Well, don't expect the PC version of Far Cry 4 to be better than the console version's. Ubisoft continues to show it's hatred of PC's, and desire to ensure the PC does not outshine consoles, by confirming that the PC version of FC4 is gimped to match the consoles.

Relevant quote: "So even out of the box, even day one, we just stuck the code on the new consoles and we were able to dial it all the way up. So as a console player you’re already getting by far the best version we can ship."

Console best version? Technically it shouldn't be, as even ~3 year old gaming PC's have better hardware than either console - so should be able to display/use higher textures, better AA, etc than either the XBO or PS4. So only way this can be true... is if they have forced 'parity' between each platform by gimping the PC version.

From a business perspective, I can see the interest in this - Ubisoft get a better ROI from console sales than PC sales, so by gimping the PC version they hope to encourage more console sales. This is because if PC is obviously better, then people with both console & PC will more likely choose PC version, which results in less profit for Ubisoft.
