in the place to be

 

[ronito]

Alright! Wide screen crap!!!

 

[Borys]

It has begun.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Alright! Wide screen of crap graphics!!!

fixed

 

[Mashing]

Good news for those waiting for the PS2 port, but it makes their decision to leave it out of the GC version baffling.

 

[Naked Snake]

Great news, although I already own and beat the GC version.

 

[Elios83]

True widescreen but still letterbox right?

 

[Cathcart]

I guess this is cool if you're into retro gaming. November is Fire Emblem time

And no quoting me and chaning Fire Emblem to some crap other game you clowns. Unless it's DW8. I'm OK with that.

 

[Diffense]

Widescreen jaggies...Yayy!!

 

[Ristamar]

Good news for those waiting for the PS2 port, but it makes their decision to leave it out of the GC version baffling.

That would really depend on how well the visuals hold up. IIRC, the letterboxing was a performance issue as well an aesthetic one.

 

[ronito]

True dat. My bad.

 

[olimario]

I can't wait to see Widescreen caps with horrible jaggies and no lighting.

 

[teepo]

re4 was horrible to play on my hdtv.

If the letterboxing was a performance issue and they're going full widescreen with the PS2 version...then Capcom must be really confident in their PS2 coding skills.

 

[AB 101]

This is why I can't wait for the next generation.

 

[PlayStation Tree]

This is why I can't wait for the next generation.

Wario64, you are a true gaming gentleman of both taste and discretion.

Exactly, and my widescreen has a nice little "zoom" feature, anyone saying the ps2 version is usperior because fo this is a goddamn idiot.

 

[C- Warrior]

Meh, I have a Sony VVega 4:3 (obviously) tv, widescreen on PS2 and what I had for GC won't be much of a difference to me.

That is to say of course you can letterbox the image to get the "widescreen" on a 4:3 TV.

 

[Speevy]

Who the heck owns a Cube but hasn't played this yet?

 

[Elios83]

Exactly, and my widescreen has a nice little "zoom" feature, anyone saying the ps2 version is usperior because fo this is a goddamn idiot.

And of course you have never noticed that zooming an image on a TV produces a consistent degradation of the image quality.

By the way,I still wonder if true widescreen means that the game will have a real panoramic view in the letterbox format or if letterbox will be gone.

 

[wobedraggled]

Who the heck owns a Cube but hasn't played this yet?

You would be surprised, people are idiots, and wanted to wait.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

if you people don't buy the PS2 version by the truck loads - AM a LAFF - LAFF I SAY

 

[Attack You]

I'm still waiting to hear some decent gameplay additions. More Mercenaries would rock. None of that CVX bullshit.

 

[john tv]

 

[Baconäger]

Not enough to warrant another purchase.

 

[Deg]

Yeah i might pur a preorder on. RE4 was that damn good.

 

[cvxfreak]

If true, then this is great news as I now have a widescreen monitor.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Yeah, it supports increased jaggies as well.

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

 

[Azelover]

And of course you have never noticed that zooming an image on a TV produces a consistent degradation of the image quality.

That might still look better than the PS2 version :lol

[EGM92]

Sweet WIDESCREEN! Justifies me not getting the GC version even more!

 

[Yusaku]

Hahaha, excellent. I got busy and just ended up selling RE4 for GC before I got into it. Now I can actually play it properly on my HDTV.

 

[GaimeGuy]

There is no justification for willingly waiting out on playing one of the greatest games of all time when you have the access to it.

 

[ge-man]

It's not surprising considering the PS2's fillrate. On the other hand, I'm not sure if widescreen is a good trade for the (as of now) lackluster lighting and seemingly lower poly count.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Who the heck owns a Cube but hasn't played this yet?

About 17.5 million people.

At this point you'd probably have a similar reply if Leon started the game wearing hotpants.

 

[Jagernaut]

RE4 wasn't even one of the best games of the year, it was a disappointment to me. I would advise PS2 only gamers to rent, not buy.
