Very interesting. If the information contained in the interview is correct, then its simply a matter of DICE not wanting to implement widescreen support because they believe it will give widescreen users an unfair advantage. So perhaps it has nothing to do with EA specifically. This was the general vibe I got when I spoke to all the EA reps on the floor this year, nobody seemed anti-widescreen at all. In fact, much to the contrary, they really liked having widescreen monitors out on the demo floor. Ever since the ruckus about BF 2 not supporting widescreen began, I've always suspected that the issue had more to do with the people who made the game (i.e. DICE, the guys that control the source code) rather than the publisher (EA in this instance) who merely distributes the game. Shack: But you'll at least have native support for the aspect ratio? I'm confused on this point. Does this mean that you will be able to select resolutions in-game that are widescreen (i.e. 1680x1050, 1920x1200 etc,) but that they FOV won't expand to accomodate them, resulting in a stretched image? |

Ah! I think I see now. :idea: Thx Emanuel and Paddy for clearing that up (and for the very helpful pics). So what they were saying in the interview was that they will have support for widescreen resolutions and their aspect ratio, thus keeping the image itself from looking stretched, but without any change to FOV it will result in a -vert solution. There will be no wider view, essentially negating one of the big differences b/w widescreen monitors and their 4:3 counterparts. .....I think?....hehe :wink: |
