I'm really looking forward to this game. Having Ps3 and PC, I'd prefer to get it for the PS3, UNLESS they have the same controls as Oblivion. No Legacy controller love!!
If that's the case well, then I guess it's off to the PC then.
You'd think that Legacy and Southpaw support would be standard by now.

 

this is going to be more demanding than Crysis based on the screens i saw lol..

 

what screens did you see??? from what i've seen the game looks slightly better than oblivion and in some cases even worse(muddy textures seems to be all over the place and the antialiasing is terrible!!)...

 

i saw them on www.yougamers.com digg it up a bit

 

The PC version is cheaper. Woot! Enjoy the price premium, console fans.
