theres no general xbla subforums, so the mention is in here.


the classic doom is available on xbla. ENJOY!!!!            I love doom.

Does the gameplay fill a 16:9 display? I didn't buy frogger because of the rediculously small play window. What is the point of playing a game in 720p if half the pixels are a crappy background with no purpose?

nice!!! i was just playing Doom on my NANO on the bus home from work.....never saw this one comming

[jimjom]

microsoft just keeps getting cool points with me. I love these fuckers! xbox 360 is a freight train of mad cool shit lately!


EDIT: IM AT WORK AND IT HAS NEVER GONE ANY SLOWER. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!

[tonloc79]

How much?

[hamwbone]

800 points i think, IT does not fill the window, small 4x3 thing. the demo lets you play the very frist level. 4 player split screen and 4 player live games. also has co-op for live and split screen. it definatly has 5.1, it was swarming my room, but its all the old sounds,  not sure ill buy it though

[tonloc79]

Yeah im downloading the demo first. I always just buy them without testing, but not this time! Co-op is always fun though. Sure would be cool if they would make theese games fit a widescreen though.

How can you be sure you can't stretch it to fill the screen?  I thought the demo of Smash TV wouldn't let you stretch, but when I purchased it, the option was there to manually stretch the picture.

[hamwbone]

because i played a few times today, you can only resize it proportionally, its stays 4x3, you cant do a horizontal stretch...

Well what i meant was to format it to 16:9, im not interested in stretching it.

[hamwbone]

nope, cant =( i have a 55 inch wide screen and a 50 inch wide, so its dissapointing to me too, but i can see why i guess, for fairness over live i guess, keep every ones FOV equal

[Hyper_Eye]

It's even worse for me because I play on a 720p projector at 76" and the black area is huge for me. Plus my pj is LCD so I have to worry about persistent images if I play too long. How long would you want to leave a white screen up there to fix those things when you have a 2000 hour rated lamp? Replacing the lamp is $450.

or maybe because it might make the low res texture quality unbearable......

remember how low res the graphics on the classic doom is..?

[Hyper_Eye]

Do you realize how low resolution doom originally was? 720p is a big difference. Of course there have been clients around for a long time that add many things like client/server multi-player, higher res, mouse look, jump, opengl, etc.

[hamwbone]

yeah i know, changing the aspect doesnt change the texture size though, it actualy reshapes the display making a wider view of the lansdcape leaving everything the same...  we arent talking about merely stretching the image. and yes i know how small the res was, i wasnt born yesterday.     keep rollin em
