Awwwww pants guys ...

Yep ... the FOV is the same width whatever your screen ... so widescreen users are missing the top and bottom of the view (the red bit).

There are no FOV settings in the user.ini ... if you add them they are ignored ...

Noooooo! I'm going to be missing even more since my display is 16:9! How can you mess up widescreen on a game that launches on the xbox360? Don't they have to properly support widescreen to get released? :(

Bleh and bleh.

"Games for Windows" requires widescreen ... but they think widescreen means widescreen resolutions ... :roll:

If this is confirmed on the release version of the game, if I get the game I will go for the 360 version. Looks like 2K Boston should be renamed to Noobs Boston.

%$&^#@!!!! :evil:

That is just a pathetic attempt to support widescreen. Very dissapointing.

Lads, is there a way we can "amend" the game to get the proper FOV?

I feel even sorrier for TH2G users.

EDIT: I feel like going over to the Bioshock forums and giving them an earfull, but I doubt this would be affective. Is there a "Policy Procedure" for WSGF to lodge thier concern with a game designer/dev? Do we have someone that can represent the people around here? Kinda like a standard opertaing procedure for expressing our views as a campaigning body, not just a bunch of individuals having thier whinge?

So it that the demo or full version?

If it's the demo I'll hold out a little hope that it'll be fixed in the full version.

Demo ... but please tell 2K (link above) that you would like TRUE widescreen ... the more that tell em the more chance we have of it being fixed in a Patch.

Hmmm... I registered at 2k but it still says I have insufficient rights to post in any threads.

Oh well...

That's pretty weak, but it looks like the 360 has the same FOV as the PC's widescreen. (correct me if I'm wrong).

I'm off to find a fast download for the demo.

I just registered and could post a reply in the Paddy thread.

EDIT: I think it is important to set ourselves aside from the usual "Game whingers" by telling them that it is a good game, cause you gotta admit it is, so why not let them know? We should establish that we only have a problem with the widescreen matter and not let them assume that we think the game is good, apart from that one bit. If we don't what makes us differenct from all the other people who want to whinge about every little detail about the game? At least was can come across as a reasonable bunch. Might help. What do you think?

They should have kept their original name -- Irrational Games. After all, they ARE irrational in their thinking. ;P
