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.

Lol, that would be so funny. There would be so much view that you can actually see your own ass.

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!!!

I knew this day would come! Tallscreen is finally here.
Everyone knows our eyes are one on top of the other! We need Vertical FOV!

I have put together a complex chart outlining why I think Tallscreen gaming is inherently superior to the old "widescreen" gaming.
Please take the time and study this chart carefully.
I can't stress enough how important their expressions are. It really says it all. You can see the disappointment and fear in the face of the "Perhiphy" (as I like to call those with "left" and "right" eyes).
Look closely at the face of the verticular person. Smiling. Content in knowing that he will soon have his day. You can see the excitement in both his top and bottom eyes.
I hope this clears up the benefits of tallscreen gaming and I hope more people start using that Portrait view.
Thank you,
Gabbo

Superb idea!
TallScreen gaming is the way forward.
Lets all turn our widescreens into portrait mode so developers can incorporate hats+ into their games ASAP!
