I'm playing it now! I haven't played the original PC release, but I have played the original Xbox version. Things I noticed:
> Controller support works well.
Although the screen to set up all the controls is confusing and looks really cheap
> Better models and textures
When you interact with a message stone and it has a screenshot from the original game there, the difference is VERY clear
> Inclusion of walk/run button
Thank god because Abe ran way too fast originally
> It obviously isn't 100% complete
A lot of the message/tutorial stones still reference stuff like 'Black Button' from the original game, and reference the original control scheme even though its been changed
> The menu looks like shit
Very obviously still the original. Very compressed. Abe and Munch in the middle very obviously just a movie file and not an actual model. And the loading screen is much higher res than the rest of the menu which is a bit jarring
Overall, it's alright. It isn't perfect, but it's getting there. The audio quality for abes voice is strangely low quality, and I'd like to see some improvements made to how movement works (ie, get rid of the annoying auto-movement thing the game does when you get too close to a wall). Not perfect. Not as good as the HD version on PS3 from what I've seen. But certainly playable.
