http://forums.2kgames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=659&highlight=widescreen From a lead programmer: "The game will render in full 16:9 aspect ratio, with no letterboxing unless your resolution is not true 16:9." "You will see more in widescreen. We use a different projection matrix; there is no squashing or stretching of the image involved." I assumed the game would do WS properly.... but this was reassuring to read. PS - i assuemd this has been covered here but a "bioshock" search turned up nothing useful. |

Sounds like it will run with black bars on a 16:10 monitor like Condemned... oh well. |

It's not horrible or anything, but I would rather it fill the screen. |

BioShock is carrying the Games for Windows brand so strictly speaking it is supposed to have full support for both 16:9 and 16:10 aspect ratios. You should not have to suffer black bars from using a 16:9 aspect ratio on a 16:10 monitor. At least that's what the Games for Windows technical requirements state. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb173456.aspx |

If the game is designed in such a way that 16:9 is the only way you can play it.. well then thats what they will have to do. But I'm sure in the end it will have 16:10 ratio support. |
