You have to fool around with the preyconfig.cfg file exactly the same way as other Doom 3 engine games. Its a shame that there are no widescreen resolutions right in the game (the game lets you pick aspect ratio but no WS res :confused: ) but a little editing and you'll get the 1680x1050 res.

seta r_customHeight "1050"
seta r_customWidth "1680"
seta r_mode "-1"

games that don't support wide screen resolutions should be banned.. LIke come on, support everything - like valve!
 
Can someone post screenshots? I'd look myself but I can't due to a company filter blocking all game sites. I can shut it down seeing as I am in charge of it, but not ethical and shows up on the reports :p

Being an old fart myself, I like the "classic rock" tunes in the game.

But I've figured out why they are there...not to appeal to some old fart demographic, but because when the game first started production, those songs were NEW. ;)

Ha. I listened to those songs when they were new. It was a "different" approach. But still made me think of some sleezy dive bar out in the middle of nowhere. I could almost smell the bad beer and urine. I guess it worked.

On a different note.....when do you edit the config file for 1650x1080???before or after you set up everything else in the options????

After. Set all your visual options first. Exit the game then edit the config file. If you go back into the video options after editing it the res may go back to the default 4:3 (640x480??!..nasty!).

I think FEAR had this exact same problem.

For widescreen don't forget to add/change:

seta r_aspectRatio "2"

Runs great at 1920x1080, 4xAA and 16xAF, all other details set to high, with my Crossfire setup. Then again it should, it's an old engine.

Where do I put this at?
 
I really liked it. I enjoyed the creature weapons a lot.
I have never used an "alive" weapon in a game before.

I will have to get used to shooting enemies while upside down.
I will buy this game.

I was really hoping that the dudes that you find cowering and screaming would settle down and try to
escape with me or something. I wanted to smack them and say "Get a hold of yourself man!"

As far as I know, there is no seta_r aspect in the config file, aspect is a choice in the video options.
 
who all else got very dizzy and disoriented when you're given the options of walking on any side of the rooms? I mean when it came to shooting those glow pads to change the gravity I was trippin and getting confused. First time a game has ever made me dizzy.

Well if you set up your options in the game first including changing the aspect ratio to 16:9/16:10 then the "seta_r aspectratio" line should be in the config file. For me that line was near the bottom of the config list.
 
sorry, that may be true, I may not have looked far enough down the list, but it should take care of itself because you can choose that (widescreen aspect) in the options "in game".

Agreed we should start a Political party. Oh wait there already is! widescreengamgingforum.com :D

1680x1050 FTW :p
 
From a Christian’s perspective I rate this demo a 6 out of 10. The graphics were great; I was very impressed with them considering I’m running with everything on high, with a 6600GT and an athlon xp 3000+. I played through I would say around 90% of the demo. What I didn't like about it was the obsessive amount of cussing that was unnecessary. It makes me wonder if the developers were running out of different cuss words to use so the kept on saying the F-bomb. I also didn’t care for the “spiritual” aspect of the game. It goes against my beliefs and fellow Christian beliefs. For those two reasons I am not going to buy the game, even though I think it had the chance to be very intriguing. Well, there you go just my $0.02 from a Christian. May God bless.
 
Was anyone else suprised by the part where the two children are in the room?
I won't say what happens, don't want to spoil it.
But though it doesn't bother me too much, it is the first time I have really seen any violence with children in a video game... kinda messed up..

Is this a joke (seriously)? If you are offended by this game you have some serious problems. I'm Christian and found nothing offensive against my faith. No jesus bashing, no burning crosses... It's an M rated game, it's allowed to have cursing, you should have expected that...

Dingo, I was really suprised about the children. I'll go ahead and spoil it cuz it's only a demo... I kind of liked it because it was a suprise, I thought you were gonna have to save em or some shit, but when she got possessed and impaled that boy I was taken back. Different, gross, cool :)

So since he has the sense and discipline to NOT rot his brain with garbage he's got problems? You can't bash someone for doing what they want. Sheesh... He says he's A Christian, not christian. He's probably a born-again believer, my man. Folks get the two confused.

Anyhoo... The game looks great and it plays like Doom 3 and Quake 4 but with a couple cute extras. I probably won't buy the game because the story just didn't interest me.

I'm buying this game just for the music at the reservation, Heart, Edgar Winter, Ted Nugent, and the Blue Oyster Cult as a you get abducted is feaking classic. The game is fun too.

Don't forget Judas Priest :D

I liked it cause it really does get the point across that these aliens are really nasty creatures. But I'm just saying, I bet we'll see something on the news about it. I don't think we've seen children impaling children in games before. :-P
 
I asked that because it seemed to be almost a joke. Please explain to me the difference between "A Christian and christian". I don't want to turn this thread into a religous discussion but the game doesn't break any of the commandments. You aren't following a false Idol because you play as a Native American. I've become calloused to cursing, it doesn't matter to me, but it may to others, but there were warning about the language in the M rating intro. Anyways, who's gonna, "Awww shucks, I just got abducted by aliens who killed my grandfather and are going to kill my girlfriend. This is just a sticky predicament..." So I don't think the tone and language are totally out of line. By downloading this demo you pretty much had a good idea of the content.

That's cool, man, it's all good. I just think we need to show each other some respect especially when we're talking about beliefs and faiths. Let the man show his opnion, show yours and move on. ;)

Is your faith in God and your Savior so weak that exposure to another belief system is a problem? And a fairly benign belief system at that, one that could easily be incorporated into Christian cosmology (and often is).

you can turn off the cussing if it bothers you. most of the world is NOT Christian so you might as well get used to getting offended.
 
I think the game was fun. This really isnt the first game to introduce bad language
 
Ok guys, let's leave religion out of this conversation. I won't give you the lecture on General Mayhem, but you may subscribe if you want.
 
The language at least sounded more natural than FEAR's did.

I read that the demo's save games will work with the full game so you don't have to replay the first hour again once you buy the game.

Having said that, while the portals and wall walking were neat, overall there wasn't too much to get me excited about the game. It looks very well made and polished (except for the human characters' faces) but it just didn't get me as excited as i thought it would.
 
I'm impressed with this game, the gameplay is unique and different. I love the gravity orientation aspect of the game plus the portals, freaky, makes for fun gameplay cause your perspective is all different ways.
 
for once a new game comes out that we dont have go buy a better video card for. my 6600 along with an xp 2400+ and 768mb ram can easily handle this at 1024x768 with high settings. i know its built on the doom3 engine but the game looks much more crisp. i didnt even realize that i didnt have any AF on till half way through the game.
 
Yeah i've gotta say wow just wow, it was longer then i expected. and every inch of it was great! this is a must buy for my pc ^_^

did you figure out how to use the green teleports yet?? ;)
 
What impresses me the most is the portals, and then water (flush the toilets in the bar). Doom3 engine did not give to water very well. That in itself was a feat.

But...I kind of like the gravity thing. After I played for a while, I went and sat on the back porch, looked up at the ceiling and had the vision of walking on it after hitting the gravity changer button. :D
 
I didn't really like it all that much. The gravity changing was fun and all, but I really disliked the whole gun is always right on target kind of thing. I like having to actually slow down and aim, instead of just run>twitch>jump>shoot>headshot. I'll stick with my Half Life games I think.
