Oh yeah, Devil May Cry 4 looked pretty sweet in 2.35 as well:

I played it that way on a 16:9 televisions and the black bars didn't bother me. It was just a fun option to play the game that way.

Looks fine to me, might actually work well in a 3rd person game like Order 1886.

Do people who complain about letterboxing hate their TV bezels, too? Are they mad the game doesn't project on to the surrounding walls? What about blinking, how dare a game waste the space on the inside of your eyelids!?!

I think I've posted in this thread ragging a few times already, but I HATE black bars, in a game it would do my nut. Please be 1080p instead.

Always reaching for new lows.

Always though this is a much better solution than upscaling.
Movies use the same aspect ratio and it doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Yeah, One of the reason I have not played Dragon's Dogma. Holding out for PC version.

You bumped this thread for this?

Dragon Dogma had it and it was shit. There isn't anything filmic/cinematic about shitty blackbars.

now add HUD of game to that and you have a lot less than your film resolution.

Surprised they beat Metal Gear to this.

It does suck, but like DD it only bothered me for a short time.

Console war is serious business.

The "filmic" part of is it not because of the black bars... it's because of the aspect ratio that gives a more expansive horizontal view. It makes for interesting shots in cinematography.

I'm going to say I didn't mind it too much in Dragon's Dogma, but that game really did it due to hardware limitations--none of their cutscenes were particularly well "shot" in terms of cinematography, I think. And, I'm not sure if it'll even work well in gaming where the player (usually) has control of the camera in gameplay. That'll just throw the whole point out the window. Cutscenes make sense, but they're not actually for "playing" the game.

Why is this such an issue when everyone here knows the game will look fantastic? If the devs are looking for a more cinematic experience, then I say go for it. It's something different for the gaming media and a welcome change.

 

[R10Neymarfan]

If I had a 2:35.1 or 2:40.1 screen I would love playing this game

Hope it's anamorphic

 

[bryanee]

Eh I don't want black borders in any game I buy.
