Graphics are way better than on the former exclusive platform
-Textures are so brilliantly better!: Achieved with an higher screen resolution and better base textures plus thanks for anisotropic filtering @ 16x who keeps all the distant textures sharp and appealing (which was hugely lacking on the non-PC version)
-Shadows are sharper and prettier than ever (Indubitably one of the most impressive usage of lightnings and shadows in the videogame history. Including extensive use of HDR&Defered rendering, which leads to impressive dynamic textures illumination)
-Many graphic options to choose from, including FoV slider (+ instant application of the settings changes, with no 'program hangs' or reboot needed)
-Implementation of 2 different approaches but simultaneous and customizable in-game Anti-Aliasing: --> MSAA plus FXAA is genius!! (Thanks! Polygons and transparent textures, such foliage, grass, tree leaves and fence grills are very effectively anti-aliased)
-The water quality (waves and ripples) and reflections are immensely improved
-The sound is also clearer (better X-fi sound card maybe)
-even the cut-scenes are better rendered
-Instant loading between levels and checkpoint reload (about 1 second)
-Alt-F4 and Alt-Tab are working
-Good performance (for me), 60 fps with EVERYTHING on maximum available-> 1920x1080
-Crossfire does WORK (2 x Radeon 6970)
-We can play with the keyboard&mouse + controller all together at the SAME TIME!
-The rendering engine and the game itself is very stable and free of major bugs (no one should/has to wait for something to be sorted out before grabbing it for himself)
Conclusion: Definitely no "console port" here!
PC version it is !
(2xRadeon 6970 and PhenomII @ 3750 Mhz)
