Less Interactivity than before?

[Sakonosolo]

Sam just said on the other page they removed the extra physics interactions because it took a hit on the game performance, not sure if you didn't see that or something.

Sorry, I should learn to quote for my responses. I was replying to the post 2 posts above mine who said that throwing chairs around ruins the atmosphere of the game.

Performance is at least a decent reason although this is a PC game. Obviously the game should be scalable but taking things out so that it can be run on 5 year old laptops with integrated graphics seems kind of counter-intuitive. Of course I have no idea how much of a performance hit it was. And not sure if it's possible to put something to limit interactivity as a performance option. I know that Serious Sam 3 and FEAR both have options that deal with physics that you can turn down.
