Hey,

How does this work in conjunction with your GPAA and GBAA, does it integrate well and does it give much of a performance hit compared to say MSAA or Supersample?

For the record, this post was about anti-aliasing. But ignoring that, overall JC2 received favorable reviews, with the PC version in fact getting better metacritic rating than the consoles (PC: 84, PS3: 83, 360: 81). It was also widely regarded as a NOT a console port, but a well made PC version.

With that said, any multi-platform game will likely have some amount of consolitis for the PC version, just like the console versions will suffer some compromises from sharing code with a PC target. For instance, as you said, I know we had some input issues. Certainly some general issues for all platforms, but also some PC specific in particular, for instance the KB/Mouse controls were never tweaked as carefully as the gamepad controls. Of course, a gamepad on PC was still the best experience, but for those playing on KB/Mouse, there were indeed some complaints on the forums. I never heard much complaints about input lag, but "negative mouse acceleration" was a common complaint. Maybe this is what you're referring to? If you're coming from a FPS background this could very well be a problem.

You can't trash talk other games by using the word consolitis when your own game had a ridiculous amount of input lag when the framerate drops under 40 fps.

Pretty safe to assume that the horrible laggy aiming for everyone without a top end computer did more damage to the success of the game than a lack of AA support ever would.

...looking again at my proj matrix code makes me realize that the 4th row reflects indeed what you are saying

Switching from alpha blend to alpha to coverage at 4xMSAA doesn't look as good but at least let you avoid depth sorting...

Can't decide what I dislike the most, depth sorting or having few alpha levels.
