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 actually both issues (Lack of Widescreen and Shader 2.0) have really cost them some negative press which is the last thing they need and alienating long time fans.Aaah, c'mon! I can see how the WS issue annoys people, but games not supporting < SM3.0 anymore was just a matter of time. As I said, my system is shitty as hell... but even I was able to afford a SM3.0 card for $100, and that was almost a year ago!
And on the WS issue, I really don't think it'll take them long to patch it in. I have an old PC hooked up to my 16:9 TV in the living room for quite a while now and so far I have been able to force every game to run in widescreen simply by hacking into .cfg and .ini files, even some which haven't been listed on widescreengamer.com yet (Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project, for example). And if I can do it, they can do it! Fear not!
