PS huds

PR24 · 2003-02-26, 07:11 AM

WTH is up with these massive huds? I truely hope they tone down the size of those things.

Does anyone else think these take up a little too much of the screen?

I don't think it takes up alott of space... it shows all the things you need to know..

but huds will most likely be very customable, can turn on what you want and turn off what you don't want to see.

I am saying the size alone. The huds are needed yes and I do want them but things like the compass are HUGE. Those could be toned down size wise a bit IMO.

and i'm saying i don't think they're too big

Yep the interface looks very EQesque - but with a different skin for the windows. They even use the same font and font colours!

Just like EQ, you will be able to move those windows around the screen and open/close windows to suit (and shrink them).

Thats the perfect HUD, you can remove what u dont wana see, personally all I need to see is the middle of the screen to see whose over my cross hair!

Im gonna place my butt on the line here an say the windows will be resizeable.

I don't care who flames me for "knowing" this

Its just a guess, but Im willing to bet George Bushes life on this...

The games resolution might also be at 800x640 so that might be why they are so large. Most sony online games have large windows that you can resize however you like.

mikkyT · 2003-02-26, 07:54 AM

Yeah good point Nav, those will be tiny in a decent 1280 res

Zatrais · 2003-02-26, 07:55 AM

psssst, it's 800x600

mikkyT · 2003-02-26, 07:56 AM

640x480, 800x600, they r both ghey!

korezero · 2003-02-26, 08:26 AM

hmm.. I though the hud looks fine perfect size even at the smaller resolution.. Maybe you can resize it too..

Well i'm used to playing EQ and other MMORPGs with big UIs so to me it is actually quite minimal...besides, they will probably make it transparent when your mouse isn't over it (like the "new" EQ UI)

korezero · 2003-02-26, 09:49 AM

that would be a nice feature so it doesn't get in your way but its there when you need it...

Frozen-Monkey · 2003-02-26, 08:13 PM

they take up some of your perifial sight but atleast you can see through them

If you look at them and look at different pictures, you will notice that you can at least minimize the different parts of the hud. Although I haven't seen the chat box minimized, I doubt that you can't minimize it.
