Ya, someone had to start a topic on this, and I'm hoping the responses won't be along the "over-hyped", "console game are crap", GTA IV sucks" lines... Anyway, I assume it'll follow the same widescreen rules as the console versions, but after looking around for a bit I've no clue if the console versions are vert- or hor+ ... Does anyone know this? oh the date has been set for November 18. |

Hopefully someone here can take comparison shots on one of the consoles. |

I haven't seen lots of 4:3 screenshots, but looking at these the 16:9 ones don't seem Vert- to me. Maybe slightly Vert- and nicely Hor+, at worst... :?: Are there a lot of recent console titles that are Vert- anyway ? I'd think they're primarily made for HD formats, which are 16:9, so how could they be Vert- ? (Just asking. I'm not into those keyboardless things at all.) Okay Matrox, now tell me you've been working with Rockstar for flawless surround support :) |

Judging how its optimized for widescreen , id say it'll probably be vert- just because that would make more sense from a dev point of view (imo anyway.) |

just because that would make more sense from a dev point of view (imo anyway.) Not sure what you mean by that. If widescreen already works in the first place, making it hor + instead of vert - is trivial. It can be accomplished with a single line of code. |

I'm not into those keyboardless things at all.) This has been quite a hot topic around here lately. Lots of people are going around calling 4:3 vert+ compared to 16:10. Personally though even if they do create it for 16:9 from ground up theres a right way and a wrong way to do it. Hor+ is the right way. I don't want this to turn into a discussion about vert+/vert- again as theres already a few good ones, Just informin ya. |

Well this is interesting...I just loaded up the game on my 360 and tested it out between 1280x1024 (normal, non-WS) and 1360x768; it appears to be hor+! Even the loading screen in the beginning! I could try taking some better screens of the game later, as the glare is hitting part of my screen atm. |

That's wonderful news, I may invest. |

Well color me surprised. Can you give us captures or pics for an example? I guess i remain skeptical. Though even if it DOES turn out to be vert- I'm willing to bet someone here will be able to slap a hack together. |

Well San Andreas PC was patched for WS, but only 720p and 1080i HDTV resolutions. I would assume since they went all out on this one and hired a 150 man team as well as taking a long time to come out with the port that they are likely putting more effort into everything, including proper WS support. |
