Black bars

[Leg]

In 2024. Woah, so cinematic.

Whole game. I played the beginning and hoped that the game will 'open' to full screen after first scene with climbing the hill and onscreen cast, but it didn't

I also suspect they this so the Xbox can handle the game. The first hour I thought maybe it's just the intro but nope. I distracts me too.

Same here lol. I thoroughly checked every setting just to see....

I have a G9 and still black bars. So that does not help. I also don't see how other widescreen would help. The resolution is not 32:9 or x:9 at all in the first place. EVERY monitor will have black bars.

You want games to be takens serious as a form of art?

Not like this, no!
Added artificial motion blur, film grain over 4k imagery, good old lens flares, resolutions that 99,99% of the consumers can't even use (artistic decision out the windows right there, you can't even experience the resolution!).
Makes no sense and there is not a single objective argument for it.

Btw art can also be simply straight up bad and stupid. I don't have to tolerate or accept art just because it wants itself be called that.

Want help. The game is in anamorphic 2.39:1, not "Ultra Wide"

Of course it is more or less a film. it depends on the vision of the developers and what kind of feeling they want to convey and this game is intended to feel like a movie. omfg lmao

yeah except thats not why the bars are there without an option to remove them, its to cover up poor optimization.

I was looking forward to the game, but this really hurts that such great developers are unable and unwilling to allow other players to play in 16:9.
Unfortunately refund games. I just don't have the nerve for this... This is crap.

Pc gamer gave it a 58. Your not missing much, apparently the black bars review better 😁 this is just a nasty time for aaa gaming. Back to back to back failures. Its like they dont care anymore. Then again after Starfield i wait for reviews

Note that "artistic vision" is virtually always used as a form of an excuse not to implement something, this is a trope throughout the industry at large.

It's the equivalent of your JIRA bug report getting "this is not possible", "but it works in the editor" or "works as designed".

You'll learn this pretty quickly when you work with devs directly

There is no excuse for forcing ultra wide resolution in a game. Feels more like they only added it to try and get the game to run on Xbox. Hoping that a mod will come out to remove the black bars.

Totally.

[Bendy52]

Its understandable for consoles to be able to hold 30 fps maybe, but for PC, at least give option to turn off/on...... we decide. bruhhhhh

[StuartAce]

To be honest i have got used to the black bars, but yeah atleast give us the option to go fullscreen for those that want it.
