First person shooters haven't really evolved much over the past decade and a half. Yeah, they've added more tweaks, like cover, sprinting, stealth, and the unnecessary infection of quick-time events, but ever since Quake entered our lives in the latter half of the 90s, anyone playing an FPS today could easily hop in and play any of those games

"....but the textures are often marred with some blurriness and sloppy aliasing in places. Looking around at subtle details, you'd see debris look as if it's flattened or tattooed into the surface it's laying on. Even forks on a dining table looked like someone steam-rolled them into the wood finish, it stood out more than it blended in. Even for last-gen standards, that's pretty sloppy. No idea if it's any different on the PC version."

Got it on my gaming PC running with an overclocked Nvidia 680, and I can confirm that even with the settings cranked right up (so in theory it's visually better than the PS4 version) that these flat textures are still there. The worst and most noticeable place for them is the resistance base. Also the FOV slider on the PC version hardly does shit all which is rather sad, and I can't confirm if it was running in excess of 60fps (though it felt like it).

Oh and it's a large 40GB+ download via steam. I'm a bit reluctant to download it again until we get fibre optic internet installed in our area.

That's a real shame. I was kinda hoping that maybe textures were improved on the PC. That "flattened" look is so awful, that's the kinda crap they used to let slide back in the late 90s. D:

It's not that, it's either a constraint of the id tech engine in so much that it can't do small details, or just rushed/lazy development work. More likely the later.

It's a good looking game still for the most part, but I expect better from the PC version considering that PC rigs have been doing stuff that looks better than the PS4 can handle for at least two years now! More so if it's a stinking 40GB download.
