G.Rev Bringing Under Defeat to PS3 and Xbox 360

I'm reading that its forced 16:9, and will be letterboxed on a 3:4 crt.

Can someone try it out for me?

all modes of the game? how the hell does that work? did they crop the screen of the original to make it wider?

I'm. not sure, someone also mentioned that you can't scroll horizontally like you could in the dc poet and arcade game, so you can't hide enemies off the screen to prevent fire.

Seems whack.

That's fucked up... did G.rev handle the port themselves or what?

[dunpeal2064]

I believe they did.

Thanks for the input guys. I almost pulled the trigger on the LE last night.

[dunpeal2064]

Damn, for some reason I hella want to play pso now

[dsheinem]

well then it does indeed sound like the fears of this being a potentially botched port were realized

*hugs DC copy*

*already has burn of DC copy from years ago*

Still sucks, though. Not sure what I will do when my copy arrives. I play my PS3 on the HDTV in the living room maybe 1% of the time. I usually play on my 4:3 1997 SD Trinitron.

I could understand a forced letterbox if this were a sprite based 2D game, but it's not. All elements are in 3D. Scaling to fit 4:3 would be easy. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Unreal Tournament 3 and Insect Armageddon do it. Hell, most games allow you to "zoom" in to force fit on an SD 4:3, even if it means cropping off status bars and other information.

Why the fuck this wasn't a given in a SHMUP from a company who's main audience is nostalgia hounds is absolutely baffling.

New Order mode will definitely be letter boxed. but if the original arcade mode is letterboxed that is crazy. I don't think they're THAT stupid... Well, it is G Rev so maybe they are..
