We're not shitting on them. People with 1440p or higher monitors are the people getting shat on.
Durante pls: Metal Gear Rising PC won't support higher resolutions than 1080p

- Start date

That patch isn't guaranteed, alot of these late pc ports don't get any patches, no meaningful ones anyway.
I love his patches as much as anyone else, but I wish Durante would tell them to shove their excuses this time. The beer tweet just makes it all worse.
It's a shame I've already bought this, my backlog is big enough and I could've waited until the price was compatible with this shitty port and developer.

It's almost as if those things aren't standard to PC games and scalable resolutions without arbitrary restrictions have been standard for years and years. Hmmm...
lol.

The thing is do you think the people that went through the trouble of adding new modes like boss rush and options like configurable Zandatsu for the PC release wouldn't address this now that they know this isn't acceptable?
oh my god
It's not really 'humor' just asking from outside who can fix a game they made them self. It's even more embarrassing that it cannot go higher then 1080p.
It's a joke. He was joking.
don't forget, a lot of people still have 1920x1200 monitors as well. They suffer just as much.
Not a very good joke.
That's what happens when you're on the cutting edge, it takes time for the industry to catch up. In the meantime solutions from fans and enthusiasts are being used to facilitate that demographic for many other games, and I don't doubt similar solutions will work with this game.

Rejoice, more crybaby hyperbole.
The Christmas spirit (and I'm scrooge like fuck).
You're making the assumption that an old console game (which went through panic mode development hell) was coded for flexible scaling on superior platforms. Systems Revengeance originally wasn't even intended for. If it does turn out to be an easy fix like Dark Souls, then we can talk.
1440p / 1600p is cutting edge? Resolutions that people have been using for over a fucking decade is cutting edge? What world are you living in.
It shouldn't be a matter of "adding resolutions". The game should ask the system which resolutions are available and list them. It's 15 lines of code.
I'll be honest, I think that 1080p/60fps is acceptable for a PC port, if not disappointing.
I would prefer unlocked framerate and any resolution but 1080p/60 is acceptable as a PC port. Not ideal, but acceptable as them putting in the effort to offer a good experience.
I think this is worth noting that a lot of people ignore.
The way Durante allows us higher resolutions is a bit of a hacky work around. It's great, and I absolutely think DSFix is incredible, but it is definitely not perfect, nor do I expect it to be.
For example, in Dark Souls, when using increased resolutions, the sun completely disappears. It's just gone, you can't see it. One of the main characters in the game is very much based around the sun and when you first meet him he's meant to be staring into it.
With DSFix, he's staring into clouds.
For nearly every customer that's completely acceptable because honestly, who cares, it's just the sun.
But for developers, that's probably not something they can just let slide. It's a pretty important character and his main component is sort of compromised .
Along with that, there's a lot of little things that are a bit buggy, but insubstantial like shadow resolution and water looking really weird.
Modders are allowed to do good enough work but people expect developers to ensure everythings perfect.
I 100% prefer the options DSfix affords us, just I can understand why a developer would rather stick with what they might consider "good enough" if it sticks to the vision they had in mind with the game as higher resolutions may break other things.
Nope. It's 3GB. Sli needs to mirror the VRAM so you don't get to use all of it individually. They all act as one.

I don't think this comes off the way JP intended. :-\Was this already posted?
Sounds super simple.

1440p monitors are like $300 off ebay and $400 at retail for weird brands.
i've seen 1080p monitors with added bullshit at best buy that cost more (and still crap refresh rate!).

Can you name a single PC port in that position that's based on a game released in the last five years? I can't think of anything that isn't fixable with either a config edit or something like Durante's mods. It's almost certainly due to a clueless developer.
Yeah, that's what I assumed. Thanks.
None of this would be an issue for someone working with the source code.

As Jim Sterling said in one of his episodes, why should the dev/publishers put the effort in when the fans will fix it for free?
(awful) joke or not, that is really embarrassing. poor guy.Was this already posted?
step up and join neogaf, Kellams.
Gotta say they have a mighty defence force.

Yeesh, I hope you are kidding.
JP is looking forward to seeing mods for the game. That's it, you're reading too much into it.
But you know carry on with your shitflinging and trying to make it out like he literally straight up said 'have fun fixing this broken game suckers'. Not that he had anything to do with the resolution options to begin with.
He did. A long time ago.

Posted it thinking "hey they know about Durante" but it didn't have the reactions I was expecting, instead it become sone kind of witch hunt to a deceloper that wasn't even involved in the port. I shouldn't have posted it.

He posted in the thread he is PlatinumGamesJP.
Not having 8 GB GDDR5 is probably why PCs can't do more than 1080p.

Since you guys wanna beat me up, let me simplify.
1) We support 1080p.
I, personally, know some people with rigs that can support higher than that want more than that. I *promise* to share that info with people working on the game. I am not working on it myself. I sit next to the producer though. If only 1080p isn't enough, tell me and I promise to share that. I've been telling you all everything I know about the game, and I will share everything I've learned from you inside PG.
2) Durante is a stud.
I think the guy is awesome and everything right with PC gaming. He doesn't need to fix our game. I think our game is pretty awesome. But he deserves to be praised not only for being an awesome mod maker. If doing that makes me embarrassing, then I'm cool with that. In fact, anyone who does anything cool with our games, whether it be modding or cosplay or just telling a friend, deserved a beer in my book.
I'm not your embarrassment or your enemy. I'm the dude posting pictures from Valve or unboxing a Steam Machine. Your opinions are my ammunition, and I like going into battle fully loaded.

It would be so, so easy to shut everyone up.
"Sorry for the confusion, guys. We just had our intern look at the source for five minutes and everything's fine now!"

Looking at the Steam hardware stats, yes I would say it's still in that category in regards to gaming.
Should probably start posting code snippets in hopes they copy-paste it.
I don't think some people realise just yet how awfully simple this is to implement. (If we're not being lied about the internal buffer being locked in the first place)In fact it probably benefits from being lazier coding-wise rather than putting more effort into this particular thing.
Again with the steam surveys........my god.
ah, there you go.
At least support 1920 x 1200 lots of people have 16 x 10 monitors.
Don't mind the fools that bring down the community, you're still an awesome creative director
producer
.He hath descended, tell him your troubles
Edit: Haven't bought W101 yet, will get on it soon.
Out of 330 games I have on Steam, I can't think of any modern game that doesn't support resolutions above 1080p other than Dark Souls.
Yeah honestly, I hope one day the PC will eventually at least step into the PS4's shadow because right now it's so far behind it's barely a spec on the map.
PS4 is leads ahead
You're all still loved and appreciated especially for bringing this game to PC. It's all a learning process and part of the process on PC is coming face to face with the enthusiast part of an enthusiast platform.
They seem to do a pretty good job of that themselves.
i just rolled my eyes so hard they popped out my anus
To be fair, too, you didn't say, "If Durante makes our game capable of supporting higher than 1080p...", what you said came off, to me, as anything to improve the game over its released state. That could include any number of things, from implementing SSAO, to texture modding, etc.
If you own it, Darksiders is one. You have to use a hex editor to get anything higher.
