Assassin's Creed II

I stalk him. He never suspects. My steps quicken, a futile attempt to catch the pace of my pounding heart. Like a fat child chasing its fleeing deadbeat parent. I smell the dirt, the flavors, the stink of humans. It violates my nose and teases my focus. Of no concern. I cradle the bracer with my free hand. Soon. Soon, it will be. He stops, unawares. Ripe.

Solutions & Issues

Baseline (Widescreen) Solution & Issues

Native. The game is a combination of 16:9 anamorphism and Hor + behavior in widescreen resolutions. All aspect ratios narrower than 16:9 use letterboxing to maintain a 16:9 aspect ratio and all aspect ratios wider than 16:9 use a combination of Hor + behavior and pillarboxing.

There are some fixed-camera events in the game that have pillarboxing in aspect ratios wider than 16:9. A video link of the behavior is provided below.
