April 26, 201015 yr Ok, this is just my personal curiosity I'm talking about both PC and Xbox 360 versions. Will this game run on 4:3 aspect ratio without the black bars up and down the screen? I think on PC it surely will, but what about the 360?
April 26, 201015 yr I wouldn't hold my breath for it.. I haven't seen a game that runs in 4:3 for consoles in ages, but hey, I mostly play on PC.
April 26, 201015 yr Author I wouldn't hold my breath for it.. I haven't seen a game that runs in 4:3 for consoles in ages, but hey, I mostly play on PC. Actually, lots of games still run on 4:3 (even if the number is decreasing with time). The first ones I see here are Halo 3, GTA IV, Far Cry 2, and more recently Dirt 2, Blur (Bizarre's racing game), hopefully Red Dead Redemption and almost all sports games (not that I like sports games). I would buy the game anyway, of course. Sadly I'm used to play RPGs with black bars up and down the screen. It's just, really, a curiosity
April 26, 201015 yr What's 4:3? "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
April 26, 201015 yr What's 4:3? Not widescreen. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.

April 26, 201015 yr How old are you, 3? Have you never seen a CRT TV? Or a CRT computer monitor? OR every single TV show until a few years back? Or movies before TVs showed up?

April 26, 201015 yr There's such a thing as not widescreen? Without something other than widescreen, what would widescreen be wider than? [/socrates]
April 27, 201015 yr If a widescreen is as wide as a screen can be wide, how wide could a widescreen be?

April 27, 201015 yr ITT: Jokes that were completely missed.... and taken as seriousness... On Topic: I dunno... I wish more companies would let the games run in 4:3 but who knows...
April 27, 201015 yr Author There's such a thing as not widescreen? How old are you, 3? Have you never seen a CRT TV? Or a CRT computer monitor? OR every single TV show until a few years back? Or movies before TVs showed up? Long long ago, in a land far far away.... Anyway I don't understand why software houses are starting to ignore 4:3 aspect ratio... i still can see 4:3 TVs and monitors being sold here, and to optimize a game to run without black bars shouldn't be so difficult. I mean, just zoom in and move the HUD a little! 10 minutes of work, maybe. Now that i think about it, Dragon Age Origins runs in 4:3 without black bars on both PC and Xbox 360, and it came out just 4 or 5 months ago. Edited April 27, 201015 yr by ginji
April 27, 201015 yr Terrible jokes aside, I thought all games worked in 4:3? Hell, I remember some games not working on widescreen correctly but working fine in 4:3? Is this a console thing?
