anything with a T-Rex in it has to be worth a go, i remember the 1st Tomb raider with that T-Rex in it, awesome.

Been looking at the PS2 trailers on http://www.games.net/ps2/108924/index.shtml,

looking good

I just tried it and it's really good. Smile
The first person part of this game is problary the best I have ever played on a console. I didn't play long enough to play with kong, but I got a taste on third person (with kong) in the pc demo and that was kickass, so I expect it to be even better on the console with a good controller.

It's really hectic though, and you die quite easy. But the hectic gameplay is also a key to why it felt so good. The graphics are great even on the ps2, with great enviroments, and the framerate is perfectly smooth all the time.

No problems with this version either, it felt like a retail, but since I haven't completed it I cant be sure.

After reading all the hype from gaming magazines about how good it looks I was a bit disappointed by the graphics of the Xbox demo. Maybe I expected too much. But the gameplay will definitely be good. Ubi Soft and Michel Ancel really know what they're doing. But of course I'll wait for the Xbox version anyway.

Is this coming for PC? I guess more than likely it is but with a big gap after console release?

played 5 levels, so far enjoying it, getting abit repatative on the enemies that you kill, hope that changes soon, but apart from that, easy to play through, not died yet and you have to conserve ammo or you'll run out fairly easy and use the spears and bones instead

is this version PAL or NTSC? Or can it be chose within the game? If it's PAL I don't wanna get it.

Still kinda good? PAL is superior to NTSC when it comes to picture quality, so yeah it's "still" good. Razz
If you want the best looking version, then PAL is obviously what you shuld get.

nono, thats not what I meant, I wasn't talking about differences in PAL and NTSC picture quality. I meant like how much are the graphics lowered in the ps2 version compared to PC, or xbox? Does it look nearly as good?

btw, I dont have a PAL television so I can't play PAL games. If I convert it to NTSC it cuts part of the screen off because it's too large so I prefer NTSC so I can see everything.

Ah I see.
I would say that the pc version looks almost identical to the ps2 version (easy to see if you lower the res to 640x480), except for the higher resolution of course. This makes me believe that they developed the game around the ps2 and then just ported it to the rest of the systems.

looking forward 2 xbox version when it slated 4?


As for framerate, the 360 version runs smooth, while the PS3 is a jaggy mess that chugs along in slow motion.

i cracked and got the PAL version anyway, i couldn't wait anymore...Its really fun, but im missing like almost 1/4 of the damn screen. I like how it feels like your really in the game kinda. And im so glad they actually make your character TALK, not like in Half life, doom 3, quak4, and all those dumbass games where your character just stands there like a fucking tree when people are talking to him. Its so stupid when they do that in games.
I can't play this version anymore tho, gotta wait for NTSC or PC release!

This game needs to have black borders, you will miss the movie feeling if you run it in 4:3 and without black borders.
I even run in 4:3 with black borders (not the first 4:3 mode, the other one with even bigger black boards) to get the right feeling, it's great. Smile

It's cool to see that they make a few games these days with either true widescreen or fake widescreen in 4:3. Some games are much better with this, it sets a movie feeling that you cant get if you run in full screen. RE4 had it too and it worked brilliant in that too.

After screwing with this adr_patcher for PAL to NTSC I finally got the screen to fit somehow. I think I might have picked 40 instead of 48 for the Y-Fix Offset. Anyway, I hope it helps anyone who was curious. btw the patcher I used was adrenalines patcher. (adr_patcher)
