How is BL for the PC in comparison to the Xbox, you ask?

To Quote :

Current Improvements

    Higher quality anti-aliasing using FXAA (BL console used EdgeAA).

    Optional super high quality super-sampled anti-aliasing (SSAA). Users will be able to select these through the UI in a soon to come update, but for now you can pass -ssaa2x or -ssaa4x on the command line to enable them.

    Support for resolutions > 720p (whatever your monitor/GPU will support).

    Screen-space ambient occlusion (SSAO) which makes for better contact shadows and more solid looking objects.

    Major improvements to the network code. The game handles latency/lag in multiplayer much better, especially in large games or games where some players have very bad pings.

    Support for keyboard and mouse!


Upcoming Improvements

    Uncapped rendering (>30 fps, up to whatever your GPU and monitor can handle).

    High fidelity (60 fps) simulation option for single player.

    Increased draw distance with user settable overrides.

    Improved shadow quality, distance, and resolution.

    User settable FOV.

    Fully remappable controls.

    Text chat.

    All DLC content from the console versions, including pre-order bonuses.


I haven't played the game and probably won't, because my laptop is shit, but hey, BRÜTAL LEGEND! Get it while it's hot! And you know it's always hot!

Also it's still in beta, so bear that in mind.

What a strange and beautiful world I beheld, but dangerous too, I was certain. And I was friendless and homeless. And so I prayed.

I'd throw money at the screen but i don't have any.
And even if i had i'd have to upgrade my "rig" first because it still remembers "Sonic 2006".

Anyway BL sounds sounded and will sound awesome.
