So, will you be able to play online co op with strangers as well as friends, or just friends? I'd like some details on the matchmaking or if it will just be like Quick Match, Custom Match, etc.
I have been waiting for this update so I can tell my friend to buy it and play online with him. I'd also like to play some GAFers as well. Can't wait for the 27th.

Nearing completion of first playthrough with a friend. I only get to hang with him once every 2 weeks, so it's taken us a while, but we have loved every second.
Didn't Crystal Dynamics state that the first batch of DLC would be free because of the fact that the co-op was not active? Are there any details on the DLC yet?

Just finished the game with a friend, what a great experience, although I thought the last levels got a little hectic sometimes with all the firebombs raining out of the sky and all the firetraps.. Sometimes it just wasn't fun anymore.
I remember people talking about a puzzle that involves fire and I'm pretty sure I know which one they were talking about, I felt pretty smart when I figured it out.. Then came the raptors. :lol Very well made.
Let's hope the DLC comes out for the PS3 version sometime this year, the online coop can rot in limbo for all I care at this point. I just want more levels, puzzels and characters (if they're not just reskins).

It is. I'm on a mission to tell people that this game is a steal for 12$.Second said:
It's different from Tomb Raider games though.

There should've been DLC by now.
I'm still curious to know what extra characters they're going to put in this game, maybe Tifa or Cloud.

That's good news. I haven't bought the game yet, but that will probably convince me.Keir_Eidos said:
Is it possible for you to tell how the netcode works for long distances? If I'm in Europe, and I play with someone in Japan, will that actually work or will there too much of a delay to the movement or other type of lag?

Anyone know if there'll be a patch for the PS3 version besides the co-op one? I still can't get the trophies to show up.

Not as deep as he thinks
Well, I had downloaded the demo from that GameStop thing a while back and I finally decided to purchase the game tonight. It's a lot of fun. However, there's a problem. The game appears on my trophy list, but it just doesn't unlock trophies. What's up with that? Any solutions?
Got it last night(PS3 version) and couldnt stop playing for 2 hours!
The most fun TR game ever made i think!
Too bad ps3 version doesnt have online co-op yet, too bad it is a game which should be played by co-op only and it lacks it at launch
(i dont have friends who would play it now with me at my place)

Anyone can tell me if there are any technical differences between the ps3 and 360 versions? (I know about the online coop, it's not really important for me, I'm interested in local) I could go safe and buy the 360 version but I feel like I've had my ps3 abandoned for quite a bit now and I'd like a reason to turn it on again...
molekiller said:
360 version is superior technically - has better and consistent framerate. On PS3 you shoot with R2 and grapple with R1 from what I remember, which some people find problematic, but this isn't a twitch shooter like Call of Duty so that issue isn't as big a deal as it could be.

If you download it in the first 30 days it's free. After that, people that download it will have to pay. Not sure on the prices yet.
The DLC is awesome too. I was lucky enough to play test some of it while I was out at Crystal. The designers came up with loads of great ideas for maps and puzzles while making LCGoL that they weren't able to implement into the game, but were able to put in the DLC.
(Disclaimer: The DLC is completely additional, and is purely for people that crave about more LCGoL action beyond the game)
And for the PS3/PC gamers amongst us, here's what Karl Stewart said in an interview with Kotaku a while back.

Being a part of Summer of Arcade was a great honour for LCGoL. It's certainly not Crystal's intention to treat anyone like third rate customers, on a personal level however, I do understand your frustration.
I don't make the calls on exclusivity, but what I can do is pass on feedback to the people that do, so your voice is heard.
I know this isn't much - but the good news is this 360 update brings us a significant step closer to the PC and PS3 updates.

How does the DLC work, are the new levels added on to the main game or are they accessed from a separate menu?Keir_Eidos said:
Also, could you possibly shed some light on the new characters DLC, dates (estimates) and what characters? Will they be simply new skins/models or will they have unique play mechanics?

Yep, I've been told that's going to be fixed in a forthcoming patch. You heard it here first.
Princess Skittles said:
The new levels are completely additional, so once you've got the title update a new menu box will appear and you can access the DLC from there.
Can't shed any more info on the DLC right now, but we'll be releasing more details along with screenshots in the not too distant future.

I cannot find the DLC. I just loaded up the game and got the update but when I go into Download Content, there is no content listed.
Generally by this time of night (11pm here in Brisbane, Aust atm) all dlc that is meant to be up that day is up.
I cant see it on the Marketplace either. Either it isnt out yet, or it is and I am blind or Australia got shafted

So... the PS3 and PC versions were supposed to come out with co-op right away, it didn't happen... and now the 360 is getting first and PC/PS3 owners have to wait :/

I really don't care for online co-op at all (anymore) and it probably won't even translate into sales since they missed their opportunity by a HUGE margin.
I just want some DLC for the PS3. Maybe next year then?

Horrible DLC support? The game has only been out for 2 months.Angst said:
Now, adding online co-op did take 1 month longer than it should have, but at least we're getting it. If we had gotten online co-op a month ago and it had been a glitchy mess, people would complain even more. Hopefully the extra month was so that they could get rid of all glitches and make decent net code.
EDIT: The DLC is up on the marketplace now.

So, how about that DLC for Underworld that added to the story, hmmm?
You know, the DLC that is apparently significant enough that the 360 playerbase recommends us PC/PS3 owners of Underworld go Youtube it?
Hmmm?
Yeah, that's what I thought. CD doesn't give a shit about us PC/PS3 owners for this series. :|
