On PC Deus Ex Human Revolution

There's an interview with Eidos: Montreal and Nixxes Software on GameSpy discussing the Windows edition of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the upcoming action/RPG prequel. This covers the efforts made by Nixxes Software and AMD to create a version of the game that is more that just a straight port of the console editions. Here are a pair of quotes about this:

Julien Bouvrais: First off, Nixxes developed a DX11 renderer that is used on the PC, when available. We did leverage this by adding several features you will see when you have DX11 hardware on your PC: real-time tessellation, improved Screen Space Ambient Occlusion, improved blurs and depth of field. We also added custom support for AMD's Eyefinity (multiple monitors), and 3DHD. On another note, the user interface has been tailored for the keyboard, and mouse controls can be fully customized for your gaming habits.

Jurjen Katsman: We did quite a lot of work on anti-aliasing as well. We offer various anti-aliasing options to gamers to choose from depending on how powerful their hardware is. They really help smooth out rough edges that you can see more easily on a PC monitor.

PC gamers don't really need fov controls. The fov has more to do with how close your eyes are to the screen than they do with the width of the screen. Also, since you are further away, they usually have to make everything a bit bigger on a tv monitor in order to understand what things are without squinting all the time, and a lower fov makes things bigger. So in general, consoles need small fov, and pcs need bigger. But most ports use the console fov on the pc version, so people ask for a way to at least change it, so that they can restore it to a sane value. But a game designed around one fov doesn't quite feel the same with more - you can maybe see the enemies a bit soon which can throw the balance off - so a lot of devs use that as their excuse.

I just played the beta. I hope that either they clean the game up a lot more, or that it's just the beginning tutorial level that's terrible. This game is less interactive than most fps - you cant even shoot out beakers in the laboratory. Goldeneye from 1998 says hello. Also what's with the long cutscene? You are given the perspective of your character during it, but no controls? You can't pull out your gun and start shooting people either. Not a good sign, but I still have some hope that it's just a bad tutorial section. I am a bit confused though, everyone was saying it was good and captured the Deus Ex spirit. From what I've seen, it's worse even than IW.
