Widescreen Gaming Forum

[quote]Christ.

Would someone just give the devs and these people a TH2G set-up and let them see how V- (or however the devs want to spin it) is just absolutely wrong...

I can't see how playing this game on a TH2G with its V- leaves the game playable at all...

They actually developed for tall formats, either not realizing it or simply dissembling about it to take some heat off of the forums.

Their Vert- approach makes sense if we are to have thinner and taller monitors because it shows more of the top and bottom as the display gets taller. So the taller your monitor, the better your view. We do not however (nor is our actual physical vision set this way... we have our eyes side by side), we have shorter and wider monitors, in which case Horz+ makes sense because it shows more side to side as the display widens, so the wider your monitor, the better your view.

This is why Horz+ should be the default. We have plenty of people with monster widescreen setups (triplehead2go), but about zilch with massive tallscreen setups. If us widescreeners rotated our displays 90 degrees, we'd have a "huge" advantage over 4:3 gamers again! Bring that up on the forums to stifle the 4:3 people saying that widescreeners lose the advantage with vert-. We don't... it's still there, just rotated :)

All in all I'd say 2k Elizabet handled this pretty well - still not acceptable to begin with of course - but at least they seem to know what's going on out here.

Why don't you guys wait first for them to fix it before you congratulate them? They said they would release a good ws support too, where did that go?

As for this Elizabet, sounds like a liar to me. I wouldn't trust her to cross the road first.

I'm happy to give her and 2K the benefit of doubt ...
These things take time and big companies can often be slow ...

I say lets see ... most games have problems when they are first released.

Paddy, well done mate for that original screenshot combo of yours on page 1 of that 2k thread that highlighted this whole debacle... You.Are.The.Man

Thank you ... 8)

Excellent result guys, and well done to Racer_S!

Yeah well done Paddy on the highlighting of the issue.

I personally spent 3 days of god knows how many hours 'fighting' this issue over @ 2k forums (probably to the annoyance of 'most anyone reading), but it was a principles thing for me, which was fueled even further from the intial first "official" response which was flawed and innacurate.

I wouldn't say I wanted 2k to 'eat their words' as such but the combination of that statement and the massive amount of fanboys who wouldn't STFU telling us we were 'wrong' just made me more determined. :)

I Hope Racer_S enjoys his 8800, i've got one (a GTX) and it's sweet.

Thanks for that ... I read most of your posts ... :D
Racer has just heard from E at 2K ... :D

Glad this is pretty much sorted now, I just find it funny people are still arguing back and forth on the 2K thread.

I am like a moth to the flame, I can’t look away.
