I wouldn't count on it. The original game STILL stutters for a ton of people without registry tweaks. I wouldn't be surprised if they never bother fixing it on the Director's Cut either.

I have the disk version from Amazon (which arrived surprisingly quicl for Super Saver Shipping. Saved $10 off the Wii U version in the end), and I have to report the same thing also happen with the video being choppy in some spots, but for you not to encounter any major frame dips means that the download version must be the superior version. One thing I really noticed, though, is how some of the textures look really good. It's too bad the animation isn't mo-capped, as its the only janky thing that looks off for the entire game.

Can anyone with this on PS3 describe how the Vita-based features work? Is it cross-controller based? Or will my Vita basically be sitting around on my desk serving as the minimap?
From my experience so far, the texture work is pretty fantastic. You can see on my other post where you can see the fabric detail on Jensens clothes. That applies to all the other characters too. Also think that having a different lighting style definitely makes things look much sharper.
That said, I was hoping Stright Right would know how to handle WiiU optimization better. Don't get me wrong though: All the effects are in, and there aren't an huge choppy framedrops to speak off, but was hoping they could at least spent the time optimizing the code to make it buttery smooth. I find it odd that that Main Menu appears to have framedrops when there's no game running, but runs smoother when in a middle of a game. So far, I noticed this choppy video too in the Behind the Scenes film reel, but I dunno if it can be something that could be quickly patched.

I'm liking it better without the filter too. Funny you should say that with a New Vegas avatar; removing the yellow tint (and the green in FO3) were the first things I did
Edit: I'd forgotten how low-res some of these textures are, at least at 1200p 0_o

Huh, I see someone on Miiverse saying the Wii U version still has achievements and posts them to your activity feed on Miiverse. Neat if so.
Bob Page: "Yes"
It also posts on the MiiVerse for you automatically when you get an Achievement.
Already posted an infolog on the first mission, though have yet to encounter other people's infologs.

Removing the green tint in Fallout 3 was necessary in my book. I am pretty sure that was one of the first mods I got for 3. I don't remember New Vegas being as bad, but to be fair I modded the crap out of that game so it is possible one of the many graphics mods removed it or toned it down and I didn't know.

Wii U digital version here. Download was 14GB. Game runs fairly smooth during gameplay on the big screen. I'd say 30fps pretty much all the time aside from a dip here and there during busier scenes. Off TV play is fantastic. Texture and Lighting work is nice, and I like the ease of access to information on the gamepad while playing on the television. This is my first run through the game. I like the world an nd the story thus far. Will dig into it more tomorrow.

Its hard to tell just by looking at it, but WiiU version has had many man months of CPU optimisation put into it already. It generally holds its own, but those 3 cores are busting at the seams when there are tons of background streaming, decompression, entity processing, animation, AI, and new scaleform scenes popping up.
Did you work on the project? If so, hats off to you. I can't even imagine how much of a pain in the ass it was trying to rejigger everything to work on the Wii U's CPU. Based on the dev commentary in HR the overall game sounds like it's held together with duct tape as is due to the engine they used throwing up roadblocks at virtually every stop.

Yeah, I really enjoy how candid and upfront they are in the commentary.
Yeah, the part about the sanitation airlocks used as loading screens and how they didn't want to pull this kind of cheap trick. That said, I missed the commentary about the engine as I've only activated it towards the beginning of the first mission and not the very beginning.
I can somewhat tell. The Wii U version doesn't tone down any textures and whatnot, and on top of that there's a strategy guide also being rendered onto the second screen that seems to be its own app. I also noticed it's using the new Autodesk Gameware that recently got licensed for Wii U. Add on top of that the MiiVerse functionality and I can see they didn't skimp out on features.

No it uses the exact same AA solutions as before. Edge, low/medium/high FXAA, and MLAA. I'm hoping someone jumps in here and helps us with a control panel based solution that gives us real AA.

Has anybody tried ENB with the new build?

If you play in DX9 mode you can use SGSSAA but as always it comes with a fairly big performance hit.
So, it's still pretty much the definitive version?

Unless you're someone who convulses when a game isn't locked at 60fps, it's the best way to play the game.
I'm primarily a PC gamer now, but I was a console gamer most of my life--fps doesn't bother me unless it's in the single digits.
I posted this another Deus Ex thread, but I intended to post it in this one.
A common question being asked is if you can re-earn achievements or trophies?
Here is the answer:
On the PS3 version you CAN get a whole new platinum even if you have gotten the platinum for the original version.
For the 360 version you CANNOT.

Just something to consider for trophy/achievements hunters.

Yeah, if you guys get it cheaper there, by all means get it.
Yeah, I realized that today... I feel like such a dumbass..
Weird how the 360 version is the only one without a separate achievement list.
Yeah, there's no denying it was built for the WiiU, and the experience is quite something. Just tinkering around, and having the eBooks and pocket secretaries on the pad which you can scroll with just your finger...and man, the hacking really feels alot more fun.
Was able to pick this up thanks to selling some cards. Quick impressions since I'm posting from my mobile.
Despite how the screenshots looked, I really like the new lighting system. Hated the piss filter but trying to use ENB on the original tanked my framerate. Speaking of framerate, after doing the registery fixes I'm getting a rock solid 60fps on DX11 with everything maxed at 1080p.
So far my only real negative are the prerendered scenes. They're still shit quality wise, and so jarring when you cut back and forth because you get the super dark yellow tinted prerendered scene then the more naturally lit game, causes a bit of a disconnect.

That's good to know, it seems like the game is a natural fit for the WiiU gamepad. Are the pre-rendered cutscenes and audio of good quality?
With the exception of maybe the opening credits, the prerendered stuff is pretty hi-res. I was fooled once into thinking it was actually being rendered in real-time. The only giveaway was the lighting and the tint used in the custcenes.

Any footage of the vita functionality?
This is what is out there so far.
Nothing on the official DX websites other than logos. Nothing on any game review website other than, "Oh and it also functions with the Vita."
Fuck this phone.
I'll use this DP to let you know I made a few more Steam grid view icons.

So the off-screen functionality is strictly Vita and Wii U, correct? No way to access it with the PC version and an iPad or something?

I actually like this, since I still have some achievements left to get on the original copy. I may pick this up to tide me over until next gen.
There is smartglass support on the 360. Not sure about PC though

I don't NEED to use my ipad do I?
Sorry if this has been answered, having trouble browsing from my phone.
Also, I had originally planned on doing a hard run, then a run where I didn't kill anybody in the original release. Can I do the same here, but will it be easier with new game plus?
Since the achievements are the same, the saves aren't, are they? I know it's a long shot, but I have about 3 hours played in the original. I don't mind starting over but it would be dope if I didn't have to.

The store page mentions some Intel Screen Control thing that I haven't really heard of before and couldn't get good search results on. Then there's the iPad shown in the OP.

Buying the PS3 version on my way home. Will post those Vita impressions later.
Toshiba 1TB I think? It was one of the first officially listed supported ones. Never really had issues with my other games, so I don't know if it's a streaming issue, game issue, or my Wii U. Some scenes are less obvious than others, but the camera pans are choppy especially in the intro cut scene.
Awesome, thank you. A lot of people are curious.

I already own the original on my Mac and it runs with everything full there, but tbh I got to the first boss, died a bunch of times and never went back to it.
I'm wondering if it would be worth going back to; the U is my favourite system to game on, and the rebalances and new gimmicks might be enough to get me going again.

First poor thing to report about the PS3 version's port (unrelated to Vita)
The rifle shots are now super compressed. Like they didn't QA the shit. Needs to be patched
