    i think it is a directx 9 game.
    i am really disappointed that it is not dx11 or at least dx10. the graphics are so/so. seen alot better. the game play has been done a hundred times before so it is nothing new.
    overall i give it a 7/10.

    i avg around 35-55 fps in game. doesnt matter what settings i use besides AA that make any difference.

    There's a really great and in depth comparison of Bulletstorm on all three platforms over at eurogamer's site. Found here...

    It really shows how much they had to scale back the console versions from the PC...

    PC..

    Thanks for the link.

    It's starting to get a little redundant to compare console graphics with PC, the 360 is almost 6 years old and it still can deliver enough quality to match the newest GPU's, though developers are holding the PC back. :wanker:

    With all these stupid ports, PC gaming is dying. Even Bulletstorm has major launch bugs, I'm getting really tired of waiting for patches...

    360, here I come. Price/quality ratio wins.

    really? 360 or PS3 will never match the "newest GPUs"... your comment is way off. The fact I can run this average game at 1080p with AA/AF already makes it a lot better looking game. not to mention the better, higher res textures.

    I think my english failed on me, of course PC looks better.. .

    The 360 matches PC graphics but it's not exactly as good, get it?

    (The graphics are the same, but running on medium on the 360, and high or very high on the PC. It's not a day/night difference like with the original Xbox or PS2.)

    yeah, I know what you mean. I can easily play games in lower resolution and with low/no AA on my ps3. they still look good, well, most of them do. It's good to have a half decent gaming rig and a console. I don't see why you're going for the 360 though, ps3 offers better exclusives.

    Got my copy this morning.
    And installed it this afternoon.
    First impressions.
    The game runs at full settings (even though, my res is 1280x960) at 62 FPS (The cap).
    Looks beautiful and runs beautiful, didn't play much though. So far so good!


    PS: I have installed the latest game patch. Latest PhysX (v9.10.0514). Latest Game for Windows Live. All the available Visual C++ Redist (x86 and x64) Just in case people wonder.

    I'm curious to know something. Check your uninstalls and see if you have Windows Live ID Sign-in Assistant.

    The black bars are not what's wrong, the game is letterboxed. They are there by design.

    But, from looking at the screenshot, mostly the gun... it looks as if the color depth is incredibly low. Instead of rendering properly, it seems as if it's rendering at a low color depth.
    Most likely a driver conflict.


    And, Bulletstorm has actually been a rather smooth launch. Yes, there are the normal issues that pop up with a new release. Windows LIVE has already said they are working on updates to their delivery system for updates and compatibility for the game.
    PCF and Epic have said there will be continued support and updates for the PC (all versions) of the game.

    And, I'd be willing to bet future drivers will also help resolve certain issues in the game.

    The game isn't letterboxed for me @ 16:10.

    So you keep saying...
    Well then be happy, because you lucked out. Where as there are people posting at the same resolution as you with a letterboxed presentation.

    Though, you've also said your version didn't have the options in the menu to disable aim assist even though it's right there in the options menu. So... who knows.

    Your LCD is scaling it (either Nvidia CP or Monitors Settings) ?

    I am on a Sony FW900 CRT so no artificial scaling and 16:10 has black bars but I cannot remember them originally before I messed with config's but could have been there !
