Is it an option so it can be switched off ? It looked perfect as it was on my HD TV.

I just love it when site admins disable the back button, it makes me never visit their site again.

There is no way to disable a browsers back button. Sometimes on certain sites pressing it just refreshes the page you are on though. You can dip into the 'back history' (usually a drop down list off of the back button) to get back to a previous page in that case.

Good news this is finally out. Unfortunately just as annoying to me was the fact that the text auto skipped in the demo. Can anyone verify if this has been changed for the full (patched) game?

I could name at least one creative director who said, when a junior designer raised the issue of unreadable text 'we don't care about standard definition gamers'. They then patched the game with SD text a few months after release when they realised how dumb this was.

He's right - you cant disable it. Its more likely that a link opened a new tab/window - so there is no back

And yeah - should think so too - impossible to read on my 32" TV...

@kon, yes, it appears that you now have to press A to advance each bit of text.

Well done, Rare. :)

I've kind of got used to the small text now but having looked at the screenshots comparing the two, the larger text suits the game far more so I'll be enabling it when I return to the game over the Christmas period.

Which site are you referring to? I have never seen this happen.
