Widescreen Resolutions

[swaaye]

One of my biggest annoyances with KOTOR 1 was the limited number of resolutions. This wasn't really an issue until I got this laptop with its 1280x800 resolution. The fact that KOTOR doesn't support this resolution means I have to play it in 1024x768 and get the blurring pixel resizing of the LCD.

 

Can we get some new resolutions in part 2?

This has been answered in a new interview.

PC owners will be glad to hear that the game will feature a heads-up display that will scale with the resolution at which you choose to play the game, as opposed the display in the original game, which was locked at an 800x600 ratio

I think he's talking about intermediate resolutions, as I think 1280 by 800 or whatever is. I don't have a copy with me, otherwise I'd check, but I'm fairly certain it lacked support for resolutions that were unusual - thus the, "widescreen" resolution bit of the topic. Could be wrong, though.

Heh, I just read that hands-on preview at gamespot. It sounds promising.

 

Yes, I do mean 'strange' resolutions. Many laptops and widescreen TVs use resolutions that games that have fixed resolutions rarely support. KOTOR only supported like 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, and 1600x1200 I believe. It lacked the ability to adapt to different resolutions since the developers had to redo that interface art for each resolution.
