Well, you might be surprised... 8)
The upcoming patch will add native support (stretched) for 16:9 and other aspect ratios including TripleHead, at least in DX9 mode. So a little update to my FOV fix might do the trick, although the weapons could look better... they're vastly magnified/Vert- (i.e "closer" to the player) in TripleHead. :? Not a problem for gameplay, but that sucks. I also have to make sure the iron sights view is Hor+ in all ARs, looks like Hor+/Vert- actually.

Sneak preview : NecroVisioN patch + updated FOV fix (both not released yet !!!)

4:3, Cfg.FOV = 100 (default)


16:10, Cfg.FOV = 110


16:9, Cfg.FOV = 116 (this is the only resized screenshot here, original pic was 1600x900. So don't mind the quality !)


Wide TripleHead, Cfg.FOV =154

Bought my copy off Play.com. The game's also available on Gamersgate if you don' trust "snail mail" over such a long distance (Jersey to NZ) ! Otherwise, there's Play-asia...

Did you like the demo or are you just interested in every game that has minimal TripleHead and SLI support ? :)

I haven't tried the demo but basically, after trying many many different genres and types of games I have come to the conclusion I really enjoy (as in play 100's of hours of) 2 types of game: online FPS with squad based play that I can play with my clan (BF2, BF2142, L4D lesser extent CoD etc) and simple SP FPS (e.g. FC2, Crysis, Warhead, TimeShift) that don't have delusions of grandeur (e.g. Bioshock)

Necrovision sounds like my kinda game... fun shooter. The fact that it supports TH means I am much more likely to buy it!

I enjoy Racing and flying sims, RPG and also RTS (without base building, anyway)... but I love FPSs as above :) At the moment I am spending a lot of gaming time played DukeNukem, older Quakes and Dooms with mods to make them look better on an LCD... and I love it (also Diablo 2 but already getting annoyed/bored with having to teleport back to sell my stuff!)

Funny, it's so easy to think a THer with that kind of avatar would be a flight sim integrist :lol:
It's also funny that you like squad-based gameplay and run-off-the-mill SP shooters as well. "Serious" fraggers usually love to bash cheap SP games so much... well, Necrovision might not exactly be in the same league as the Dukes/Quakes/Dooms... but if you enjoyed Painkiller for being different, rich, lengthy and fun to "explore" in every way, chances are 'Necro' will grow on you like it is on me.

The Avatar is me, in the real thing. Serious flt sims have a lot of the pain (heaps to learn) but not as much gain (real G!) as the real thing ;)

My video skills aren't upto much I am afraid!

As to 'serious' fragger. I am serious in that I spend a lot of hours doing it. But when we play as a clan we spend our time screaming around in jeeps, going full speed at the flags and teabagging dead guys...we do it for fun not scores! :lol:

Oh wow. Now I envy you, Avatar :shock:
Necrovision won't have you pull no G's, but the wider FOV when sprinting is a nice touch :lol:

Bugga, stupid idiots in OZ have banned in: http://www.gameplayer.com.au/gp_documents/090416NecroVision.aspx

Hopefully it won't effect NZ (dif classification system but often effected by Oz) and I will be able to get it at some point!

Must be harsh living in a country where the government thinks there's no such thing as adult gamers :(
Maybe you could try to Buy & Download it off the official site...
