Give me a break...

This game was designed to be widescreen from the outset, and its FOV is set accordingly. In actuality, the 4:3 setting just displays a bit more on the top and bottom, but outisde of that its the "exact" same as 16:9.

Just to make sure none of you miss this, I'll repeat it; The game was designed for widescreen, and its the 4:3 mode thats "half-assed"

But hey, if you wan't to miss the best game released in ages over a silly widescreen non-issue, go ahead.

I think people haven't totally written off this game just yet. They are taking the wait and see approach. It's not like this problem can't be fixed a few weeks. Would you rather play the zoomed in version or the patched version if you had a widescreen TV if it meant just waiting a little bit.

Did you read what he said and looked at the screens? It's the 4:3 version that has the screwed up camera lens, not the 16:9/16:10 versions. You can tell by the screenie that the camera is slightly wide-angled at the top and bottom in 4:3.
