It uses Denuvo. So either sometime or never.

PC port is great, I'm getting 45 FPS with all settings on high, 1920x1080, SMAA, and some of the PC exclusive features turned on (I turned off motion blur and depth of field of course). My rig: Core 2 Quad 9660, GeForce 960 4GB, 8GB RAM.

Mouse and keyboard controls are good, mouse enabled in menus as you would expect, and the response latency times are very quick (apparently the camera was shit on the Xbox). The game feels like it was developed for PC.

As for the game itself, I'll give a judgement when I've finished it but I like it so far. It isn't amazing, but neither was the last one. It was an Uncharted clone with better combat, but without the fun. I still think Underworld and Anniversary were the high points of the series.

The port for the previous game was quite nice as well, even my toaster could run it at acceptable rates back then at medium-high qualities.
Shame that the game's likely to be as bland as it was before.

yeah, the last one ran well on my mac. Still shit but ran well.

I think they kill off the giant kiwi man in this one, so there will be no point in continuing to play this series

I heard fans of the first game had a hissy fit because the asian best friend/implied lesbian love interest from it was written out in tie-in material.

Yeah, can someone confirm how the PC port works?

The game currently has some memory issues. The game apparently uses over 7GB of RAM in cutscenes (where the character models are like 100 times better) and eats up all of your VRAM. I'm running it on very high (there's no ultra) with hair physics set to very high and SMAA as my AA option. It runs at stable 60 until it fucking drops to zero, loses a few frames and goes back to 60. So... yeah. But some say it's a Windows 10 issue only (probably a Directx 12 issue?).

My specs:
i5 3570K (OC to 3,9Ghz)
GTX 970
8 GB RAM
running from a SSD
Windows 10

Nu Lara needs to get that glaucoma checked out.

Btw, this is not a DirectX 12 game

As we speak, Yamatai is working hard on his new "gameplay" patch:

Are there nude mods?

This sounds interesting however I doubt that I’ll buy it as I’m close to giving up on the game due to the fact that in certain areas it spams you with hints every few seconds unless you do what it wants. Yes I’m aware that I can destroy structural weak points if I shoot them but I want to jump up on that roof first and have a look around and you telling me the same thing repeatedly isn’t helpful, it’s really fucking annoying. I can understand how some people might find this sort of thing useful as a one off message in a new area but surely no one needs the same prompts every five fucking seconds, it’s obnoxious, it’s patronising and there’s no option to turn if off.

Modern triple derp game design :roll:

Did reviewers even mention this shit? Come to think of it, maybe they actually like features like this.

That just looks like two freakishly undulating, out of sync, beating hearts.

Oh hey, that almost happened.
