitive version. If they havent announced it yet, it's not coming.
It playing with reality is why it's a parody -- it's not supposed to be taken seriously.
Well, it works on both levels. Every "side" has its zealots.

I'm sure that's the case, but I thought we were talking about Stallion Free's post specifically.
We are. That's why I said "It works on both levels", "it" being the post.

Yeah, I get why you said it, I just think you are wrong about who he was targeting.
Anyway, let's drop this. It's not important enough to become the central argument in this thread.
Okay.
Edit:
I had a similar thought so I edited the post to cover both sides of the coin.
I haven't read this thread, but I think the situation is pretty simple for anyone who might not understand.
Japanese develoepers don't seem to understand yet that in the west, PC games simply don't have resolution and framerate caps. They don't. That's just the standard of the platform now.
To offer an analogy, PC gaming is kind of like the autobahn. The speed limit is only what your machine can handle.
Also, upscaled resolutions don't look unplayable on TVs because most HDTVs today have decent scalers. Computer monitors don't. Running a game on a monitor at any resolution lower than its native looks much worse than the same situation on a TV screen.

Computer monitors dont need scalers. GPU does all the scaling, just like consoles.
That being said, only having up to 1080p resolution support is like releasing a car with an actual horse powering it instead of a modern engine.
I prefer my 7950 to do the scaling on both my monitor and TV(It does the best job).
1080p on my 2560x1600 monitor is blurry and ugly. I half-prefer playing at 1280x800 because that's a perfect multiple of my native resolution and it doesn't have any blurring. Course, the pixels are the size of my fist.
It kills me to say this but I'm out until a price drop or >1080p support.
I can't even think of another modern 3D game that supports multiple resolutions up to 1080p and THAT'S IT.
The point is that by default, it does not support resolution above 1080p and realistically we don't know WHY this is and won't likely know until it comes out.
It's likely a dumb reason, and it's likely theres SOME workaround for it.
But that's not a guarantee and buying it with the expectation that it will - if the higher resolution is really important to you - is a bad idea and setting yourself to get burned if there's some reason why it can't be or isn't fixed.
We can't always expect Durante or modders to fix everything, and there might be instances where people can't or won't fix something. People should be able to willingly accept that.
japanese gamers don't play pc games
and if they do they're 800x600 resolution visual novels with porn (because anything without porn doesn't really sell)
(the idea is that they go to work on a computer all day, they don't want to go home and be on the computer again. Makes sense that mobile gaming is up for them because they can play on the train, then spend time with family when home)

It's not that simple. You have to consider FOV, aspect ratios, HUD, font scaling etc.
Most big budget games use HUDs that scale to any resolution without the need for additional art. And in this case, I'm not even looking for anything beyond 16:9 support so the FOV would be untouched.
Anyway, Durante already posted that the 1080p cap is ridiculously trivial to remove and he's already made a proof of concept mod for personal use but he'd rather have Platinum do it for everyone else since it's so easy (and because there are a few lingering graphical issues, as there were for Dark Souls and Deadly Premonition).
Maybe Platinum will surprise me with a quick patch but I'm not optimistic at the moment.

My display's AR is not 16:9 and I want adapted FOV.
