Just now?

JohnnyFootball · Dec 21, 2015

Yes!

Great game so far!

BigTnaples · Dec 21, 2015

Cool might download it.

Part of me just wants to wait it out and go into the PS4 version or PC version blind though.

Loved the DE and haven't followed much of Rise.

Justinh · Dec 21, 2015

Hopefully it gets some people to try out the game. I thought it was fantastic.

Bgamer90 · Dec 21, 2015

I remember MS doing this last year for Sunset Overdrive. Anyone know how long the trial is?

dEvAnGeL · Dec 21, 2015

In before "MS is desperate"

TheSpecialOne · Dec 21, 2015

This is surprising? Didn't they mention that they were pleased with it's performance?

etta · Dec 21, 2015

This is perfect, I need to test the input lag issue, it was the only thing making me hesitant to get the game.

Garrett Hawke · Dec 21, 2015

Try it then buy it! Absolutely fantastic game, improves on TR2013 in just about every single way and is gorgeous to boot. My XB1 GOTY.

It's definitely there, but my suspicion with most folks is that they have their TVs set up like shit as well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNDWExzLxbQ That's what I had when playing it, basically imperceptible, but I've played it on a friend's tv and felt like I couldn't hit anything, so who the fuck knows. On mine I can easily just rack off a headshot like in any other game.

Apathy · Dec 21, 2015

Seems like something a smart marketing department would have asked for before or right at release to properly advertise a new game.

statham · Dec 21, 2015

game looks amazing on XBO, and 1080p for the few that care.

and Hulu has a good ad for this before certain shows.

etta · Dec 21, 2015

Oh god, the trial makes you download the whole game.
21GB.

Yea, but I had issues aiming in DE as well, and that's on the same setup.

It's definitely there.....and gets worse when I move from my mx279h(9ms) to my 60 inch.....for obvious reasons....but it sucks playing it on the big screen compared to other shooters that are tolerable.

at least it's not 50GB

SenjutsuSage · Dec 21, 2015

Awesome. Haven't had a chance to pick this one up, but the demo will hold me over till then.

JDHarbs · Dec 21, 2015

Can't wait to try this out. I enjoyed TR2013 and heard good things about this one.

Just waiting for the PC release now.

Surface of Me · Dec 21, 2015

Ooh nice, gonna download.

Wasp · Dec 21, 2015

Awesome, this means I won't have to wait for the game to install on Christmas morning when I get the disc version.

Good point.

DocSeuss · Dec 21, 2015

Do Xbox One demos work at all like some of the XBLA demos used to, where you'd just pay to unlock? Or is it gonna be like the stupid "yeah you downloaded a bajillion gigabytes, now go download more."

I was wondering if this would work. But also equally wondering if it would somehow mess shit up haha

It worked last year with Sunset Overdrive, popped the disc in and could play straight away.

modalife · Dec 21, 2015

21GB? No, thanks.

Good news for those who wanted to play it.

Ryaaan14 · Dec 21, 2015

They don't often do this for games well after the release date do they?

ElBoxyBrown · Dec 21, 2015

If you liked TR2013 then there's a 95% chance you'll like this. The other 5% will be nullified with the demo.

Banjo-Kazooie · Dec 21, 2015

Anyone expecting this game for XMAS could basically use this as a pre-load too

yes it will work, only one or two games do not because they have weird versions but I forget what games exactly.

Repent for thy blasphemous ignorance of the holy pixels, you heretic!

Noobcraft · Dec 21, 2015

It's an awesome game. Definitely worth a try at the very least.

Chris1 · Dec 21, 2015

How long is the demo?

freefornow said:

Nah SO was free to play for an entire day so you could complete it if you played long enough that day, I don't think this is the same thing.

DOWN · Dec 21, 2015

Please be excited

I'll play this even though I wont buy multiplat on Xbox One

N00b Saibot · Dec 21, 2015

How are the visuals ?

From my watching of the game: Amazing artistically. Graphically- Great for cross gen thanks to some lens flare and foliage evening out the the weaknesses

Noobcraft · Dec 21, 2015

N00b Saibot said:

I've taken a few screenshots which can be found here: http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Mr Noobcraft/screenshots/1046363979

At times it looks ridiculously good but at others it just looks OK. Interiors/caves look awesome, the outdoors environments are less pretty.

FATALITY · Dec 21, 2015

instead of a demo they just should release pc and ps4 version as soon as possible. because next year will be a nightmare to sell this game

Crazy, full game or something?

Yeah the full game is 20.8GB

What a thoughtful and intelligent addition to any discussion about this game.

Savitar · Dec 21, 2015

I wonder if more people will have this on their system than the actual game.

*Microsoft Suit looks at sales numbers for ROTR*

"Guy's this is really a good game, seriously this time. Please buy it! Look, try it at least!"

KingCookie5 · Dec 21, 2015

Just put the game in on Saturday and played all evening. I've been caught up with FO4 and Seige but must say I am really enjoying Tomb Raider! I'd recommend it to anyone who was a fan of the first

I still gotta play the first >.<. I have it, just haven't gotten around to it

Prologue · Dec 21, 2015

Well that demo certainly made my hands sweaty. Guess I have to play the first one now lol. I was surprised I was able to play it so soon after downloading. Were all the textures/graphic effects downloaded when I was playing?

ROUGE_BLOCK · Dec 21, 2015

Ah yeah I will get on this and see how it is!
