Unlocked resolution options is not a feature of "monster rigs".
BlitzEngineer pls.
Depends on support. Good chance its some bullshit like you have to edit a cfg file. I hope it supports 16:10 though.
Shut the fuck up, support for all modern resolutions is a basic fucking feature, not some bell or whistle like PhysX or Steam Trading Cards.

You're assuming 16:10 resolutions are supported. If 1200p isn't, there's a fair chance that 1050p isn't either. Aint out of the woods yet, brotha!
Anyways, its disappointing in that its showing that while some work went to make this a better port, its still not quite at the level it should be. A lot of Japanese devs *really* don't seem to get it or care enough.
Yes.

Eh who gives a shit about them if they're gonna be that anal about it, if they wanna skip the game because it's resolution capped that's their problem.
it IS shit when your monitors native resolution is above 1080p. PC gamers playing PC games on high resolution panels are obviously concerned with image quality........ playing a game at that resolution on a 2560x1600 panel looks absolutely horrifying and makes the game an instant non-buy.

i don't understand how or why you would program a maximum resolution into a game
or at least, i kind of understand why in old games they don't have 16:9 or 16:10 resolutions (like thief) because the idea of a widescreen monitor was TOTALLY UNIMAGINABLE
but for a game in 2013 to not have every resolution selectable is like, i feel as though putting in a resolution cap must actually be more effort and hard work than not having one. isn't there some kind of API hook for selecting resolutions these days?

Mother of God...
People are getting a little too upset over what sounds like a WAY better situation that what happened with Dark Souls. It's kind of embarrassing reading peoples remarks over this. I harped over the crap that happened with Dark Souls, but these reactions are getting a little ridiculous.

It's not a "standard". It's only "common".

Its the most "common" of the "standard" resolutions.
Better than bad is automatically good?
My feelings can be described as equal parts jelly and awe.
Such an overkill PC, although I'm going to assume your job can somehow justify it.
Samsung 840 RAID? 64GB 2400Mhz RAM? I could cry it's so beautiful.
And a seasonic PSU? Such class.
What he was trying to say was, PC monitors have been 16:10 before LCD panels got anywhere near your living room........ once that started happening, 16:9 pc monitors starte to pop up. Any PC developer worth their salt includes 16:10 resolutions for PC users who appreciate that aspect ratio. (like myself)
i mean yes, it's most likely after the game releases that there will be a fix, or it'll be a simple case of some configuration, but what i'm worried about this that this hyperbolic "shit port" statement becomes a narrative that sabotages platinum's pc efforts before they even start

Well even Valve doesn't properly support 16:10 so I am not sure who you are left with anymore.

Was thinking the same thing as well.
If it had been 720p only, then it would've followed a trend (that will hopefully stop) but capped at 1080p seems like a weird technical limitation.
Its not being anal.
I have a feeling the vast majority of people saying this isn't an issue are not PC gamers.
Ha - have you ever come across a 'shit port'? DS was a shit port, the new Typing of the Dead is a shit port, Deadly Premonition is a shit port.
This? A game with multiple graphics options and the most commonly used resolutions available? Jesus, hyperbole much?
Is it perfect? Hardly. It's far from a shit port however.

Or most of them have an inferior or equal resolution to 1080p and don't really care.
As i said, if this is really locked on released it will be easily solvable by the community.
According to this: http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey
the vast majority don't play over 1080p on pc anyway.
1440p 0.98%
1600p 0.16%
And probably true.
Not every pc gamer fills these in or even uses steam, won't make those the most common resolutions regardless but to actually trust those surveys is insane.
What? Tell me a valve game that doesnt support 16:10 resolutions.
Don't know, vast majority of PC gamers I know have a 1080p monitor. Anything up is enthusiast mode. There's plenty of people with such monitors here on GAF, but even on steam only 1,5% have a monitor with a resolution higher than 1920x1080. The average pc gamer still uses a 1080p monitor. Hell, there's still people who don't even have 1080p.
I still agree they could have done better though, but at least it's not 720p. It's their first pc-port too, so I can understand it somehow. It's a Japanese dev, they already have a hard time understanding the "big pc culture" over here (I think) so I can understand they think 1080p is good enough
Believe me when I received the order for it my eyes popped out. Took me a good 3hrs or more to finish building it. That picture isn't even the finished product, I fixed up the cabling some more so it's REALLY neat. Also ran 3DMark11 Firestrike Extreme, it scored in the Top 40 PC's of all time, with everything at stock. Oh and the SSD RAID scored around 1800MB/s iirc?
I think largely it's that even though many of us have resolutions above 1080p or different then 16:9., it's easy to not care if you have a 1080p screen.
While I think "shit port" is going pretty far, I think it's pretty reasonably to have a resounding "why?" when they say it's locked at 1080p.
I get that they might only have 1080p monitors, but do you really need a 4K monitor to test if your game correctly runs at that resolution? Durante doesn't have a 4K monitor, but he's made patches that run games at that resolution (and probably higher).
Please don't start something like this.

I like this one ...
Probably true, though.
Being limited only by your hardware is a big part of PC gaming.

I do probably 90% of my gaming on PC. I have a 1080p monitor and a reasonable PC, nothing impressive. The idea that every PC gamer is concerned with IQ to the level that some people freaking out over this are is kinda silly.
And being limited by your wallet...
I'm not sure you know how statistics work.... anyway it's pretty indicative that most people play on 1080p on pc, PG playing to the majority here no matter how you look at it.

All source engine games. They crop the image if you use the 16:10 aspect ratio so you end up with less on screen information than the 16:9 resolution with the same width.
