Okay so ive spent about 3 hours playing so far and i honestly havent seen even 1 instance of stuttering. The game runs as smooth as the og xbox version, im up to the lumberyard.
Here are some of the pros or differences from the original that i've noticed so far
Obviously better and higher resoltion textures now that its all running in 720p
The camera is now pulled back so that york is always in full view
Camera is easier to control
Menus are lightning quick
Map pulls back a little more and doesnt rotate with you making it slightly less but still pretty much useless
Controls are much improved
Cars dont mysteriously jerk to the left or right for no reason anymore
Game seems to be permanently set to easy difficulty or possibly easier
No green filter over the graphics (not a real pro, just a preferance thing)
Cons
York voice seems to be filtered thru a metallic chamber at times, it seems completely random, his voice is accompanied by distracting echoes
This only happened to me once but the music was clipping and stuttering at the title screen, 2nd time i played, no clipping
Driving with R1 fucking sucks
Voices during cutscenes sometimes randomly sound distant and low volume compared to the bgm
No water textures
When picking up or observing certain items there is a very noticeable slowdown in the game
Thats all ive noticed so far, again im still pretty early but these were just my expierences, none of that stuttering that other ppl are getting, just a consistant 30 fps or watever it is, might be because my game is running off ssd on an og 60 gig or maybe im not far enough in the game before it really kicks in
