Chronicles of Riddick:

1200x1920

Riddick was a great game ... and it had great Widescreen support ... shame it only did TripleHead at 1920x480 ...
I hope they do more Riddick games.


Off topic but I had to say ...

Please don't breed or buy while shelter pets die, always adopt from shelters.

Thanks Paddy, glad to hear. :)

Edit: what got me was seeing the #s killed each year and seeing a photo of a bunch of 50 gallon drums in some back alley that had cat and dog legs sticking out of the tops.... :cry: I bought a bumper sticker to at http://www.cafepress.com/buy/breed%20or%20buy/-/pv_design_prod/p_storeid.15585006/pNo_15585006/id_5986321/opt_/pg_/c_/fpt_

Anyway, don't mean to darken this thread.

this would get in handy for flipper games!!

noob question:

what's the point of Tallscreen gaming? Thx.....

Just making fun of games that keep a fixed horizontal FOV, and change the vertical FOV as the aspect changes.

Guys, thank you so much for bumping this thread
Here's Turok.

4:3


vertical WTH

Wheelman... without the FOV tool

I hate to say this, but with some of the viewport mods out there, this may actually be worth doing.

Street Fighter IV (Benchmark)

16:10


10:16

Finally resized the shots in my posts for best viewing, so they look as good as TCH's example now. Yay !

I'd love to
- do the same for other people's pics :oops:
- sticky this,
any objections ?

Tip for contributors : the forum's auto-resizing feature requires specific values for this to work.
Tall-widescreen comparison : resize shots to 300 width. Even 480 is too much for automatic alignment.
Tall-surround comparison : resize shots to 100 width. No need to resize the tall-surround shot itself, it'll be done automatically. (Yeah, that's small - and maybe surround is a bit OT anyway.)

Ok fans, here are new versions of the 4:3 to 16:10 comparisons posted previously by Apple & schlaufer, thank you guys ! Wherever you are.

Hitman: Blood Money





Guild Wars




Far Cry... not perfect but still quite tallscreen-friendly




WoW




And as a festive bonus, here's a totally unimpressive Rise Of Flight:




Stripe on top of the screen constantly flashes in tallscreen.
"Tall" cockpit view is much better, I'll give it a shot in my beloved Fokker DrI someday.

That's all folks - more to come in 2010, 'cos Vert- is sooo alive and kickin' ! 8)

Wow, this is the best thread ever. Love your work man. It's good to see the popularity in tall screen finally getting somewhere.

I have never looked back since I converted my widescreen into a tallscreen. Those wide cheaters don't know what they are missing out on.

More pics please! :cheers

These more pics are dedicated to The Guy Who Was Once Offered A Joker Banner. Enjoy.

Oh man, how is that last shot? You can see the SUN ROOF! Wwwwooooooooooowwwwwwww! I wonder if it will classed as cheating, seeing you might be able to see a 1 in 1million year metoerite coming down before anyone else does. Still give the advantage I guess.

Sunroof for the win. :rockout

1 16:9 or 16:10 screen turned on its side.. the effect is greater than a landscape increase even on 1 screen,

this is why eyefinity / nfinity will be better in portrait x 3 screens with no bezzel or perhaps even x4 screens.

really imersive ultra high res and not vertically squished !

Good sir most engines these days keep the VERT FOV the same and expand or contract the HOR FOV.
Games in which are VERT- will expand or contract the VERT FOV and Keep the HOR FOV static.

Meaning, in most instances, the games does not squish the VERT FOV when put into Surround Resolutions. VERT Squishing only happens in VERT- Games.

Tall screen is a nice alternative to playing in 4:3 resolutions or Having Vert FOV cut away in these Vert- Games.

Simply put, "portrait surround" is not tallscreen. Take the total aspect ratio, compare it to 10:16 or 9:16, you'll see.

Heh. Already has these screen shots taken for a post I made on the Global Agenda forums, specifically to mock their argument about not implementing Eyefinity / Proper widescreen support due to unfairness. I don't have 4:3 shots because I was comparing 16:10 to 10:16, and since then I've uninstalled the game.
