Since the comparison video popped up again in this thread - like I've said a hundred times already.....it's not to be trusted:
It's also been stated that the 360 version has a slightly better framerate than the PS3 version. Just wait for Digital Foundry.
Lettuce said:Hmm this is the 360 version that i captured from my gameplay session....

And dat black crush.
I'm considering cancelling my pre-order. That with the pointy elbows is just too much.
I hope there are better PC textures. This will look awful on my hi-res monitor without them.

So I've literally read all 11 pages I missed ;p
Saving this for the next time someone says you have bad taste.
I hope this isn't you misunderstanding how democracy works.
Just messing with you, but we're gonna have fun in the Infinite OT ;p
Sounds like my best case scenario for what I expected for the game. I like that sort o hub progress and that sort of reinforces the Arkham comparisons, and if the platforming is only as dumbed down as Underworld and not full-on Uncharted garbage, I think I'll enjoy at least part of this.
I'm gonna get this Thursday probably (Gamefly). I'm just sad to basically lose the elements I loved the most about the old games. The atmosphere I've seen so far is the main thing giving me some enthusiasm at the moment.
Upon completing this, any subsequent diatribe I will submit will be edited below a thousand words, I swear.

How so? No one has mentioned anything that would add replayability. Something unlocked?

Well it's already seen by some here more favorably than Uncharted 3 without anyone really jumping on them.
Sure why not.
So it must be true!

Giving Eidos/CD record, what is the likelihood of the "Tomb of the Lost Adventurer" DLC becoming available to public after release?

I thought it was more or less unwritten law that UC3 is the worst of the UCs and more or less at the bottom when it comes to these games.
The collectibles, hidden tombs, etc. They're actually worth collecting for lore reasons, unlike the treasures in Uncharted. And many of them are hidden behind little traversal puzzles, etc. If you burn through the campaign and treat it like an Uncharted, you'll have a lot to go back and do afterwards.
One was up in a tree platform and I had to follow the line back quite a ways to find the point where I could climb up and get on the path to retrieving it.
I say Uncharted 2 > Tomb Raider = Uncharted 3 > Uncharted 1.
Feel free to swap around 1 and 3 if that's your taste. Uncharted 2 is a masterpiece and is better than Tomb Raider, but I put Tomb Raider equal to my 2nd-choice Uncharted.
I never said what your post quoting me says... O_O

Ah, I see. Wouldn't call that replayability though, especially since the world is just free roam after you beat the game right? Not a new game+ or anything. I'd assume it all has to be collected in one save file for the trophs as well.
Had no idea what you were talkin about and then I checked..wtf..wonder how that happened. Maybe a multiquote hiccup.

Any chances this game is gonna get a "remaster" for next gen? I'd rather wait for that than play this game on consoles with framedips.

12-15 hours feels like a good "sweet spot" of any singleplayer narrative focused action/adventure/shooter title, that's not excessive at all. I think it's a good goal for devs, narrative wise, to create a solid 3 act story, 4-5 hours each act. Unfortunately, due to budget, time, hyper-explosive scripting speeding you through levels, whatever, most games these days are barely 7-10 hours. It works for some titles, but not only do most of those narratives fall flat, the game itself barely commands the $60 price tag.
Though Tomb Reboot looks to avoid a very short campaign it seems to commit the other design sin which is no new game+ and nothing to unlock for multiple playthroughs, even simple skins which are all pre-order bonuses.
What? Can anyone confirm this?
Says it unlocks in 1 day and 3 hours over here :/
But I'm hoping the framerate will be more than stable on PC! And complete with hair sway!

How could anyone possibly answer this.. >.<
I highly doubt it, but I'm assuming you already have a good reason for not playing it on PC, otherwise you wouldn't have made the post.

It says it unlocks in 1 day and four hours, so I guess it unlocks late on Monday night, depending on where ya live at...
That's what it says for me, as well. Exactly midnight EST. But I live in Mountain Time, so I guess I get to play it at 10pm.
Mine says 22 hours
, its country/location basedYou can see when it unlocks on the webpage for the game on steam.

What framedips? Been playing on the 360 and the framerate has been completely fine.
This is the best looking game on the 360 by the way.
Seriously? I can't see it topping Halo 4, Horizon and Gears. Maybe you just really dig the art style or something? Graphically this game is lacking in several areas imo. Lighting, shadows, textures, post processing, poly's in characters etc, not up there with the best of them. Then there's the lack of SSAO, no deferred rendering etc, that just takes away from the spectacle a little. I will say they did a fantastic job on the atmosphere and art given what they have.

Oh, wow. Did not know this. That's a huge detractor as I honestly thought the game should have bestowed a lot of Lara's later powers/abilities muchhhhh earlier.

A lot of it does have to do with the art-style - which is insanely good here. The various weather effects, the water, the fire, the lighting, the textures, the obsessive amounts of detail, the varied/interesting locations and the animations are all top shelf. Seriously, I could write a whole essay on why this game looks stunning and is one of the prettiest games I've ever played, but I think you just have to play it yourself to truly understand why it looks so damn impressive. A lot of the little things in the game add up. It's the complete package.
Based even on the screens posted, and the various video's out there, lighting, textures and detail are not strong points. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and reserve final judgement till I play it.

Why I wasn't sure what the previous poster meant about replayability. That seems like the games big weakness now. I'm guessing they put most of their effort in terms of unlockables in the mp.

Animations, the environment and weather effects are the game's visual strong points. I found it looked best at times of moderate darkness and inclement weather. I also found that the obligatory burning building stage looked a lot better than that in UC3.
Character moderls are, for the most part, pretty damn average
especially when compared to UC

My Video review for 360. If you want to skip the silly live action intro just go to 1:32. That's when the real review will kick in.
You said Laura Croft, all opinions immediately invalidated. Just kidding, still watching.

What's your source on this? DE:HR had deferred lighting.
Australia unlocks earlier i believe?
My hype for this game went pretty much from "it might be pretty decent" to 10 in less than a few days.
Just finished watching, good review as usual.

And let's not forget the torch sprite/graphic/whatever that only looks good when not being squished and deformed into a 2D mess.

I'll ask again - to anyone who played the PS3 version, did you experience any framerate slowdown?
Also Slasher watching your review now. I remember your review of RE6 back when it came out was pretty level headed, so looking forward to see what you thought of TR.
