The Evil Within has been in the hands of gamers for over a week now, and while the reception to the game has been rather divisive, the quality of the PC port has been under much scrutiny. Limited to 30fps and including no in-game option to disable the cinemascope aspect ratio, The Evil Within‘s PC port leaves much to be desired from PC gamers that are more accustomed to options and performance difference over console games. But it looks like a fix may be coming soon as Bethesda has taken to their forum to announce that they’re investigating more options.
The forum post by Bethesda’s Global Community Lead is as follows:
We always try to be responsive to our fans and we are looking at your suggestions. We are open to modifications of the PC experience but we’re investigating and testing what’s possible that won’t negatively affect other players. We are evaluating optimizations for players with high-end PCs to improve the gameplay experience at 60 FPS. We’re also looking into ways to allow you to remove the letterbox format of the game for those of you who prefer not to have it. Over the next few days we’ll be working on potential changes and testing them. If all goes according to plan, you’ll be able to go hands-on with these changes soon. When we have more information on PC-specific changes, we will let everyone know.
We believe The Evil Within is an extraordinary game, and obviously we’re happy that all of you are excited about it. But we want all our fans, including those of you on PC w/ high end rigs, to be able to experience the game the way they want. So we are seeing what we can do to provide you with optional changes you have said you would like.
Thanks for your wonderful support and valuable feedback.
Native options for proper widescreen support and 60fps optimization would be very much appreciated. Despite my love for the game and tolerance of the PC port’s limitations, there’s no question that more options and support would be a good thing. Assuming Bethesda optimizes the game for higher framerates adequately, I’ll definitely be replaying the game that way. I’ve got to tackle Nightmare difficulty!
