Widescreen Gaming Forum

I kind of thought 16:10 was now not really needed, the three stages of 4:3, 16:9 and wider being adequate.

16:10 monitors are still the most common aspect ratio for widescreen PC monitors. Coverage of 16:10 is probably more important than coverage of 16:9.

Well, I was meaning as far as showing how the game changes across wider aspect ratios. Now that we include ultra-wide resolutions it seems redundant to me to show the minor change between 16:9 and 16:10. I wasn't implying 16:10 was no longer used (though I will say 16:10 monitors are almost impossible to find at brick and mortar retail now).

I think 16:10 users would still want to see what the game looks like on their monitor. Plus, there are games which are fine at 4:3 and 16:9 but have blemishes at 16:10.

Lets keep this about Borderlands itself.

These conversations are best off being separate.

Updated the report with 16:10 gameplay and HUD shots (with new FOV information for those shots). Also added cinema section which shows anamorphic behavior on one monitor with pillarboxing on ultra-wide.

Also added a main menu comparison which shows Vert- behavior which can cause issues in ultra-wide with selecting the right menu option. Added the main menu flaw into the flaws section.

Calling it complete unless anyone else requests more.

Looks like the HUD squashes in 16:10 resolutions.

Grade: C

FOV hack and sprint FOV problems are consequential flaws.

CCE: 99.5%

I think that's just the way I cropped the HUD pics, but I guess it could be squashed. Anyone else want to weigh in?

OP updated with grade.

I took some shots of the Xbox 360 version.

The FOV and game are designed around 16:9. 4:3 is Vert+. The HUD scales correctly and there's no visible stretching that I can see. The weapon stays at the same position in both 16:9 and 4:3. The FOV in 4:3 feels too zoomed out, especially when zoomed in with a weapon.

God that depth of field effect is just revolting to me.

Anyway, the game is certainly Vert+ and not Hor-, but that is how the grading system works now for better or worse. It has to be said with the inclusion of ultra-wide resolutions and the Vert- making them unplayable the grading system does make sense in that regard.

Vert+ or not though the FOV is terrible for PC gaming. I am not normally an FOV person and ignore most FOV hacks on this site but Borderlands needed an FOV hack for sure.

Yes it is squashed.
