360 Version - Windowed?

Is it intentional that the 360 version is shown with probably an inch and a half black border surrounding the entire game? This is using HDMI on a 37" 1080p monitor. I only tried the demo, but am pretty unsure about getting the game and this isn't helping.

    One of the settings is the zoom. You can have it remove the blank space around it. Just go check the options and toy with that setting in your demo copy to get what you want.

    Thanks, I tried going into the options and help, and didn't see that another button press to go to settings was necessary, oops.

    I assumed it was meant to imitate a comic panel... Since moving from area to area is considered moving from panel to panel... Correct me if I'm wrong.

    I'm really thankful for it (and the option to zoom/adjust) because my TV has some overscan and being able to take in the entire frame is so very nice.

    I can clarify this one a bit. Typically console games keep all relevant stuff within a "safe zone" on the screen so that the variance in overscan on people's TVs won't cause anyone to not see important stuff.

    Since a bunch of our presentation involves that snazzy white comic border on the edges of the screen, we had a dilemma. So we decided to leave a black border around by default, but allow you to adjust the zoom factor in the game options so you could tune the edges to exactly match your particular TV.

    I hope that helps.
