No, osu! can just turn itself 16:9 with a letterbox. Just like Kirby's Adventure Wii/Kirby's Return to Dreamland would do when the TV's aspect ratio is 4:3.Oinari-sama wrote:
If the map is made for widescreen resolution, how are you going to handle 4:3 players? Scale the object distances? That'll be unfair to other players.
True dat--today's mapping styles may need a bigger canvas, so 16:9 would be REALLY great. Also some songs can't look good with such a canvas so we need a bigger one. Let the supporters promote this once ready.NazzzF wrote:
I've gotten used to play on widescreen resolution and mapping in square(4:3?) area is hard/uncomfortable.
The current ones do have scale for object distance(?) Mapped in 4:3 but scaled nicely for widescreen plays. It can be viceversa for the editor..Oinari-sama wrote:

Black bars at top/bottom for 4:3? That's one way of dealing with it... wish to hear from opinions from non-widescreen players.Baka Tenshi wrote:

btw, I really wished for this...16:9 is now a standard, so beatmaps have to be 16:9 too.
Im not asking to change the playing field, leave it as it is. Im talking about the editor mapping area being a 4:3 aspect ratioTheVileOne wrote:
The playing field needs to conform to everyone. I play with a 4:3 screen and I can't fathom squishing a widescreen playing field into a square. I still play with 800 x 600 resolution. I'm a dying breed but it is a preference.
If I'm misunderstanding anything, inform me.
Then ask yourself how the current system work? How did all the 4:3 map can be played in 16:9 resolution without adding border and stuff. And why cant map that is mapped in 16:9 cant be played in 4:3?Riince wrote:
can't see how this would work.
But then..the storyboard. If beatmaps are widescreen, storyboards are forced to be 720p? Or just widescreen but same rankable height? I'd say 720p...if peppy finds it okay.NazzzF wrote:

It's all about scaling.. Not forcing stuff to be widescreen.
Then explain this:-[Koinuri] wrote:
I don't think squishing 16:9 resolution to 4:3 the same way will work well because the sides uses more space than top and bottom (scoreboards and key press). If we downscale further to avoid overlaps with scoreboard and key press, playfield will look really squished and wide, it'll look unnatural (probably going to be something like half of top and bottom unused).
You...you just made what he said easier to understand. I couldn't understand what he said...Flower wrote:
I'm strongly against this idea. As -[Koinuri] expressed, this feature will add 4:3 players an "integrated hardrock mode".
Besides, if we seek other compromises, the notes will be easily off-screen.
