Wrong. Black Borders=PAL
Just select a 16:9 resolution and there won't be any borders.
f.e. 1280x720. Looks good on widescreen monitors, stretched on 4:3 monitors. |
There's no such thing as PAL/NTSC region differences on a PC monitor, sir. Sure on the TV we (PAL) would have marginal black borders, due to the resolution differences (which has always bugged me anyway, seeing as how PAL has a greater resolution than NTSC, just a lower refresh rate) but there's just no excuse for borders of this size on the PC port.
It smacks of lazy coding - and if it's not lazy coding, it's egotism to expect EVERY PC gamer to have a widescreen monitor. There are those of us that refuse to switch simply because we don't like sacrificing view size.

I allready explained this about 50 million pages back. It is not a PAL encoding issue. Video games no longer use analog signalling my friend.

Those black areas on the screen are way bigger than the ones I see (16:10 - 1680x1050), guess it's quite a problem for non widescreen resolutions
(4:3 which is up to 1600x1200 and 5:4 which is 1280x1024 mainly.)
Hopefully they are gone in the final version as various people say but who knows.
(Still they don't really add anything to the game so it's not like Ubisoft needs to keep them in by forcing a 16:9 perspective.)

The black bars are absurd because there aren't 16:9 monitors so nobody can have a full screen view.

Who quarez if there are or are not 16:9 monitors? When you watch a 2.35:1 movies, do you bitch because there are no 235:100 monitors? The game was designed as 16:9, that's how you'll play it. Jeez...
With yellow for BS

That's not a good thing. Games should be avaible in 4:3, 5:4 and 16:10 like nearly every game existing.

Jesus Christ, I can't believe how many people bitch about the black bars. I, for one, played through the whole game on a 17 inch CRT and didn't even notice the bars until people began moaning about it online. And even then I didn't care about the bloody bars.

Because you have a widescreen monitor but for people with a 4:3 and 5:4 screen the black bars are huge.
That's how it should work:

The lateral part of the screen should be cut like it's for every game.

What's wrong is you didn't notice it before, but when you saw the stupid moaning here, it suddenly started bothering you.

I, for one, wish all games were like that. If I get 3 wishes that will be #1

black bars never bothered me. We all got used to them since we started to watch movies in television ...
or anyone ever stopped watching a movie because it had black bars ? Didn't think so ...

'wastening' an interesting approach to the english language.

Just wanted to state out, that on consoles PAL Games had these Borders. Ubisoft just wants us to play this game in widescreen, even if you have a 4:3 monitor.
