That unfortunately doesn't stop games being released that are broken or plagued with bugs that then require patches to fix in subsequent weeks/months.

No it doesn't but that has nothing to do with preorders.

man, just saw the steam price. 40 quid!

Defo be getting it from a key site. Also the digital deluxe edition is 60 quid! what on earth do you get for that, a lifesize Lara figure?

Skeeter · 6 Jan 2016 at 17:09

Cheapest key site for this at the moment?

Midlife Crisis · 6 Jan 2016 at 17:12

It includes the season pass which is 20 quid on its own, but yeah I wouldn't pay the RRP price for either.

Interestingly I've just noticed that the description for the season pass says it gives access to "nearly all current and future DLC". Not all, just 'nearly' all...

This looks really good, decent key prices too. Will wait to see that it runs ok on similar rigs before purchasing.

Wasn't the dlc for the first game a bit crap? Think i'll just get the main game for now and see what the dlc is.

I hate the idea of DLCs and will not be buying the season pass base don that principle. If it turns out to be amazing and offers much more to the story then maybe, but at reduced key cost as that will offset against the low key cost for the main game tallying up to a total cost of a new game RRP anyway.

I'm sure the first games DLC was all multiplayer extras or cosmetic. None of it enhanced or added to the storyline.

Skeeter · 7 Jan 2016 at 01:33

Yep, the DLC was all MP, and that part of the game was outsourced to a different developer too.

JulioH · 7 Jan 2016 at 01:38

The DLC doesn't sound worth it for this one either.

Three major releases will challenge you to survive the extreme conditions of Endurance Mode, explore a new tomb that houses an ancient terror in Baba Yaga: The Temple of the Witch, and combat waves of infected predators in Cold Darkness Awakened. In addition, a steady stream of outfits, weapons, and Expedition Cards beginning on Day 1 and continuing over four months will keep you customizing, expanding, and challenging your friends to new adventures.

Only the new tomb sounds interesting. Also Expedition cards? Get the **** outta here!

Nvidia now pimping this one...nice price though (if you need a new GPU!!).

Will have to play the one before this before buying but this one does look good.

chef-borjan · 7 Jan 2016 at 21:42

Big back catalog (like the rest of you no doubt!) so I'll put this on the wishlist and wait for a sale...

Looking forward to it though. Are they planning to make another one after this? Trilogy style?

mrk · 7 Jan 2016 at 21:43

Those 4K screenshot tho! :eek:

I'm trying to get out of Nvidia whether the new TR will have SLI and 3D Vision support...

Dirk Diggler · 8 Jan 2016 at 17:02

I'm doing another play through of the 2013 game... Absolutely fantastic. I'm really looking forward to this release, and fingers x'd it's not a Batman AK type release.

Nvidia bundling the game with their GPU's is the kiss of death!

Tempted to pre-order this at the price, but after the stuttering mess that was Just Cause 3, Think I'll wait until its released!

Should be alright. Nixxes Software have done the pc version. Been reponsible for lots of pc ports, with no train wrecks.
