    i played the demo two times, WOW not only is this a long Demo but it shows how amazing this game is it is visually STUNNING no wonder the requiremtns are so high then again i ran it on pretty much all settings maxed out. This game reminds me so much of uncharted Drakes Fortune it has the same type of gameplay and Graphical Style though Laura looks alot better then drake :D i'd recommend anyone to check this game out id i had to rate it from what id played id say at least a 9 our of 10 it was very engaging. If you want to try something fun but different by then end of the year check this out!. :cool: Now the decision, PC or 360 or PS3? Looks like pc considering i inserted my 360 controller and this thing from the beginning automatically configured full controller support for the 360 controller, amazing! :D

    So this ones not going to be as much of a disappointment as anniversary?
    I didn't like legend much either:\

    1 & 2 where all that really done it for me, 3 & 4 were good but not AS good, chronicles was mediocre and angel of darkness was an epic fail.

    I'll have to check out the demo before i invest in another disappointment:\

    It is pretty easy to use the ps3 controller on the PC and should work ok for tomb raider, but keep the power button on the ps3 on off.
    I had mine on and the controller sometimes connected with it, even with me a bit distant from the ps3.
    I wish my notebook was working :(

    I hope that the demo will be at playstation store later!

    I never played anniversary sadly, but this one rocked like i said i was getting a FULL Drakes fortune feel.

    Her boobs are actually nice and big this time around :D not that i was looking or anything :rolleyes:

    The keyboard and mouse, i have no clue because the 360 controller were REALLY good i dont see any reason this is one of those games where the Game pad feels really solid

    Im sure this will be in the PS store the question is how good are the graphics gonna be compred to the pc? Stay tuned.

    I don't game with controllers, so I ran Tomb Raider Underworld with the keyboard and mouse. Apart from being a bit choppy with the mouse response to begin with, altering the sensitivity of the mouse solved this.

    i just D/L the game on my 6860. running with T9300 and 8800 gts on 4gb ram. and this game is SIMPLY AMAZING. rendering was incredible and the gameplay is very engaging.i ran it fully maxxed out with 2x AA and it still runs smooth.

    i simply love how they set up the map that makes it hard for you to solve the puzzles set out for you. and getting from one place to another is a likely challenge. not like some other games that they lay out everything in front of you. id give this game 9/10 cause of the controls and the panning of the camera is sometimes difficult.

    lol a 9/10 just like what i said heh yeah i just cant get over the graphics in this game it is a humongous step forward. Also when you fight those tigers it's quite epic :D and that puzzle at the end with lord shiva was fun.
