Widescreen

[DeV]

Why can't the devs be bothered to at least make it widescreen for a freaking rerelease? Is this too much to ask? The answer is NO.

[Allard]

There is a fan fix for 16:9 resolutions.

[DeV]

That doesn't nullify the question though.

[Wartinald]

What? I can set 1920x1080 in game without any patch.

Alright, lets nullify it: the game was released 10 years ago, the source code is probably lost, the people who worked on it don't work in Crystal Dynamics anymore and the game works outta the box and has any res you want (stretch-o-vision, yeah, but nevertheless), so they don't bother. If I were, I'd be angry at EA, freaking EA, releasing Plants vs Zombies, a 2009 game, without widescreen.

First, if the source code is lost, they're the dumbest companies on the planet. Second, as was said, there're fans' workarounds, so it can be easily done without the source code.

Seriously didn't know that. Will go rage on that forum then...

Fan workaround only works for 16:9 resolutions. With it, the game looks squished on 4:3 and 16:10.

Fan fix or not, if they want me to buy a 13 year old port, they can put some effort into the release. Otherwise I'll just break out my console version that's already paid for.

[Darkersoul]

Because the original devs don't even exist anymore.

[DeV]

You don't need the original devs to do these simple task.

The team that made BO2 has since been completely disolved, I'm pretty sure the current guys at CD would have no idea how to work around BO2's engine.

When other games like Duke Nukem 3D get re-released it's a lot easier since DN3D's engine has been open source for the last 10 years. Other games like Age of Empires 2's re-release get extreme framedrops due to just how old the engine is.

Either apply the fanfix or wait for them to completely recreate the game. Until CD does an HD-rerelease there won't be an official fix.

Nobody's forcing you to buy it

[DeV]

And nobody will buy it.

[Erebus]

It isn't even an updated release, just like the early Tomb Raider games this is a case where the game has existed in this form for ages and just was never released on Steam.

Edit: Find one old game where devs/owners have bothered putting forth a lot of effort for Steam, when the games been available from other places for awhile.

The only reason they probably even put this on Steam was because they're currently working on that Nosgoth multiplayer game which takes place in the same universe.

It's basically Vampires vs Vampire Hunters

Also at present appears to be PC exclusive.
