Durante pls: Metal Gear Rising PC won't support higher resolutions than 1080p
- Thread starter angular graphics
- Start date
I have a Samsung LED display, though, not LCD. I'm pretty sure that makes up the difference. It looks great even though the games were designed for my smaller 24" PC monitor. I don't get the ire.
This is GAF. GAF needs 1324423x24143242 at 5000fps or they won't play it.
I object to that characterization.

You have an LCD.

No. The TV has a native resolution of 1080p so it is displaying the pixels 1:1. LED TVs actually are LCD anyway, the backlighting differs from regular LCD TVs though.
Durante has been called upon https://twitter.com/PG_jp/status/414048864031621121
Indeed I don't even know what you are referring to
It was a wired interview that included a picture of Peter (Durante). Link goes to the NeoGAF thread about the interview.

Ah, I have definitely read that article (not sure about the GAF thread linking to it) but I don't remember having seen Durante's face before today. Probably read it on my phone or something.
The PC market is full of different builds. Building a PC game means trying your best to cater to those different builds - ignoring something as fundamental as resolution shows a lack of understanding of PC gaming.

In my opinion, its better to game in 3 * 24" 3D Monitors, than one 4k, but to each their own.
Just dont dismiss Triple screen 3D if you have never seen it in person, it will blow your mind.
I think people are being a bit harsh. This is Platinum's first time developing for PC and it's not like every western developer caters for 1440p+ resolutions, hell some games flat-out crash at that res. Like a lot of other games, this will probably reach that resolution with community help. This isn't unprecedented, it's pretty much in line with where the industry is right now.
To me it's not a huge deal, but it definitely should be an option.
JP Kellams, the Creative Producer at Platinum, just tweeted out this in reference to the issue (read from bottom to top).

As a PC gamer i find it completely acceptable.
But then again i am not one those hyperbole gamers that think 30fps is unplayable.
So if I load up Unreal '99 I can use any resolution I want.
I load up Metal Gear in the year of our lord 2013 and I can't use my native resolution or aspect ratio.
What has happened to science?
:O

Finished building it today, $18,000 machine.
i7-4960X, 64GB DDR3 2400Mhz RAM, 4 x GTX780 Ti's, 4 x 512GB Samsung 840 EVOs in RAID, 4 x 3TB HDD, etc etc...
My home PC is more than capable(i7-3930k, 2 x MSI Lighting GTX680s) but hopefully there will be a mod in the future to make 4K doable.

Large Pixel Collider my ass, this is our new lord and master.
That just means you have sub-par gear/low standards. It's not hyperbole to expect high performance when your rig is built around that concept.
My 780 will be here today. I am not super rich top end but i could play almost everything on high/ultra pre this card and now with this card. Low standards? 1080p is low standards now? hyberbollllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Something something "We paid attention to the steam surveys".
What a crock of shit, haha.
I suppose it would be slightly understandable if PG just doesn't know how to make PC games... slightly.

this has nothing to do with standards for how things look. it has to do with games supporting native resolutions that have been used in pc gaming for years.
Still missing the point. People not being able to play the game at their native monitor resolution and aspect ratio? The vast majority of games have no trouble supporting this.
High standards guys!
I honestly don't understand why this is a thing. How much extra time could it possibly take to add more supported resolutions? It's literally trivial for most every 3D PC game released in the last ten years.
I feel like Japanese developers are just completely unfamiliar with the PC platform. PC monitors don't scale like TVs!
And besides that, PC games are also about forwards compatibility. Even if 1080p is the most common now, it won't be in the future. What's the harm in including additional support? It's not like with consoles where the devs have to make sure that it runs well.

It's not about a select few, it's about the standards for the platform.
Polygonal PC games let you choose the resolution you want the game to run in. Period. That is the standard.
Probably won't since most users don't have a 120hz and something something steam surveys.
There are more powerful and way cheaper cards than Titan. and if PG guys think only a Titan can make you play at higher than 1080 then they are really clueless about PC.

For those with 1440P monitors, it is. The PC platform has always been open in the sense "you get back what you put in" but now these developers are trying to fucking consolize the PC platform by placing limits on games, that available hardware can easily destroy.
Also, even if your rig can't surpass the locks, PC gamers should not accept this garbage. It has been this kind of shitty apathy that has lead to crap such as horse armor and season's passes', etc...
But this doesn't make any sense... it's easier to implement proper support and there's no need for D3D9 injectors in this case either. At worst we just do a bunch of hex-edits on release.
There is absolutely 0 need for surveys, QA, and testing. You request the display list to D3D, you put those instead of your own "resolution" list, and you're done.
If what they say is right, they spent far more work on this than they actually needed to.
For serious. I'm definitely not running a Titan yet I've been using 1600p for years.
I spit out my coffee at the first line.

Just buy a console.

The whole ''i have a gaming pc aswell and i'm fine with it'' argument is so fucking used to death.

There is also the issue of 'if corners are cut here, are corners cut else where?'
Exactly, say goodbye to ultra smooth 120hz.
It's almost becoming a trend when you have some developer be all ''we care about pc gaming, we got the 1080p and 60fps'' and in the end you know exactly how good the port is because the numbers they use will be what the framerate and resolution are capped at.
I am convinced they are just console warriors trying to stir up shit as usual.
