Ok, enough with all the hate on the other thread...

We are here to celebrate 2K for recognizing the growing trend towards tallscreen gaming.

I'm going to start a website (http://www.tallscreengamingforum.com) to steal all of the thunder from this site. It's gonna be bigger than the Big Mac.

Here's to Bioshock for making this possible without the use of difficult "hacks". As you will see from these screenshots, Tallscreengaming really emulates the human verticular vision. It really does a great job of capturing what we see with our top and bottom eyes.


Example 1:


Huh? what did I tell you? Floors and ceilings as far as the eyes can see! No rodents can sneak up and bite my feet. I will see them from a mile away. Same goes for falling ceiling fans. Those always catch me by surprise.


Example 2:


Now we can really see that wonderful sweater we're wearing.


Just to re-iterate, this is NATIVE VERT+ support right out of the box.

I think you are all, except Gabbo who "gets it" acting like asses. You just don't get 2K. They knew this tallscreen gaming is going to win the hearts of all gamers. Well, not of some 4:3 gamers who still think that by allowing the tallscreen monitors' owners have taller screen and shorter width will automaticaly mean they (4:3) are losing...something, somewhere.
Well, an extended finger for all the people against tallscreen gaming. I am going to play the bioshock demo on 1200x1920 and you can all just die from jealousy. My monitor is better than yours!
TALLSCREEN GAMING FTW!!!
