Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

quick and easy Q: Metroid Prime 1/2 FOV on GC vs Wii

Since they are widescreen on the Wii (MP Trilogy)

was just curious how they achieved this.

more horizontal FOV?
less vertical?
combination of the above?

    It's stretched horizontally.

    that only refers to the HUD...? which is typical behaviour for 4:3 native games going widescreen

    More horizontal FoV isn't really that difficult to add, it's just sending a different value to the renderer. Many FPSes let you change it with a console command, so I'd be surprised if that isn't what they did.

    lol ease of implementation sure hasn't stopped countless games from cocking it up and implementing Vert- behaviour for their widescreen, even on the PC where customization and configuration options are plentiful.

    God of War 1 is Vert-
    so are all the previous gen Grand Theft Auto engine based games
