How is this a confirmation of the patch?

They have a quote from Chris Kline from 3 months ago - before anyone even knew about the widescreen issue.

Shenanigans anyone?

1.1 - I agree.

It looks like shenanigans. Besides, the latest official statement is that there will be no patch.

Can't say for sure, but some - myself included - think that it's possible that the additional rendering required for true widescreen would cause framerate issues.

5 - This ain't news

It's an old post which the lovers of widescreen use to thrash that guy with when he said (In May) that it would have full widescreen support. Jeez, does anyone check the news that gets approved these days?

This ain't news. There ain't no patch coming for Xbox 360.... possible for the PC users.

6 - I can't tell the difference

Im running it @ 1920 x 1200 with all the graphics settings maxed out.

that's a 16:10 widescreen aspect ratio, if a patch lets me see more panorama then great but otherwise I don't see a problem.

btw there's nothing like running into one of the crazy psycho nurses who then turns to charge you with a wrench in her hand only to eat a magnum slug right between the eyes. I guess I was wrong about this game.
