FINALLY!

Patch description says the following:

Thanks to forum member SureShot for these good news.

Note #1: Owners of the German release should use this link to get the correct patch for their version.

Dunno the source of these images, but seems to possibly be originating from user(s) at the GameSpot forums.

looks MUCH better now, this is how it shoulda been from the get go... this and a lot more publicity.

Yes, they were from GameSpot/GameFAQs forum. When posting that I was at an university and didn't have possibility to test the patch myself and do new screens .
But the game looks a LOT better now.

I don't see why it wouldn't be, but I hope this patch is already added to the May 15th USA release...
