So glad this is a great port. I played and love the X1 version. I'll probably end up going through the whole game again. It looks so great.
Bonus, cross post from the screen shot thread.

It is showing 10% for me on Steam. Brazilian store, though.
Edit: Also, the "Day 1 Edition" has the pre order content. WTF.
The pre-order subs didn't have a 10% discount, though, which is what he asked. They were pulled from the store when the game unlocked.
Oh thanks for reminding me of the the thread again! Posted my favourite 4 so far. But I'm going to play the game now.Them screensPost 'em in the PC Screen Thread ASAP!

Oh yeah, sorry. I meant to quote him:
The people who are buying now are getting the discount and the cosmetic stuff.
Just Baba Yaga I'm afraid.

I love it tbh
Also how are people getting a "stable" 1080/60 on max on a 970? I'm running a mix of high + very high and had to use my monitor's 50Hz mode for stability.
They probably have not gotten to more intensive areas yet. What settings did you turn down? Dynamic foliage to medium, shadow quality high, and tessellation off should be a big help.

The first part isn't anything at all and many people will probably be fine there. Later is when the shit can get rough.
Anyone able to get onto https://redeem.geforce.com/?

I'm already in love with the game!
what specs are u running this game? this looks amazing, almost bullshot quality
I have an i7 6700 with 16gb DDR4 and a EVGA SC+ (not even sure if this "super clocked" thing makes any real difference from the stock model) GTX 970.
And it actually stays pretty much at 60 when I'm just exploring. It's closer to 50 when there's a lot of action going on.
It only drops into the mid 40s on some extreme close ups of multiple people with hair like that London scene with Lara and Ana, but that's because I have hair maxed out too lol.
I shat a lot on TR13 but the opening sequences here are much better already. The lack of QTE's during action sequences is a big step in the right direction.
Maybe CD will find their way back to more exploration and puzzle solving after all.
The story still seems a bit eh though.

Ahhh so jealous of you guys. These picks look incredible. Making me want to replay it again haha...
I think you will be pleasantly surprised then. At least going off your early impressions

Screen effects puts some really ugly film grain.

Thanks for posting.

I've put shadow quality to high, but I've left tesselation on and I really wanted Very High PureHair
so I've locked it to 50 and it seems ok now.Yeah, it was fine there but the London cutscene was a proper GPU stress test
Interesting... I have an i5 4590 (but CPU isn't a problem, checked utilisation) and 8GB DDR3. Maybe that makes a difference.

Oh man, I can't wait to get home tonight and play this until my eyes bleed from exhaustion. I really, really enjoyed the Tomb Raider reboot - so much so that I completed it twice ( once on PC and once on PS4 ). It is, by far, my favorite 3rd Person Adventure / Action game, along with Uncharted 2, and I am excited to see if Rise of the Tomb Raider lives up to par.

I played it on XBO and I will say that Survivor will make you fucking cry in frustration at the very end. Even on normal I wanted to shoot myself near the end.
Cool, I'll save the $20 then. Thanks
The last part is Horde mode with co-op if the leak is to be believed...very disappointing season pass IMO apart from the story DLC
Great screens, Faith.
For those wondering about the story, it's MUCH more toned down from the previous game. Not many action-running sequences compared to the last game.
EDIT: Also, everyone should play this on Survivor. It's fucking easy.

My man.

So, thinking about picking up this amazing game on PC so I can play it with all the bells and whistles (and no input lag). While I've played a significant portion on Xbone, I haven't finished the game, I'm curious from anyone who has finished it on Xbone how much game I have left ahead of me.

I'm currently at the spot right after Jonah is shot by Constantine and then healed by the Prophet dude. I'm about to enter the passage that opens up right after that happens. How much core story is left at this point?
It is a big step in the right direction. There are far fewer slow mo and QTE moments and the setpieces require you to use your platforming skills. The combat also felt better paced throughout. The main story features 3 larger tomb/ruin environments and there are more puzzles spread throughout the campaign. The optional tombs are much better too. None of the puzzles are too difficult but the were all fun to solve and are almost all an improvement on the reboot both in puzzle design and environments.

Returns a server error.

Well that convinced me.
You still have a little but more to go, you're just barely entering the 3rd act.

Did you play Tomb Raider 2013?
If not and you don't like it I hope you bought it directly from Steam
How far are you? The intro is really the only area with them.

There's very little of that after the first hour.
Here are some uncompressed 4K screenshots from first hour of gameplay. Everything is turned up to very high except AA and motion blur
Graphic is absolutely beautiful. It's on par with Star Wars Battlefront. One wouldn't believe that this was originally on Xbox One. Nixxes are fucking porting wizards!

QTE's are terrible, I cant believe they kept them with this game.
Start game "Press X to not die" ok...press x
Then jump to a horizontal pole - no QTE prompt...ok no X needed. Fall to death.
When you die multiple times on an intro level, perhaps your systems suck?
I had so much respect for proj red when they patched witcher 2 to remove the annoying QTE
