2016 graphics vs. PS3 graphics
I was wondering if any of you had played the PS3 version and would care to give a comparative opinion on the 2016 PC port. Graphically, is it better than the PS3 version, or about the same?

Somewhere around the same. It uses a lot of the same updated models and textures from the HD PS3 version, but not all of them as far as I know.

The PS3 is in 720p tho.

The lighting is definitely different and BETTER on the PS3 HD version.

I just hope they actually port over everything. Not having exact comparisons is tiresome and irritating, have to keep checking back on the boards every few months to know if finally the game is on par with the PS3 version. As of now it seems that it is reasonably so but visibly not the same.
This version. [None of these make the game any less fun]
-This is a port of the mobile version
- No Spectactular Highlights or Bump map detail on the character models
- No evironental lighting that effects the models.
- Main Menus are Still FMV's
- No revised Controlls for Gamespeak [gamepad]
- No button to sneak, instead using mobile based set up
- Higher Resolutions and Frame rate vs. PS3/Vita versions

Ps3 and Vita versions
- Improved visual detail and special character and evironemntal lighting
- The Menus are native 16:9 and are real time, not FMV menus [that menas abe and munch on the menu are actual 3D models]
- They have a system for gamespeak that makes it much more like the PS1 titles with icons that pop up telling what button says what.
-L1 or L on vita is a sneak button which is much easier to just press
-720p Resolution on Ps3 [lower on Vita but still with the same quality visuals]
-Overall revised control scheme making the game even more enjoyable and less frustrating.

I was hoping that they'd just port the HD PS3/Vita versions much like they did with strangers wrather HD, since with those games they went back deep into the game and retouched it, this version is just the xbox title ported to mobile and then ported to PC with new assests without the visual additions that give the PS3 port it's glory.

Since I have every version I think I've been able to tell you everything I can.

It's cool tho, anything is better than when this first laucned on steam, what a mess that was, most people including myself couln't get the game to run.

Thanks a lot for this detailed comparison, been looking for this since the game relaunched! 😊

I bought this game, thinking that they made improvements over the PS3 version. But i guess i was wrong.

Sadly not yo, It's still worth a play, but the best versions are on PS3 and Vita as it stands

That was the original plan before they made New N' Tasty. We were supposed to get a port of the ps3/vita version, but never did, so we get a port of the mobile version. Still an improvement over the game when it first launched on steam, but even so, that port was initially promised years ago, and we never did actually get it.

Yeah, but just imagine being one of the people who had to wait 4 YEARS for the update we've gotten from the time the HD version was confirmed to be heading to pc.
Fortunartly the PS3 version can now be emulated at full speed on PC
