/vr/ - Retro Games

depends on the game
most games should be played in 8:7 as they were developed unless youre chasing nostalgia but some games were slick enough to account for the stretching

would be funny if there's art asset in the game that uses the opposite

Then why didn't they make assets to match it? And why were all their other games made with the same mode not made with non-square pixels in mind? And why does ensuring circles are perfectly round matter in every other game but not in Doom? And why did Carmack say he prefers crisp square pixels?

Fact is, everyone has been getting the Doom aspect ratio wrong for years. It was never designed to be viewed with stretched pixels.

It would appear there isn’t. Scenes like this in CT don’t look correct at 8:7, but character portraits do. It seems like some assets were made with 4:3 in mind and others weren’t.

Nintendo's games are meant to be played in 8:7. Other developer's games are meant to be played in 4:3.

Das it.
