BioShock 2 PC to get proper widescreen support - briefly
(hx) 10:54 PM CET - Feb,10 2010 - Post a comment / read (9)
The PC version of BioShock 2 doesn't properly support widescreen monitors - again!  Instead of giving players more screen real estate in 16:10 or 16:9 widescreen mode, as players expect, BioShock 2 takes the 4:3 aspect ratio and clips off the top and bottom, giving players with widescreen monitors less of a view of the action than those without. Yes, it's exactly the same issue that had PC gamers fuming when the original BioShock was released. Fortunately, Community manager 2K Elizabeth made a post on 2K Games forums stating, "Yes, there's a problem, yes, a fix is on the way, yes the view will expand horizontally for you widescreen gamers."

In addition, there is a petition and a growing thread in forum for adding gamepad support back to the game.

Good to know. I wondered because it didn't look right considering I set my screen to the max 2048x1152 and HQ settings. I find this game way better than the 1st. I didn't buy it for MP and MP looked like a mess whenever I saw sneak peeks, so might give that a go tonight. I'm so anticipating getting home after work and playing it more! lol.

I find their response funny in that I'd think any freeking gamer worth a shit must have a freggn widescreen. FFS I couldn't nor wouldn't say to anyone I'm playnig on a 4:3 screen. Only a complete ass n00b would still have a 4:3 in this time and age. LOL!!!

Koogle(11:45 PM CET - Feb,10 2010 )
but only a complete ass noob would game on some laggy piece of lcd shit.. while getting is ass handed to him by pro with a CRT with zero lag and a high refresh rate :P widescreen resolutions are nothing great, 4:3 is just as good and makes little difference even in FOV, the widescreen advantage is completly nullifed by the fact your seeing shit that is already out of date in +++milliseconds

btw yes I do have widescreen 24", ok for singleplayer though not so much fps singleplayer.. and definitely fucking suck for multiplayer and especially fps games where you want to have the best reflex and accuracy you can, and you just can't have that with laggy lcd technology in its current state, constantly error correcting your aim accuracy because what you see is delayed from what is really happening. I wouldn't even waste my time enduring that crap experience, they also require either knocking down quality settings or wasting money on beefy gfx card/ system just to achieve the high lcd native desktop resolution to play with a high fps though that's still capped at 60hz so fuck doing that shit.

until they have no input/output lag and have refresh rates at 100hz+ they are considered shit for majority of my gaming requirements, they also considered shit when the ones at 120hz only do half ass fucking native resolutions that don't even match offer 1200px height. widescreen is shit without some desktop height, I wouldn't ever go lower than 1920x1200 in desktop resolution, though I would like the the display technology to be able to output at a lower resolution without going blocky in fullscreen much like CRT can handle multiple resolutions without looking like crap. instant display response times and high refresh rates is what I want mostly though. so I'll carry on playing games with my trusty flatscreen CRT 21" its fucking awesome! and beats the fucking shit out of all crap lcd's on the market right now and forever until the fucking noobs wake up and start demanding better improvements and not shit like 3d stereo scrap even at 120hz but still endure the laggy responsiveness and delays in output.

Ya my LCD is sure laggy. :lol: Dude you don't know your ass from your forehead. I don't have a single game that lags in any which way. As a matter of fact everything I play is silky smooth, even that POS BC2. Funny too because my kill ratio has only multiplied a few times since switching to a 23" 2-3ns LCD. I could never fathom ever going back to my 21" Sony Trinitron flatscreen CRT. It's a fricking antique!.

Anyhow, seeing how blind you are and how fast you are to trash most news on this site, maybe you should buy yourself a real PC instead of one that came out of a cereal box. But seeing how you know jack about PC's or gaming, or technology for that matter go see your Daddy and ask him. If he doesn't believe you are so stupid you can't build a PC just get him to come to this site and read your stupider than shit comments. He'll get the picture.

"Ya my LCD is sure laggy. Laughing "

Just because you're too noob notice the difference... its delayed output, and marketed 2-3ms! is not the total time! so yes fucking noob.

anyway carryon talking out your noob ass ya clueless retard. And yes I have a very good pc built myself, but you're too immature to get the fucking point.

Tom(05:50 PM CET - Feb,11 2010 )
I said it once, I said it a million times. You are a moron. You have no clue what you are talking about. There is no delay on my screen. I play LOTS of FPS, racing, RTS and RPG. FPS games I play the most. If it 'had' delay I would notice it. There is none, you are talking about the first generation LCD's that had slow response time. Mine is 2-3ns response time dickslap. There is no blur.

I never get the point that comes from you. I just get the angry child, 'my penis is small but I like to act like it's big' from you. Get a brain. I don't believe you built your own pc, based on the trash you put on this site I doubt you could even hook up a console without fucking it up. Moron.

darknothing(06:11 PM CET - Feb,11 2010 )
koogle, 2ms response is not a big deal. all i play is FPS on my pc.

Tom(08:02 PM CET - Feb,11 2010 )
darknothing that's just marketing :roll:. All the review sites that gave my screen top marks are all in the conspiracy too! Don't bother with the guy, he must be just really slow or something. He talks about delay, but I think the only delay is between his mouth and his brain. It amazes me every day how people like him can be so stupid and then post their stupidity constantly. It's almost like Koogle wants to prove to everyone just how stupid he is. No need to prove fella, you are stupid. We get the picture.

Koogle(08:40 PM CET - Feb,11 2010 )
*yawn*
"There is no blur. "

lol fucking moron.. still don't even get the issue.. I ain't talking about fucking BLUR!

DELAY NOT BLUR!

stupid noob

"koogle, 2ms response is not a big deal. all i play is FPS on my pc."

crt = ~0.02ms

2ms marketed response is ok, but the issue still exists, you only have to compare the difference in responsiveness of a crt side by side with any lcd in todays market..even the CRT running at the same refresh rate as the lcd mostly only 60hz, or sometimes 75hz if you're running in some non native block shit resolution.. the thing is that it gets worse the higher the default native resolution the lcd has. And as all 2ms marketed lcd don't do the anything above or equal to 1920x1200 resolution I refuse to buy them.

24" 1920x1200 @120hz with much lower total response (ie no delay) than the current offerings then I'll be happy.

When will they release the patch for the non-working 'R' key on computer keyboards ?
