Scandal: No real widescreen in Bioshock?

Hey guys-

Sorry about all the conflict. IG development people (specifically Chris and Rowan who are both on vacation) were trying to take a day off today (we've been working about six months 6-7 days a week). I'm trying to see what everybody's concerns are and consult with the staff.

I know people are frustrated, but we are dealing with internet time here. It wasn't until 7 pm EST that I was able to even talk to anybody in our Australian studio, which is open today (9 AM their time).

I hear you that not everybody was thrilled with the PC launch. And I'm trying to collect information and see what the facts are. PC game development does not function in a matter of seconds or hours, especially when most of the team is on vacation. But I hear you, and we're looking into the issue. I'll only ask you have a bit of understanding as to the time scale that software development issues must occur in.

Best regards,

Ken Levine

Just to clarify:

When the game runs in 4:3, you get the whole picture.

Now, when you switch to 16:9, you should get the same vertical height, but more horizontal. But instead, they cropped the top off so that 16:9 is now the exact same width as the 4:3 version, but with less height.

Does this affect the PC & 360 versions?

I've come to the conclusion that 99% of digg users are retarded.

In the comments for this article, people are like "Why should widescreen users get benefits", "Widescreen users have an advantage", and "Widescreen sucks".
