Wait... So the whole game will have those black bars including the gameplay sections? Am I reading this right?


Yeah and it looks great.

I would rather not have the black bars but still have it look great

I mean yes and no.  However this game uses full MSAA x4 just like Enthusiast PC's do.  That is the trade-off.  This looks far better, and is a higher resolution than 900p.



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.

Wait? What's the complaint here again? They game has black bars so that they can have a great looking, full 1080p experience with a stable framerate, and full MSAAx4...THE HORROR!!!

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

I understand that having black bars allows the developers to render more things in the game as well has have better AA and etc but the thing is, I don't like having black bars at the top or the bottom of my monitor when I am playing a game or even watching a movie... I did not buy a Monitor/TV so that a quater of the screen will be taken up by black bars when I play a game or watch a movie. This is specially true for games and I find it very annoying cause it feels like that instead of playing the game at fullscreen, it looks like the game is in "windowed" mode if you get what I mean.

And I really hope more games don't do this cause imo, its nonsense. I play games to have a gaming experience, not a movie experience and that includes not having black bars. Heck, if you have a monitor/tv that is cinemawide, then ur even more fucked cause the blackbars will stay no matter what in games where as in movies, the black bars are supposed to go away on cinemawide monitors/tvs

I don't think you understand how this works.

yes, its a higher resolution than 900p

1920 x 800 (The Order) = 1, 536,000 pixels

1600 × 900 = 1, 440,000 pixels. 



I'm the only one who doesn't see what's so fucking awful about this? This is coming from someone who doesn't really give a damn about The Order 1886.

I totally understand where you are coming from, but being a movie buff I am kinda used to it.  In fact I think 21:9 monitors are going to start gaining a decent amount of traction with the enthusiast crowd as well...

More importantley, the pixel density in the actual image is the same as 1080p. Which of course means clarity will be the same as 1080p.

the fact that you didnt even notice this when you say the many gameplay vids of the game says a lot. 

Idk, maybe I just never paid much from it. Thought it was some special feature to hightlight the more cinematic nature of the game. Again, this is the first real time I even thought about black bars in games. I never knew the Evil Within had them either. Plus I rarely go out of my way to look at gameplay vids online for any game as I like to be more surprised. 

So excuse my ignorance on the matter. I'm sure I'm not the only person who didn't know about the black bars until now.
