Why did they make it 16:9 only anyway? Seems like pure laziness to me, adding in 4:3 and 16:10 certainly isn't difficult for an experienced programmer.

They'd have to shrink that shitty HUD down to 4:3 and I imagine it wouldn't be pretty, plus maybe some cutscenes and out-the-corner-of-your-eyes scares would've been obscured.

Probably because people whine whenever their aspect ratio isn't the best way to play the game.

Why waste time shrinking/scaling a shitty HUD when it could be redesigned? That approach seems like win-win if they plan to implement 4:3 in the future; design a HUD that doesn't suck and make one version for each aspect ratio setting (to avoid scaling, that generally looks ugly).
As for the scares, I can't see out-the-corner-of-your-eyes stuff anyway, so I personally wouldn't care if it became "truly" obscure. :p

FEAR 1 had shadow issues, too.

Okay, I just picked up Fear 2 at Fry's. I will post an update soon. I am going to try and install it on Vista this time. I usually play my games on XP so I will see how Fear 2 installs and plays on this OS.

Please give impressions asap because I'm incapable of deciding if I want to buy it without reading what everyone else thinks of it.
