You must still be running Windows XP and talking out of your ass. My PC is hooked into my big HDTV through HDMI and into my Logitech Z5500’s — that’s a surround sound system that’s probably better than yours. Oh, and guess what, noob? You can use a 360 controller on the PC.

In reply to Old game guy. The "blury"ness on the PC is a cinematic graphical feature called Depth of Field. It means that objects can be rendered at different levels of focus based their distance in the foreground and background. I think it's a cool effect, but they seem to have minimized or removed it from the Xbox version. It can be turned off on the PC if you'd prefer to play without it.

I think the 360 looks slightly better, the pc looks blury (even in the indoor 4th picture). I normally prefer console even if the graphics are a little worse. I would rather play on my couch with my big screen and surround sound. I get PC versions when the game play is better, such as with RTS games, it has more content, or the mods are too good to pass up.

In reply to lol. Well, the PC has better depth of field and in some instances better lighting as well as extra geometry here and there. I'm starting to consider the PC as a platform of choice, but it still costs almost twice as much as consoles to keep the hardware fresh enough. That said, PC games often cost as much as 10 dollars less to purchase new, so, that can cover the costs of upgrading the PC in a given 6 year time frame... What are your thoughts on this??

Isnt PC with blur off?, personally i remove blur and DoF on every games… i guess they should look kinda similar, except with PC higher resolution, filters and texture res, things you wont see in those very small pictures.

if you look at picture 3 of 4, you can see the xbox background rendering is much clearer than the pc version. i think because the game is older, and it is being ported. (atari is the pc, warner bros is the xbox) they worked on different aspects) all in all the pc can push any game much harder, but for what its worth, they are doing a fantastic job on the port. lets just hope the controls work the same

Honestly the pictures are just too small to tell.. they would both have to be the same resolution that I would play the game at to tell, and the PC DOF settings are making distant textures blurry so you can’t tell how good the rendering distance is vs 360.

In reply to Sunderland. Are YOU aware of the fact that the game's Red Engine has already been released for the PC, so even with them porting the game to X360 the graphics engine is not alpha?

In reply to lol. I don't see much difference in quality but I think that the 360 version looks a little bit stronger because the lighting effect on the PC version are grand but they make it seem dimmer. With that said I expect this to be on 50 zillion discs :l
