The game's resolution is set to your native resolution when fullscreen but when in window mode you can manually stretch the window. It's not going to increase the visual fidelity since this is all sprites and it's still going to size up everything, but the good thing about the game being rendered in sprites is that it still looks good in most sizes.

There was a button on the stream last night to pull up the full map.
On the PS4/Vita version you could resize and reposition the full map. That feature didn't make it into the PC version because reasons.

Part of the fun of Isaac for a new player is learning it. You could always pull up the wiki and read about stuff you don't know but that takes away some of the fun!
As far as donations...I don't know. I think it's a new mechanic. Play around with it and see if you notice what it does!
That's a bummer
I'll try to find that button though.grounded_dreams

Thought as this was being released on console there would be the usual game sites doing reviews.
OK, thanks mate.
1) Got to learn what the items do either by yourself or watch walking encyclopedias like Bisnap play.
2) Nope. If you die you start at whatever your character's base stats are.
3) idk

Same, unfortunately :/
There's not really much in the way of a tutorial. I'm sure people will be putting up beginners guides in the next few days, though.
Nothing you collect transfers between runs, but you can unlock different characters and items that you'll be able to collect in subsequent runs.
You donate to unlock new items in the shop.

I haven't been following this game that much, but my brother, who loves BOI, said that it isn't coming to the 3DS because of the religious themes(makes sense). Though he also told me that the developers may make changes so that it will be on the e-shop. Is there anymore news on that?
Going to be streaming some gameplay in a few moments if anyone is interested.

They've been teasing the 3DS and Wii U in blog posts for a while now. I'm pretty sure it's eventually going to be released for both.
That was a problem with the original release. There have been strong hints (if not more that I missed) that the game will turn up on 3DS, and I doubt that they'd change it in any way to do that.
I don't think anyone knows unfortunately...

The Hungry Horde is up so US PS Store is starting to update. It'll probably be a bit after it's up on PSN before the PS+ discount is applied too, btw.

Huh ok. I am really hoping for a 3DS version! I already have the PC version but a portable version would be great too. Thanks for the info!

I laughed WAY too much at this :lol
Btw, hard mode? Pretty frigging hard, died in basement 2.
Try to learn. My tip is if you don't notice an effect with your character than its probably something to do with your heart, bomb, money, or key counts. Pay close attention to those when you pick up items, as well as the short description it gives you.
No, no upgrades from run to run.
I don't think anyone knows what the donations do yet, that's a new thing with Rebirth.

Where do I find those numbers? I can't find that graph anymore since the redesign.
Anybody else getting this unresponsive keyboard bug? Steam forums seem to correlate it with a certain Logitech keyboard, but I've been experiencing it on a Microsoft brand. Anyway, it's incredibly annoying and keeps causing me to die, so I think I'm going to wait for a patch before playing any more.
If it happens to you, note that unplugging and replugging the keyboard seems to fix it. I see a lot of people not realizing that and restarting their computers to fix it (like I did too the first time it happened).

I was watching the NL stream this morning.
he donated 10 cents to the machine and he unlocked an item in the basement. Probably just carries over between runs, unlock more items for coins donated.

They seem to be rare but they certainly are there. On my first run I got Left Hand (from Ultra Pride) and after that two more, maybe that unlocks it?
Gas Penny which I assume releases gas after picking up a penny and something like errr, Petrified Poop? No idea

Tiny Planet is weird, I don't know if it's synergy but I basically have to shoot backwards to hit stuff, nice twist.

Thank you very much. Now that I know the url is that simple I wont have the need to ask for it again. lol

Personally, I'd play for a while without looking anything up, while keeping in mind that the game can be very difficult and you will die and start over many times, which is sort of the point. If you're playing to win rather than playing to discover and unlock, you may get frustrated.
Through practice you'll get to know the different enemies, which will help you get better at surviving regardless of what random items you acquire. If you get an item and can't tell what it does, don't feel bad about looking it up. I'd just avoid studying up on the game in advance.

2nd run, on the second floor. I got a devil room and picked up the Pact and a Little Brimstone baby which is amazing. Also got a Mom's Pill Bottle with some great pills. Looks like this'll be my first win haha.
Yeah, seems pretty random. I've played for 20 minutes without a problem, and I've had it freeze again 5 seconds after fixing it. Definitely too frustrating to play at the moment.

Definitely plays a lot smoother on my computer but I have no idea what half the items I get do, like the ones that go in the bottom left of the screen

Ah sorry, I wasn't clear
I meant drop as in, remove. There was a preview of the game a few months ago showing that you could now drop trinkets (excluding the Tick of course), but 'ctrl' isn't working.

Oh my god I'm having a fucking ball. Second run and I've hit like, 5 items I have NO IDEA what they do and can't tell from my stat page or just...in general. Specifically one new devil room item that's...flavor text leaves me a tad worried.
The changes to this game are insane. I'm adoring it.

Maybe it was for the better the Steam launch had a snafu. Made gamers even more hungrier for Rebirth.
I think Isaac is a tad too slow at start. I think the game is far more fun once you get at least one speed power-up.
Fun but I died at Depths II on my second run in one of the worst ways possible.
First of a million dumb ways to die in Rebirth achieved. Hooray. I wished I could check it in the Womb
Edit: Holy crap [items]
