[Panda Rin]

Ready for the weekend to finally be here.

Pretty hyped considering I loved the TR2013

 

[ciddative]

it's probably way better on PC

Probably? Videos and reports indicate it's better in literally every way.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

I don't wanna hijack the thread but there's no new word on a PS4 release right?

 

[LowParry]

I don't wanna hijack the thread but there's no new word on a PS4 release right?

End of the year.

 

[Jesb]

I'm ready for this. Pre loading now. Managed to snag a copy for $20.

 

[JambiBum]

This isn't releasing at midnight est is it? Steam timer has it releasing at noon tomorrow

 

[dmr87]

Nothing yet.

 

[QuantumSquid]

You guys think a GTX 750Ti can run this game at medium settings and about 60fps at 1080p?

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Hmmm... not sure. DF said that at Xbox One equivalent settings their 750Ti was handing in like 13-25fps. :/

 

[Corpekata]

No.

 

[Nere]

How well do you think a laptop with the 970m can run it? I can run the witcher 3 on ultra high with 35-40 fps.

 

[benzy]

 

[Garrett Hawke]

bruh

 

[Gormenghast]

As expected console ports require more powerful PC hardware as months pass.

If a year ago you could double a console fps using a GTX 770, now you need a 970. And it's only 1-2 years. And if you wanted parity with console you needed a 750 ti, now you need a 960, that on its own is 75% of the cost of a whole console.

Wait another 1-2 years and the 970 matched with a i7 at 3+ Ghz will be required for simple parity with console.

 

[Slackbladder]

Well, UK time is 5pm judging by Steam. Technically you'll be getting it earlier than us if you do get it at noon!

I doubt it.

 

[Movalpolos]

Enjoy the terrible inner monologues at campfires.
Hopefully the PC version isn't afflicted with that input lag. Having responsive controls might have almost made the game worth it.

That's not what is happening here. This game is less a port and more a remaster.

Maybe look at the comparisons and see that it's not just doubling FPS of the console version, but a version with much superior graphical features.

but

The Xbox One version of the game was clearly optimised to operate at its best on a closed platform and as such, it's not actually possible to fully duplicate console settings here. The closest match requires a meaty system to get the job done - an i5 quad with something along the lines of a GTX 960 to hit 1080p30 on high settings.

First and foremost, the venerable DF budget PC with an i3 processor and GTX 750 Ti finally met its match with Rise of the Tomb Raider. Running with settings similar to Xbox One, we found that testing areas saw the game turn in frame-rates between 13 and 25fps

 

[Vuze]

but

Isn't 960 basically equivalent in terms of GPU power to the current gen consoles? Which current gen game on PC outperforms it's console counterpart on matching settings using a 750 Ti? I'm not following

Looks... Hot :^)

 

[QuantumSquid]

Hmmm... not sure. DF said that at Xbox One equivalent settings their 750Ti was handing in like 13-25fps. :/

Xbox One settings are a mix of High, Medium, and Low. I'm talking *all* Medium-Low settings.

At any rate, the 750Ti is above the minimum requirement by a bit, so it can definitely run it. The question is, how low will I need to go for that magical 60fps?

Most multiplatform games, so far.
But in this game, it's definitely not looking good for the budget PC. It's either the vram requirements are high, or just not really a good port.

Not a chance.

 

[Spinifex]

or just not really a good port.

I'm having to ask myself some hard questions re: that assertion. Nixxes have an extremely good reputation, their past ports were amazingly well optimized. I can't imagine what's different this time around.

 

[texhnolyze]

Perhaps the culprit is indeed the vram requirements. I heard the consoles have up to 8gb of vram or something like that.

High textures are xb1 textures. I presume they do not fair as well with less than 3 GB of VRAM. Then again, I am not positive.
Have there been reports of how 2GB cards fair on high textures?

 

[CambriaRising]

Do the nVidia codes give you the preorder bonuses?

... After some patching, their ports are always good. They have a track record of some issues on day 1.

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

This, friends, is the finest looking game of the generation.

 

[leng jai]

Lunaniem in the BST thread is selling $20 steam keys for anyone who is interested. just got one myself

Thanks for the heads up, got one off him without a sweat and preloading now. Time to rambo through it this time since there's no input lag and 60fps.

 

[tensuke]

Do the nVidia codes give you the preorder bonuses?

I don't think so. The MGSV code didn't give GZ, for example.

 

[Crossing Eden]

Holy.Fucking.Shit. O.O

Also lol at the character portraits.

 

[Flandy]

I think Austin Walker as Jonah could have worked. It's all about the beard.

Was thinking the same thing.

woah that looks great! Is the outfit apart of the story or are their optional outfits you can equip?

 

[Toa TAK]

You get optional outfits throughout the game.

Man this game looks great.

 

[johnnydrama]

Holy shit at those screenshots. We are looking at possibly the best looking game of this gen so far.

 

[nextgeneration]

Are those screenshots from in-game? Damn!

 

[Spinifex]

... After some patching, their ports are always good. They have a track record of some issues on day 1.

I don't remember any issues from previous games, but I'll take your word for it. I'm still hyped as hell to play this.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

It absolutely is, no question imo.

 

[Soi-Fong]

It absolutely is, no question imo.

I'm excited as hell too, and cannot wait for midnight, but from what I'm seeing, it's not better than The Order 1886. That's still the best looking game this generation.

 

[Arondight]

Wow, looks stunning, Might actually get the game. Costume actually looks really great in it's own way unlike that horrible tank top.

 

[johnnydrama]

I'm excited as hell too, and cannot wait for midnight, but from what I'm seeing, it's not better than The Order 1886. That's still the best looking game this generation.

Well, this is a far more open game.

 

[InfiniteCombo]

Awesome OT. I can't stop laughing at the character portraits. My sides...

Well done, Garrett!

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

The Order is way too murky to hold that title. AF is not where it needed to be either.

OT: Didn't think I'd be joining the fray for a while, but just got a code from the BTS thread, so ... I'm in? lol

 

[Shang]

Probably? Videos and reports indicate it's better in literally every way.

Haven't been keeping up. Good to hear, but at the same time disappointed that I didn't wait for PC. Ah, well.

 

[Radec]

I wonder if my amd 270x can handle this game fine one medium settings..

 

[JustinBB7]

Nice, didn't know pre-load was up. Doing that now, ready for tomorrow. Going in pretty fresh, haven't seen much. Tomb Raider 2013 was a sleeper hit for me, really really enjoyed it. Can't wait to play this one.

 

[FLAguy954]

Someone make a new thread, the DF comparision is up.

 

[GavinUK86]

Someone make a new thread, the DF comparision is up.

Someone did about 10 hours ago.

Where did the "hello it's me" title come from?

 

[Soi-Fong]

There any way to play this earlier??!! lol

 

[Radec]

There any way to play this earlier??!! lol
