It's most certainly intentional, that's movie aspect ratio, and they said they are going for "filmic" experience. Though, it does help with pushing more eye candy too...;)

But doing that means almost 1/4th of the TV screen will be black bars. If they do that, they will get critized for it, a lot.

I mean, c'mon, not even Heavy Rain uses that and it's one of the most cinematic games out there. It's completely unnecessary.

I can't recall it, but wasn't one of Silent Hills at that aspect ratio too?

Anyway, I can understand why they would opt for that ratio, it does looks a lot better than 16:9...yes, you have black bars, but I guess that's a matter of preference - I personally would love to see switch to 21:9 TVs, so having extra bars doesn't bother me in case it means better FOV.

Maybe that'll be the next craze, super-wide-screen TVs. Only problem is the world just finished replacing all its TVs. XD
