wow that was so sudden and way under the radar of MS, amazing marketing skills at work right there!.

Now I wait for the benches and reviewers to give it the works.

What?!!!

They have spend the last 6 months saying nothing about the port and now go and launch it without saying anything? WTF is wrong with MSoft? Or is that the port is so bad that they want to somehow hide the game?

Oh, and those requirements are not only ridiculous, but also suspiciously similar to the other Win10/Windows Store games.



Please excuse my bad English.

It's why I'm greatly looking forward to watching the benches of the game along with watching how much has been changed for the console port, because I'm under the firm belief that there isn't a huge night and day difference between the X1 and PC versions, the 4K talk is what the usual pubs are sporting these days to wow over the PC crowd (despite not all PC players even sporting the res and most are still with 1080p and 1440p) and I seriously doubt MS went to super great lengths to recreate all the textures specifically for 4k use, that would take plenty of time effort and money.

Early impressions - Well, it's my first DirectX 12 Game! :P

A little stuttery, at times, but a crisp, clean image and, at least from what I can tell, I'm able to run it @ 120fps most of the time.

Thanks for that.

Have you tried the XboxOne version (only to compare, nothing else)? Is the stutter bad or barely noticeable?

So far, it's very, very sporadic and hardly a deal breaker. I own the X1 version, too, and there is a noticeable increase in clarity, here. My only gripe - lack of cross play! Co-op with my Xbox friends would have been nice!

Thanks again.

No cross play is hardly surprising given that MSoft still hasn't developed the tools for that (or so I've read).

Sounds like what I knew would happen, happened.

Waiting on it to downloading right now, can't wait to try it out. Haven't played it since launch year. Also glad that it launched at only $30.
