Widescreen Gaming Forum

Pikmin 2 - New Play Control! on Wii is Hor+, though lots (all?) of the HUDs are stretched.

I have returned with some new reports (images to follow)

Beyond Good & Evil is a little bit Vert+/Hor+ in the HD version compared to the original which was fully letterboxed

Devil May Cry 1 and 2 are a combination of Vert- and Hor+ in the HD Collection compared to the originals

Metroid Prime 1 is ...

Is there a way to open up the FOV? It feels really cramped with Isaac taking up 1/3 of the screen.

anyone have ANY info on this game?

So for games that are for both platforms, since they have different aspect ratios, how are most of the games handling that?

Anamorphic? Hor- or Vert+ on iPad versions? Or Hor+ or Vert- on iPhone/iPod Touch versions?


side question if anyone knows: for iPad versions of apps, will they ...

goddammit I hate when reports get so messy and the clear solution is spread across several posts.

do I need to edit the "assumed" thing in default.ini as well for proper widescreen gameplay? was this missed in the OP?

the op talks about changing the FOV based on 85, and on 90


What ...

does anyone know the deal on Metroid Prime 1 and 2 vs the Trilogy on Gamecube?

Hor+ ? Vert-? Combination?

does anyone know the deal on Metroid Prime 1 and 2 vs the Trilogy on Gamecube?

ha. that's certainly one way to do it

thanks

where did you find or learn of the baseline FOV in this case?

There seems to be some kind of mouse accel/ lag going on in Riddick Dark Athena.

It's worse the higher the resolution.

Vertical Sync is off, and I'm not sure what else to try or what's causing it.

Pretty annoying as everything feels really floaty

so is one game's FOV not equal to other games' FOV?

like 55 in this game would not have the same FOV as 55 in say, UTIII ?

cuz that's a really low number, but it doesn't seem THAT extremely narrow.

Not sure, but FOV feels too narrow at default... gonna look for a way to widen it up.

Any suggestions?

can't find it either.

is it all in one area of the hex code?

or spread throughout it?

couldnt you just post the offset?

"pretty much"

because that definition doesn't include what we often use it for - in that it's also the designed or intended AR/FOV.

We assume that the intended AR/FOV is the one that also doesn't change or shouldn't change, even when the game's widescreen behaviour does.

but they're ...

I was playing a training match with bots and the FOV slider had no effect in-game...

I'm not actually trying to change anything. Originally I just wanted to know what behaviour it had, and now I'm curious about some of these options and such.

Well.. if a console game is vert-, what can be done about it?

Ensure users are educated about what's the baseline intended FOV, and to not run at an aspect that'll subtract from it.

ie, don't assume it'll look better or you'll see more if there's a widescreen option.

That would be ...

The point is they designed the game around what you end up seeing at 16:9, no matter how they chose to get there.
Around what you end up seeing pre-patch, or post-patch? If they had truly designed it around a 16:9 FOV, there wouldn't be a discrepancy like this. Such a huge change in the FOV could ...

I wish there was more interest in this.

so what the hell is that slider for if it's not doing anything apparently?
