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?

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.

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.

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.

Either way it is Hor+, so we're all good.

superb report ! (DRM & game information...)

and ... nice sales girl :wink:

Fullscreen Cutscenes.

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.

It's up to you whether you want to include those shots or not. It won't affect the grading either way.

Major outstanding DR omissions:
Is 1920x1200 supported?

CCE: 89.5%

I guess my arguement boils down to there being a massive difference between a cinema and a moment where the camera control doesn't work.

Anyway, can the game be certified with an ini solution for TH resolutions?

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.

random viewpoint

Those shots I posted are not random. But there is no need to discuss that, the behavior is inline with the rest of the game.

Cool.

Someone go test 1200 res! I want this puppy certified.

I'm downloading the demo now to verify 1920x1200 support. Will report back today.

lol sorry. 1920x1200 confirmed.

Don't do that! Amazing game!

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.
