That wasn't even the hardest AR training.. >.>;

I managed to finish them all eventually but I was tossing my controller all over my apartment in the process.

 

[Andrew.]

Thank god its coming out tomorrow, or rather less than six hours for you Steamers.

I think its funny/great how this thread has just been all over the place with various game discussion. Somehow all relating to TR.

So good.

I need a VPN so I can play Tomb Raider now :/ My FlyClient VPN, won't connect to Australia..

Is it just me or is Lara a fucking arsonist? Fire solves everything, EVERYTHING. Often she doesn't even know what she is doing "so... What now? Oh yeah, let me put even more fire under here to crash it all down so i can just on it!"

I've found this to be true in real life.

The challenges in Asylum had me doin that.

shoutouts to Utorrent ^_^. Hopefully that does not happen to me.

Uh, having a bittorrent client is not illegal or bannable...

Plenty of legit stuff uses bittorrent + stuff I cant get here for example.

How does it look on 360? Jaggy-fest, good enough, excelent...?

Looks brilliant to me (360 version)..the environments and weather effects are great i haven't noticed any jaggies..it's one of the best looking games i have seen on the console.

 

[mickcenary]

And Im the same way and I know exactly why.

I played them back to back. 1 first and then 2.

By 2 I was kind of burned out which dampened my enjoyment out of it.

I played it again over the summer and I still felt the same way.

For me it's 1>3>2

Fuck, you guys are gonna kill me...

Bend over, Andrew...

Seriously, though, I completely understand the 'being burnt out' and the 'over-familiarity' that you experienced with UC2; heck, I experienced it with TR thanks to the UC series and the last time I played any of them was when UC3 was released...

That being said, UC2 is the objectively better game on all accounts. Mechanically, it refined everything that was in UC1 and UC3 took that and more or less shat on all of it.

Now come on, that's not even remotely true... she also shoots.

Unfortunately you're objectively wrong. Fact. Good day, sir.

I liked these games back in the PSone days very much and i am actually interested in picking this up.


What version is better than the other? 360 or PS3

I own both but not really sure and it would save me some time .

I'd go with the Saturn version, personally.

Hey, do you want to protect her or not?

If you do then man up and be an arsonist for her.

Really enjoying the game so far. Graphics are pretty great and the atmosphere is really intense.

One thing the game does perfectly is the on-screen UI. There's no on-screen UI unless you need it. i.e. you draw the string of a bow back and your arrow count shows up in the corner of the screen.

This is definitely something I can respect. The less HUD elements the better, and preferably none at all.

Now if only we could disable XP pop-ups and the Survival Instinct icon.

 

[Andrew.]

Damn, they made a Tomb Raider for Saturn? Or is that a joke? Did they make one for Dreamcast too?

Serious questions.

And yes, the less crap there is on the screen the better.

I've heard TressFX actually looks good on that version.

Short story is we don't know for sure until the Digital Foundry comparison comes out. If you can wait until then, that's your best bet.

Long story, I spent a bunch of time over the weekend researching this since I wanted to put in a pre-order, and it seems that Crystal Dynamics handled the 360 version and Nixxes ported it to the PS3. However, Nixxes is damn good at what they do and in most of the Tomb Raider games they've ported in the past (Underworld etc.) the PS3 version actually looks sharper. However, the engine used in this version is not based on that old engine, but rather on the engine used in Deus Ex Human Revolution. In that game the two systems looked and performed almost identically, but the PS3 version was slightly sharper since it used MLAA, whereas the 360 version was slightly blurrier due to its use of FXAA. The 360 version did end up having less jaggies than the PS3 version though.

So like I said, wait for DF if you can. I'm personally getting the PS3 version because I would rather have a sharper image with a few jaggies here and there, rather than a slightly blurry image all the time with no jaggies.

It was an abomination.

 

[Dahbomb]

Uncharted 3 is the worst of the 3 UC games easily. First two is debatable as the focus is a bit different but UC2 is at the very least a respectable sequel.

To me UC games have always been 8/10 caliber games. Top level presentation but forgettable and easy mode game play.

 

[Andrew.]

Oh shit I remember that one...

 

[Broder Salsa]

I want to protect her, especially since this weird fat version of Vaas from far cry is in there

If I were a young, attractive and softly spoken British go-getter, I would not have a bar of this, holmes.

Your lucky day.

The characters in the Uncharted franchise and the casts acting ability along with the mo cap and facial animations make most forget about the throwaway and if i may be so bold, rudimentary gunplay. I had more fun taking guys on hand to hand and in UC3 thats practically what the devs were begging for you to do.

That goes without saying. UC is still the king in terms of presentation of cutscenes and set pieces which is why it gets respect from me. Its still a technical achievement not every game can emulate that without a big budget and its really only TR that has emulated that formula well. It should be noted that a UC caliber experience was not present on the PC or Xbox so for a lot of gamers this would be a new experience.

do you know the definition of insanity?

Great point. Never though of it like that.

 

[NJBorn]

apologies if this has been asked already, but when can we begin playing this game? I am CST

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Damn Vaas....

He's certainly been hitting the donut shops.

Who holds their hand out like that? lol

The first TR was released on PS and Saturn. After that Sony grabbed exclusivity until 2000.

I remember when I played the original Tomb Raider on the N-Gage.

Bad times.

Why do I have to wait for my game to unlock dammit.

Hey finally someone who gets it.

 

[mickcenary]

One thing that I did love about the game was the persistency of weapons. The bow, for example, becomes more than a weapon; it becomes your companion.

More games need to do this with their arsenals.

I will name my bow "Fletch". It will be the Wilsoooooooooooon! of videogames.

 

[DSN2K]

great Steam refusing to update the game past 98%..

 

[DukeBobby]

Indeed. =P

I was 12 years old, I didn't know any better.

I had it on the PS1 too, obviously.

 

[Thai]

A couple pics

TressFX looks kind of rough imo. And the bit where Lara was hanging. Her fringe was impervious to the effects of gravity. Not cool AMD

God her breasts are magnificent. I would motor boat them blood, mud and all.

 

[Andrew.]

Hey guys, what's going in this thread?

Her eyes alone melt me into an unidentifiable goo.
