Farny Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Will Alpha Protocol be playable on an SDTV? And by "playable" I mean will all of the text be easily readable? Please no one tell me to "just buy an HDTV". I know this is an option, but it doesn't answer my question nor is it helpful or constructive. Thanks.
Cl_Flushentityhero Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 I think so? Obviously they're not going to demo it in SD, so it may be impossible to tell until the actual release.
Matthew Rorie Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 We have a few people who test on SDTVs (I have one in my office and haven't had any legibility problems), and I believe some of our HUD guys have been going through in SD themselves. Obviously you'll be better off with an HDTV display, but hopefully you won't have any legibility problems with an SDTV screen. If you do have an SDTV, though, bigger is obviously better.

Warren Bills Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 this is good to know. in fallout 3, text wasnt very sdtv friendly. s. i'll only be abe to upgrade to hdtv in a couple yeARS
Silvernite Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 How legible would you reckon a 32 inch SDTV monster be?

GunFox Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 If you have problems, you can probably hook it up to your monitor and roll that way. Generally getting sound functioning will require some doing, but at worst the equipment necessary is usually pretty cheap. I used to have all my consoles hooked up to my monitor so I could watch TV and game.
Killian Kalthorne Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 That is what I did before I got my HDTV. It requires a VGA/AV adapter plug in.

Farny Posted September 9, 2009 Author Posted September 9, 2009 That's good to hear! Thanks for the info, much appreciated.
