A good resolution

[ryu_no_bishie]

I know im going kind of wild here with the threads and everything but i need this answered pretty badly,

my player world is going to enforce a standard resolution (like your TV)

monsters and creatures of the night wont be suprizing or scary if you can see them coming a mile away, but its going to suck if they appear out of no where so fast that players become frustrated.

at the moment im thinking 800X600 and for 960x600 wide screen(this is only if i can manage to get the game to zoom for full screen.) this is keeping in mind that sprites will be bigger and better preportioned in my server to allow better visual animation (like getting grabed by something or struggling away)

feedback? is this a good resolution?
