Game Informer March Cover: Rise of the Tomb Raider

Really hope this has a lot more tomb raiding.

I loved the reboot, but it was very light on any actual exploration. They don't have any excuses not to have some really massive tombs to explore with some really mind twisting puzzles littered throughout.

Funnily in our store (one of the biggest in Finland) we still have twice as many preorders for the PS4 version than the X1 version. Small numbers though since there's only around half a dozen preorders for the X1 version. Fun little anecdote though.

Game looka great. Can't wait for the PS4 version.

The fact that there were even preorders for other platforms before they announced the exclusivity is just part of why that whole thing was shady as fuck and rubbed people the wrong way.

Yeah GAME still show the PS4 version for preorder. There is probably developers working on the PS4 version now in secret, waiting for the MS check to clear.

Is there actual hunting and crafting this time, or is it just more killing stuff for XP and finding weapon part 1/3 in a box?

Absolutely loved the last one and it looks like they're actually putting together the final pieces which the first lacked which is great news. One of the reasons I am glad I also bought an Xbox One.

Hopefully this one has a story and memorable characters, other than Lara, I'm at a loss to remember anyone's name or anything that happened in the previous game. The gameplay mechanics were awesome though, and I still 100%'d it on the PC.

The decision to make this a cross-gen game boggles my mind. It will certainly suffer because of that.

Yeah, this bums me out a bit as well. We're far enough out, last gen should just be left behind IMO for triple A stuff.

Hopefully there will be some Globetrotting. Quasi-open world in just one setting is rather stale, to avoid using the word boring. At least when it comes to adventure games imo - it helps mix things up and keep you fresh wanting more. Mind you Tomb Raider is not Uncharted BUT who said Lara has to be confined to just one "area" for her hole adventure aka game.

From the looks of it, Siberia this time, replace wolves with bears, tropical climate with cold. Also, tombs better not be optional sidequest this time.

More gun variety please and lastly, for the love of god, a good script with semi-believe characters.

Don't want Far Cry in a TPS suit.

Ugh, really hope this thread doesn't get full of "looks good, will wait for ps4 release" and other port begging posts.

I'm so hyped, though. Beat the first game twice and kinda enjoyed the multiplayer. Can't wait for the issue to release.
 
I'm still disappointed that this game is going to have its design limited by last gen consoles what would be a full two years after the new-gen launched.
 
XB1 and X360 only at D1.

Wow even PC is getting shafted on that?!

Not port begging at all as we all know its coming to other platforms, but I'm going to have to hold out for the PC release even though I have an Xbone. I want to play this game maxed out as I'm sure it will be gorgeous.

Is it port begging when you know it's coming? I think it's perfectly fine for people who only own a PS4 to say they're excited for the eventual release. Not like most people are willing to buy an X1 just for this when they know it's timed.
