Tallscreen Gaming Bioshock

[SteelSkin667]

The most shocking thing is to see is that the game ACTUALLY scales on the vert axis rather than on the hor axis. Totally vert+.

[CompactDstrxion]

I remember watching this video three years ago when the Bioshock widescreen issues were all the news and it's just as funny today! Unreal Engine 3 games still don't get it right!

[KINGhotaru11]

lol..  i want one

[ImSpartacus811]

This is just too fucking funny. I love this video.

[bredcaykZ]

lmao this is amazing

[provoko]

@Luke1d20 =)

[sunnii11]

#LOL he seems to be getting an orgasm.. maybe first time a man with a multiple orgasm :D

[sionmagee33]

why get a pc when you can get a wide screen 40 inch lcd tv ?? thats super wide and super tall.

[0neweak]

this is hilarious. what's also hilarious is some of the comments.

[MrAviArun]

Is this video supposed to sound sarcastic or what?

[TonkatrainHONKHONK]

lol of course

[agwellin]

"In the future, they'll make games not only TALL, but WIDE as well! But this is good for now."

My favorite line

[StrongPimpin]

mkay, before my g.f pointed out to me the whole "this is basically a joke" thing, i was going to ask if you wer a virgin =]

[weirdal27]

shut up.

This is awesome. You are awesome, provoko.

[OriginOfDeviance]

Armtastic!

[tummysticks80]

@OriginOfDeviance

lol looks like a praying mantis

[heydog5]

calm down before u blow a load christ its called a life try and get one...

[HatlabuFarkas]

Hey provoko, i have buyed a NEW 22" wide screen, and i wanna play TALLSCREEN mode. but my CATALIST is disable the rotation, and freezes @ zero degrees. how to UNLOCK this rotation ability ?? :D

[jaspertodd]

Dont get me wrong its cool but i dont like it.Maybe i just gotta get used to it?I played it on my pc the same way and just couldnt get into it.So i just play on my lcd 68inch sony.I like big lol.

[davdd1032]

'and you know, in the future, they're going to make screens not only tall, but wide too! so you'll see everything. but this shit's good, it's good.'

ahaha

[juicebox0]

Did you read my full post? i think you stopped after "I somewhat doubt that"

Telling me to not take things seriously

from what i'm getting this guy knows what he's talking about, but is having fun being a douchebag ranting and raving about a really stupid (but neat) way to play a game.

he called Field of View Fov, he made it so you could see the arms clipping at the shoulders, and raved about it

from my Pov (yes, sound it out) he wanted to get flammed, and he got it,  all in good fun :D

[provoko]

from my Pov!? hahaha, that was a good one

[hoju93]

arm started already clip

[juicebox0]

"The future of gaming", I somewhat doubt that. The future of gaming would be having a screen that is as wide as it is tall, just a lot bigger, cause whats better than native 1440x900? maybe a monitor that has native 1440x1440, just a thought. And stop getting "wet" over new technology and stop cumming your pants before the game even starts, you just ruin a good pair of pants when ever you go to render anything.

[vallyshooter]

Hmm, hey hey...Notice that thing next to the video, whats it caled, 'Video discription'

Lets see what it says....OH WOW

'This is basically a joke. Please don't take anything you hear or see seriously.'

Read the description dumb ass.

[drkistan]

you are a complete moron! The way you speak makes me throw up.

[dcotton59]

lol, it is just satire

[provoko]

throw up really? ouch... Hmmm, maybe you're just bulimic... good luck with that.

[1Noisycricket]

@drkistan What a dick

[kanjok3]

[Cleezy88]

LOL I LOVE THIS, this is one of the best videos on youtube lol so funny.

[provoko]

THANKS!  I'm glad I made you laugh. =)

[juicebox0]

it was funny, at first, i was like "man, this guy is an idiot" but watching the full video made me change my mind, it was a good laugh, there are some games they should really implement tall screen gaming into.. like old school donkey kong so mario doesnt look so short, lol

[HUNT3Rwag2]

u no what is only a game man fuck

[provoko]

Uh... I'm sorry HUNT3Rwag2, in what game do you get man fucked?

[dpImagine]

[xkillpeoplex]

[PRODVDi]

[PRODVDi]

[Hrakleus]

[UltraHiResolution]

The ending FOV editing was SO KOOL!

How did u edit it?

[provoko]

Just updated this video's info with a link to the Bioshock FOV Hack.  Enjoy it. =)

[UltraHiResolution]

thnx

[TheHahah]

Truly Armtastic! 2K has done it again!

[masterchief2528]

I keep hearing people say fullscreen is obsolete, and that now widescreen is oboslete, and that the future will bring us tallscreen AND widescreen. And, the best part? It's not at all like the original fullscreen! It's tall and wide!

Tall + Wide = Full? Hell no man! They're totally different!

[3Zo0oZ86]

FKNG AWESOME!!

[backlash164]

i did the same thing to my compueter now i play games at a new praspective lol.

[nicolite]

omg what you did was awesome!!! excellent job provoko!

[PostalPsyko]

Well it's good that I have a 4:3 monitor then, I can have the best of both, not more of one than the other :D

[insigna5]

is dis guy ok

[kzrick188]

LOL. tallness is awesome!

[lolak47]

ohh shit thats funny

[Zohnar]

wouldent ya get the same effect doing what ya did at the end if ya did a full screen? i meen its all about seeing more so just doing that right off the bat would fix it insted of fliping your screen.

[ItamiBukoto]

Wow...that's just...beautiful

[eatablelemming]

this is soo funny lol great work :)

[provoko]

Thanks. =)

[WCarnation]

who really cares about how it looks?

[cringedragon]

LOL!!!! you were like je**ing off right after you flipped it, lol! it would've been funnier if your screen fell down!!

[henraus]

You made me laugh so much, thank you! :'D

[provoko]

Thanks.  =)

[Drummerking101]

I have the same EXACT monitor

[Jasonc624]

[XxUKNOWmEXx]

wow, that looks terrible, lol, looks much better normal, lol tall? dude u can see the same stuff on the normal screen, u are offically gay my friend! lol

[provoko]

Officially?  DAMN IT! Haha.

[SnedPies]

"OMG OMG i could see that purse come from the top" *shocked expression*

[tattoobob2007]

LOL provoko YOUR A NOOB!

DUDE! YOU SEE THE SMOKE IN ANY VIEW DUMBASS.

AND THE MOON LOL THAT TOO.

I AM A MODDER AND KNOW MY SHIT. LOL

[provoko]

Hahaha. A modder just told me off. My internet penis just shrank, good thing it's not real. Haha.

[tattoobob2007]

HaHaHa. your to into this Tallscreen Gaming dude!

i have news for you provoko viewing anything like this is not better and infact you do not get the full viewing spectrum.

i bet you have A.D.D ( O )_( -- )

[provoko]

Haha. I got pwned again.  Tattoobob2007 you're completely right,... if this video hadn't been a joke. Haha! You may have to mod your sense of humor. =) Thanks for watching.

[halosecretseeker]

i acully thout it was a pretty good vid now i know more about the envioment of bioshock and hey i found a few good areas for cover but sry have to give it a 7/10 just not good enuf shot of the areas

[Fredy216B]

Hmm, SHUT UP

[Macgyver212]

U R GAY!

[andresn2007]

un boludo!!!

[provoko]

Um, what?

[Shackle]

lmao "In the future they will make screens that are not only tall, but also wide"

[SilverDragon90]

what size is your monitor?

[provoko]

19"

[TeaBaggingTony]

I've been talking to alot of industry analyists and experts and they all say this is just a step to the ultimate form of gaming, Diagonalscreen gaming. You will get the best of both world of tall and widescreen gaming. Then, if you take 2 diagonal monitors you can crisscross them to form an 'X' configuration for the ultimate setup.

[stubobis1]

nice...

[Kylamiis]

I bet that it could be made to work even with dualscreen setup,

so no waiting for those futuristic tall+wide scifi monitors!

(tho the center pillar will have to get used to - hey but thats a small price to pay for ÜberTallness­ !!!)

[Y2KGTA]

LOL!I turned all mine Sideways.

[provoko]

Enjoying FEAR sideways? Hehe.

[mquaglia]

...in the future ...there not only gona tall...but wide....omgg....."" yer buddy its called a square...and thats been the shape of screens since they were invented..lol

[provoko]

Congratulations, you're the first person that didn't catch the joke. You get -500 points. Haha.

[PluviusAestivus]

lol

[JoniJenkins]

ARMTASTIC

[rja472]

my TV screen is 80in i could see it all and more

[provoko]

Holy Sht, are you serious? Do you have a video of it? That's insane, haha.

[rja472]

yea my uncel owns a HDTV company we got it like for for 200$ it was originally about 9,000$ i think mabey a lil more

[provoko]

I'll take two! =)

[LALOMAN18]

"Wide Screen is out, Tall Screen is in" lol... funny shit!!!

[GuErO136]

Man you were pissed when you wrote this. Like your sense of humor though. Seirously though, Bioshock is a good game, get the patch for your game and enjoy it, don't give up on it.

[provoko]

Thanks. =) I'm actually playing Bioshock on the 360 with the standard FOV. I'm used to it from the Halo games and a few others. It's actually nice in Bioshock, it gives this claustrophobic feeling. Of course it would be nice to see more of the environment because it's so rich.

[Eidrog51]

Just so you know i knew he was not serious -_- I was playing along but in real life it is different wich can make it pretty fun sometimes. And that part were the arm was going across the screen was awesome!

[ekstrakboy]

"that`s tallscreen gameing" LOL

[davuz]

For the people who don't understand:

It's a fucking joke, get your head out of your arse for a second and realize, it's a piss take of 2k for their crappy widescreen support, bunch of retards.

[Lazyimperial]

This has got to be one of the funniest youtube videos I've ever seen. It is so ridiculous, and yet... so believeable. I actually wouldn't be surprised if there was some strange group, hidden on a secluded webpage, obsessed with da "tawness." :P

[provoko]

Haha, believable.

[axxs]

lol and in the future future,we'll have the omni

screen.Why stop at tall screen when u can have a screen tall and wide enough to show the room ur pc is sitting in?

[provoko]

Haha.

[Saiiiiiii]

great satire

[provoko]

Thanks.

[TheCunningHam]

This leads to a good question, what is better for both enjoyment and gaming abilty: Wide screen or tall?

[provoko]

Cross-screen, it's the next big thing, it uses the advantages of widesreen and tallscreen. Watch for it.

[GuErO136]

360 Bitches!!!!! I played through the whole game on widescreen with no problems and i got Bioshock on the day it came out.

[provoko]

Too sexy.

[JonSayzRice]

great video. he can see the top AND bottom. he's set when fighting spider splicers now =P

[provoko]

Those spider splicers get me everytime on my Xbox 360 (widescreen only)

[JonSayzRice]

those things are friggin wild, eh?

[Gconry]

LMAO nice one man... ARMTASTIC !!!!

[provoko]

Thanks.

[Syraxius]

rofl everytime i come here the comments never fail to crack me up ahaha

[Jsweez]

Dude. Hilarious.

its like nobody else understands the concept of comedy.

props.

[provoko]

It's not a hard concept either. Maybe I should have been wearing a clown hat or something.

[inkiemana]

omg he looks so gay with his noob tallscreen

[provoko]

Haha. Noob.

[ulikeilike]

Haha ur the noob u noob

[Darni187uk]

Yeah but you now lost the sides, so you cant see badies coming at you from the side until they are in your face, that was the point of the game. Tall screen shows u more up and down but this area of the game nothing really happens. This is a bit dumb. Daamm u need help.

[provoko]

Haha. Yea, you're right about the badies. But you might need more help than me if you actually believed tallscreen gaming is a real thing. Haha.

[EKclick]

wtf is wrong wit this guy an playin the game like that look weird i dont tink id play it like that at all fuckin sycho guy need rehab

[provoko]

Uh what? Spellcheck and use proper grammer next time.

[InFeRnoBraVeHeart]

Look at you face man, it's sad to see young people like that... Oh yeah, i'm pretty sure, you need a doctor... a gay doctor maybe...

[provoko]

Wow. Whats next, a mom joke? Haha. Grow up or get a brain. I hope you're not this slow in real life.

[InFeRnoBraVeHeart]

Man, you are idiot! Live your f*cking life... Find a girlfriend (boyfriend better...) or s'thing... OMG! How many idiots does your fucking country (Yeah, i mean Americaaa) have? OMG! I forgot it, America is the place where all the stupids and freaks, can live together! F*ck off! All of you...

[provoko]

Haha, what? Dude sorry, but you are the most unintelligent guy that's come here to comment.

I don't see how my video and America have anything to do with each other. The video is a joke, a parody, it's that simple. You just look like a moron and a loser with your comment.

[davuz]

Coming from the geek who plays World of Warcraft.

[provoko]

Haha, good one.

[uacghost]

that guy is having a total geekasim LoL

[provoko]

Mmm hmm.

[thefrail86]

my god, I'm not even done watching and I can't stop laughing. It's hilarious that people thought you were serious.

[provoko]

Thank you. =)

[snailer12]

Hehe its pretty funny how you do that,

Untill the part where u saw the back of his arm xD

[provoko]

Thanks.  =)

[Th0rn0]

Update. Just tried it (should have done it first I know)and. Its ok. But not great. Didn't feel the 'vibe' everyone is getting. Its diffrent. Yes. But Widescreen was at one point.

[Syraxius]

rofl this is just a spoof about bioshock's bad widescreen support =p

[provoko]

Didn't feel it eh? Thats probably because your eyes aren't lined up vertically on our face. Haha.

[Th0rn0]

Personally. I don't like it. Its not realistic. And thats what games are aiming for. If you draw out you FOV (field of vision) Its more widescreen or normal then Tall screen. ITs a nice Idea. But Widescreen hasn't really caught on yet. Not alot of games support it. I eman I use a widescreen monitor. 19" Cibox (Budget FTW) to be exact. But I'm not felling tall screen. Nice idea. But no.

[Eidrog51]

Just tried the tallscreen thing...It was the most amazing experience of my life. I could see that whole tower top to bottom with out having to look up. Tall screen FTW.

[Eidrog51]

That made me lmao more than i have in a while. Thx for that man.

[provoko]

No ones ever said that to me. Not only is my screen taller, but so is my heart. Haha.

Thanks for the comment.

[badbaby702]

awesome video!! Tallscreen baby!!

[provoko]

Someone's comment is giving me a 90 degree pivot.

[mundox86]

dude tallscreen gaming will own teh world!

[provoko]

That's a scary thought. How would we be able to defend our selves against a legion of tall robotic glowing screens? We'd literally sit idly by and watch them.. DESTROY US!!

[TeaBaggingTony]

Man I can't wait until Hollywood switches to tallscreen. My top eye gets fatigued watching those widescreen movies, especially in cinemascope wide.

[blunden2]

Yeah! Think about when the HD movies are 1920p.

Would look kinda strange letterboxing widescreen content in 2.35:1 aspect on you tallscreen though. ;)

[LordEverdon]

Hilarious :P

[provoko]

Thanks.  =)

[blunden2]

The manufacturers are already catching up with the Tallscreen format. For some reason they have named the feature "pivot" to confuse us all and make us buy their new 10:16 monitors when they come out. ;)

Too bad those poor 4:3 users can't see the game as tall as it was intended. We need a video showing some kick ass tallscreen gaming on the 4:3 using letterboxing on the sides. :D

[provoko]

Letterbox the sides!! Hahaha.

[blunden2]

How else would everyone the new hotness that is tallscreen?

All that is needed is probably a 4:3 or 5:4 LCD, adding a tallscreen resolution like 640x1024 with powerstrip (if the driver doesn't accept it) and then setting the "centered" or "keep aspect ratio" scaling mode in the nvidia driver panel.

[blunden2]

I guess you could also just add 1024x640 (16:10 AR) and use the rotate setting. The driver might accept that more easily. Tell me what you think. You made it sound like you were sincere when I would have just burst out laughing right away. That's why I don't try the method I mentioned. :D

[provoko]

It's just a ridiculously funny method becoming reality, which makes it even funnier. =)

It's like saying how funny it would be to have two heads, and then actually having two heads.. either funny or horrifying, I think most would laugh, haha.

Good show.

[blunden2]

Too bad I don't have a video camera then or a 4:3 monitor. Well, I thought I could at least throw the idea out there. :D

Can't stop laughing when watching your video. Keep it up. :D

[MRofTOWN]

WOW you are a lame ass. Tall screen is stupid its.

[provoko]

Nah man, tall is the bomb.

[eriko9]

lolz tall screen sucks

[bahandi]

hahaha... funny stuff

[provoko]

Thanks.

[HiiiiCourtney]

weirdo

[wsuwg]

hahaha awesome

[provoko]

Thanks. =)

[FriedchikenCamo]

That man in the video is crazy! Get the monitor away from him!!! D:

;)

[provoko]

Yea, I might break it. Haha. Thank goodness it didn't fall over without the stand.

[Dustmuffins]

Haha, loved it. I have the same monitor, I think I'll give that a try =D

[provoko]

Thanks. =) It's the SyncMaster 931BW, you get yours on black friday too?

[NiGHTSChao689]

Fuck yes, samsung FTW

thats the monitor I have

[provoko]

Awesome, we can both tall screen. Haha.
