Widescreen is shit.

4:3 or IMAX ratio is superior, because that's almost how humans see. The action is in focus, you see more of your environment to know exactly where you are and enough of the background to know where you're going.

Widescreen is a gimmick. It was created to make an audience feel immersed , so you can move your head and still see new shit, taking your focus away from the actual shit that's going on screen. So the sides are always full of superflous detail, that's rarely ever important.
In movies, it's generally used when nothing is going on on screen. Music, dialogue, etc mood scenes.
Widescreen shit is for visual novels and non-action games in general.

Wide screen is for non-gamers.

Why did they do it?
