[ladyksiezniczka]

what do you thinke about new TR? Have you got it?

[Jinx]

not on mac yet

[Eldincy]

Its coming next year for PC

[DeJaVuRick]

I have it on Xbox One, rest assured its a great game and in my opinion better than the last, however graphics are inconsistant, indoor enviroments look a hell of a lot better than the open outside enviroments, no AA and serious drop in frame rates at times.
That said when this hits PC its going to look incredible at a solid 60 frames and cant wait to play it again myself!

If you are a fan you not gonna be dissapointed!

Why are people still hyped about 60fps in 2015? Try 120fps, buddy.

People are still hyped about 60fps in PC games because even in 2015, developers have hard time trying to get 60fps in their games. A lot of times AAA games can still be at a lock 30fps.

Very few are locked at 30fps, and the few that are get unlocked quickly. It is more developer ignorance then a tehcnical issue. That and developers thinking tying a physoics system to frame rtate is a super good idea when it in reality is a terrible idea always.

Lara's hair rendering forced XBox to lock both Tomb Raider Definitive and Rise Of The Tomb Raider at 30fps.
With that out of the way, both would have run solid 58~60fps the whole time.

I doubt that very much. It is expensive, but RITR wouldn't be able to run 1080p @ 60fps even without it an xbox one.

my bad, since I'm generally glad to sacrifice resolution over fluidity, I mentioned fps only.
let's say 900/720p @ 60fps, hair bs disabled. That would have been a more achievable target performance for xbox in both games.

I found the first one pretty mediocre, bordering on bad. I'm waiting for a big Steam discount on this. I want it to fail so that we can get a proper Tomb Raider. The only one I really like is Anniversary, which wasn't without its problems. I think the series has amazing potential, but what they're doing with it now is just a waste.

watched the first hour or so of gameplay.
It's nice and, sure, closer to classic Tomb Raider games than TR2013 was.
It still has the few things I hated about TR2013 , such as items haunting challenges and some QTE but it's promising.
Problem is, as we speak even a simplified version Tomb Raider Underworld would fail at sales cause mainstream/casual gamers these days
- want to be told what button to press and what ability to use, if there's more than one
- rely on the in-game help system (survival instinct) rather than their own eyes
- need a mini-map for everything

NO. If RotTR fails, you can say goodbye to the whole franchise.
even TR 2013 (the best seller among all Tomb Raider games) wasn't profitable to Square Enix until not too long ago.

I'd rather risk having a good game than settle for a series of generic, mediocre ones. It's good to see this game overshadowed by Fallout 4, Black Ops III, Halo 5 and others, even if I don't care about those. The delay on the other platforms will further hurt this game.

RotTR is the closest thing possible to something that might please long time TR fans AND casuals, to some extent.
Problem is, casuals are the majority ;D
And if the majority of people you think might like your AAA game end up not buying your AAA game, all that's left for you , the publisher, is give up on the brand, cause the money from long time fans is just not enought to make another AAA game. Hell, not even TR2013 was profitable until not to long ago! And that's the best seller TR game ever. And of course it HAS to be AAA, cause that's what the current publisher wants TR to be, okay?
So, who do you think in the next few years would take over TR (brand synonymous of "games for gamers with a brain") if NOW (noob era of gaming) nobody bought it, despite being noob friendly while still closer to what TR fans wanted?

That's why I think the brand will die if this kind of TR game won't succeed.
The alternative is TR to go indie.

I'm bothered that Lara continues to swap between an empath and a psychotic murderer.
