Honestly the base game is so good that a compromised console port was nothing to scoff at if you couldn't play it on PC back then. Sure it has worse visuals and performance, and for some reason streamlined character building, but otherwise it's a straight port.

The marketing boasted "bonus levels", but if that's not the new tutorial it must have included some levels broken up for memory limitations because I don't remember any other difference. Some online forums mention a pre-order room with some hax items, and an NPC encounter turned into a minor boss fight, but again I have no recollection of that.

The only true difference is the tutorial, which I'd say is better than on PC. If you want to do a "full" run, play the tutorial on Xenia, then switch to the PC version and start over. There's zero reason to play on console now, but if you're familiar with the PC game the Xbox tutorial is a nice curiosity.

Who's scoffing at it dude? I preordered it the day it was announced. Also the Xbox tutorial was way helpful cause I was drunker then shit the first time I played this lol. Kept accidentally hitting jump when I meant to hit slash and there was a knight slicing me to pieces for like 5 minutes before I figured it out. Then I finally whooped his ass though...lol.

Eh I dunno, need to see more. Looks sort of nice in some scenes, in others the old lighting was more moody and real time feels way too bright.

Where are the news about coop mod you bastard, last video was 8 months ago.

the light sources are far, far too bright. a small latern or wall sconce isn't going to burn with 3000+ lumens. the scene in the sewers where the torches are so bright they render the stone walls adjacent as blindingly white are probably the most egregious example of this.

It clearly looks worse than the original game.

Considering mods for this game are almost non-existent, this seems like a big waste of effort. I'd rather modders work on refining the gameplay or restoring some of the cut content.
