Hi, one game i looking forward to is the new "The Godfather" game, however after reading countless times that EA lacks WS in many other thier other games (NFS, BF2 etc.), im wondering if they will include it into this new game.

Maybe no-one has the game now, but soon as they do could u let us know :) To me it makes the difference of buying it, or not. I need 16:9, 1360x768 support.

many thanks

1680x1050 is my native resolution and was selectable from the options menu. However, it's not true widescreen, they cut off the top and bottom. The cut-scenes are letterboxed yet even there they didn't give true widescreen. But hey, at least I didn't have to search and hack some file to get the resolution. I guess you could say this is a step forward for EA, if a tiny one.

Hey zig ...

Thanks very much for the info ... 8)

Is there any chance of a couple of screenshots from the same place in the game ... one at a 4:3 res and one in widescreen so we can compare them and add this to the solutions section ?

Good old EA... :roll:

Well, they atleast have a widescreen resolution selectable from the options menu now.
That's one step in the right direction. :D
Now there is just one small step left, but for EA that's probably a huge leep. :lol:
