I too would love to see widescreen support in SH4, though I'm not holding my breath. I'm hopeful they won't lock the resolution at an utterly archaic 1024x768 like they did with SH3--though I fear 4:3 aspect ratio will be all that's officially supported. If this is the case, the frustrating thing is, no matter how well your 16:9 widescreen scales--you're going to get a distorted result.
From the admittedly limited videos and pics I've seen of the dev's studio and presentation setups; SH4 appears to always be running on a 4:3 display, and when on a 16:9 widescreen--it was running in a windowed mode in what appeared to be a 4:3 res.
Standard disclaimer: I have absolutely no official knowledge of what resolution/apect ratio SH4 will ultimately support. I am simply stating what I believe from what I've seen. I sincerely hope I'm wrong about no official widescreen support, because this game would look wonderful in widescreen. Add to this that in this day and age, I'd be surprised no to see official 16:9 support, though I was equally astonished when SH3 shipped locked at an old XGA resolution.
