The amount of people posting this is “ok” blows me mind. Just play your media on the aspect ratio it was designed for. Maybe your kids will take all of your photos of you in 20 years and stretch them wide and hang them around the house and just tell everyone “bEcAuSe I tHinK It lOoKs ok ThAT wAY…”
No worries. I've been on that site since I owned my S.i in 1999. It would have been a crazy coincidence for sure. Haha . Take care and have a happy Thanksgiving 👊👊🤘🤘
how old is the video then? I can excuse it if it's old and shit, I played on like 640x480 back in the day too (not stretched, but I figured out how to change that later xd)
Then you probably played with a wrong aspect ratio on the configurations, because back in the day MOST CRTs were 4:3, widescreen monitors were VERY expensive, which means you probably didn't have one, since you claim your PC sucked.
My PC was very weak as well, a Dell Dimension 5150, I could only run NFSU on low graphics, but the aspect ratio was correct, since my monitor was 4:3 as expected for the era.

"I paid for this screen so I'm going to use all of it!!" type of people come out in droves to defend stretching. It looks so bad
That's a nice Peugeot 206 though...
I took the screenshot when he was switching cars on the buying car screen, I think the hud elements appear first. hahaha
Yeah the cars slide in... Still looks funny 🤣 besides the wonky ass aspect ratio.
Ok, I thought i was going crazy . Clearly is an EM1 S.i. in EBP like I used to own. Also, you wouldn't happen to be Eyescream on Club S.i. as well??
Nah I don't think that's the same eyescream. I make music as EYESCREAM and I own a Celica T-Sport (Which is also in this game) 😜

Polyphony Digital with Gran turismo 4 did it so freaking well with 1080p and 16:9
this makes me think of when i see videos of gran turismo 1 and 2 in 4k and it looks so shit
4:3 stretched just the way Counter-Strike players like it!
Whatever you do with the aspect ratio, that's nothing like a Peugeot 206!
It's the Peugeot 206 Long Wheelbase. Duh.

The video was posted 6 months ago. 🙃
lmao
Eww
It's just stretched to fit the screen. Old game had no wide-screen support
It did on GameCube and I believe Xbox as well.
Wide-screen on GameCube and xbox didn't actually change the aspect ratio, it just changed the HUD layout and FOV whilst the TV stretched the image.
Nah I could easily see more of the game in ssx tricky and nfs
Gamecube and Wii had anamorphic widescreen. They hust played with FOV and HUD but no true widescreen. Its just squuezed image that you stretch
so the only thing keeping it from true widescreen would be the wide pixels from the rendering, but they were trying to implement it.
On 5th gen it wasn't there but that was being added on 6th gen, you could even see it in the system menu settings for ps2
NFSU 1,2 are kinda stretched horizontally in PS2 even now in emulators. the best way to play them is on PC.
They are stretched because the source material is only for 4:3 display. Just display it 4:3 on anything (consoles, emulation) and they will be correct
I dont see the problem here guy plays as he wants?
That looks normal to me. I faintly remember this being exactly like this back when I played it when it came out on PC
You played it wrong as hell. Tires looking like horizontal eggs. TF man..
This was the time it came out. My pc sucked. I had a sucky ass CRT monitor too if I remember.
Also i was like 7 years old. Not everyone had the luxury to play it the way it should be played back then
"sucky ass" CRT wouldn't be stretched. Unless you had a widescreen CRT for your PC but I doubt it.
Nope it was stretched

Ohhh I see yeah probably. I was young so never knew much about aspect ratios and stuff. So I probably had it configured badly in game
Have you seen cars in real life?
