Default Any pc gamers getting worried?

Any pc gamers getting worried after seeing the 3rd trailer?

I know i am a little, it looks very, very realistic but laggy as hell.

I hope the finished game doesn't run like that.

I really don't want too lag my way through a new tombraider game.

lag depends on where you watched it from.

I watched it from various other sites and the trailer ran fine,it all depends on where you watched it from because i never saw any 'lag' watching it where i did.

if you watched it from gamespot then of course you had lag, gamespot isn't very good

I know my computer won't handle (or how u say) Underworld .
That's why I really want my Xbox 360 on my birthday so I can play TRU on 360 .

i'm sorry but why is this forum called 'Any pc gamers getting worried?'? What about other console players?

And i totally agree with Rexie btw.

Yeah im sure the game right is going through its final stages to get everything running steadily,getting framerate just right and such.

Although I still think this game will be heavy on PC. Part of the reason I don't play games on PC anymore is more and more games keep getting so demanding on a system. I don't feel like wanting to go out and dishing $200 on a new card for the PC just to be able play future games Wish I had the money to do so, i probably would

But PC people shouldn't worry, game will be running very steady by its release, im sure of that. They want you to have the best product possible

@Lara_Super_Fan - Because Some people are worried that thier older computers wont be able to take TRU, due to older graphics card, RAM etc, whereas console players such as, PS3, Xbox 360 etc, are built in to handle it.

Past year I've saved up 1000 euros (1500 dollar) for a new computer. Now I'm waiting for the system requierments for TRU so I can go buy it.

So no, I'm not worried. But indeed, the trailer sure is laggy from gamespot.

@ Rabid and Josh: Lets hope so anyway.
Whenever I've had my mates play Tomb Raider, they never knew where to go.
Even on Legend.
So they never understood why Im such a fan, but they like the look of Underworld.

Yeah most of the time when people dont understand where to go is they're usually of the FPS genre of games which you just run straight forward and shoot. That was the case with my cousin, just FPS and he didn't like games where you had to solve puzzles or find alternate routes

Your completely right.
Exactly the same thing for my mates.
They play FPS and nothing else.
How can they play such rubbish? Halo is alright, but nothing ground-breaking like TR

minimum 1GB or Maximum 1.5 GB of RAM
Nvidia Geforce 8600Gt 512 mb ddr2
Free Hard Disc space of 12 to 15 GB

I wonder if PC users can share photos with people on ps3 and 360 or is just isolated to the system where you can send pictures to. Like..

XBOX 360 to XBOX 360 only

PS3 to PS3 only

PC to PC only

etc
