New Tomb Raider game

[JEST0r]

Got it early today. I have to say its in my top five of all time games it is that good. I wont ruin the plot but shooting and covering mechanics are fantastic and I really connected to Lara. Played it for about 4 hours now and found 2 tombs. Graphics fantastic playing it on a PS3 but will give it back to my boss tommorrow and get PC version and play it Tuesday. Its going to be a 9 out of 10 for me any of you guys not to sure trust me its not like the Tomb Raider of old, its far better.

Im hoping i get this on Saturday from SHOPTO . Last game i pre-ordered that came out on a Tuesday was Hitman absolution, which i got on a Saturday. It looks great can't wait to play it.

The gameinformer video convinced me to get this - used my $20 credit from my Dead Space 3 preorder at Amazon so $43 shipped!!!

Anyone hear if the PS3 or 360 is preferred for one reason or another?

This one?

Yes that one!

I love the laser etched stuff on it and especially the color! I just got two of them from my local gamestop. It pays off to be to be a regular there since the manager knew I wanted it. I called today and both employees said that they haven't seen it yet and claimed they were both getting it because the boss said yes. I was so bummed out, but later received a text message from an unknown number to pick up the controllers.

When I got there, the manager went to the back, brought them out, jumped me infront of the line and ringed me up.

"Wait! I thought those were ours?"

"Sorry VIP customers first."

That controller does look sweet. Bestbuy is actually running a deal when you buy Tomb Raider and the controller you save I think 10 bucks.

I can not wait to play this. Sadly, my work schedule next week is all kinds of crazy and I probably won't get much of a chance until the weekend.

Same here. Get off work come home and then only have a few hours before I need sleep since I get up so early for work . I'll probably play it for a couple of hours this coming week, but save most of my time for the weekend so I can actually sink some time into it.

seems like the PS3 version looks a little better. I haven't seen any framerate comparisons yet.

There's a good freeze frame showing the level of detail at 1:08.

PS3 it most definitely it is. Cannot wait. I know it has been said before, but I wish they included the steel book in the darn special edition!!!!!!

PS3 version has the RGB full settings enabled for that CVG comparision . This enhances blacks, colors, detail, contours, and IQ especially in some games like RE6 or this TR (not all PS3 games are affected in the same way).. Neverthless, if you turn it to limited RGB, then, the game look a little more washed and more clear than the 360 version. (different default gamma settings as many multiplattform games)

In the other hand, I ended up playing the PS3 version with RGB limited settings ...(and just adjusting the TV values) because black levels are too high and is very anoying playing on RGB full , specially in dark/night stages

About FR performance, both versions run fluid and smoth.. however the PS3 version has more FR issues and pronounced FR drops (at least the review build I get had this FR issues )
The cinematic intro has a little better quality on PS3, Thanks to the BR capacity Btw


Edit: I have been reviewing this game for a local magazine last week, and just can say that TR is a GREAT and Gorgeus game on both consoles (can't wait to try the PC version with improvements )

I did this comparision video a couple days ago (PS3 has RGB FULL enabled, and 360 HDMI intermediate range settings)

Thanks for that! Thanks for your thoughts as well, Valvoliner!

Thanks for that video Valvoliner. I think the PS3 looks a bit better...though both look great. I think I preordered this for the PS3 due to the recommendation of the folks at Gamestop. I'll keep it as it is...though I do end up playing more games on 360 and prefer that controller.

 

[nash]

which preorder bonus did you guys go for?

 

[Project_A]

PS3- Collectors Editon-Amazon.

I was going to go for the PS3 version since I prefer to buy games for that system over my 360 but ever since I heard that the 360 was the lead platform for this game I changed my preorder.

Anyway I'm going to keep my 360 PO because I want to play the game on the limited edition controller and I don't think they have a ps3 version of it.

I changed my PO for the collectors edition from Gamestop to Amazon, because I want the art book.

Is the SQuare Lara out yet? Cant wait for that.

 

[Project_A]

My flatmate got the Tomb Raider Survival Kit with the Play Arts Kai Lara figure, and she looks amazing. The game is pretty damn great too.
