Rise of the Tomb Raider coming to PC Steam on January 28

Voxel AO ?
Mentioned years ago by Nvidia.
Holy fuck. I wonder what is Durante's opinion on voxel based AO solutions.
people are ready to drink the kool aid, which is a bit baffling considering their history with pc gaming.
Don't know, but I bet it will tank framerates alright
I wonder if retail copies (and Nvidia copies) activate on Steam. You can guess they will but that's just a guess at this point, right? If MS played this right (ie. used more money), those copies would only activate on their own store. Then again that would seriously limit the sales of this title but if they can attract any customers to their store..
That being said, I hope I never have to use any Windows store in any form. Actually I tried once but it wouldn't load properly so that was a great experience. Then I tried again with the 10 cent deals month ago but none of those deals were available in my region so another great experience. I would just skip this game if that was the case and buy it on a Steam sale later on.

It's so weird seeing Windows 10 and Steam being mentioned as separate platforms. I know Windows 10 means the store but still. Weird.
I got batman AK, MGSV, and witcher 3 with my 970.
batman and MGSV were steam, witcher 3 was GOG.
since GOG isn't an option, probably a safe assumption it's a steam key
Screens Alcocat is trying to post are pretty cool looking.
I did the right thing waiting for it to come to pc.
link to shitty compressed twitter pics.
edited with better screens. Thanks NeoRaider.

Wait, it's not W10 only right?
And it doesn't support DX12?

Waiting for those yummy bundle codes..
Just like how they got rid of the Windows 8 store after being abysmal (and people see that in the Windows 10 store for now...even though good apps have been coming recently)? MS isn't going to leave this store high and dry compared to other things as this is how they are going to make money off of Windows itself (since they are going to a Windows as a service...it will be a while when we see Windows "11").
I know the pain from GFWL but more importantly I felt MS' shift from win32 to WPF to Silverlight (and XNA) to WinRT and now to UWP for software development. You know how hard it is to keep learning a new language on a dime to try to make software. I actually do believe UWP will be the "last" thing we devs have to learn for a while just because of how Nadella is foreshadowing the priorities of the company. The store is where MS is trying to make money (not one for PCs, they want to get PC popular with the store so that it will help with their mobile offering). I don't see them abandoning it. I pray they don't as that will leave a way bigger trust issue with businesses (a way bigger market than gamers) and they won't fuck that up.
i thought the same, but i was linked to this thread. So do some reasearch on the status of the CE.

Seems pretty low quality.
talking MSRP. not some deal on a reseller site.
No DX12, but Voxel based AO seems extremely appealling, and it confirms the PC version will have more sophisticated rendering features on capable hardware.
That is all I take from the press release.
Those screenshots look phenomenal, but at the same time my 980 will never enable me to pretend to such IQ.

So do we have official word on which middleware this is gonna use, GPUOpen or GameWorks?
Oh, wonder if this is an alternate solution to HBAO or a successor with brand new technique and better optimization.

They are making money off the store, I read an article recently that they saw a massive increase in revenue YOY just from December alone.
I will say, your post does come as somewhat contradictory as you are arguing that this is here to say while in the same breath mentioning how many times they have made sweeping changes to strategy.

I just hope MS will continue to offer their PC games (I know RoTR is just a timed exclusive) on both platforms.
They don't have to entirely abandon it for the user experience to lessen when it is no longer actively supported.

Nice, but The Witness has priority for me.

MSFT are not offering Rise of the Tomb Raider on steam, Square Enix are.
The former. Not legit in the sense most people understand legit in this context.
I think that shows more how absolutely abysmal it did before than how it is doing now, lol.
probably a lil of both. i've used them for awhile and havent had any revoked keys or any shit like that.
I am sure they'll mod this in if it doesn't.

Really looking forward to it. Do we know if/how GFW will be implemented for it?
Remember they're bundling this with Nvidia cards, may be some cheap ones on ebay as well.
£21 on cdkeys just now. Hope it might drop a little more closer to release
