Native output is 720p on the Xbox 360.

I want to hook up my computer to my 32 inch lcd, and it only support 1360 x 768 for widescreen, I hope you guys will include all kind of 16:9 resolution and 16:10 resolution.

I know this has been said many times before, but it bears restating:

You guys are awesome. Not only in the game you are developing, but in the responses and feedback you give the community.

I must say, i was excited when i read this post, but then i found out it really ISN'T true widescreen support.

You're cropping the top and bottom off of the 4:3 image to make it 16:9 or 16:10

Boo! fix this now...i made this account simply to make this complaint...i'm not buying your game until i hear you have fixed this problem.

What happened Chris? Removed for some reason (so NOT an oversight, just as I thought - it was intended).

it would be nice to get a response from one of the team...

this post shows they intended to have true widescreen support...i wanna hear from them why they don't...

hopefully it's a demo problem and not the full game...though i highly doubt it.

I'm also interested in knowing why everything you've said in here, Chris, doesn't apply to the finished product now that it's done. What went wrong here?

I have a 19" LCD Widescreen monitor at home 16:10 aspect ratio. I'm hoping that all of this will truly be fixed as I have been looking forward to playing widescreen (not 4:3). I'm still going to buy the game though as I have been waiting for this game way too long and cannot wait another day to play, if and when they do decide to fix it, then I guess I'll just have to play through the game again...oh darn...:P
