That "anomalies" section is giving me a hard time again... :oops: Hopefully season 3 of Primeval will cure that. (Sorry. Geeky.) |

So, I'm wondering. The black bars on the top and bottom of the screen on a 16:10 would be considered a anomaly, right? I mean, I wouldn't consider that to be full windscreen support. I believe Mirror's Edge has the same issue as well. |

No, it's not an anomaly. It's one of three correct ways to do widescreen. Some games are just designed for 16:9, and black bars on smaller aspect ratios is the only correct way to ensure that everyone gets the full frame. |

I get that it's a valid widescreen type, but it feels like more of a cop-out from the developers, as then they only really have to worry about 16:9 anomalies and if they get all of those and as long as their anomorphic implementation works, then there'll be no stretching, clipping, etc. ever. It works. But it's the easiest to get right. IMHO. For this game i can imagine a whole bunch of scenarios in my head why they did anomorphic. Still annoying though :evil: Not as annoying as crap widescreen support though :D So good work monolith. |

I'm on the last few levels and no issues yet to report... I know a few people who have completed the game and they reported no anomalies. I like 16:9 forced... I know it sucks for triple-headers, but it feels cinematic to me and the bars are barely noticeable. Looks to be another certified release, which is awesome. |

Report updated with details on the new optional fullscreen mode. This DR could use additional updating : - did anybody try multiplayer, 'Widescreen Off' or not ? - what happens to cut scenes (real-time and FMVs) in 'Widescreen Off' mode ? - more 'orthodox' screenies (4:3, 16:10, 16:9) to demonstrate 'Widescreen Off' would be appreciated too ;) (by me mostly) |
