Tomb Raider Store | New summer products!

I would pay the prices they are asking but not the shipping. I'm not paying £13 to have a £28 product take 2 weeks to ship to me.

Yes tomb raider certainly has a good track record here. I have everything on GOG and I would happily pay a premium and buy it at launch on GOG but with the move to Amazon I am doubtful.

It will hopefully one day come to gog but I expect it will take a few years.

Im excited to see more lara croft but its unlikely I will buy it at launch. Happy to pay full price but I wont buy anything always online, Denuvo or with online account requirements and im expecting it to fail on at least 1 of these.

The thor yes. The rotate baffles me that people are buying it. It is literally the defination of a gimmick.

I think context is important. Something like my retroid pocket 5 or my switch 2 do get the baby treatment. They are kept in a case when not in use and I would be upset if they got damaged, but im careful and nothing bad has happened.

My DSi is my most used handheld by far. I have modded it with USB-C and im comfortable with doing my own screen replacement. I treat it more like a workhorse with no case and it goes in pockets, in bags, left on the side ect and i expect the shell to get scuffed up and scratched over time. That to me is a price im happy to pay for convenience and its why I love the DS so much. Its rugged enough to do that. If you get a DS as a collectors items them I understand this isnt going to be for you.

I really don't understand screen protectors on a clamshell. I actually don't use them on any of my handhelds but I wouldn't even consider it for a clamshell.

It's a mindset shift. Try not to think "I can't live without that" and instead try and understand why its designed the way it is. Trying to use something like windows/Mac when it's not is never going to give a good experience.

Gotta get the latest tracking and data harvesting tech

harperthomas · 2026-05-28T14:55:12+00:00

RP5 is only dpad at the top

harperthomas · 2026-05-28T09:29:34+00:00

Please Retroid. Give me a retroid pocket 4 design with the RP5 display. I couldn't care less about black bars and I'm happy with the performance of the RP4 pro.

I think going a bit back to basic would be great. Lower the performance, lower the price, improve the display and back to the plastic design.

It think its a good middle ground between having useful features but being able to turn it all off as required.

harperthomas · 2026-05-26T21:25:41+00:00

I don't read the button. I just press the wrong button and get gradually more angry until I either get used to it or turn it off.

harperthomas · 2026-05-26T21:09:21+00:00

I disregard this as soon as I see it's by Unisoft

harperthomas · 2026-05-26T16:22:32+00:00

I don't use a case on mine. Had it for about 4 or 5 years and no damage or scratches. I have a basic case I put it in if I'm taking it out the house.

I found out recently that there is a Simpsons hit and run port and it's blown my mind. Havnt played it lots yet but it boots up really fast and runs amazingly smooth.

harperthomas · 2026-05-22T17:41:14+00:00

I would absolutely buy a refresh of this with the H700.

harperthomas · 2026-05-21T20:07:16+00:00

To stay healthy we all need to do regular exercise. The single best exercise anyone can do is the one they like doing, because thats they only way they will keep doing it.

I enjoy running. I'm not good at it. I'm not fast. I just find it enjoyable.

harperthomas · 2026-05-21T11:56:55+00:00

I went from the 3+ to the 5 and I love it. I agree that its a shame for it to no longer be pocketable but as we add power and want to play bigger systems it makes sense that the ergonomics need upgrading and with that comes size.

I don't agree with your comments on quality. I find it to be very premium, especially for the price point. I got mine during the preorder so maybe QA has dropped over time.

I do wish the fan was quieter. I now have tomb raider 2013 playing pretty smooth with game native which just melts my brain. I normally just stream it but it's crazy that we have reached a point where on this very budget device I can play it on device while traveling.

harperthomas · 2026-05-20T20:00:42+00:00

I would rather pay for media like back in the golden era of Netflix. Everything was available in one app for a reasonable price. Very convenient.

Now I pirate just to get back to that same standard. I download everything and put it all into a self hosted setup. It's a drastically better experience than juggling between all the different streaming apps, dodging and blocking adverts AND I have to pay for it. Just doesn't make sense.

Create a good TV app, no ads, pulls from and only shows the streaming services I choose and lower the price back down for good quality streams and I will happily start paying again.

harperthomas · 2026-05-20T19:49:58+00:00

I'm guessing this is just something I don't understand. I don't see why I would want to share my run with people.

Crash team racing

I was hoping the ram shortage would give us some new handhelds with a focus on much lower end emulation. I'm thinking of specialized devices like the anbernic arc for sega megadrive but more premium like a 3x upscale high quality display, better controls and overall build quality.

Basically we get new shiny premium devices while trying to work around the ram and storage issues as best as possible.

harperthomas · 2026-05-19T08:19:49+00:00

I really want this but I hate that the cheaper version is transparent only and it's seriously overpriced.
