BioShock Widescreen Woes [Aug 21, 2007, 9:52 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Widescreen
messed up ... on the 2K Forums has hundreds of posts about problems with
widescreen monitor support in BioShock impacting both PC and Xbox 360 owners. At
issue is how images are expanded and cropped to accommodate widescreen modes,
meaning widescreen users actually get less image than fullscreen users, a
situation bordering on irony. There is no good news from 2K or the studio
formerly known as Irrational on the forum, and our attempt to contact 2K about
this directly has met with no response so far.
Yeah, cos after 6 months of 6-7 days a week it's totally unreasonable to let a couple of staff off to have a holiday...
On launch day? If they've been working 6 months of 7 days a week, really, that one extra day isn't going to kill them. Whenever I roll out a new server, guess what, I can't take a day off when that new server goes into production. Even if it's on Christmas day or something.
Also, from what I read from Ken Levine's post, he's having to contact their Australia studio to try and fix this thing, since HIS entire team is getting pissed in Maui or something.
Look, nobody is saying these guys don't deserve a break, but I never understand why "Woohoo, it's launch day, quick, let's all leave so we can't see the inevitable problems that crop up!"
Why aren't they going on vacation the day after it went gold, so they can be back on launch day? I guess that would make WAY too much sense for the gaming industry.
