Latest Updates at the WSGF

Lobbying Central

A created a new area in the Surround Forums called Lobbying Central. Previously the WSGF has been successful in lobbying developers to add Surround support, both before and after a release. The purpose of this new forum is to collect all of these threads, so that we call coordinate our efforts and keep tabs on Surround support.

Ghostbusters Detailed Report and Ramblings.

I posted a Detailed Report for Ghostbusters. The game offers superb widescreen support. TH and WTH have Hor+ gameplay, but other issues mar the experience. Hopefully a patch will straighten it out. Cynagen posted a Ramblings of a Moron as well.

Detailed Report for Sims 3

scavvenjahh posted a Detailed Report for The Sims 3. The game is Vert-, but according to scavvenjahh doesn't "feel like Vert-" in Widescreen. Racer_S has a hack to allow for Hor+ gameplay in Surround and Wide Surround.

Twelve Sky 2 Hor+

New forum member Dr. Perillux posted a Detailed Report for Twelve Sky 2. The game is Hor+ with proper HUD support, and it supports TH aspects. We need a few more resolutions before we can certify it, but the game has all the major points covered.

eZ' posted some comparison screens for America's Army 3. The game is 16:10 Anamorphic, with a properly scaled HUD. Here's hoping that Racer_S can come through again.

Overlord II (Demo) is Hor+ in WS and TH

scavvenjahh posted some comparison screens for the Overlord II Demo. The game is Hor+ and appears to have a correct HUD in both WS and TH. The original Overlord is Certified, so we expect the same from the sequel.
