The game looks incredible but I plead for 1 more zoom

Post by jpinard »

Hi Hubert and co. I still have a write-up with a bunch of notes, but I wanted to take a quick moment to say how fantastic the game looks, but for those of us with high resolution monitors, we desperately need one more level of zoom. I'm not even on a 4k, 2560x1600 but even on my 30" monitor the max zoom still leaves my eyes needing a closer view.

One thing that really blows me away is just how gorgeous the art is in this game. While I realize I could change resolution to a lower one, the problem is going non-native. If I drop to 1920x1200 (and this is the same for everyone on a computer monitor vs. tv) the images get blurry, muddy along with the text. It really hurts how a game looks.

I think one more zoom level of ~25% would be perfect.

Actually, even going so far as 40-50% extra zoom might not be too much.

I'm playing 2560x1440 and I'd like one more zoom out level.
Young eyes here and i love the strategic overview that would get me.
Perhaps make it configurable.
But if i'm not mistaken it will require a whole lot of extra artwork. [:(]

Even if they needed to do a photoshop pass that increases the size of the unit What they can do is create a special option as an ini tweak, or official in the game and then we select. Photoshop allows one to do batch conversions so I don't see this being an unreasonable amount of work. The payoff would be huge and I'm guessing there will be a lot of people asking for this as the entire computer gaming world is moving to much higher fixed resolutions.

I included the ini tweak as a possibility because if Matrix/Fury is worried about a less detailed or imperfect extra zoom option and don't want the general public zooming in that far, power users would still have the ability then, to adjust the ini and force the extra zoom.
