Seems like the PC cover gets a bit more to display. Wonder why the console logos have to take up so much space. Hm..

Regarding DLC, Underworld really made me question how we unlock extra features in-game. It would make sense to let the player experience things as they go. Lately DLC has become so out of control it can actually hurt a game more. And TR is not a series this fan wants to see go through that again. Just a pure gaming experience is all I'm trying to clarify.

No, it doesn't. People can play on PC for different reasons - some prefer the enhanced graphics and framerate boost, better accessibility, etc + play because they find using a Keyboard and mouse more configurable to their tastes. My brother used to play on my PC a lot back in the day and never used a KB/M because he didn't like the control configs, it still doesn't change the fact that he was playing on a PC and it doesn't mean he's not a "PC gamer". What you're saying is completely subjective. It matters to you only and not everyone.

Easier to load, no hard drive space. No booting! No error messages!
Fun, quick and easy, beats lagging around the PC stuff.
I'd play it on any console or PC though.
That would apply if you had a rubbish PC, sure. I really don't see why the majority of PC gamers would choose the 360 version over it, maybe a minority that have PC's that are a bit dated and only capable of playing a few select games in today's market, but I'm sure most hardcore PC gamers have capable hardware. Also, I'm sure most PC gamers don't care about boot time either, if you're capable of waiting from 1 - 5 minutes for your PC to properly boot just to use the internet or play some basic game, I'm sure they'd do it for Tomb Raider. Not to mention that the PC platform is the most accessible platform out of all of them which comes with it's bonuses (such as using modifications or custom levels if allowed).

Like I said before, it's completely subjective, but that wasn't my point. The other peep was insinuating that you're not a PC gamer if you don't use a Keyboard and mouse, when it really makes no different because you're still playing on a PC anyway. I don't see why it matters, really.

Let me begin saying that you're not wrong But imagine a person that plays on a PS3 with a keyboard and a mouse I know, this is much strange that a person that plays with a gamepad on a PC, but it is very similiar You obviously can play with a controller on a PC, it isn't a tabu, but if you do it you can't name yourself a pc gamer because PC isn't born with a controller, but with a keyboard and a mouse Anyway, i repeat that you're not wrong, but from what i read your brother is not a PC gamer, but a gamer that plays on a PC with a controller
Bad-Um-Tss!

That, frankly, is just flat-out wrong. For me, certain games, like older action adventure games (Tomb Raider, LoK, etc.), simply play better with a gamepad, while first person shooters and newer actioners play perfect with a mouse and keyboard. This is my preference and I play almost exclusively on PC and have for years and years. No-one gets excluded for the mile high PC players club simply because they choose to control their game the way they want to...

1st of all, i don't think that there are clubs . 2nd of all: if there are really clubs, people that play on a PC with a controller aren't excluded by the PC gamers club, they simply are apart of another club: ''PC gamers with Controller''. I know, this sounds super-stupid but i don't know, sadly it is probably so

P.S: I'm totally the opposite of you I think that games like TR performs better on a PC, and games like COD are more enjoyable on a console, even if i don't play on consoles

hehe i totally see it the other way around, COD plays way better on PC in my opinion basically because you can aim more precise with the mouse, wherein i think adventure/race/platform/sport games are great for consoles since it is generally not about precise techniques but more about general environment playing with friends etc.

PC all the way Baby! M&KB = perfection

There's no way i could play games on the current gen consoles due to their poor frame rates. Playing a game at 30fps just makes me wanna spew unfortunately.

So, now that TR9 has been released, the foreshadowing poll which showed that PS3 is the most popular console...


(click image to enlarge)
(poll results from before launch)

...has been officially confirmed (link1 | link2)

----

I've renamed this thread, so that the poll can still be used to let us know on what platform you prefer to play TR9 on

PC for me. Can't wait to play this on my Occulus Rift and my Tomb Raider LE gamepad. WOOT!

Once you go TressFX you can't go BackFX.
