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

wouldn't gtx titans make more sense for 4k gaming vs 780 ti's?



Anyhow, odd that no one (sorry if i missed a post) is talking about the inherent added latency for playing at non native resolutions of your display, which i could impact gameplay ever so little...

i'm just glad that my setup is 2 1080p 1 1440p monitor.
 
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.
What is your definition of "many"? Steam hardware survey shows 2.5% people using 1920x1200, and around 1.1% for any other resolution higher than 1920x1200.
 
kind of annoying as I use my 1440p monitor for games, but I also have a 1080p/120hz monitor so it ain't the end of the world.

no excuse not to have it, though.

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.

All the people wanking over this (and I'm a PC only gamer) seem to have missed the point that it would have been better to spend less and upgrade more regularly. Same power but much cheaper and less chance of hardware failure. Hardware depreciates too fast.

Also, $18000? Itemise that for us.

Look back a bit.

You must understand that I reside in Australia so prices are jacked up. Parts all up, including the $4000+ monitor he purchased(Dell UP3214Q), Cyborg RAT9, STRIKE7 Keyboard, ASUS Xonar Sound Card, Win 8.1 Pro, Case etc etc equaled to roughly ~15-16k. He literally purchased the best that money could buy, aside from a proper liquid cooling system and other tidbits.

Oh and we have a similar configuration as a display system, albeit it's running an i7-4770k and only two 840 EVOs in RAID. Still beast!

It's Australia and is one of those money is no object builds.
Of course people weren't looking at it sensibly. It's not meant to be sensible.
 
1.37% of 65M Steam users having higher res than 1080/1200p is 890,500 people. Close to a million people. That's indeed not a small number.
Who cares about minorities?

Gotta realize that 'price is no object' consumers generally aren't worried about best value.

That rig has clearly been ordered by someone whose price-limit is well beyond what pc hardware could reach even shooting for the moon, so what's the point of the post?

He can, period.

Yep, and if you take out the percentage of Steam users who have a steam account to play peggle or some shit on their laptop gpu, that percentage goes up quite a bit, as people with these screens tend to be more enthusiast level gamers.
 
In this thread: people complaining about nothing.

"Wow. 1080p max resolution? such sadness. my monitor am cry."

I doubt anyone can even notice a difference between 1080p and 1440 while the game is in motion.

Be glad you have a gaming pc! Some of us are stuck with peasant consoles!

actually my 1440p monitor has no scalar, so if I cannot run a game at 1440p, there are headaches. So this game goes from a possible buy to a no.
 
I am quite curious about those who are decrying the backlash against the indignation about no higher than 1080p support.

This game has been out for the PS3 and the 360. Let's say that all who are anticipating this for the PC do not own either of the console versions of the game. It would then be safe to assume that these people, who are playing the game the first time, want the best version of the game on PC; they are expecting the usual improvements and most commonly, for PC gaming, that is a significant bump in graphics resolution and framerate. At the very LEAST, people should have the option for a wide range of resolutions, common to monitors today.

So who are these people who are against having a higher resolution than 1080p? If you are a first-time player of this game, and you don't own the console versions, shouldn't you want the best that you can get on your PC? If you are a double-dipper, shouldn't you want a more enhanced version (otherwise, why not stick with your console version)? If you have played and owned a console version of the game and are not planning on buying the PC version, then what are you doing in this thread, other than to rile up the PC gamers who want more, as is the standard for PC games or ports?

The enthusiast crowd is enthusiastic.

Platinum games can do no wrong, same with From software, console gamers just love eating shit
and post in pc related threads.

After all of that, you use the crappy corsair water cooling system

Native resolution is always best, but in case you don't know you can actually enable gpu-upscaling in the control panel, like consoles do automatically.
 
I'm sorry, but this doesn't make any sense. At all. In the least. Why would you make the resolution configurable and then not make it fully configurable? I mean, that makes less sense than not making it configurable at all.
 
Can you explain the pic to me then? It's probably a meme or something but I don't understand it.

Bat- symbol.........a device used to signal batman when they need his help. This being the Durante-symbol...... signifying that we need the Well-Dressed Knight to emerge from the shadows to pull us from the depths of non native resolutions.
 
Look back a bit.

Using PC Case Gear as a guide (save for the monitor) and assuming high-end parts:

Dell UP3214Q: $4,200
Cyborg RAT 9: $135
Strike 7: $389
Xonar Phoebus: $209 (though there's no sound card visible in the image)
4x Samsung 840 Pro: $1,916
Windows 8.1 Pro: $159
4x GTX 780 Ti (factory overclocked): $3,596
3x 4TB HDDs: $956
Seasonic X-1250 Gold: $349
High-end E-ATX case: $399
i7 4960X: $1,199
Corsair H110: $169
64GB DDR3-2400: $838 $876

Total: ~$14.5k (excluding any shipping costs). Either your mate got ripped off or he's being rather liberal with the purported cost. Edit: Misread your earlier post. Sorry!

Edit: Forgot the BD-RE drive, but that only adds another ~$120.

Edit edit: Misread the RAM price (again, and I had to use Static Ice as it seems PCCG doesn't stock 8GB modules of CVP DDR3-2400.

Just say that you will make a fix so that people begin to relax :3

Worst case I can think of is that they don't know how to request available resolutions and just hardcoded a set of resolutions available, like some old bad ports did. Add to that the possible ini settings being an index to this list (I've seen ports that do this), which would need hex-editting on the .exe.

We might be jumping to conclusions too soon tho. I don't think anything more than a hex-edit will be needed to fix this, if it happens to be the case above.
 
There is no good reason to not allow for higher resolutions, 3D games shouldn't have locked resolutions, it doesn't make sense. It shouldn't even be more work if they already support multiple resolutions.

People should bitch and scream at PG to get those options in, it seems From got the message and at least seems to take the PC version of DS2 serious

Finally a machine capable of playing Binding of Isaac without framerate drops?

Not only old. The recent Resident Evil: Revelations PC port was like that.

Every time someone complained about their res not being supported they released a patch that introduced support for that specific resolution, LOL. Then the next day someone else complained about some other res, they released a new patch to support that res and so on.
 
It sucks, but I'm not canceling my preorder over this, I can deal with 1080p. Still, I hope we can easily fix this by adjusting some ini file or whatever.

Van Helsing suffers from something similar. It only goes up to 1440p, and you have to set it as your desktop resolution in order to get it to appear. And the AA options aren't good at all, at least Rising has MSAA.
