What's wrong with those Bioshock screenshots!
Look all squashed up

I don't have Bioshock so I can't be sure but some games render widescreen by squashing the picture, allowing the TV/monitor to stretch it (less rendering time, similar result I believe).

I fail to understand why people post screenshots of scoreboards with awful scores like 202/99 on cs:s, its barely a 2:1 ratio, all it shows is you've been on the map for like an hour. I mean, you wouldn't post a score of 10/5 would you?

It cuts the bottom/top off of the screen to enable a fake widescreen effect, it doesn't squash it like the pics above

It's the stupid size limit to the ss, from 1680*1050 to 800*600 :/

That's well, a bit crap, why would they do that?

Haha you don't have to make it fit in both dimensons, you could have done 800x500?

Resize to 800x500 mate, so long as the image is not over 800x600 your fine. That way you won't lose the aspect ratio.

Edit : SiD the Turtle, Beaten to it!

Quake Wars.

The game is terrible, if you're getting 50+ FPS it still feels like frame rate lag.

It may look better than BF2 but it doesn't play better.

lokiguesty · 14 Sep 2007 at 12:03

any idea what settings they have QW running at to get those graphics?

i have it on High with full AA etc is there a setting or console command i have missed?

as an aside im gettin bout 45-60 fps havent really noticed it feeling laggy

thanks

Nice screenies, bit low res though.
