I thought no one cared about this game and was a "ripoff"?

Read my mind.  I mean the game sold very well and got high review scores (one of my top five games of 2013) but I remember it getting ignored, being called Uncharted rip-off, etc.  Now it's getting so much attention!  It's pretty much accepted as fact that the PS4 is more capable than Xbox One.  What's the hub-bub?


People are irrational. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I will buy it... I didn't bought to PS3 and now I will pay $60 for the PS4 version.

Am I irrational?

I could get the PS3/Xbox 360 version for £15... but no I'm getting a limited edition version on PS4 because I am irrational. Nothing to do with getting the better version of a game I was actually originally planning to spend the same amount of money on last year on a different system but didn't have the funds.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

I think this random framerate lark is a relatively new thing. I'm old school, so it was always either 30fps or 60fps locked. Any fluctuations then would be purely down to frame skips. I don't really like Killzone: Shadowfalls fluctuating framerate. I actually find it incredibly distracting over a locked frame rate.


Ok but the difference is that Killzone almost never reaches 60FPS in MP and never sustain constant 30fps in SP (hovers at 30-40fps). LIke in MP it can sustain 60fps 10% of the time or when you look at a wall.

But Tomb raider apparently sustains "mostly" 60fps meaning 95%-ish of the time. So 95% of the time the game runs perfectly without juddering (like most of the games played on big PC at full settings). Completely different from the 100% fluctuating framerate in Killzone (wether in SP or MP).

So in fact if you play on PC, you must be used to 95% locked with dips (juddering) here and there except if you play all your games at medium/min and at 30fps...

It´s nice to know this reviwer has a bionic eye and is able to dicern when the frame rate goes from 60 to 50 fps or from 30 to 40 and than have the processing ability to estimate how ofen those dips happens in the first moments of the game.


WTF?? Frame drop from ten os obvious to see by anyone who isn;t blind.

"The PS4 version of the game also has some fun with the DualShock 4's light bar, making it flicker red and orange when Lara holds a torch and causing it to flash white every time she shoots a gun."

Sounds awesome

Lara can hold your DS4's torch?

All I really want is the old model back as an option.

Maybe in the next game.

Oh no not the old old one, just the one they used in the last gen versions.

Apart from new textures which would be great, they changed up her face making it look like a different person. Why the fudge would they do that!? To me it's just as bad as when a movie sequel has different actors than the first. I'd say it's worse though since unlike in movies where contracts and actors are involved, this is just the designer thinking "I could have made her even better."

She's not better, just different. Everyone who played the last gen version grew to care for that lara, not this one.

 

Mini rant over lol.

I thought I'd highlighted part of D21's post, apparently I hadn't. The PS4 is technically superior to the XB1. Yet we get the same posters arguing that is not. Or worse we get posters that were burying PS3 multiplats for being inferior saying that it doesn't matter that XB1 multiplats are inferior. Hence my, people are irrational comment. Side note, check my signature.

Edit: I'm sort of torn on Laura's new face. I liked her old one but the new face looks more her CGI face.
