This game is already bought in my mind, but I'm having a hard time thinking about which platform I want to play it on. Based on what I've heard so far, PC version seems to be in a really bad shape, in which case I will just go ahead with Xbox One version.
I'm assuming the ps4 is just the lead platform. It's weird they don't even take the time to put it in both sections.
Lower res is my bet. The Xbox doesn't have any reviews because no reviewers were sent Xbox copies to review.
I've been keeping my eye on this since it was announced and seeing the reviews just about sold me on it, but...
...then I got a 25% off code and 4 free games buying it through GMG, so for $37.50 I was happy to take a chance with it.

Reviewed extremely well, just as expected.
This game has been a top 3 must have for me since it was announced, and it only sounded & looked better & better the more I saw and read.

Some guy was apparently streaming it on Xbox One and when asked about it, he said 900p/30fps. Now i wonder how someone can actually know the resolution, but ok. But damn..30fps? Wasn't the PS4 version 60fps or is that not confirmed yet? These would be some damn big differences and i'd honestly....be sad in that case. 
And jeez...it's not like the game is some graphical powerhouse. Yes i like the moving grass and trees and clothing, but the environment itself isn't mindblowing or anything.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere ps4 version is 1080p/30. If it's 60 though...

Yeah, i didn't read the reviews, so i don't know if they spoke about it. But there are articles on Google where devs said they were targeting 60fps on PS4....and that they did not comment on the X1 version....

If it can get to 60 FPS on the PS4, then colour me pleasantly surprised. Heck, I'd even take Tomb Raider: DE 's 60 FPS unlocked.
Someone's experience with the Nemesis system.
"I just have to share this as well.
After 10+ deaths against the same f***ing enemy, I finally managed to kill him today. The f***er was immune to most of my attacks and always had a pack of orcs with him whenever I met him. I've met him several times since the start of the game and never managed to kill him.
I've honestly never held such a grudge against a video game character before. He has leveled from 5 to 20 and caused me so much problems.
I spent 3 hours this afternoon, killing off his captains and leveling up, just to be absolutely butchered when I gathered the courage to attack him again,
Then I interrogated an informer and learned that he fears Caragors (the bear/hound things) and that he's susceptible to stealth kills.
So I tamed a beast and let it loose inside his camp after tracking him there, watched as he fled, and followed him at a distance.
When he was alone on a cliff, I snuck up behind him and slit his throat.
God daaaaaaamn, it felt so good.
I love the nemesis system."

Yeah, the nemesis system always sounded great in theory, but it seems they actually pulled it off. Great news.
Its more than not bad, its batter than many of the more well known next gen titles which include Watchdog, Destiny, thief,Infamous 2nd sons. It only lost to Titanfall I think.84 average on metacritic. Not bad
