Borderlands graphics - PC vs 360

[300lb. Samoan]

So I'm playing borderlands today and I notice the speech animations on Patricia Harris aren't so well synced, then it occurred to me: Scarves, mouth-covers, slots in doors, a lot of the characters didn't have any facial animation.

So if Randy claims that the PC version graphics destroy the console version, then hopefully the PC version has full character design? If so then that seals it: I'm returning this one to Blockbuster and I'm getting the PC version and a couple of friends to run it with. This game kicks plenty ass, and I couldn't stand not owning the fully developed game.

I never noticed any lip synching issues, but I also didn't really pay attention to that. People still have mouth covers all over the place, stuff like that (it makes sense if you live in a dusty wasteland at least). Personally, I always prefer PC to console, but poor lip synching is an underlying problem with the game and has nothing to do with graphical horse power.

yea but I was wondering in terms of engine development, maybe those animation systems were left out of the xbox version to save space or processes. sounds like it's the same thing, right? i never thought about the dusty wasteland, i guess that makes more sense now - the only people i see full facial animation on are marcus and patricia and anyone else who's indoors.

not that i like the game any less - i'm just pretty sure i want to finish it on PC so i can get the full effect. i just wish i could transfer this character to pc

The real benifit from PC is that you can turn on AA and AF with the addition of not having to Upscale to 1080p (the 360 does, don't know if PS3 does). Maybe I'll take a screenshot?

I have been to buzzy setting things on fire with my smg to have noticed that.
But i don't mind that anyway. It looks good, works for me.
