Arkane sounds like they've got it together. This, combined with what they've already said about letting us toggle almost everything about the HUD (turn off waypoints, on-screen button prompts, etc.) eases my mind that I'll be able to really sink my teeth into this game.
I really like the idea of optimizing each version of the game for its respective platform. That way everyone gets the best experience they possibly can regardless of how they choose to play it.
Granted it would probably involve a lot of under the hook tweaking to a lot of things and add a ton to dev cost, but it's a great idea in theory.

Make it look nice, make it run well, and most importantly, make it work properly in Eyefinity, and I'll buy it.
as Uzeless said, i hope there's pad support, and also that they left the 360 interface in. it's lazy i know, but as a couch PC gamer i just can't be bothered with KB&M unless it's totally necessary (ie for tribes: vengeance).
if the developer says "well we went to the trouble of making a proper PC game, so why not play it like one" then fine, i understand, but i won't rush to buy it. the fact is modern PC games support both, and that's the expectation of many PC gamers now. if we're going to get 360 ports there may as well be some benefit to it!

fuck it, if dtoid won't give us comment editing, i'm not apologising for double posting any more! :P
It kind of sucks that this is even being mentioned as it shows how crappy PC features have been.
"We have the MOST AMAZING options menu" Almost like that Grand Theft Auto ad for that burger joint advertising that they have the biggest buns in town.
I just hope this game rocks as it was my free game from Futureshop.

Now I just need to hear some specs to make sure I can get it on my PC. It doesn't look like it'll be any problem though. I'm really digging the look of this game.
I know some PC gamers like to do nothing but bitch and whine and be victims. But the truth is, the tide is turning big time toward our platform. Things like this are the evidence of it. You can also look at the increasing number of games being released on PC and other developers like Gearbox going out of their way to assure PC gamers they are doing a good job on the PC version of their game.
And while I'm sure people will complain if the PC version of Dark Souls isn't exactly what THEY want, the fact that they are doing it AT ALL is huge. We're even getting a PC version of Fall of Cybertron now. And I've been enjoying a lot of games like Rayman Origins and Sonic Generations that a few years ago I would never have expected to show up on PC.
Anyway, stop being so f*cking negative people. Especially when, you know, WE'RE WINNING.

Thats good if devs can release multiplats like Res Evil4 ,Okami and Child of eden that have features for each consoles motion controller, then they can atleast do a half decent job at PC porting.
The days of AAA FPS games exclusive to PC are long gone but games like this and Bioshock that smell and taste PC should atleast have a PC interface

I honestly can't see that going down well, its obvious the dev is struggling with the port. Which has to be expected with a Japanese dev studio. I wonder how many whiners we will see from ppl who realise a 3rd party hack and slash plays like shit with K&M.
Those looking to upgrade from console to PC however might have legitimate issues, for me i'll get it anyway cos I have the 360 version and look forward to learning how to PVP with the newer players. Plus I won't have to pay MS for a gold account just for 1 game

You mean it won't have a horrendous UI like Borderlands PC that doesn't work for shit with a mouse? Awesome.
Fuck the console whiners, this is a great move by Arkane. Looking forward to this now and definitely picking it up for the PC.
Why do people complain about Borderlands' PC interface? I had no problems with it. I think I just used the arrow keys or something, and all the screens had a keyboard shortcut to them (one thing Fallout 3 & NV lacked and pissed me off to no end). The main issue for me was the FOV, it made me sick until I figured out how to fix it.
