There's a "Screen Size" adjuster!! More games need to have this simple feature. If you're playing through HDMI on your 16:10 LCD, you can now shrink the image so you can see the full screen without losing the sides! whoooo!
 
Also, this game is straight up tits mcgee.

i don't understand how this isn't a standard feature in every game. +1 to GoW3

I noticed that, it's a cool feature. I'm playing on a 1080p LCD and it self-adjusted perfectly, no tweaking necessary.

good to know, even the ps2 games were ahead of their time supporting widescreen and progressive scan.

Does it actually shrink it or does it add black bars?

So it's running in 16:9 (like all current games do), not 16:10. Not really news worthy. "

It is, because this way you can put it through a(ny) 16:10 screen without it stretching the image to fit the screen (which looks terrible). "

oh, i'm sorry, I didn't know a bigger PC monitor was hype. I guess I'll take it back for the smaller one... "

 Congrats. 16:9 has 1280x786 pixels and 16:10 has 1280x800 pixels. "

PS3 should really have at least a 1680x1050 resolution setting. It's great that GoWIII does this, but it should be standard. I hate missing the edges of the screen. I guess I'm one of those people who would get angry if someone would zoom in if they were watching a widescreen DVD on a 4:3 TV, though.

My monitor already does this automatically (just scan mode I believe).

" @ajamafalous: 
I think TV manufacturers signed an agreement to compensate the 4:3 generation TVs to make 16:9 and not 16:10.
 
Hey, if we're moving to 16:10 generation, more power to being proactive, but I have a feeling we're going to find a new aspect ratio before we find a standard one. God how I wish corporations would  agree to 1 and be done with it.

This doesn't fix stretching, you can resize the image but it doesn't change the aspect ratio. So if you're playing on a 16:10 monitor that doesn't have 1:1 pixel mapping, and your 16:9 games usually stretch vertically, this doesn't fix that, you just end up with a smaller rectangle on your screen, with black bars at the top, bottom, and sides.

I have a Dell monitor that does it for me... I play the game in 720 with a HDMI->DVI Plug and I set my monitor to the 1:1 setting. It adds two small black bars at the top and bottom.

Most monitor let you add black bars so why do we need this.

Nvidia and ATI? This thread is about GoW3 running HDMI on a 16:10 monitor.  Most monitors let you add black bars sure, but this is really nice for overscan people like me that lose the sides running PS3 HDMI. "
