Easily the best of its genre, the feel of the controls and graphics smash all the uncharteds out of the park.

Better graphics than a bunch of PS3 games? Incredible, can't wait to see this with my own eyes.

Lol - this game seems to be crucial to the survival of the xbone so you have to cut them some slack.

Hardly. The XB1 is doing okay, it's way behind the PS4 in terms of sales and I'm sure MS regret several things (Kinect, GPU and early marketing for starters) but saying it won't survive is just fanboy nonsense.

Anyway, back to the game, I'm about 50% through and so far so good, there is very little new stuff that really adds much but that's pretty much the story will all sequels nowadays and the core gameplay is great fun.

Only slight disappointment is that the optional tombs are still mostly one-trick ponies so even though they can be quite large, there isn't much to work out despite them being marketed as being a huge challenge. At most they have taken 10 minutes so I have no idea how reviewers say some of them took over an hour.

In terms of the Uncharted comparison, I'd rank them as:

Uncharted 2 > TR2 > TR1 > Uncharted 3 > Uncharted 1

I hope and expect Uncharted 4 will be even better and if the two series keep battling it out that suits me perfectly!

This thread is spewing with fanboy nonsense.

And the PS4 is crucial to the survival of Sonys entire electronics division.
Hows that Vita working out for them?

This is the tomb raider thread for tomb raiding (well optionally).

Shame you can't play it then. Not exactly the best thread for you to be in!

Perhaps play something exclusive on your PS4? Oh wait, yep, Sony can't afford anything! "LOL".

n111ck · 12 Nov 2015 at 20:44

Lol where's that mad max gif again.

Steedie · 12 Nov 2015 at 20:45

The way they've done the rumble feedback on this game is brilliant! Not played a game that's done it as well as this before

Really looking forward to this now especially after the crapness of Halo......

I have fresh controller batteries installed and will await the Yodel delivery man. Hopefully he will decide to visit....

I am going to figure out how to get my collector's edition back home on the train.

Youre not by any chance exaggerating the size of thecpackage?

If it's just that size, it should be okay (but still to big to fit in the overhead shelf on the train), but it will come inside another cardboard box, with padding.

I don't have it, just got email from Square Enix with tracking info for DPD scheduled for tomorrow.

Metalface Mark · 12 Nov 2015 at 21:41

I'm here to find out what the game is like for when it's released on a platform I do own, but so far the only insight I've gained from your comments are that the controls and visuals are better than a four year-old PS3 game so I can't say I'm entirely sold on it yet.
