No 4K option???

[Animator2faith]

I own a 4K samsung monitor, when playing in 1080p it doesn't look sharp. Is there a native 4K option coming?

probably not, it's supposed to look authentic. I played it in 360 on my 2k 144 monitor and it looked just fine

if you're on the beta branch the 1080 mode is much sharper but still not quite what it sounds like you're expecting; bogosoft hasn't been too keen on introducing more modern features (outside of the 60fps mode) so you're probably out of luck

I'm going to request a refund, I understand the game is trying to go for a certain look, but If there is a widescreen option, there should be a 4K option. unacceptable.

Are there retro-style games that do have a 4k option?

If I had a 4k display to test it I'd be interested for the prospect of having a more accurate TV filter but probably unlikely to happen anytime soon.

You could try the new option in the launcher to switch the display to 1080p mode and see if that looks sharper than the normal scaling.

Hello, there are plenty of retro inspired games that have a 4K option. The crash bandicoot like retro game “psilosybil” has a 4K option. So does “ Pseudoregalia”, “toree 3D”, Cavern of Dreams, and “ Lunistice”.

I think the issue is that there aren’t options available, old pc games were forward thinking with future proofing in mind, for example the original max pain (2003) pc version had a 4K option back then when 4K monitors or 4K cab able graphics cards were available. The issue with 4K monitors is that when they down scale to anything that isn’t native, it looks really bad. If I had a 1080p monitor I wouldn’t have any issue, as a native image on right resolution looks great. I personally like to emulate or play my retro styled games with sharp visuals and no filter, that’s not an issue for me, because that’s how I remembered the games as a kid. Rare replay, has native 4K support that’s the ideal way for me to play banjo kazooie now.

Sorry if I come off as angry, I think corn kidz 64 is a lovely game, I’d just like to have more options that appeal to all types of gamers, especially as a pc gamer the lack of a 120 fps mode, and resolution options, caught me off guard. more options is a good thing. Hope this title continues to be supported and updated, hope you found this feedback helpful. Thanks for reading.

I've added this as an extra branch of the game. I can't properly test it myself but it should work. Try it out and let me know (select in game properties>betas>beta participation).

Adding it as a standard option could take some work but it turns out to be trivial to just add it as another branch that replaces the 1080p mode with 4K and doubles the resolutions.

Right now it only affects the former 1080p modes and doesn't improve the TV effect as I would like though I may or may not update that later.

I just wanna say thank you for not taking my feedback negatively, i wasn't expecting any development updates in terms of a 4K fix anytime soon. I generally can tell that you care, I will support you 100 percent in all of your creative endeavours, this is amazing customer service! I will give it a try and get back to you here soon. Thank you!

Hey update so i tried the 4K beta and it works perfectly, oh course some hud and ui are low res but thats the retro charm i guess, its soo clear now, But it honestly looks great on my monitor.

How hard would it be to add 1440p?
4k works fine for me, but it's still a lot more pixels then I can display.

Any chance 120fps could be a thing too?

Just like emulating N64 games at higher resolutions, the polys get crisper but the UI can't keep up; it's authentic!!!!

It should just downscale to 1440p, doesn't it? It downscales to 1080p fine for me.

Probably won't be adding 120fps.

Personally id enjoy 120fps too although i can understand that if you decide against it ultimatively because probably few would benefit.

Similar with Ultrawide resolutions like 32:9 (5120x1440) would be cool but im not sure how easy it would be to implement

In any case thanks a ton for listening to so much feedback already!

It works perfectly fine. With the low poly graphics it's probably not that much performance a lower res would save.
