Change resolution?
The description mentions HD and widescreen resolutions. Is there a method to change the resolution? I'm only finding a fullscreen option, exactly like the original TBOS

I think you can just drag the window to make it bigger. Maybe you can find a program to resize it to your desired window size.

I'm talking in fullscreen mode.

Exactly. I mean, it's not a dealbreaker at all, but I was kinda planning on not having a garbled up 640x480 Flash animation on my 1080p display.

Unfortunately we can't even change resolution in the options file where the save is located

Just pick full screen and start the game. The menu looks way worse than the game. It is 1080P HD when I fullscreen, the menu is just deceiving.

The game isn't for me. The menu looks ok, but in the game, it's blocky as all get-out. It looks like an old Sega Genesis game hooked up through coax to an HDTV

I really hope they fix their ♥♥♥♥... I can't upload a positive video about this game to my YouTube if the resolution is this low and the game is so bugged...

I have a feeling that you are just being nit picky about the art style. It is a retro style game you know. The game is without a doubt running at 1080p when I full screen it. You all are just being picky or have no clue how to diagnostics.

What we are seeing is a 360p rendered graphic style, then upsampled to1080p through FXAA and MSAA x16. That's not retro style. That's just making the game low res, then AA it to give it blurry lines. Saying it looks old at that point doesnt make sense either as old games didn't have AA.

Actually the AA for blurry lines is an option in the menu and I highly recommend turning it off instead of being a dunce. It comes turned off to begin with for goodness sake. The option is called filter, make sure its off.

Cow is right. The game is rendered at a predeterminted resolution and then upsampled to your monitor's native resolution. There's a difference between rendering at a resolution and displaying at a resolution.

It's like when you play a 720p video on a 1080p monitor in VLC, and make it full screen. You're *displaying* at 1080, but *rendering* at 720.

We're not being picky - the description in the store is completely wrong. It's not just misleading, it's incorrect. There's only two settings - filtering (which equates to the Flash/ActionScript equivalent of a Low/High quality toggle) and Fullscreen (which just pulls an API to remove the window frame).

Have nothing against the resolution it's at atm but thought there would be options to change the rendering resolution instead of just displaying at 1080 considering what I had read

"The game has full-screen support and more resolution options."
http://bindingofisaac.wikia.com/wiki/The_Binding_of_Isaac:_Rebirth


"Q:Will rebirth be full screen and have resolution options that dont suck!?
A: yes rebirth features all the support that any normal non-flash game would feature."
http://edmundm.com/post/73199145767/the-binding-of-isaac-rebirth-2014-q-a

especially since Edmund wrote it like that can't imagine any other non flash game rendering at 480 x 272 but displaying at 1080. Thought it wouldn't be a fixed rendering but just a native.

can clearly see that it's just stretched from being in windowed then going fullscreen.

like pixelated games so this isn't a dealbreaker just kinda feel like they were somewhat bending the truth by writing it like that, will still have a lot of hours of fun with the game:)

not a native english speaker so sorry for grammatical errors

i recently got a 3440x1440 2.39:1 monitor and i love the extra screen space for 2x2 rooms, although proper resolution support instead of upscaling would be awesome.
