That would be nice and all but I want to see what the game truly plays/looks like, not some CG bs that's not really representative of the final game.Grisby said:
If that's what's going to happen then I hope CD at least have the decency of following up with a real gameplay trailer not long after.

Completely different gameplay though.Plagiarize said:
GoL is a dual stick shooter with some platform and puzzle element, with isometric camera, we have had multiplayer games similar to this for AGES.
This one is supposed to be a metroidvania with platform and survival elements.
With all this focus on realism and survival and atmosphere etc etc, you can't just pop in a 2° character and go with it.
I'm not saying they'll ruin it, but it's not that easy to imagine a good multiplayer/co-op mode to come out of this.
And even IF you can imagine a good survival game w/ coop, you'd have to dedicate to it far too many resources, to not make it something "attached" at the last moment.
Let alone a competitive multiplayer, that will probably be a ghost town after 2 months.

Going by that it would seem that we aren't going to be getting a legitimate trailer any time soon. They also only released one ingame screen (that wallpaper posted a few days ago) during these features. It seems like CD revealed this way too early considering that they don't want to show much of it.

I hope the multi-player consists entirely of QTE combat.

You're crazy man. Just because YOU didn't find enjoyment in something doesn't mean others didn't. There are still 50,000 + daily players. Uncharted 2 multiplayer is great, and really fun. They supposedly only made the multiplayer portion in 1 year, and it's better than a LOT of other big name titles that are multiplayer focused.
Nobody knows how the TR multiplayer will turn out, but don't talk down on Uncharted MP just because you didn't play it.
This is the GI-cover-making-of they've been teasing:

Did I talk down on the quality of the multiplayer? No. however, Uncharted will be remembered for it's single player campaigns. Thinking otherwise is simply silly. I was simply speaking for myself. I would rather see that effort put elsewhere. You may disagree. That's fine. Sweet, about 1.3% of those who bought the game still play multiplayer. Awesome.
Does TR need the same? IMO, no. They have a lot of work to do just in the single player side of things in order to make it the big deal they think it is.

But again, no one knows what this multiplayer in Tomb Raider will be like. If it's anything like Guardian of Light's co-op, it could turn out to be brilliant.
And on Uncharted, of course the games will be remembered for the campaigns, especially because there has only been multiplayer in one of the 2 games so far, but you're wording it like the campaigns aren't already top notch efforts so dedicating time to multi is harming the series. It really isn't, and they've already said there's going to be an even bigger focus in Uncharted 3. It isn't a footnote just because YOU didn't play it. And lol @ your 1.3% stat like I'm hurt now. Daily players fluctuate between 50-65k for a game that was released a over year ago and, as you put it, is remembered for its campaign. On the PS3, I'd say that's pretty damn good.
Anyway, let's just wait and see.
Visual Works. That's just SE's internal CG studio, they did the cover render, the upcoming trailer, that Deus Ex trailer, FFXIII CG and yes, Advent Children. The direction was awful but that studio can produce some technically excellent CG for the industry they are in.cuyahoga said:
