Forums - Microsoft - Rare says they will not fix text in Banjo

Wow now I need an HD TV just to read text. I've noticed a lot of time the text was hard to read on 360 and it's really annoying. I wouldn't be surprise if a lot of people think the Wii has better graphics just because the text looks fine on an SDTV unlike the 360.



How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...

i just played the demo, and the text is perfectly readable. i am playing on an hdtv, but i'm struggling to see how this would be hard to see on a sdtv. the font doesn't seem that small!

trust me it looks much worse on a sdtv, i tried lpaying wipeout hd on a sdtv and text was just unbearable.

It's surprising that this still happens considering this issue with at least one or two high profile games in the past. It's especially surprising when you consider that one of the requirements of XBLA games (being readable on relatively small tv screens).

 

You beat me to it Legend11. I was about to bring up the same point. XBLA games have to be playable on a 13" TV. Its a requirement. Why would large budget retail titles not be held to the same standard? Its inexcusable.

Well, masturbation is bad for the eyes.  So I am not surprised that you had a hard time reading the text :)

Lol, i dont masturbate to low res porn on a sdtv, therefore i can only conclude that it was not the sperm covering the text bubbles and thus makeing unreadable, which was the problem . Unless if i did it without knowing, which is of course a possibilty.

Well, I guess that depends on how much you like the game.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

I have the most epic death scene ever in VGChartz Mafia.  Thanks WordsofWisdom! 

MGS4 has the same problem but it's less of an issue as it's only for the camo % and the items you pick up.

Before I got my HD TV, I played on a small SD TV and I couldn't see what my camo % was or what type of ammo I had just picked up, it didn't prevent me from finishing the game though.



Signature goes here!

Yeah, I was going to mention that about MGS4, but it didn't really detract from the game too much. It would've been nice to see the camouflage percentage and the ammo you pick up, but I've played through the game four times now without too much of a problem. It seems to be a major problem for Nuts & Bolts since the game script, and possibly mission objectives, text is way too small on a SDTV (and some have said it's hard to read even on a HDTV).



*Stops wanting to buy the game.

I hated the demo because of this.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?
