Negative points:
- bugs that are not present in the original (anymore)
- lower res textures with too much compression
- in some cases some very bad texture stretching (where a small texture like a floortile is stretched much bigger than the original, making it seem very low resolution) Some textures are placed correctly now, but the normal map is still stretched (in Jensens apartment for example)
- worse quality SSAO; the SSAO is terrible in the directors cut, it makes things look muddy and low-res
- terrible tesselation, black dots appear on tesselated characters, which is not present in the original
Positive:
- Slightly better boss battles, stealth based builds are now in less of a disadvantage, you still have to kill the bosses though.
- The missing link is integrated, which is nice
