Risen is a single-player fantasy-themed action role-playing game by the German company Piranha Bytes, and published by Deep Silver. Piranha Bytes itself developed the Windows version, which was released on October 2, 2009.
Risen takes place in Faranga, a fictitious volcanic, mediterranean island with different sub-climates and vegetation zones. The island is inhabited by humans, as well as many fantastic creatures.
Recently, ancient temple ruins have risen from the ground, providing access to a network of interconnected underground areas such as catacombs and dungeons. As a result, the humans have put in place an Inquisition, forbidding anyone from exiting their city or the island.
The player character wakes up on the shores of Faranga in the midst of the storm, surrounded by dead bodies. Both he and Sara are unharmed.
Does the stretching affect 16:10? And if not, do you think the effect on TH is detrimental enough to prevent certification?
Also, any other SP anomalies?
No anomalies in 22 hours of gameplay... as for the stretching, it is not there in any single monitor res that I have seen, the size seems to scale up to 16:9.
As for how damaging the scaling is to image quality at ultra wide resolutions across 3 monitors, I can't really say for sure without running it that way, but the "faux" TH resolution I ran seemed pretty okay... obviously a little stretched, but nothing really horrible.
There are fullscreen cutscenes as well. Best one to find is going out to sea and then the scene of your character on the beach afterwards.
It's probably just the gameplay camera sticking in one spot for a death scene... in theory it does that whenever you die, but I don't think those are cinematics.
I could be wrong though, I never walked out to sea. I'll do that later tonigh.

You can still move the camera when you are dead. This scene I am talking about is after you wash up. When you "die" at sea you do not really die just show up on the closest beach.

If you fall in deep you will drown and wash up. But be warned if you walk into the sea from a beach you will get a bump to your heartrate. 8)
The opening scene where he washes up is given black bars for me... seems like a dialogue scene with no dialogue... not sure if that is different from later washing up scenes.
That really is just the dialogue system without the dialogue... random viewpoint, still camera... same thing.
A cutscene would be like, you know... action, moving cameras, actual difference from gameplay. Think Quake IV... all in-engine and rendered in real-time, but with cinematic camera angles and movement. I don't think pausing control of the camera while a quick animation plays qualifies, in my opinion.
Not being nitpicky, just clarifying the DR lingo-dingo. If cranky wants I will put your images in the DR, but I think it is being redundant.
Yes. We addressed that point in April. Consensus for each issue so far has been pretty consistent with a pattern - anything that would be a blemish in WS can be overlooked if it only affects TH, but consequential flaws and worse will be held against it.

Cool.
Someone go test 1200 res! I want this puppy certified.
Maybe, but I don't have time for another RPG. I've got too many lined up as it is, and I haven't even finished the first three Gothics yet. That and I've got four and a half seasons of Star Trek TNG left to watch.
