Yes they are. I think that should go in the title.
this is one game I honestly didn't expect a 'multiplayer' mode. :\
Eidos Montreal developed the multiplayer.
From the CD community manager:
It's this American obsession with multi-player, that's destroyed the art of the single player campaign over the last decade.
Too much developer time is wasted on it...all that effort just so a bunch of teenagers can scream trash talk to a captive audience.
I'm glad to see that EM is dedicating their time and people to making a MP mode that no one wants for a terrible looking game that very few seem to want instead of getting Thief 4 or Deus Ex HR2 going.
Yes I realize it was probably a small separate team.
isn't that studio working on the matrix version of Hitman going with the art works (or was that another studio?)I guess that game will need multiplayer.

It honestly should have been expected. No multiplayer, no sale!

I bet its a copy paste of Uncharted multiplayer.
That's Square Enix Montreal.
Eidos Montreal is the 400 person studio making Thi4f, Deus Ex 4, and a new IP that's sort of like medieval Uncharted.
Well, they have to practice for making the multiplayer in Thi4f, Deus Ex 4, and their new IP.
Really?
I mean, it's a heavily linear third person shooter.
That's like a neon sign for having multiplayer.

I did think we were past the "MP? This will hurt SP and suck!" phase. Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, etc, etc all showed that MP can be great in a SP focused game.
The Hunger Raider on that cover.
Well, we can add Tomb Raider to the growing list of games that have unnecessary multiplayer. A list that includes Bioshock 2, Mass Effect 2 and 3, Uncharted 2 and 3, Resident Evil 5 and 6 (co-op), and many others.
I thought they were pushing this as a story-driven exploration/survival game?
Haven't been following it enough to realize it had transitioned into "third person shooter' territory.
Very disappointing.
Well, at minimum, we've seen this for Thi4f:I can't make a face that's angry enough for this.
Who am I kidding based on their most recent stealth outputs (HR and Hitman) a blind 5 year old could see that Thief 4 is going to be some crummy hybrid stealth/action game instead of a worthy Thief sequel. MP is just kicking me while I'm down.
What? First I'm hearing of that.
As for multiplayer for TR, no big deal. I don't play multiplayer anyway (though I try it out occasionally to see how it is but I don't stick around). No time or resources were taken away from single player, so no big deal.
I'm waiting to see if someone pissed off at the reboot yells "NOW THEY'RE DOING MP AND TAKING RESOURCES AWAY FROM SP FUCK"
Hmm Edios Montreal doing multiplayer? Could that mean the next Deus Ex will have it as well?

the sad reality of modern gaming, I guess.

Hahaha holy shit I was right.
Updating the OP and title.
Meh, can't end up worse than Thief 3.
It's the way of the industry now. They think no one will buy games unless it has MP in it even though the majority of these games' MP modes are empty after a month or two. This industry's not a fan of logic and common sense. After all who should we trust, common sense or the marketing department who knows everything?
I enjoyed Uncharteds MP a lot. So if it's like that it could end up being neat.
But I guess they will think: we haven't made it accessible enough and there was not enough multiplayer smh
I get the feeling it will be some co-operative stuff rather than straight up Team Deathmatch but we'll have to wait until the issue lands to find out.
Better with Kinect
No, if it fails, people just don't care about Tomb Raider anymore.
Please let this bomb as well.
Publishers/developers HAVE to wake up at some point.

So if any game fails is because suddenly people don't care about the IP anymore?
Riiiiight...
