Tomb Raider - Rise of the Raider PC

[Columbo]

dont understand why people say linear games are bad, aside from witcher imo most open games are just filled with dull boring quests, most of the best games ive ever played have been linear, resident evil 4, god of war, uncharted, halo, most of these massive open world games are so over hyped (fallout 4) Id take a 15-25 hr linear game with a great story line over 100+ hours of same quests any day

It being linear is not actually the biggest problem I have with it, its the fact that its intentionally designed to not let you fail and ensures you are nearly always doing the right thing.

I understand the 'its been rebranded' thing but calling this a Tomb Raider game is a leap, it should have been called 'something else' starring Lara Croft.

Loved TR2013 and based off the comments here brought this as well. Only just started but GFX do look amazing, so far running very high @ 1080p with GSync and feels smooth on my 980Ti.

This is true (IMO, but true....IMO)

The orginals were neither linear nor open world in my view, technically linear I guess but for instance you would come to fork in the road then maybe have 3 or 4 seperate complex branches to wander off in with puzzles and no help and then return with several peices to unlock a door or whatever, a real challenge, satisfying. The new ones are nothing like this, you cannot fail, its very patronising, aiming at the ****test gamer out there catering to all for maximum accessability, flappy bird players, people who play candy crush and the like, if you think you own completing these two games you are deluding yourself, you have achieved nothing.

You cannot not finish them and thats the problem, its the equivilent of a 6 year old girl on her little bike with stabilizers and daddy holding on to her, shes chuffed she's riding her bike.... but she isnt really.... thats you, thats you completing tomb raider.....

its not bad though i am enjoying it.

Absolutely loving this game, the details, the story, the environment...wasn't expecting it to be this good!

The graphics are just sublime

 

[Daytrader]

Looks great on the xbox, best graphics ever and runs super smooth, and the gpu on that is like a gtx 570, so how come people with 980 having trouble running this maxed out ?

900p and 30fps with lesser graphics.

 

[Daytrader]

Did not realise it runs at just 30fps on xbox the demo looks super smooth and so nice, and i have almost a top PC so i know what nice graphics are, cant believe it can look much better than what i seen on my xbox, think i will get on pc then, cheers

I'm guessing crossfire isn't working on this as I've turned off most of the 'fancy' settings (DOF, occlusion, film grain etc) but still not scraping 30fps with things on high (albeit running at 5760x1080) but still. System managed TR2013 at high and I don't think this is a step up too much graphics wise?

 

[Daytrader]

Thought triple screen was only for racing and flight sims really, no point in triple screens for fps or rpg games is there ?

This game has some really good facial animations and detail. The rigging that must have gone in here is great.

56K warning for facial images

It actually runs at full 1080p on Xbox one.

Only cutscenes have reduced resolution

Enjoying this game, GTX 970 all settings high (blur options off hate blur) runs very well.

I was on very high but got to the soviet installation and that's where FPS dropped to noticeable low, so turned textures down to high and same for LOD I think and it's perfect.

I don't run an FPS counter anymore as I found all I thought about and looked at was my FPS rather than concentrating on the game so as long as it's not noticeably dropping it's all good

Went ahead and bought it. Got for 25 bucks so not too bad (not as if I have 35+ other games still to play)

 

[killswitch73]

I just got this game for £9.15 ,,installed through microsoft store but cant get precison x , MSI after burner or Fraps to show the FPS on screen while playing , i need to know as my res is 7680x1440p , it seems smooth on full settings without HBAO+ and its set to just on and reduced the depth of feld to just on . very playable with 2x980ti and 5960x at4ghz and full water loop . just cant see my frames . it feels like im getting around 40-50 fps .

Have seen 8.5GB Vram usage now at 4K/Very High!

Good ol Titan X.

There's a lot of 980ti owning Titan X haters on facebook groups. As more games like this come it will show them the reason we bought Titan X's. (not aimed at any normal 980ti owners here).

It's basically people who wanted the TX but couldn't afford it and are annoyed others could.

You guys playing with KB/Mouse or Controller?

Xbox one controller

Xbone for normal stuff. KB&M for shooty stuff as I can't aim with a controller to save my (Or lara's) life.

A single GTX 980 be enough for 1440p? possibly with gsync

I tried upscaling on a 1080p monitor. I was getting around 30-40FPS with +230 on the core. And thats with textures set on high.

Up them to v.high and vram instantly shoots up to 4GB.

So yeah, it's possible, but your fps aint gonna be up to much.
