Tom@LCO Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Tomb Raider 2013 PC on Steam Who would have thought the day would come that there would be no disk version for PC except for the console games. Comes in a few flavors for bonus materials. Personally I don't really care for Steam. I miss the old days (sigh). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrensh Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 There's going to be a retail DVD version for PC in Europe which I'm probably going to get since I want to add it to my pile of Tomb Raider games. I just have to decide whether I'm going to go for either of the special editions. Might go for the Survival Edition... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom@LCO Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I hope so and then I'll get that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom@LCO Posted November 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I pre-ordered it from Game.co.uk deluxe edition. was almost 70 pounds or 111 dollars. I said what the hell the last game was 5 years ago. I'll also get the Xbox 360 version because that's the system I prefer to play on. I like the pc version to get the screens and video for the website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrensh Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Nice! The collectors edition looks awesome, but I don't have space for a big tin and an action figure. Decisions decisions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morph Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Go for the Collector's Edition, Shrenshy! I haven't got any room left with my collection...it's a never ending pile. I refuse to support the new no disc approach. I like to physically have the game I've just paid out for in my hands. I don't mind if it's one of the small download games that go for $20 or so, such as the indie games or HD classics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Got to agree with Morph. Why exempt the PC from having a disc for the new Tomb Raider. Computers are being used to make the game, But these new consoles coming out now, give the player the option to buy and download complete games (e.g. Playstation network's playstation store). No worry about the game getting damaged like an actual disc, so even consoles are going digital Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raekwon Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 I just spotted that the original games (Well, 1-5 at least) have appeared on Steam yesterday. There are a lot of classic games that just aren't being published and seem to get "lost", so it's great to keep the games available in this way imo. One thing that caught my eye are the requirements... they are the same for every game: Minimum: OS:Windows XP / Windows Vista / Windows 7 Processor:1.8 GHz Processor Memory:512 MB RAM Graphics:3D graphics card compatible with DirectX 9 DirectX®:9.0 Hard Drive:2 GB HD space .. Which is pretty funny considering the original requirements for Tr1 were for a P133 or thereabouts as I recall!! I'm guessing the steam version of TR1 runs in dosbox which would explain that, but I don't know why they are so high for the others. I wonder if they will make the "Gold" levels available on Steam. I hope so. I guess most of us here have them but they are very hard to get hold of these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom@LCO Posted November 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 I purchased all 6 on Gog.com. They come in a executable that installs the game to the hard drive. No strings and you can re-download your games if needed anytime and they include the instructions in pdf and bonus materials as wallpapers etc etc. at a very very reasonable price.

Shrensh Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Yeah, I got mine from GOG.com too. $10 for TR1, 2 and 3 in a pack, and $10 for TR4 and 5 in another pack, which is way cheaper than the $10 each they're charging on Steam. GOG is brilliant for old games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raekwon Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Nice deal that, very good. Gold levels next please, Enix! The thought has just occurred to me that I don't own TR1 gold (even though I remember playing it, I have no idea how!). Might have to try and get one on Ebay to complete the set.

Shrensh Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 If anyone's looking to nab all the Tomb Raider games (TR 1-6, plus Legend, Anniversary and Underworld), you can get the whole lot of them on Steam in a pack for £9.99 / $14.99 for the next eight hours or so. If you want to pick and choose individual games, they're £1.74 / $2.49 each. Not too bad http://store.steampowered.com/sub/18475/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrensh Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 If anyone's looking to pick up the Tomb Raider series on PC and missed the above flash deal, it's back as a daily deal. For the next 48 hours, the entire pack is £9.99 / $14.99, or £1.74 / $2.49 per game if you don't want the entire thing. http://store.steampowered.com/sub/18475/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom@LCO Posted January 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 That's a lot of classic tr for 15 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guested Account Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 I will need another NEW computer just to run this! NO disk for the PC version? That's discriminatory against retailers like me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom@LCO Posted January 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 I pre-ordered the U.K. version that's dvd from game.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrensh Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 I've ordered my PC DVD retail version from Amazon.co.uk, because Game didn't offer first class/express delivery and I don't want it to arrive a week late. If my Amazon order arrives a week late I might just give up on retail and switch to digital completely... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
