From everything I've seen the DLC is lackluster at best. The port doesn't seem like it's anything special. No visual or major performance upgrades and sounds like the input lag is still even there, or at least a large dead zone. So you're paying 60 bucks for a game that you can pick up for 20-25 bucks on Xbox One and that SE has put no special energy into improving or making a true value. Hold out a month and it will be 30 bucks or lower.

Just picked it up. So pumped.
Yeah I can pick up the XB1 version for $25. But what am I going to play it on? Should I buy an XB1 along with it? I think it's going to cost me more than $60 to do that. Advice please.

2nd game in the new series. I'd start with the first if you're interested.

The input lag is still here? WTF?
Man, this sounds like such a lazy port...

Advice is right in the post you responded to, wait a month and get it for a much cheaper price.

You'd think with an extra year to work on it they could have at least fixed that.

Did anyone else pre-order this from game? I received a package with pack of Tomb Raider themed cards (Which I didn't realise was a pre-order bonus), but I didn't actually receive the game itself, or any kind of receipt. The dispatch email was sent at 5:20pm, so it's possible that it may come tomorrow, but it seems weird to send the cards without the game.

I want a normal ps4 case and not this artbook thing that screws up my collection! Give me choice square!!
I don't remember any problems on XB1 except the pretty noticeable input lag. What issues do you have with it?
WHAT THE HELL!!!
Why couldn't they do like The Witcher 3.... why putting the game inside the art book itself instead of a regular PS4 case, that will totally ruin the collection I've worked really hard and LONG years to build.
I'm so pissed and angry and annoyed now :\
If this is not annoyed for you then good for you.... but for ME this is freaking annoying
If this was first print only then I will wait for a regular version.... serouisly this is so annoying.
This is the only way I'm going to buy the game:
Other than that... no way in hell I'm going to buy the game.
That's just plain weird.
So there's is no other version than the artbook version? A damn shame, I do not like editions like that. I just want a regular case for my game.
Guess I really have to wait and hope the release a regular version, is still love to play this game.

Huge deadzones making it nearly impossible to line up headshots. I've been playing this game all week and it sucks ass. DF said there isn't input lag etc but I knew something was off. Now I read others dislike it as well. It seems to be more deadzone than input lag though.
Cool and all, but those boxes were absolute trash.

1) buy an xb1
2) find something else to play till the price drops
3) pay full price for a year old game
...Im working on coverage now but...it sucks. The dead zone and lag issues are just as they were on Xbox One. I don't know if it changed since the MP demo I played or what but it feels bad. Disappointed.
Yup, it's all out.

If it's as they mentioned ( Limited Edition Art Book ) and ( Limited Quantities )... then the 2nd print or later on should be available as a regular version, hope it's not that long.
Well forgive us for liking and wanting and caring about different things than you do.

My guess: MP mode has less input lag, as it features less ambitions rendering pipeline. Usually input lag of this scale comes into play when a developer does a rendering pipeline that's more complex than what a hardware should realistically be dealing with, so the time to render frames is simply too long. Killzone 2 and Uncharted 3 come to mind. On the other hand we've seen highgly ambitions rendering games that have much less input lag, so maybe the developer simply doesn't know how to work around issues of this kind. Either way, I think people hoping for a patch that can solve this are hoping in vain because probably something too complex and too drastic would need to be done to make it happen. The only likely 'patch' here for console version will be to play it on PS4Pro in unlocked framerate mode.
Keeping my fingers crossed that it will come out sooner rather than later.

Hope it's actually happening...... a regular version......

The new content on PC (Blood Ties and Lara's Nightmare) has a bad performance on DX12 :/ the framerate drops a lot. But on DX11 runs great! Anyone with the same problem?
Yeah, no kidding. I'm on twitter and saying I want one on both Square Enix and the official Tomb Raider account. Some people might think this is lame to complain about something like this, but I want my regular cases for my games. I do not care for special cases or steelbooks.
The input lag is absolutely terrible on PC when you lock the framerate to 30. I found it unplayable.
Really disappointed to hear there is still lag or deadzone issues. It was my biggest issue with the Xbox One version and I was looking forward to playing the game without dealing with that on PS4 :| Love this game but that was part of the reason I was excited to play it again on PS4 (I don't have a gaming PC, so can't use that option).
Yeah, ROTTR is on the absurdly easy side. The placement of explosive barrels, munitions, crafting material, etc. is explicitly designed for you to mow your way through without need for care. Even on hard (on the original release at least), the game was significantly less of a challenge than the normal difficulty of other shooters like Uncharted. Lara becomes a walking armory very quickly.

CDkeys is legit.
Yes. If you have a Facebook account, you can go to their page and get 5% off.
yes like instant-gaming. I don't know how they do it but it's awesome.
Played through the opening sequence last night and I'm looking forward to diving in further. I do get the impression that this would have been a bigger "wow!" release last year when I wouldn't be mentally comparing everything to Uncharted 4. It doesn't feel as impressive from a pure technology standpoint and the characters certainly aren't as thoughtfully presented. Then again I'm just getting started and I fully expect the distinct gameplay experience to keep me engaged even if I roll my eyes at the dialogue and storytelling from time to time.
There's still the potential for some jaw-dropping moments here. I'm sure the PS4 Pro enhancements will impress and wish my system was here already. I also wish I had our 4K HDR display on hand and look forward to going through some of these scenes again to see some of dramatic vistas that occur early on. Has anyone started an HDR play-through?
Suspecting what I'm missing may tempt me to temporarily shelve RotTR to focus on other titles in my backlog until November 10th. Xcom 2 has its hooks in me already but a month is a long time...
