Interesting. I'd only actually read the Eurogamer review and found it to be a pretty lukewarm response.

Destructoid is very lukewarm as well (from the ones i've looked at) - however I'm with Myp - I'll pick this up for the PS4 when its released.

Yeah, I was about to say exactly that. I'll still buy it (next Christmas) and enjoy the shit out of it as I loved the last one but I was a bit disappointed by the EG review.

Yeah, you're probably right. I've got Halo 5 and Batman to do first so they'll take me well into 2016.

I think this just looks terrific. I played a level at EGX and it was very nice. Shame I've got to wait but I ain't buying a XB1 just to play it early. Mind you, Halo looks good too. And. Um. Er. Yeah, I'll wait.

JohnCoffey · **Posted:** Mon Nov 09, 2015 23:43

The last one really took me by surprise I thought it was absolutely fantastic. First TR game I had ever played too. Really looking forward to the next one

APPARENTLY, this might be coming to PC on 29 January 2016.

http://m.uk.ign.com/articles/2015/12/14 ... in-january

I'll be picking it up if it does. PC + PS4 + WiiU pretty much covers all gaming angles these days.

Turns out, if anyone really wanted to play Rise of The Tomb Raider but doesn't want to buy an xbone you could always pick up the Xbox 360 version which runs pretty darn well.

Mind you, Tomb Raider Reboot was bloody lovely on 360 anyway. I'll wait for the PC version but the option is there to those who might be upset they won't get to play it on PS4 for 12 months.

PC Release Date: 28 January 2016!

There also is quite a bit of speculation that its going to be part of some graphics card bundles which normally means that you should be able to pick up steam codes for it cheaply - cdkeys have it for £21 right now (and another £1.05 off for their facebook code)

There's also some junk out there that sez "PC iz betterer than the Xbone" for like graphics, resolution and FMAA12 and anti-scaling.

That's no great shock, the PS2 version would look better than the bone most likely.

Sorry dude, I'm sure 720/900p is fine and acceptable to most people. It just makes my eyes bleed these days. If I wanted 720p I'd turn on the PS3.

TheVision · **Posted:** Tue Jan 05, 2016 20:02

That's fair enough. I still think it looks great but then again, I played Killer Instinct on the Gameboy the other day and thought that looked great too.

I think I must appreciate them on different levels to you.

Yeah if it helps you enjoy your inferior console more you can pretend I only play games for the graphics, that's fine.

Oh not at all. I'm sure we both enjoy our respective consoles as much as each other. :metul:

When actual Myp isn't near enough for you to gaze upon his real face, bang it into your post so you can look at it there.

My lady is buying me this for my birthday. I'm very happy and excited, given how absolutely fucking MINT the first one turned out to be*

I've seen some screenshots of this at 4k and it's absolutely mind blowing. Really, very excited.

*All apart from that bit where you are in the rapids and have to dodge things. Totally trial and error and I got somewhat annoyed at it.

When you think you're in the "pictures of Myp" thread. This is a most disturbing post.

The rapids bit on the 360 gave you just enough of a warning to get through it , the bit i did not like was the tacked on multiplayer stuff - I may pick up the PC version if the PS4 one really is delayed until the end of the year.
