There are two issues here:
1 is the "punch in" where the logo punches inwards towards the camera on
first appearance, this effect reveals the edges of village1
significantly and happens for all users even on regular 16:9.
2 is on aspect ratios wider than 16:9, you see even larger areas of
village1 on either side.
The blackout is an artgroup that breaks apart and is set to the shape of
the Jak 1 logo. It has a baked in animation and is a set size, so it
cannot simply be scaled or adjusted to be wider.
Seeing the sides of village1 before seeing the logo is not the immersive
experience this opening was going for, where the game "bursts" into the
screen.
My first thought to fix was to simply call `set-letterbox-frames` until
the right moment. This worked, however, it didn't produce an ideal
result simply because the letterbox also went on top of the light blue
"logo volumes" starburst.
Having experimented with the range of edits possible here, I decided the
best approach is actually to simply delay displaying village1 ever so
slightly. This avoids editing the very particular blackout art group,
with set sizes of chunks that break apart. This also avoids covering the
blue volumes with a side letterbox/covering.
This scales with any aspect, supports both different language logo
blackout shapes, and fixes both wide aspect issues as well as the
regular 16:9 punch in issue. This is an important edit as it's the first
thing people see.
