No point waiting until "Spring 2016" for the PC version when you can play it RIGHT NOW. I'd completely forgotten they were still releasing a 360 version, I thought it was going to be NG/PC only. Heh.

... though... 30fps... 720p... Crying or Very sad

Sounds like a plan Very Happy I'll be heading off to England at the end of the month, it'd be nice to have something new to play when I'm away from PC for several months. I'm already planning a replay of Resonance of Fate, now I can play Tomb Raider too Very Happy

~edit~

Oh and it's one disc.

It doesn't look that terrible, if you can look past the aliasing and sometimes basic lighting but there are moments where it looks really good as well.

Feels like a real TR, pretty fun so far! (No update had to be done, but last time I did update was last year I guess)

Oh dam, sweet! My brother was looking to play it on the 360.

Haven't updated my dashboard in ages now and/or touched the 360. What's the patching scene like to get this to work on older dashboards?

works fine, havent updated the dash in like a decade Razz gonna check out what version is running in a few min

played the first level, for a 360 game it looks good, but compared to what we have seen now with the uncharted collections or so it looks ancient. and 30fps my ass, massive slowdowns (atleast in the snow level). and speaking of uncharted: feels like a lara meets nathan game so far. but as i said only played the first lvl. cutscenes are well made

takes less than 5gb if you delete the other languages

I used to think Uncharted ripped off Tomb Raider, then Tomb Raider 2013 ripped off Uncharted. They need to stop ripping each other off constantly! (I have no proof)

The Xbox 360 turns 10 years old this month, this is a nice b-day present. Cool

There's almost nothing left after this though, Tony Hawk 5 may or may not still be coming (it sucks even next gen) Lego Avengers comes out January and Mighty No 9 February.

hooked up the 360 to my main setup with the 27" display. looks most likely better if you hook it to your tv and play on the couch with 2-3-4m distances (insted of less than 1m in my case Razz). the 360 suffers with this game, fans are fucking loud (thing is standy right next to me)

Cheers Janz! I think that might be the same kernel I'm on as well. Will try it out tomorrow. If it doesn't work, I have the latest dashboard hacked image ready to be flashed. Just hope I remember how it's done. Razz

dont forget the 360 cant read ntfs, made me wonder 5 min why the hdd didnt show up and rage again cause it had to search a usb stick to copy

think the kernel is from early august 2013... most likely the same time i last turned the 360 on Very Happy dont forget to strip the systemupdate from game dir (in case it wants to update itself)

The last game I was able to successfully play on it was Battlefield Hardline. I always transfer games to my internal HDD and use GOD copies. I'm surprised if ABGX says it needs the latest kernel as the minimum requirement but still runs on an old dash.

Is the frame rate all over the place or just minor dips in random locations?

minor dips when much ice or snow comes down, otherwise its ok (as i said only played the first level which most likely is the beginning of the last, mh wait ive seen that before, mh uncharted maybe? Very Happy )

It looks ok but a bit bad compared to the XBONE version. But oh well at least the experience should be the same.

It looks on par to TR 2013 though at least, the lighting is indeed a bit off sometimes, and the textures too.

The hair looks better than TR 2013 surprisingly on PS360. Not tressfx but really good enough.
Her pants don't look as good as XBONE and don't seem to wrinkle/float...

Like a lot of people, I forgot it would be released on 360, nice birthday present as nosoul says Smile

I was on LT3 and 2.0.16203.0 kernel
Now LT3 and 2.0.17489.0 kernel

Justa reminder for those as me :

flash back to stock firmware (if not banned)
update to latest ms system : http://www.xbox.com/system-update-usb
flash back to LT3

Now, I just need to find a DL to burn this baby

core i5 4690K / 16 Gb / GTX 960 / Ubuntu 16.04 x64

Razz and almost no 360 games on it, just lips with all dlcs and tons of emulator games Very Happy


played i bit more (game says 10%), so far i really like it. though from its mechanics its 1:1 like the last tomb raider. once you arrive your first shelter its your base camp from where you start to explorer and find caves etc (optional i think, can be marked on the mini map if you find enough scrolls etc to have enough skill in that language to use a central ancient artificat like a monolith which shows their locations), loot secret caches etc pp. sadly the first base camp is almost exactly like the forrest in the last one, its even almost build, just with snow now ^^

on the downside: again massive slowdowns and it looks like ass sometimes cause the lightning sucks, really sucks inside caves were its supposed to be darker and you only have your knick light (dunno if thats the real english word for it). and again i have to say: the box suffers from this game, working on its limits (temps above 70°C)

The game worked perfectly like Janz said, no dashboard update was required. Very Happy

I'm quite impressed they can still pull off a decent visual quality with the 360. The slow downs are mostly attributed to rendering heavy particle effects. The avalanche part is where is struggled, but rest is fine.

It definitely looks worth a try, but I'm going to hold out for the PC version. Very Happy
