It's probably worth knowing that people with some pretty powerful rigs are finding the game runs terribly at times, with frame rate drops where there definitely shouldn't be.

Stranger's Wrath HD was a superb re-release of an tragically underrated Xbox game, and the fact it came to PlayStation 3, Vita and PC was very satisfying. Munch's Oddysee HD was due a similar second chance, but unfortunately one of those platforms has had to be dropped... for now, at least.

2K Marin, the developers behind Bioshock 2 and, most recently, The Bureau: XCOM Declassified, have been struck with layoffs, according to sources speaking with Rock, Paper, Shotgun and Polygon. After contacting 2K, a representative told the following to Polygon:  “We can confirm staff reductions at 2K Marin. While these were difficult decisions, we regularly evaluate our development efforts and have decided to reallocate creative resources. Our goal to create world-class video game titles remains unchanged.” One ex-employee posted on Twitter…
