Such a hypocrite. Next time don't try to brag about your real life like you are some hot shot if you don't want people to say anything. You opened the gate in the first place. Now you are acting like a dramatic little victim. I didn't even insult your wife.

So hilarious.
 
lol @ mcmasters deleting his post that started all of it after trying to report me
 
People are still arguing about this? It's getting to the "it's corny, let it go" phase now. The game's been out a while now & I never saw what the huge deal was anyways. Of course a piece of hardware that has slightly lower specs the game is going to run different. Does anybody want to talk about the actual game anymore or is this just going to be frames per second blah blah blah forever?

Yeah, I'm here after the report. I'm not really sure what to do about all this. McMasters did delete a lot of posts, so it looks more one-sided than it was.

I don't feel like laying down the law. I'll just say McMasters and Hissatsu should break it up and stop with the personal remarks. Please return to bickering about the topic at hand. Thank you.

It was really smart of them to bring this game out on next gen IMO, I have never bought a tomb raider game in the past but due to the lack of new titles coming out I gave this one a chance and I loved it. I'm currently on my second play through and I'll be there on day one when the next game comes out.

I absolutely agree. I missed out on it the first time around as well. But I love it.

It's like a smoother Uncharted with better gunplay but worse melee combat and just enough AC mixed in for good measure.
 
The most successful game console in history, the PS2, was made woefully underpowered and obsolete, only a year or so after it launched, by the original Xbox. Yet it dominated gaming. It should be interesting to see how this generation plays out, and how much "power" is actually needed, and how much is superfluous.

Yeah it's interesting to even see gaming journalist claiming more power equals market dominance. They should know better based on recent history that it doesn't always play out like that.
 
Yes, but it's not a consistent 60fps, it drops to 40-50 fps and judders when a lot is going on on the screen. Both versions are being judged on their merits on each machine and the playing trumps all tech. This is an excerpt from an artcle on Eurogamer quoting DF:"From the outset it is clear that the Xbox One delivers the most consistency across a general run of play, with the game mostly adhering to a solid 30fps as Lara explores her surroundings. However, on the PS4 we see frequent dips and spikes in the render time between frames, translating into on-screen judder and a variance in controller response that does feel a little odd during fast-moving action. However, with Xbox One dipping under 30fps - often in scenes where sustained visual feedback and consistent controls are really a must, the Microsoft platform clearly comes up short in comparison to its unlocked rival." There are lot factors taken into consideration when reviewing a game other than tech specs, and points were taken away from both version for flaws. There is no questioning the PS4 advantage in framerate. It's just not a consistent one.

Interesting that this post was ignored.
 
It is kind of silly though. When inFamous comes out looking great but running at 30fps, it suddenly won't be a big deal again.

Not sure what an exclusive game has to do with anything being discussed in this topic... o_O
 
Has anyone tried playing this over remote play on their Vita yet? The controls are set up better than any other PS4 game I've tried so far.

Remote play is a cool idea. But not really practical on that small of a screen. Imo

This may the One game that makes sense to play via Vita though.
 
I don't think it was too short but I do wish it was longer because I liked it so much :D I took my time looking around and got about 18 hours out of the first play through, that's actually quite long for a game like this now a days.
 
i am shocked at how much i still like this game, i finished it 100% on 360 and thought buying it again would be nice for seeing visual upgrades but i wouldnt have the urge to play it much but man was i wrong.. and the visuals are helping in me wanting to further the game

i really hope they dont mess up TR2, it is for me miles better then Uncharted in every way except story (i am only comparing cause they are similar and UC series was a fav of mine)
 
The Definitive edition has some nice upgrades over the PC version. The only things really lacking in the Definitive editions are a few textures are lower res, the lower shadow quality of the hair, and the lack of tessellation, but the benefits of having far improved TressFX hair rendering, more realistic skin shaders, the new lighting and particle effects, and all new physics-based dynamic foliage are big pluses. I've been abusing the Share button. The game is too beautiful!

Nope. I'll take 60 over 30 any day. Doesn't matter what genre.

I agree. But a locked 30 isn't horrible. Disappointing though.

But I was talking about double standards. So and so game is only 30 fps. But it does all these other things. Why make excuses for one and not the other?

Anyway I fully expect sub 1080P/30 fps down the road even for some PS4 games. If they're pushing the console I won't mind.
 
i said it before and i'll say it again, both consoles are underpowered. these new consoles should have been able to run this game in 1080p/60fps LOCKED without breaking a sweat

both companies disappointed me with how safe they played it and i pray to god this generation doesnt last over 5 years. the longer it goes on the more sacrifices will be made for games
 
That's true. The hardware is disappointing in that regard. Especially X1.

Hopefully the games will make up for it all.
