This game is going to have a different resolution, right?

The top and bottom of the screen will be black for "cinematic" effect I think.... I really wonder if that will hurt its mainstream appeal

It is at a slightly different resolution for cinematic effect. I don't think this is a bad thing tho, and also doubt the general public will care. If you were to sift through Neogaf you would have thought it was the worst possible thing ever. The game is also utilizing a special kind of filter to give it a distinct old film look.

Bad design choices.

 

Those should be OPTIONS for the gamer.... not mandatory, and no game should be designed around those things. 

 

We spend so much money on high tech TVs and Consoles, only to get the top and bottom half of the screen cut off, and an old filmic special effect that makes the resolution blurrier. 

 

Not cool. I want the highest Image Quality possible on next gen games. 

So what do you say when a game uses Cell Shading ala NiNoKuni? Or a faded storybook effect like Valkyria Chronicles? I don't see how this is any different. They are trying to invoke a certain feel/look with these approaches. Its not like they don't have reasoning.
