Grim Fandango 16:9 screenshots

[White Rabbit]

How come these screenshots are in the 16:9 format if the game only supports a 4:3 aspect ratio?

Or are they in fact vert-?

it's not real 16:9, the game gives you the option to use it but its just stretching and zooming the image (It sucks)

Wow, Manny got fat! :P

You can change the aspect ratio in the options but as you can see from those screenshots it streches the game and makes it look crap.

Nothing originally made in 4:3 should ever be stretched to 16:9. Matt Groening goes on a great rant about this in one of the Simpsons commentaries.

The option is there, but ignore it.

Too bad they didn't remaster the art / locations for 16:9.

That would take an immense amount of work, I think most of the art, landscapes, cityscapes, etc in the game was drawn by hand. I'm seeing a border around all these Steam screenshots so it looks like it sticks to 4:3.

You know what other games had all of the art drawn by hand? Monkey Island 1&2.

Granted, the gameplay area was closer to 16:9 in those, with the Verbs taking up the bottom of the screen, so it wasn't as much a change to make the Special Editions into 16:9, but they still had to redraw everything.

Yeah, I was interested in getting an updated remastered game, but if it's still just 4:3 I'll stick to my original boxed copy.

Just play it in 4:3 with borders. Whats the problem? Major entitlement issues with graphics ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

If I want a 4:3 game I can play the original. Don't need a new version for t hat.

[bluepotatosack]

The main draw for me was controls that weren't a complete pain in the ass. The rest is just gravy.

[Zurv]

yes.. controllers are better.. but where is the rest of the gravy?
it is mostly just low rez version of the original with better control.

[Samsquamch]

The scenes in the game is framed for 4:3, it wouldn't make much sense to change it. Besides, it looks fine anyway.

How... How can it be a low res version of the original? I am quite sure the res is higher this time around...

Many people don't have that luxury, as their PC isn't from 10 years ago. ;)

Zurv, what do you mean "low rez"? The resolution is clearly higher.
