Widescreen Gaming Forum

Wikipedia said it should be here today. So where is it? Or, to be more appropriate given the game mechanics, when is it?

For such a stickler for accurate info, i'm surprised you mentioned Wikipedia. That's the last place I go for my info...

But anyway....

The bad news is, I am delaying it slightly, til April 10th.

That's today.

Oh.. that link was originally before the edit.

Well, give it another day or two, i guess.

Almsot unrelated, but... http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/203-Braid

It's out some places... I know it's out on playgreenhouse.com.

I would bet it hits Steam shortly before they close up for the weekend, which would be 5pm their time or 8pm mine.

Its out on steam in an hour or so.

Does anyone else find that its insanely hard to find places to buy certain new games? Like one I really had trouble with was Bionic Commando Rearmed. If its not on steam or on E-tailers like Amazon, I almost don't even know what to do!

Yeah, if a downloadable more casual game like this isn't on Steam, I don't get... usually.

It's here!

Downloading the demo as we speak, to make sure there's nothing horribly wrong with it.

And there's nothing horribly wrong with it. Except that the fourth world, where walking left makes you travel into the past and right makes you travel into the future, makes my brain hurt.

It only supports three resolutions, though. 1280x720, 1280x800, and 1280x1024. The latter two are 720p with black bars on top and bottom. I can honestly say, though, that "hor -" in 16:10 would be fail for this game.

Also, there's no way to specify your resolution (that I know of). It tries to guess the right one based on your desktop resolution.

If your desktop is 1280x720, you get 1280x720.
If your desktop is any larger widescreen resolution (doesn't matter if it's 16:10, 16:9, or more), you get 1280x800.
If your desktop is not widescreen, you get 1280x1024, even if your desktop is smaller than 1280x1024.

Lastly, if you use the parameter "-windowed," it runs in a 1280x720 window.

Yeah, I searched and searched for an .ini entry to see if it would work like World of Goo and found nothing.
