The Order 1886's Aspect Ratio (Black Bars) Is a Complete Sham.

The whole bashing of choices developers make has to stop, it's their games, they make them, if you don't like the game then don't buy it.
The fact that Uncharted 4 has a full screen image, better image quality, a less linear environment, even better AA and it's targeting 60FPS shows that PS4 is capable of more than the Order is doing, so it having borders is a choice because the developers want it to look more like a movie and that it does.

I think he is more bashing their claiming that this was a design choice intended to improve the cinematic experience, rather than just a way to save power to increase the degree of detail on those pixels they do use.
