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.
Anyone playing it on a system near the minimum system requirements who would care to comment on performance? Please give system specs if you are...
Athlon XP 3000+, 1 Gig RAM, X1600 Pro 512Mb
So my system pretty much sucks, and here's what I get on Fraps (only tried the demo, though):
Avg: 15.258 @ 1024x768 all maxed
Avg: 22.096 @ 1024x768 mid settings
I'd say that this is nearly unplayable, but I didn't expect anything else. It looks gorgeous though, finally a game it was worth getting a SM3.0 card for. Too bad I'll still have to upgrade my entire system in order to play the game. But still, I preordered the CE to have the Big Daddy figurine remind me getting off my lazy ass and earn the money required for a beefed up system
