Default BioShock widescreen issue

2K addresses BioShock widescreen issue - Joystiq





As you see with widescreen monitors you would have have the top and the bottom side cut off. So, with widescreen you would see less than on 4:3 screen

I hope that they fix this issue with a new patch update

some games enable you to have a wider span of visions.. while some games... like bioshock.... they don't properly use widescreen and cut off portions of the screen that it shouldnt be...

and this can be the difference in life or death situations in a game that have 1 shot kills!
