Dead Rising PAL 50/60hz?

[moonwhistle]

I just started the PAL version of Dead Rising and it looks to be running in 50hz with a noticeably bordered screen? My console is set to PAL 60 and the other games I've tried seem to run fine.

Is this normal; is it a crappy conversion?

Any help much appreciated.

I presume you have a 4:3 TV?

If so it's a widescreen only game, sadly.

Ahh, that would explain it, thanks mate.

Alot of the in game text is ludicrously small also, illegible on a 32" square TV.

Yeah thats a common problem with 360 games, even on a widescreen tv the text looks small in SD, yet then when you play them in HD the text seems HUGE.

Dead Rising is probabaly the worse for this becuase of all the in game messages you get that you have to read. Luckily they all basicaly say the same thing "so and so is hiding in a shop" or "some nutter is running riot in a shop" so i wouldnt worry about it too much.
