Sep 24th 2007 11:48AM (Joystiq)If so that should make a big difference. I know it was a false rumor that H3 was 1080p, but even 720p at 60fps is going to look, and more importantly play amazing.

Aug 22nd 2007 8:47PM (Joystiq)This is a pathetic and tired argument from people who, again, obviously don't actually understand the problem.
A coupe of facts: widescreen monitors are (duh) WIDER than fullscreen monitors.
If, as you say, the fullscreen version was identical to the widescreen version, but with the sides "lopped off", that would actually be CORRECT.
Why? Think about it: that would give the full screen users a more narrow horizontal field-of-view.
Instead, Irrational decided to "lop off" the top and bottom of the screen for widescreen monitors, and leave the horizontal field-of-view the same (read: not any WIDER), which would technically provide a "wide screen" display, albeit with competely screwed up ratios, meaning widescreen gamers experience a "zoomed-in" effect.
I could go on about the details forever, but it seems people just want to complain and blindly defend this game even though they've *clearly* made some mistakes, which, although not game-altering, should at least be addressed.
