no love for widescreen

**Tabbitha** · 8th March 2007, 05:45 AM

On Stratics a players asks about play modes

I have a wide screen monitor and I play in full screen mode , will there be a wide screen option in KR? or do I have to see the world through my wide angle glasses?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

good question, i wonder the same thing altho all that extra space is handy for open bags and spell/specials icon's

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Im no dev, but from sheer fact you can zoom in and out I see no reason why we couldnt get a bit more real estate on the left and right for widescreen. Im sure there are technical isssues to deal with but I have faith they will support wide screens, especially since they want to keep UO alive for years to come. I interested in the resoultion I can run the game at. I have a 30 inch widescreen so can we get 2560 x 1600 please!

Widescreen isn't that expensive anymore, you can get a 19in widescreen for $199 these days

Hmm for that price, I might find myself looking around for a new widescreen for the home studio.

Who of us here has widescreen to enjoy their gaming on then ?

I don't have one currently, but for that price I may have to go shopping.

I like widescreen for movies and such but I have no need of a widescreen monitor for my PC...I do however want to get another monitor so I can have the forums up while playing...

I've got a widescreen laptop. Don't play in full screen mode though, so I have no idea what it looks like.

I just bought a new 19" wide screen monitor and now I dont know how I got by without one before. (should have gotten bigger, like 22"+ but was afraid it wouldn't fit) I love the thing! I am always having multiple windows open also, which is convenient with a wide screen. Some day, I'd like to get another wide screen to have dual, but i just dont have the desk space at this moment.

I have a 24" widescreen monitor.

I also play on a 24" monitor, gives me lots of room for UOAM etc.
It will definately be interesting to see the resolution features in UO:KR

They'd be stupid if they didn't. Widescreen and PC gaming will become the norm and non wide screen LCD's and CRT's the thing of the past. We're in that transition period now.

**DiP** · 10th March 2007, 06:06 AM

I hate all things wide screen.

But they should incorporate it into the game for those that don't.

I don't, I didn't like stuff in widescreen format
