Widescreen Gaming Forum

Doesnt look too bad with a minor stretch I guess I just ordered this game off ebay for like 4$ hope I like it.

Would much prefer a non strech tho so I will look into it, did you do this via game settings or just thru your display properties control panel?

BTW hows the game?
I loved the original on playstation, and havnt really cared for one since.

There's no such thing as minor stretch. 99% of all widescreen-enabled games either are stretched, or are not. And the ones that stretch, when running at a 16:10 resolution, stretch by 20%. No more, no less. If you don't like the stretch, and I don't, it's best to stick with a 4:3 resolution and let your video hardware scale it to aspect.

I'm not sure what you're asking me here:

If you're asking me how I got the game to run in widescreen, you can't get games to run in widescreen just by using the control panel - you have to set your resolution ingame, for every game, unless it selects a widescreen resolution for you by default (and even then, it's best to check to make sure).

BTW hows the game?

I didn't play it much, but frankly, I didn't think much of it. The fighting seems overly simplistic and monotonous, mostly reliant on button mashing and juggling. On the other hand, I've been spoiled rotten by Ninja Gaiden Black, to the point where even Devil May Cry 3 feels like a poor man's NGB to me, so you might want a second opinion.

Oh I love ninja gainden aswell I almost bought an xbox just for that game.

I picked this up on ebay for like 4$ so its not a major loss if I dont like the game, I just really liked the very first one on PS1 and heard this plays like devil may cry wich I also liked so I figured hell why not? Plus my wife might like it.

Added 16x9 screenshot game DOES NOT support WS
Runs on windows 7 64 bit

*tested both retail & steam

It's to bad the Kain saga is over

But maybe in the Future they will make a Remake of Blood Omen or Soul Reaver

Loved this games!

Actually there is a fan mod that enables proper stretching in 16x9. It's by a guy with a nickname Marcelo_20xx. It can be found here: http://filebeam.com/ee7e9dd70271897cf2082ecbd4fc630a. Replaces the game's exe file.
