Howy ho!

Ok ok so I decided to pick up a quality mic, an Elgato and have some fun. Here's 45 minutes of gameplay from the new TR. Thanks a TON to Sapiens for helping set up and configure OBS and the equipment.

Looking for some feedback. I think my mic is too high and the game volume too low, or do you like the levels? I think the game sound level is a little low.

Also, the game just uplaoded to YT so 1080P is still rendering. Had fun doing this! :)

I believe this is an Xbox One exclusive.

No, PC version Q1 2016. Which is what i'll probably get. Actually its coming for everything. Even 360. Just want to know what version the video uses.

It's actually not an ACTUAL exclusive. It's Holiday 2015 for Xbox One, Early-2016 for PC, and late-2016 for PS4. It's just a timed thing.

Like was said, it's too bad Fallout 4 is out the same day. I can't be bothered to pay $50 for a game I know I won't touch for 6 months or more. I haven't even bothered to play the first one I got through Games With Gold.

Timed exclusive is still exclusive right now. Anyway I bet that was on XB1 since I doubt there are any versions of the other releases available and it releases in a week on XB1.

I think it looks really good. Too bad fallout 4 comes out on the same day.

Tough release week to compete in, how they're fairly different games as well.



That looks pretty damn good! What system is that on?

It's only on XBO until early 2016, and then comes to PS4 sometime later. Don't know if there's been any actual confirmation on a date.

Looking forward to this game. Actually bought Tomb Raider Xbone bundle for it. Haven't opened it yet though. BestBuy has free $50 gift card promo and this weekend adding a free game also(your choice). Gotta go back Friday to see how I get the game. Figure return, exchange worst case scenario.

Didn't see too much spoiler stuff but I fast forwarded through much of it just to see the environment and such.

I played the first game on PC and have the definitive edition from games with gold on xb1 but haven't given it a try yet. I enjoyed it on PC though.

It looks really good. I have the first one on PS4 and PC, played much better on PC with kb+mouse.

Hi purbeast. :)

What did you think of the video? I just upgraded my equipment and am looking for critique.

- Did you enjoy it overall?
- What about the volume levels? I think the game volume was a little low and my mic was a little too high.
- Was the insight into some of the mechanics good?

The commentary was fine and easy to hear. The game audio not so much but that's ok IMO. We are hearing about the game and watching the action rather than playing so the game volume doesn't need to really be audible for the most part. That is unless your goal is for people to hear it. The video was good quality, or as good as can be expected of YouTube.

Like I said I fast forwarded through a lot of it because I wanted to see the environment, animations, and effects. I didn't catch a lot of what you were saying about the game to be quite honest. I will give it a second look this afternoon.

Thanks, really appreciate the input. This is my first video capture + voice on my new equipment so it was a little bit of work getting everything working. In fact, even if the video sucked I just wanted to get through the first video haha.

How is it 45 mins of game play when the video is 41:09....

I really enjoyed the last, and will get this one as well. Played last on my PC, will try this on console instead. Very glad to see another.

Game looks amazing. Can't say enough good things about the first one (well, the last one they made anyways). I'm pretty butthurt that I can't play this on PS4 for a long time. I can't remember another game I actually wanted where they did this type of staggered release. Pretty angry about that.

Just from quickly watching the video, looks like a lot less QTE than the previous one. Graphics are decent, not amazing, but will be better on PC.

Is it coming out on PC later or on the same day?

~Q1 2016 for pc.

Looks like the reviews are pretty solid. Definitely looking forward to this, loved the last one. Sucks we have to wait for pc version, but I'm patient.

Anyone not playing Fallout 4? Square Enix is probably going to complain about poor sales again.

I'll pickup fall out 4 later. I wanted to get this game tomorrow but my brother wants to borrow my Xbox one to share play black ops 3 with his friend for a little while so looks like I will have to buy it later.

Not watching that video....don't want spoiled. BUT, I'm stupid because I've been meaning to play TR first, then play RotTR when it released, but only got to starting TR a couple of days ago. I am thoroughly enjoying TR though and this next entry looks amazing, can't wait to get to it.

Those of you who played it let us know what you think. I really wanted to play this but I got to get my One back from my brother. I was contemplating Fallout 4 for the PS4 in the meantime, but I'm not sure if I would get too into it. This game and a bunch of other exclusives are pretty much why I wanted an Xbox one as well.
