Tomb Raider

[Cube]

Is any if the DLC story related?

 

Apart from a small tomb (which was a pre-order thing), all the DLC was for the rubbish multiplayer mode.

I wanted to get this get but not anymore becuse it's not comeing to Wii U

 

Wait Wait Wait... you want to get this, but because its not coming to Wii U, you aren't interested in it anymore.

 

You have a PS3 and PS4 for god sake! BUY IT!

[Shorty]

To be fair, the Wii U is going to add more to this game than a graphic bump which is essentially going to make it the PC version.

Just curious, what exactly would it add? Off-TV play?

 

He can do that with his PS4 with the Vita.

It's not coming to the Wii U though so the decision is made for you.

If it was on Wii U you would also lose online multiplayer, because online multiplayer requires more than one person to own the game.

Yeah because so far that feature is getting great feedback :/

 

I actually meant things along the lines of map/inventory management and touchscreen QTEs. But it's all irrelevant anyway since evidently I misread canand's post in the first place...

But you lost the online multiplayer on all other platforms, as online multiplayer requires more than one person to touch that mode

I like the new face model and the new lighting.

The multiplayer on Tomb Raider was great fun, what is with you people

[Cube]

Out of interest, have you played Uncharted's multiplayer?

[Shorty]

I did. The awesome Uncharted 2 multiplayer and the less-than-stellar follow-up. I didn't say Tomb Raider was the best in its class, doesn't mean I didn't have a lot of fun on it. The maps were great, all the game modes were all varied and good fun.

 

I think if you go in with the attitude of "if it's not as good as one of the best games I've ever played, I won't enjoy it", then you might just miss out on a lot of great game experiences.

I'm considering picking this up, using the points i have stored on a certain store card combined with a few trade-ins. Wouldn't mind re-playing this on the PS4, but the price is still something i wouldn't be happy about paying if i were going into a shop to pick it up knowing i've already played it last-gen.

[S.C.G]

I bought the original on the 360 when it was around £20... it's still sealed on my shelf. :p

 

Tempted to instead sell that copy and buy the definitive version on PS4 but obviously I wouldn't want to pay full price for it but damn that difference in detail is undeniable.

Yeah constantly tempted to buy the PS3 version, especially being £9.99 on Gamestop recently, but I'm gonna hold out for the PS4 version!

 

Not having played it, it's somewhat of a system seller for me. And when ever I get around to getting a PS4 it will no doubt have dropped massively in price.

[Sméagol]

It´s annoying because I wanted to get Tomb raider (for PC) eventually, but this definitive version makes me reconsider. I don't now if I should get it, or wait until they change their minds and do release a PC version. Tomb raider was already looking good, but that definitive version is definitely looking better.

[Shorty]

Err... do you mean some kind of DLC-included PC version? Because it's not really worth it to wait for that, the DLC is average. The PC version already has better visuals than the PS4/X1 version will.

[Happenstance]

To be fair the PS4/Xbox One version have had actual work done on them so I don't know how you can say the PC version is already better. There's a reason there are petitions going around to get the Definitive Version released on PC as well.

[Murr]

I got the 360 version for Christmas and completed it 2 nights ago, really really enjoyed it. Alot better than I had expected, so was a nice surprise.

 

I'd definitely consider double dipping and picking this up for the PS4, but i'd wait a little while for the price to drop, plus got a rather huge backlog to get through after Christmas. (Hitman Absolution is next)

[Shorty]

I don't know how you can say the PC version is already better.

Well, because they already patched the PC version to have better models and graphics a while ago, and the 'Definitive edition' is going to be limited to 30fps.

[Sméagol]

Ehm, I´m skimming the patch notes, and I see no mention of improved models. And they´re constantly mentioning the improved models are a feature of the definitive version, so I have no idea what you´re talking about.

[Shorty]

Alright I misread something, my mistake. But apart from the re-model, tressfx and particle effects are in the PC version already, they might've been redone but that doesn't really justify its re-release to me. Plus the PC version runs at whatever resolution and FPS you can handle.

 

I'm not saying this as some PC Master Race thing, I don't even have a powerful PC myself and I own Tomb Raider on Xbox 360, I just think they should've done a lot more for this title to justify a new "definitive edition" instead of focusing on some DLC or such.

[Sméagol]

Yeah but greater resolutions won´t magically improve your models.

 

And perhaps you´re right, maybe it doesn´t justify a re-release in itself, but for someone who doesn´t own the game yet, it´s obviously the version to get. At least, if they´ll release it. There is also no reason why they can´t offer the definitive version for a reasonable upgrade price to people who already own the game. I already owned Deus Ex human revolution, but I bought the upgrade to the director´s cut for 4 euros a few days ago. Both Square Enix, so this idea isn´t that farfetched actually.

[Sheikah]

They've improved the models in the definitive version over PC, but PC will probably be better in other areas like framerate.
