Good question. Perhaps they are streaming an older version with an older menu. Or the options are OFF, ON (their solution), and HBAO+

They better not have taken out HBAO+ or else there will be blood.

The settings of the PC build the press played a few weeks ago looked more complete :

I am still not 100% used to the Dualshock's button layout. :(

Whenever I play a game with QTE prompts I often press the wrong button because of that.

You can clearly see the arrows to the left and right are white in those settings while in your old shot the arrow on the right is grey.. This guy just is not turning up the settings all the way. Ambient Occlusion is probably off on HBAO+. On is probably the same as their custom AO for Xbox One.

Yep. AO seems to be Off -> On -> HBAO+

Yup.

edit - Confirmed SLI support.

Max preset. Goes up to very high. Shadow Quality and Sun Soft Shadows can still go up one more. FXAA, SSAA2x and SSAA4x antialiasing and double and triple buffered vsync available.
24hz LOL
. 144hz and ultra wide resolutions should work but they haven't tried it.

Glad to see 24hz, the true cinematic experience.

Hum, "Purehair" has a very high setting.....
The "on" is what is used on xbone I suppose, and I also suppose the higher echelon is very expensive.

I never messed with it, but what is/are the differences between fullscreen and the exclusive fullscreen?

Game is looking good but why is her hair so......flowy? It's like it's full of helium or something with how it seems to just move around without gravity really affecting it or any wind.

It looks really dreadful at low settings, I have not looked closely at the 360 version but at first glance it's rather similar.
Which is good news of course, those with entry level stuff will get to play it.

Fuck, no 3D? Well, I suppose they could've fixed the problem shaders anyway, and simply left it out of the menu to save having to thoroughly test it, or offer proper support, but...chances are I'll have to play in 2D on a first run, fuck.

Just did a second playthrough of TR2013 last week, in 1440p 3D and it was glorious.

just bought a evea ftw 970 and got the game free with it. I was able to preload it on steam, so you guys are saying it won't be available at midnight?

The Steam page says 1 day and 10 hours for me, so probably not unfortunately.

Huh, strange, the countdown on their official tumblr ends at midnight (at least in my timezone, I'm assuming it adjusts itself to whatever timezone you're in). But maybe that's just counting down to the day of release, rather than the Steam unlock?

nVidia's 3D Vision glasses? I wanted to try those. But with VR coming I don't see the point in spending the money.
Last time I saw 3D gaming was way back with some utter shit 'eDimensional' shutter glasses. Must of been around 2004 or 2005.

I think at that res, that must be what he's using. I had to settle for standard 3DTV Play which is 720p60 but with 4XSSAA it still looked pretty nice. And as I said, the 3D was just amazing.

Just got email from cdkeys.com that my RoTR preorder key is available.
Will preload when I get from work. Yay! \o/

So they are pretty reliable then? 38 bucks for a Steam code, I will jump on that if they are legit.


Such a sketchy name for a game sale website though!

Apparently you can use the PPID + SN from any GTX970 or GTX980 no matter what region you bought it in, as long as you select one of the Asia regions in the drop down box. Works even if your card came with a game originally. You can do that to get Rise of the Tomb Raider for free.

I bet they'll fix that loophole.

Even from a non ASUS 970?
