I regret to say this, but it’s true…
CAPCOM are becoming very boring, well, in this country anyway.
Just look at those huge borders one either side of the TV screen. It’s such a pain. It makes me wish I had a 52” Television – Ha! I WISH!
I mean just look at it! Devil May Cry, Onimusha: Warlords, Resident Evil Code: Veronica Complete, and even CAPCOM vs. SNK 2. That’s almost every CAPCOM game released on the PlayStation 2 so far, except for the Street Fighter game, which all include borders. I wouldn’t even be surprised if Street Fighter consists of borders too.
Anyway, my point here is that CAPCOM should get rid of all those border rubbish. It’s obviously due it the fact that TVs in this country hardly support 60Hz displays. Well, whoever made that up is talking nonsense. All TV screens here are combatable, and all of them have even a higher spec than that of Japan and the US. The only TVs in the UK that can’t push out that type of resolution are TV combis, which are Televisions and Videos, combined. But at least they play NTSC video.
So…if other games such as, Jak & Daxter can be displayed in full screen using 60FPS, than why can’t CAPCOM make their games do the same?
I don’t mean to disgrace CAPCOM. They are my favourite games development company, and have always been, but thanks to their borders, I am losing valuable time on their games.
Funny I said that – VALUABLE time playing GAMES? (Laughs)

it's all to do with the NTSC to PAL thing without getting to techy NTSC uses less lines than PAL it also runs at 60Hz rather than PAL which runs at 60Hz.
i think it's stupid as now most TV's in the uk can do PAL 60Hz (not all tv's can but my old toshiba can as i use the DC on it) and some/most can do NTSC including the cacky 14" set i gave my little sis.
they should release the consoles here in NTSC as it doesn't matter about PAL anymore really.

Thanks. But why not increase the frame rates to a speed substanable with no borders? Surely that shouldn't be too dificult for the masters*!

But I didn't read the whole thing.
I just got the general idea and commented.

Yes, it has been a trademark for Capcom to release games in the UK with very thick black borders that even ruin a killer app.
I think its becuse they are geting a bad influence hanging around Nintendo because like Nintendo they really are lazy to do a good job for the European market and so do Square who are going to take almost a year to translate subtitles and menus of FFX into othe European languages like Spanish and French.

I'm 101 days old today!
yay! for all.
you hardly notice the borders when you get into the game.
here's a rule,

You bet they are bad!
By the way...you say that you hardly noticed the borders in Devil May Cry - that's my major concern for this topic - LOL

Personally I don't mind borders on Fighting games. They don't require years of staring at the screen with 10 hour brakes every 7 hours or so. Its games like FFIX that really start to tick me off. Stunning visuals, extensive gameplay hours of staring at the screen and HUGE top and bottom borders. Thats what I call stupid. If FF8 could do it, then FF9 should be able to (it has bettered FF8 to such a degree that it looks about as good as a crumpled lilt can, an empty one). I ask, "What is the point in borders?" and I still can't get an answer.
