I'm wondering if the game does not support widescreen LCD monitors. What do you think?

Well, currently there is an uproar on the resolution issue. In my view Waste Gate is looking to find a possible answer to the very first major issue that has spurned over 5 pages in another thread. The sticky is a lot of information on a lot of stuff. I find this issue baffling myself. One hopes we find a answer on this issue in a constructive conversation.

That was the spirit of this thread's creation. Thanks AVGWarhawk

I hope SH4 will have full support of widescreen LCDs to make SH4 shine without jaggies!

I hope so also for those that have spent money on them. I do not have a widescreen because everything looks stretched to me. This includes the widescreen TV. I just don't get why they did this to some TV's. Also, the higher resolution might be a crisper picture but how do you read all the small guages and buttons? I run all my games at 1024x768.

Widescreen wont cure any jaggies, but higher resolutions WILL make them less glaring. They are still there though. SH3 in 1600x1200 with FSAA and AF at full blast look stunning, even by todays standards. SHIV sadly does not. (Yes, I am basing this on screenshots, I dont have the game)

Look at this one, for instance, it looks awful:

I'm kind of in your corner there Stabiz. The screenshots always looked muddled to me and not quite as crisp as SH3. I think widescreen is the issue here on this. Just my thoughts. Then again all screens might have issues. Something just never seemed right with the screenshots.




I do not have the game either.

Yes, I can see your point. Generally speaking, I like the higher resolution in simulations because I can easier identify far away objects at better detail. I am lucky owner of a Dell2407 and I very much enjoy it! I would be very happy to see SH4 in true 1920x1200 on my 24 Inches screen. That would be just great!

If I run IL2 in high resolution it give me a headache attempting read dials and see far off dots. Perhaps the widescreen is stretching the game to fit. I really do not know:hmm:

There is already a thread on this issue, which is more aptly named i might add.

Lets cut the crap. He's dissappointed and pissed off because the game didnt meet his expectations out of the box. So now he's raising a big F'ing stink about it because he's angry. Come on, The "do not buy SH4 Thread UbiSoft Sucks!!" ?!

I've seen that crap alot in other games, what it really means is, "im pissed off, im personally insulted, and im going to try and make ubi loose money. That'll show em! Disappoint me will they!"

I so hope we are wrong, but I`m getting depressed. (Must learn not to join hype!)
