Love the info from the devs, but can we have HD images/videos please. 600x338...

[Altena]

Yes please. I would really love some super HD (2560x1440 or better) media, but if that is too much to ask, 1080p would suffice...

The low resolution of images released has zero to do with technology. I see all these posts about screen dimension standards and such but none of this has any meaning. the size of the images is arbitrary- I can't believe people are actually complaining about this, as if everyone runs their web browsers maximized at 1080p or higher...

You run your browser window windowed at half the screen or something?

At this point, I would like to know:

1) Who doesn't run their browser full screen.

2) Who is running a monitor at less than 1280x1020 resolution? (thats standard rez for a 19 inch square screen)

Anyone?

Full screen no, but 1080p (1920x1080) yes definitely.

This is trollish statement. Of course there has been a progression of display technology that makes images low res look more and more horrible. I pull up digital pictures I took 11 years ago and they look completely awful, but I thought they were awesome back then.
In the same vein, even my phone has a greater than 720p resolution and the picture posted by SE are maybe half that. I think the biggest question is why they don't use the low res for the blog/forum post and then just make them clickable so they open up to a larger resolution.
The native res of any original picture they take is almost certainly 8+ MP. Screenshots at least 720p+.

First I would like to say I understand. Secondly it would seem since this is taken from ARR blog what can you really expect. The only time you see professional work obviously is when it’s meant to be shown to the consumer towards “yes” this is what you will receive.

In other words since it is a blog the photograph and information is no more than a sketch in a journal. This format can be seen in many varieties of who and what is creating.



From the look of this photo obviously it's the PS3 version of ARR. Look at the action bar.

We have two more weeks or less until were able to be apart of beta lets hold our complaints until then.

1920x1200 times 2
Heck even my phone is 1080p.

1) Who doesn't run their browser full screen.

Most people I know, because most websites aren't designed for huge resolutions- there are many reasons for this- to be readable to the widest audience possible, to make it reasonably viewable on non PC devices like tablets and smartphones (sometimes you do this with a separate mobile site, but it isn't necessary if the site is well designed), to simplify multitasking, to take advantage of certain features like dragging files to the browser window to upload, dragging images out of the browser to save them, etc.

I have many windows on the screen- having my browser full screen makes the things I do more difficult than they have to be.

2) Who is running a monitor at less than 1280x1020 resolution? (thats standard rez for a 19 inch square screen)

I don't know, but 1280x1020 isn't 1080p. And standards change all the time. Inexpensive monitors bought just a few years ago don't have resolutions like that- the average person doesn't buy a new monitor as often as they upgrade other parts of their PC/buy a new PC.

This is trollish statement. Of course there has been a progression of display technology that makes images low res look more and more horrible.

It's not a trollish statement. And low res images don't look "more horrible" on high res displays unless you blow them up. Unless your vision is poor, you normally don't need to do this. The zoom feature is a visual aid, not something people normally use all the time.

Anyway, if they're just grabbing quick images and putting them on a blog, they're not going to be maximum quality- that shouldn't be a suprise. More care and attention has and is being given to more official material e.g. press releases and other forms of release to the media.

majority website are just 720p never 1080p.

Even press release images have barely scraped the mark at 1080p, since the 1.0 advertising 2 years ago. If you can link me to more then 3 1080p wallpapers or official release images, then I will give you a lolly. Fan-made screenshots of the CGI video's don't count.

*edit* I know these posts sound naggy but we do really appreciate the blog posts. We are just a bunch of anxious fans..
