I've been wanting to do this forever - at least 18 months. I wanted to go through the major PC Gaming mags each month and see what we know about the games they feature. Hopefully, this will spark more interest in getting pro-active information. Please add to the thread with any info you know. So, here is the October issue of Computer Gaming World: Radar (Previews): Kane & Lynch - No known info. Some screens in the article were WS, but that doesn't mean anything. Frontlines - No known info. Some screens in the article were WS, but that doesn't mean anything. Rainbow Six: Vegas - Previous "Rainbox Six" titles are mostly native. But, they are almost all Vert -. GRAW is Native and Hor+ Defcon - Native Hor + Phantasy Star Online - A few folks have played the demo, but it doesn't look promising. Bioshock - Nothing known yet. Cover Story: Team Fortress 2, Portal & HL2 Ep. 2 - Nothing confirmed. But, it is Source engine, so we know it will support it. Virtually all Steam games (even non-Valve) have had native Hor + WS. All previous versions were Native Hor +. So, it's about as promising as it can be. Viewpoint (Reviews): Civ IV - Native. Stretch. Dungeon Siege II: Broken World - Camera Hack needed for Hor + widescreen. We host the hack for download. CivCity: Rome - This thread shows Vert - and a stretched HUD. .ini style edit needed. The Ship - Source engine. Probable. Just need confirmation. Viewpoint (Reality Check): Bone: The Great Cow Race - Based on the demo - None. City Life: Native, Vert - Darkstar One - Nothing known. Rome: Total War - Alexander - Base game is Hor+ with an .ini tweak Titan Quest - Native Hor+ WW2 Combat: Iwo Jima - Nothing known. Ads: Sid Meier's Railroads! - This thread says widescreen resoltions are supported, but we don't know the effect on the screen. Demo doesn't seem to be available. While history isn't always a good indicator, the Pirates! remake didn't support widescreen. Caesar IV - Forum search didn't reveal anything. Demo can be found at FileShack Just Cause - Hack will provide Hor+ support. TH2Go works as well. Medieval II: Total War - An .ini tweak gave Rome Hor+. And again, history isn't always a good indicator. Demo can be found at FileShack Timeshift - Ad. Native - stretch. Stronghold Legends - No known info. First two in the series didn't support widescreen. Demo at FileShack Dark Messiah of Might & Magic - Demo had native support. The TH2Go support was native as well, and was Hor+ FEAR: Extractin Point - FEAR v1.08 made widescreen native. Should indicate good support Hero - Nothing on a forum search. Homepage is http://hero.netgame.com NWN2 - Nothing known. Original NWN supported widescreen native. MS Flight Sim X - Ad. .ini support. Looks to be Hor+, but may need some more investigation Archlord - Appears to be a solution here. Beta is free, if someone wants to test it. Age of Empires III: Warchiefs - Base game is Native Hor+. Expansion should be as well. Dawn of War: Dark Crusade - Relic broke widescreen in Warhammer 40k, so I wouldn't hold my breath. Mage Knight: Apocalypse - .ini support. Full res + FOV is claimed, but no proof. Company of Heroes - Native, Hor + Maelstrom - Forum search reveals nothing. Demo is available at FileShack. Gothic 3 - TonyM16 claims full Hor+ support to 2560x1600, natively. But, no screens as of yet.[/b] |

The Ship has widescreen support, as usual. I might write a detailed report for it this weekend, and Dark Messiah if that one's not already done. |
