There's an input lag.
They are quite different. There's pretty heavy input lag.
It's exactly the same as TR DE on Xbox One. I played it a bit yesterday.

I'm going to pick this game up today! Can't wait to play.
Then the xbox version of the DE has pretty heavy input lag.
I'm comparing to other games in the industry and the other versions of Tomb Raider I've played (360, PC, and PS4).
How far are you into the story?
It does not have "pretty heavy input lag".
It has a non-negligible input lag, that will be noticed by people very sensitive to input lag.
But I'm playing the game and I don't notice any input lag.
While I don't doubt that there is input lag I think how people perceive it has to do either how much laggy the rest of your chain produces. If the TV already has 40-60ms input lag, then if you are pushing the signal through a HDMI receiver that adds something etc.
I personally did not have a problem with it.

Yeah me either. I'm hitting headshots all the time with the bow. Seems fine to me.
You will be able to hit headshots even if the input lag was twice as much as it is. That's not the problem here, the problem is that it isn't as snappy as it should be...and there is proof for that i.e. Xbox 360 version does not suffer from this.
Killzone 2 was one of the best shooters on PS3 and the Multiplayer was exceptional but no one can really argue that the input lag didn't hurt the game's controls. If it didn't then they wouldn't have improved upon that on the later games.
some folks are just more sensitive to it than others + depending on whatever different setup people have, input lag could vary
Nothing else is different on my chain. I play other Xbox games on it all the time.
It's the game. It's fine if you guys don't mind or don't notice, but it's the game
Just about to go under the

Have you picked up the survivor bags? I know those reveal secret items. They are represented as skulls on the map. I'm literally trying to do everything before moving on but I know it's not possible as I need the knife and fire arrows for challenges. It's making me nervous lol. Just to be clear, we're not required to buy guns and items from the shop are we? We can get them in game right?
Nah the tactical shotgun and military rifle are only available at the shop. What else are you going to do with the coins? I finished the game and have 196 coins left over.
Yeah you have access to everything. If the document isn't showing that means you are missing an archivist map. Maybe check the one where you get the climbing arrows. Copper Mill base camp I think. There is a map around the corner.
Survival caches are linked to explorer satchels. You must be missing one as well.
You got the full 1000/1000 gamerscore and still had those coins (196) left over?
Yeah. There are two upgrade tools that you can buy. The enhancement and refinement tool. The enhancement one you find in a strongbox during the story at The Acropolis so you only need to buy the refinement tool. Regardless they put enough coins in the game that you could buy it earlier too and still get everything.
It's not enough to make the experience harder, though. The game is easy enough as is.
It's not an issue for me, either playing stealthy or guns n' blazing.

What difficulty setting does the game give you? I want to play the one step tougher than normal. And can you change it anytime?

Me too, have yet to have any issues in thr 20 odd hours of gameplay, if it gets brought up I just think "buy a new tv" lol
This game just keeps giving and giving, loving the hell out of it.
I've played ~21 hours so far and whenever I think that the game nears its end I'm mistaken and it delivers again with a new beautiful location etc.
This game really wants to compete against my current GOTY The Witcher 3 and it seems like Geralt's throne starts to crumble.
There are 4 difficulty options. Easy, Normal and Hard. You can change difficulty at any time when playing on any of these.
Then there is Survivor which is the hardest available. Once started you are locked in to Survivor on that save file. You can't drop down.
I've almost complete the game at this point, and the reason many people aren't noticing it is because its only really noticeable during combat.
And I don't mean the point before you alert the enemies and your stealthed, I mean when the guns start blazing after your spotted.
Most of the time in the game is spent running around, and the way you move the sticks when doing everything else is not in a way that it would be instantly noticeable.
To test it, slightly move your either of your sticks slightly in any direction and pay attention to the time it takes for the motion to go through to the game. Its not super obvious, but if your looking for it it is noticeable.
I'm playing on Season Raider which is a step up from regular
Also haven't noticed input delay but hey that's just me
Guys, seriously... if you can't feel it, then that's fine, but to say that the input lag isn't there is ridiculous. Even doing simple stuff like navigating through the options menu shows a delay. It's doesn't feel too bad when moving around normally, but under heavy combat scenarios it can feel quite awful. The frame drops definitely make it feel even worse.
I don't wan't to sound like I'm crapping on the game. It's one of the best I've played this year (The Witcher 3 is still my fav and even that game had some control issues that were addressed). However, the input lag is definitely there. Would be great if they fix it.

Agreed all around, and especially on the game being incredible.
If it sounds like I'm complaining too much, it's only because everything around it is very, very good -- and that controls in particular and the snappy feeling were always highlights of the TR2013 experience. I would never NOT recommend this game to someone based on the input lag.
Well presumably they're comparing it to other games they've played which would be using the same chain of hardware. ROTR has heavy input lag relative to most other games, that's just fact. Try jumping into a heavy fire fight and quickly take out 3 or 4 enemies at once with headshots - you'll feel how sluggish it is easily.
I will certainly be pimping the hell out of it AND buying again.
I did. I played the game to 100% completion on Survivor and also have several no 1 scores in score attack.
Maybe it's because I played TR DE on Xbox One too and it has the same issue but that's the Tomb Raider I know.

Well, horde like I do every fucking thing in these games. But thanks, guess I'll buy what I can now.
Anyone else not diggin the expedition stuff?
I mean, I like the idea, and the depth of options the cards provide, but I feel like the larger areas don't make for a fun arcade setting. Kind of wish they would have done something like Alan Wake American Nightmare where there were some set maps made for the score attack mode.
The slower pace, set piece stuff is fine when you're playing the game normally, but when its added into a score attack setting, well, I just don't feel like it works so far.
Anyone got any tips on what cards to activate? Been putting it on survivor and trying got up the ante with cards that go against you. I'll keep plugging at it, but I think it could use some work.
Might check out the season pass as well depending on gaf impressions.

Yeah, me too. Hope it at least had something of a pulse here in NA. I'll be buying the PS4 edition again when it's released.

Is the Misguided Intelligence bird disappearing a confirmed glitch?
I looked everywhere, can't find it, and it's not where any of the walkthroughs I checked have it.

You have to complete the quest for doing all the optional tombs. You get the quest from a lady in the Village.
Have you not used a gun in the game? There is very noticeable lag.
