Rise of the Tomb Raider coming to PC in early 2016

Sweet. Probably wont be getting it Day 1 since I'll be starting Dragon's Dogma, but I'll definitely be picking it up. Nearly everyone who has played it seems to really like it.

Thanks, good news about steam.

Is Win 10 only a terrible thing? I get that maybe people don't want to be forced onto that platform, but with it being free and assuming there aren't big problems I've not heard about then is there any reason not to upgrade?

Because if you use your pc for actual work and suddenly find that the software you use that is core to your work doesnt like windows 10 (with no real valid reason) regardless of compatability mode etc, then suddenly having a pc with 7 or 8.1 on it seems rather attractive.

At least 8.1 didn't completely screw up backwards compatibility.
 
Having recently been trying 10 upgrade out and rolling back to 7, I sure hope that DX11 is used properly as opposed to optimising it mainly for DX12 (assuming it uses it?).

Or DX12 comes to Windows 7...
 
Yes but that was all fine, zero issues with performance or anything of that nature. It's the new permissions for software and networking that is where the issue lies. Workarounds exist, but they fix one thing and break another. It's impossible to get the same network file browsing and software privilege level as it used to be on Windows 7/8.1 on 10.

Not everyone will have this issue as not everyone uses the PC the same way. But many of us do have it.
 
I'm sticking with windows 7 for the foreseeable future. Both this machine and my sons laptop were auto upgraded and both had problems after installing W10 so that they both needed formatting and W7 put back on. I'll be avoiding it for as long as possible, free upgrade or not.

Why didn't you just clean install Windows 10 if you were formatting them anyway? Most issues are caused by in-place upgrading, Windows 10 itself isn't at fault here.

Yup I agree, I would never go back to Win7 now, nothing wrong with 10 at all, I love it.

Back on topic, I've just started playing the 2013 version of Tomb Raider and it's great, loving the visuals and maxing it on my GTX 960. Reminds me a lot of Life is Strange, maybe because of Square Enix?
 
Windows has come a long way but to get the best experience out of any version of Windows you have to do a clean install. In-place upgrades tends to break something along the line. Still down to people not backing up their data on a regular basis and take the easy route to upgrade then wonder why somethings don't work as they should.

By the off chance the new Tomb Raider had a DX12 patch released in the future then you would want Windows 10 to get the best performance as possible as no other version of Windows will have DX12 support.

It reduces the chances of some issue somewhere, but most people are just fine with standard upgrading nowadays. Doing a clean install is extra hassle for potentially no actual reward.
