if the statistics were closer this'd be a viable argument, but there's a huge gap between 1920 x 1080 and anything above it

It's not fine, i think nobody is supporting PG for locking the max resolution. But that lock is not a reason to describe this port as shitty.
And as i and few people said, getting past this lock with be easy for sure, even old games like Devil May Cry 3 that had a really shitty port can now with a mod play on 16:10 resolutions.
Guess I can hold off on buying it..
At that sort of money I am pretty disappointed not see this all under water.

i7-4960X, 64GB DDR3 2400Mhz RAM, 4 x GTX780 Ti's, 4 x 512GB Samsung 840 EVOs in RAID, 4 x 3TB HDD, etc etc...
My home PC is more than capable(i7-3930k, 2 x MSI Lighting GTX680s) but hopefully there will be a mod in the future to make 4K doable.
For the dudes with, say, 1600p monitors, playing a 1080p game is going to look about as good as playing a 720p game on a 1080p screen.
While this doesn't really affect me since my screens are 1080p, if I had a 1600p monitor I would be disappointed by this.
I agree that it's a bit premature to complain just about a tweet though, let's at least wait until the game is out and we see for sure that there's no .ini or .cfg files to fix this.
Even if it is 100% 1080p locked, I still appreciate the effort they put into making it better than the console versions.
Most people play on resolutions that aren't 1080p.
That isn't what is being said. Obviously GAF would have the most hardcore of PC gamers, being the site that it is.
This is a case of satisfying 98.5% or satisfying 100% with regards to the resolution options. But GAF, naturally, has a disproportionate amount of that 1.5%. Seemingly, it isn't hard to unlock the resolution of a game, so there's a strong argument for doing so.
Add another $8000+ perhaps.

That's not the point. You can also ignore Metro on Windows 8 if you install a tweak or two but that doesn't mean Microsoft gets a free pass.
People have tossed entitled around like a dirty word, but frankly? You ARE entitled to more when you spend around or well in excess of a thousand on a fantastic PC setup and it'd take practically no effort to support it. These people need to think about the sheer absurdity of paying for great performance only to have arbitrary bottlenecks on the games they wanted to run as well as they possibly can.
What's another 8K when 18K is already in!
This. This is like sending out the bat signal because somebody scratched your Mercedes.

People refusing to buy a game because it can't go higher than 1080p?

I'm glad I'm a gamer and not one of those resolution people. Your lives must suck :/

Please explain that.
I think most PC gamers understand that *options* are one of the most important aspect of gaming on a PC. Not everybody has the same hardware or display.
I only have a 1080p monitor, so this doesn't affect me(at the moment). But I am very aware that other people exist in this world with me and I don't think its cool when other people are left by the wayside, even if I'm ok.
Never said this is something to be absolutely outraged over, but it *is* an issue and is disappointing. Don't think we can call it a half-ass port by any means, but maybe a 7/8ths port?

Don't you know? Apparently those resolution people are the "real" PC gamers.
Probably more like a typical robbery, when there's super villains to fight. It IS dumb this happened, but hopefully Platinum addresses it themselves.

What resolution does your monitor use?

Ha ! I knew it would be to good to be true with the sale price.
Why is there even a discussion of why this matters? It's completely trivial to implement an option to select and display all resolutions available from a programming standpoint. If they already implemented 1080p they do have a way to create a buffer of a different size and scale everything properly as well.
This is even easier to implement than the 720p catastrophe. It could just be that their wording is confusing and we're jumping to conclusions, unless they were silly enough to hardcode a list of resolutions supported.
In fact if the case above is correct, we don't even need a hack of the scale of dsfix or anything like that. We can just hex-edit the exe and have any resolution.

most people play on resolutions up to and including 1080p, but thanks for being pedantic.
Zero, this is now the name of that PC.
It makes a lot of sense when your monitor is 2560x1600. Upscaling 1080p to fullscreen looks awful, not jokes.
I'd say that I can't understand people supporting this arbitrary restriction but I see garbage like that all the time on GAF. No surprise here.
And really, it is arbitrary. Practically every modern 3D game allows for all sorts of ridiculous resolution options with almost no effort from the developer. Even games that don't support your resolution out of the box allow you to plug in any monitor-supported resolution into a config file and shit just works.

1600 x 900.
Resolution doesn't mean shit to me. I play games to play games. Not to wank over how many pixels there are on the screen.
Well there's a pretty big difference between the two.

I'd rather just use SGSSAA and run it at 120 FPS instead.
I dont think you read what I said the right way........ I am saying that it obviously DOES matter. I play on a 2560x1600 panel and it very much is the deciding factor for me as to whether Ill purchase or not.
Good to know your opninion is irrelevant to this topic.

lol that rig could probably run directly a 360 emulator with Rising if such thing existed
Yeah, my laptop res is 16:10, 1900x1200. That was in 2008 when I bought it. When buying a new rig, I sure as shit wouldn't settle for 1080p. 1440p will be minimum this time.

Probably more than just that. I mean just look at that damn thing.
I do. More worried about performance than jaggies, though.
I'll upgrade to an actual 1440p monitor in a year or two, when I get a new graphics card.
Wow, some of the posts in this thread are crazy.
Maybe you couldn't read the line you didn't bold, but he said nobody is supporting this. They don't deserve a "free pass" but this is hardly the reason to call it a shit port that only a Japanese developer would deliver.

I agree with you. Doesn't constitute the hyperbolic response of almost the entire first page of this thread being filled with "shit port, canceled preorder" posts.
Mostly I felt the need to defend it because the game is great, Platinum is one of my favorite devs right now, and it really seems to me that they're trying to do a good job with bringing this game to PC. I feel the need to support it because while I don't expect Platinum's first PC game to be perfect, it seems like they are putting real effort into it which is more than I can say for most console-to-PC ports this past gen, from any developer, let alone a Japanese one.

I think several people in this thread don't understand how absurdly easy it is to include high resolution support in a modern 3D game. It's not like on consoles where the dev has to make sure that it runs at an acceptible framerate for all players.
Can you list, say, 10 3D games from the last generation that don't support >1080p? I'd ask for only five but there have been several of these in the last six months for some reason.

I love platinum too, but I won't play a game that will look terrible on my monitor when there are plenty of great games available that support resolutions that have been around for ten years.
And, perhaps more importantly, support resolutions that will be widely supported in 10 years.

I pre-ordered the game yesterday lol. My monitor is 2560x1440 OC to 75Hz. I've had this for a year and a half, so not really used to 1080p anymore. No reason for games to not support higher resolutions, no reason whatsoever. Game logic is sometimes tied to framerate, so sometimes you can't make a game 60FPS without work, but I can't think of any reason why a game should be limited in resolution.

Wana bet it won't support 4:3 and 16:10 either?...
glad I never pre order games
Go look up what native resolution means on lcd panels then come back with a less asinine post
if you don't have any standards and don't care about resolution or framerates then go play on a console instead of telling us what our standards should be

Meh, at least they're doing progress with 60 FPS and 1080p support. Durante would prolly just help about 3.0% of the player base if he did do a quick fix. Does he get donations of some sort? The people that are begging and putting other people down about the situation better get on that.
Sounds like it'll be a better port than a few American developed games already.
DAT RIG ABOVE, THO HNNNNNGGGG--

No, is there even an easy way to find out without launching games to check?
I can think of many PC ports that have turned out shit because major publishers simply won't bother letting their teams spend time on them though.
The console version is already 60 FPS.
