yup...unless the resolution of 1024x576 is not widescreen

that IS widescreen, right??

That certainly would be cool. They aren't cheating and using 360 promotional screens are they? :wink:

My guess is that these are just X360 screens that are PS'ed to look PCish.
I really doubt they gonna make it widescreen.

Widescreen is "cheating" right. :evil:

I just had a look over on IGN ...
The PC shots are the same as the 360 shots ... so maybe as you say or as stretch suggested ... they are cheating and just using 360 promotional screens ... :roll: :(

The Most Wanted screens we were getting for PC version prior to release were also wide-screen.

Exactly, they are just fooling everybody. :evil:

That screenshot's resolution is 1024*576, which is a 16:9 aspect ratio which is most common in widescreen TVs. Widescreen monitors tend to be 16:10, so I bet that the screenshot's from the Xbox 360.

Knowing the incompetence of EA and their developers, I bet the PC version won't support widescreen resolutions. :?

Widescreen?

EA?

Are you kidding me?

Not a chance.

More's the pity.

This game looks a lot more like the Underground series than MW. Still though, im glad theyve included REAL sportscars instead of tuner cars.

So long as theres a Lotus in there ill be happy :).

Lotus... eww. :p

Well, I'd take one for free, but I wouldn't buy one, hehe.

Post by **ctrlsteef** » 26 Jul 2006, 13:26

I wouldn't buy one either but that is simply because i wouldn't fit in it.
My head would be outside the car all the time. :lol:

Post by **Paradigm Shifter** » 26 Jul 2006, 17:53

Same for me.

Still, if it was open topped... ;) (although not with British weather... :lol:)

Post by **ctrlsteef** » 26 Jul 2006, 18:20

Well, i believe they are open topped.
But still, i wouldn't like all the bugs in my mouth and eyes. :lol:

guys, dont get all hyped up about it. I work as a news editor for a gaming website and when EA or any other company releases screens as Multi instead of PC only or Xbox 360 only, we usually upload them into PC and Xbox 360 categories, regardless of the actual format.

I thought the general view of the posters in this thread was something along the lines of 'we'll believe it when we see it'. Which would be supported by your comment. ;)
