The differences of PC vs Xbox One/PS4

[Ronin Gamer]

So I remember reading there was something off about the PC version compared to the Xbox One and PS4 copies. Something to do with the graphics or how the characters looked. Is this something that they are planning on upgrading later on or did they do a lazy port?

I'm just curious since I've been debating back and forth getting this, (already played the original when it first came out.) but that news and the silly amounts of dlc they try to push are turning me off a bit.

The PC has a higher resolution than the console versions, what it doesn't have is the soft engine. The main focus of that is that breasts don't just move up and down but also left to right. The PC version also does not have the following two stages:

• Crimson
  
• Danger Zone

The PC version, however, does come with more costumes in the base game than its console counterparts. Also, like the PS4 and Xbone (and unlike the PS3 and 360) the PC comes with additional haircuts for some characters. While the characters are HD, the stages on the PC version are of the same quality as the PS3 and 360.

The game runs smoothly even on machines far below the minimum requirements, although it is has issues:

• So far only first party 360 controllers are properly supported. Third party 360 controllers and others have binding confusions.
  
• When playing on keyboard, the keys are not rebindable
  
• Setting the resolution to 768p and full screen will result in the game being surrounded by a box.
  
• The game has the option of accessing the photo gallery, like the consoles. Clicking on that option will, however, not bring you to the photo gallery, but instead tell you to use your Steam overlay to look at the pictures you took.

Other than that the game is identical to the console version.

Personally, the game is fine. It's fun to play and offers a lot of features. It has a good fighting mechanic and a fun story and characters. I like being able to play it.

The PC version also has anti-aliasing options while the console versions don't have any anti-aliasing.

Soft Engine isn't just breasts, it includes a brand new skin shader with advanced SSS (subsurface scattering) making the characters look organic. Screenshot comparisons are no good for some people, you need to compare the skin shaders from live demonstrations running on the consoles in order to know what you're missing.

Some don't care, some do (I'm one of those that do) but I still bought the game anyway beacuse a skin shader isn't enough to deter me from having the game, (besides if we pull togeather, maybe we can convince the ENB author to create better SSS for us)

Here is a small video I did of the Xbox 1 and PC version. The xbox 1 Rec's videos at 720P so I rec the PC version also at 720P.

I think it's just the AA but X1 looks like ass compared to PC

only a live comparison can illustrate the soft engine. Any video will fail to show it like it renders on the tv. The PC version would look way better then it does even now if it were added back in.

I have to agree with that, with the xbox one rec at 720P it losees a lot of the look but both games look great. To me I feel that the PC version plays better and like playing it more the the xbox version. I guess it all depends on what you the Player like to game on.

Another neat feature in PC version is ability to use game 4k internal resolution with NVIDIA Dynamic Super Resolution(DSR) feature on FullHD screen. Smoothness on my 50" TV screen feels superior to standard 1080p 4xAA conf. It runs rock solid 60FPS on my modest i5-2500k/2GB GTX 760 rig. Also I have generic Speedlink XINPUT compatible pad and I have no problem with button mapping.

Thank you for the detailed post. Very much appreciate it. I want to play it on PC, but I've played the game once already, so I think I'll wait to see if they ever update the engine and put online in like it should have been from the start. Have a good day everyone.
