Shouldn’t these screens be swapped? The 4:3 matches the “seen by both eyes” of prey better, and the predator should be able to fit the widescreen in its “seen by both eyes” vision better.
The player is the predator/prey. A wide screen helps you see threats, a narrow screen helps you focus on targets.
I feel like they are placed correctly.
I think it’s more about distance but yes the size matters. I played Street Fighter 5 with and arcade stand closer than usual to my 46" television and I couldn’t focus on the match. There was so much going on. I narrowed the image with the settings and instantly things became better.
The smaller screen is for hunting and battling. The larger screen for adventure and scenic building. Samething with a scope on a rifle. Narrow the vision so you can focus on the hunt. The wider the vision the more likely you’d descover/see something special like a treasure or secret.
You couldn’t have just… Sat back a bit further from the screen?
Anon discovers FOV and probably higher framerates.
Windowed mode gamers:
Game developers:
You could just change your resolution…
Or even just paste on strips of paper to get the same effect.
If their logic rang true then gaming on a phone would be the ultimate immersion.
Nah, because 9:21 or whatever stupid resolution phones use now is basically even wider than 16:9, they just flip it on its side. 1:1 is the greatest resolution for gaming
you are supposed to play games vertically.
like when excellent cinematographers record drunken fights on wendys and post on facebook
I think you mean 1:1 ratio. 1 pixel by 1 pixel would be ultra no res 🤣
Something something Tiktok something something future is now old man.
Meanwhile I finally got a 21:9 and I’m so not going back! 120 FOV might finally feel normal at this ratio.
One day you will all awaken to the 1:1 master race and will see the world through new, perfectly square, eyes.
Mine are already squared… I wonder if it has to do with the 3-4 screens i have in my face all the time.
I will defend anon on the basis that having your HUD stretch from sea to shining sea assumes I have goat eyes.
good games let you move the hud closer to the middle
4:3 is a meme?
It gets memes because some people say “It’s better I swear!” Then die because an enemy was in a corner they didn’t check fully because they can’t see as much. It’s caused pros to actually lose games in CS:GO.
nah its pretty good actually
just that most media keep getting wider and wider
It’s the Comic Sans of aspect ratios
i’m happy to use a 48:9 screen then 👍👍👍
We’re talking arcade cabinet
