This really stands out when you play on the higher detail settings and higher resolutions that the PC allows. The PC version ships on three discs, as opposed to one for consoles, to accommodate the higher-resolution content we provide for the PC. As you go up from there to the High, Very High, and Ultra settings the difference is enormous. IGN: How much of a difference would you say anyone with a high-end PC will be able to notice if they crank up all the settings compared to someone playing on consoles or even someone playing on PC with medium settings? Chris Kline: Playing the PC version on Medium settings is fairly close to the console version, though higher quality in a few areas. The extra time and resources allowed us to really do it right this time around. From very early on the PC was given equal standing with the other platforms, with its own "strike team" of programmers, game designers, UI specialists, and artists who were on-call to address PC-specific needs. This time around things were done differently. In hindsight, we underestimated both the amount of time required to build a PC-friendly UI and also the challenge of getting the game running well on DX10 which was brand-new at the time. This meant that we had to make tough decisions regarding where we spent our time and how we allocated our resources. It took the extraordinary efforts of everyone on the team just to get the game running while meeting our unreasonably high quality bar. IGN: How does your approach to the PC version of Infinite differ from how the PC version of the original BioShock was handled? Chris Kline: The original BioShock was Irrational's first major title to appear not just on PC but on console as well.
