That's fairly impressive. Guess I'll go pick it up today, even if I can't play it until next week, earliest.

 

I was actually hoping they'd port back the new, more natural lighting conditions to the PC version, but early reports indicate that they didn't do so. Oh well, if there's a demand they probably will later, and it's not like the game on PC looks bad.

Just noticed, that the dragon scene in the beginning was not shortened. It's just that the second part can't be chosen anymore at the beginning of the dialog. But other than that the combat got really easy (never got seriously damaged in chapter 0 even though I got hit a few times and I still remember how I had to redo the dragon + wood house + fire scene like 20 times until I got past it. This time I was just running through and done.). Also there are some new cutscenes in the game, where Dandelion is telling the story. I like that.

 

/Edit: Looking at that link above, it seems to me the PC version has way too much bloom...

Is the lighting dynamic in the 360 version?

That's what the DF analysis says, but, as a layman, it seems to me that the differences are more in how they set up the lightsources, bloom settings and HDR rather than PC having prebaked lighting or whatever.

And that isn't available in the PC version? Weird. I'm guessing a lighting patch is on the way.

I thought the EG review says just that it will be rolled into the pc version? Obviously, I'm not in a position to compare.

 

... Or even boot the game before next week. >_<

You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Heh, cute touch. My poor bandwidth quota's going to get murdered with this. Bah

I didn't even know you could import old games. Maybe in some distant grimdark future I might reinstall the game.

Just out of question.... was dismemberment in the base game? I don't remember that happening in the first run I did a year ago, but saw a guy's hand get slashed off in one of the tutorials.

I don't really care that much about inter-game C&C - it's a ridiculously difficult thing to do and really, how much does it add, compared to good intra-game C&C? You can do intra-game C&C so much better, and in the end there is not that much lost.

 

It's only a bad thing when you make your series dependent on inter-game C&C. Apparently ME did that, I wouldn't know - but I don't think TW really did.
