Remeber the BioShock widescreen drama from late August? Picky gamers were up in arms about some cropping and other technical babble that I didn't care about as I was too busy avoiding Big Daddies to mind. Now it seems that this "non-problem" (CosbyTron's C-blog entry does great job of explaining) will have a fix.
The always awesome Ars Technicia has spotted a post from a 2K Games representative that points to an upcoming fix.
The widescreen patch will be coming in the next title update, which is out soon, and i will update you guys as soon as it goes up!
I don't know about you all, but I'm good. The issue wasn't much of a problem in the first place, and I've already moved on to the next game. I guess this will be handy (or worth checking out) the next time I decide to revisit Rapture, but for now it's too late to matter that much.

one time through was more than enough....
four times through was more than enough....
It's nice and all, but I don't think they should have bothered.
I played, installed 3rd party widescreen fix, beat game, watched alternate ending on youtube and forgot about it like two decades ago. And I even remember in the widescreen thread about an official fix coming soon? lol
Also, it was hardly a "non-issue", it was downright obnoxious. I could hardly see my guns before I did the third party fix.
sorry if this sounds dumb, but the site treated it as a new development and am confused about it. any clarification would be appreciated.
