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?

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

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.

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.

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

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...... rolleyes.gif

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

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.

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

Of course changing the aspect dosn't change the texture size. But, the game is being displayed in 720p so the comment about res making the game horrid is irrelevant. It is already displayed at that resolution. The trick to properly changing aspect ratio is to change the field of view. There is a difference between stretching and changing field of view. When changing field of view more textures are going to be seen on the horizontal. The size of those textures remains the same. You seem to understand this concept. I wish they would have taken the time to do it instead of doing a recompile, adding some multiplayer, and sticking on arcade.

Nobody here implied you were born yesterday but I was gaming long before Doom and it was revolutionary when it came out. In my opinion it has aged extremely well.

If this post seems strange it is probably because we posted at the same time and you didn't quote so I thought you were replying to me at first. This post is relevant anyway.

what im confused about is that on the Live arcade montage they showed doom in full WS.  it also showed games that were not WS so it doesnt make sense to me

Yeah, It was me being stupid. Found it last night. Gotta say it plays quite nicely. Didn't see any widescreen option but think this will be one of my first live purchases as soon as I have some dosh to get some points.
