Might replay some day. A little surprised Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut wasn't held for PS4/XB1 as well.

I was honestly hoping for a Wii U version. :(

Oh well. I'll buy a PS4 and this game will be one of the first ones I get for it. Loved playing the PS3 version, never got to buy it though. :)

I'm personally interested in the ensuing comparisons to the PC version. Would be a bit silly if a 7770-7790 can still be competitive in multi-plats.

"Defnitive Edition"
What so "definitive" about it?

Resolution, framerate and effects? I thought Tomb Raider was absolutely gorgeous on PC, so I think new console owners deserve this. Bioshock Infinite and the Crysis trilogy are other good candidates IMO.
 
I'll pick this up if it's 1080p60 or 1080p30 with tresFX.

Assuming it's priced accordingly of course. SE probably thinks they can charge $60 because there's no games on either console coming out.
 
I was so attempted to impulse-buy it when Amazon was selling it for only $15. Then I thought, Tomb Raider is a game that will likely come to PS+, and if not I can still buy it later when it drops to that price or lower again. I had no clue a PS4 edition was in the works. Glad I held off.

TressFX is AMD tech, and I believe TressFX 2.0 has been optimised for Mantle. Mantle aims to bring console-like optimisation over to PC AMD GPUs. Ergo, I suspect AMD tech will perform really rather well on both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, as both are using AMD technology.

Hard to get excited for this. I have it on the PC and could not bring myself to finish it. It is so soulless. Far Cry 3 is the better game with similar ideas. If you are going to have crappy chars and a bad story, don't take yourself seriously.

I always said TR took the worst from FC3 and the worst from Uncharted and made a game from it.

But TressFX doesn't even perform that well in the PC version of Tomb Raider.

I do wonder if maybe they'd add like a single player DLC chapter?

Or is just the terrible multiplayer maps?

I played it on PC so I'm hoping they are offering something definitive.
 
59.99
Game will include MP DLC and preorder bonuses (Costumes and 1 tomb)
1080p, 60fps

Definitive my ass.

I'll wait for it to bargain bin
 
Awesome news! One of my favourite games this year and I actually think it stands up next to the lesser Uncharted games (1 & 3). I'll be there day one if this is hitting late January as I doubt their'll be much else out I'm into on PS4 until Infamous in March.

This is awesome news! Will definitely buy the PS4 version.

Now, if only Arkham Origins also got a PS4 port...

All I got for the Vernal Equinox was this stupid tag
Loved this game and no longer own a physical copy of it (played through it on 360 but sold it and most of my 360 collection off later on), but even though I got it again on PC from a Steam sale very cheap, I'd still be tempted to get this. Just not sure if I'd be willing to shell out sixty bucks for it again, especially if there's no new content being added. Multiplayer was pretty forgettable, too.

I know, but I'm sure they'll spend time optimising it for the console build, or just replace it with TressFX 2.0, which was announced recently.

I don't know about that.
But one can defiantly compare it it woman's tennis or porn.

Not anymore than Nate's grunts and moans in Uncharted sound like porn TBH. People keep saying it sounds like porn just because it's a woman making these sounds.

Any rumors of Bioshock Infinite being ported? That'd be another game I'd like to play on PS4 since I didn't get it last gen.

I've only see the GB quick look as far as TressFX goes, but isn't it kinda "eeeh not that great" seemed to make hair go stupid in cutscenes

will be hilarious (and sad) if they release it for full price
 
They should add a new epilogue chapter that bridges the end of this game with the start of the next one. Scarier and darker and more messed up next one.

*fingers crossed*

Played the PC version maxed out. Will it be more definitive than that?

Can't wait for that definitive 60$. Again.

Me too, I don't think it will look better than that.

No way this will be 1080p60 with everything maxed out, using tressfx, I'd be amazed if they can keep it locked to 30fps.

The thing i'm most excited about in this image is that we get some news on some new GTA5 content today. Heck yea.
the picture down right?
that's their goty nominees

edit: duh I'm blind, I see what you mean now
 
Clever release, cheap to up-port and many will jump in due to the typical new-gen Jan/Feb drought.

Now, if only Rockstar announced GTAV for PS4/XB1.. I skipped it hoping for a next-gen release, but it looks like it may never happen :(

If Square Enix releases this at $60 . . .

$40 would be so much more reasonable, hell $30 really, but I'm not delusional. These games drop like a rock in price too and quick. So Square Enix will reap what they sow, if they they fuck up the initial pricing.

Would pay a $10 dollar upgrade for this, otherwise I'll pass. No burning desire to play through it again for full price

This is so exciting to me. I have bought and played it on PC and PS3, and I will most likely buy it on day one for the PS4. Tomb Raider is one of my top five of the entire generation, and neck and neck with The Last of Us for game of the year.
