The most absurd thing is their intention to still push ahead with the Xbox 360 version at this stage. Why even bother; surely they've seen that last-gen software sales are already through the floor, and this game won't be out for 8+ months yet?!
Of course it will hold it back. Makes my blood boil and I'm not even TR fan
Forza Horizon 2 on 360 didn't hold back FH2 on Xbox One.

Give me more exploration with puzzles and some non human enemies (the cover is a great step for that) and we're in business.

This is one the major reason I'm gonna get an xbox one.
Yeah tone down the Waves and waves of enemies as well.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Really excited for this game, can't wait.
One of my most-anticipated games of the year.

I am too. I hope they follow through.
no confidence Xbox One version will sell consoles. it'll probably sell way more on 360 anyway.
Definitely a good reason, but i'd say Halo 5 and Quantum Break are good reasons too

That shoulda said reasons Halo and gears and the rest are good reasons too.

so it wasn't just my imagination then?
because it really felt like the last game had a bunch of gameplay elements stripped out
oh yea?
X1 exclusive wouldn't be profitable. So they are trying with X360+X1. But CD doesn't care because MS is paying bills. We will see but as PC gamer i still hate this whole exclusivity thing.

I like that it's mostly going to be in a wintery environment.

I am not sure how in hell they shipped the game with that tacked-on MP. Review purposes I guess.

I see what you did there Game Informer...
Let's hope the writing and performances are good this time around. I thought the gameplay was great before, but the narrative and characters? Woeful.

Nice cover but like the last game, it isn't revolutionary.
I can wait as long as it takes to make it to my system of choice, but by then I won't plan to pick it up day one.

Looks like a direct continuation of the previous one, count me unhyped.
Eh, it's obviously a red coat with snow.
Unless it's magical blood that doesn't fall on any other part of her clothes.

Same, can't wait.
Prediction: Quantum Break will be released in August and one of Halo or TR will be released in November and the other in October.

The specific calling out of "puzzle tombs" makes me think we're still not going to be "raiding tombs" as part of the core plot, which makes me a bit sad. All of my favorite stuff from the original games comes from the huge tombs and puzzles there, which were part of the core game then.

Do people honestly think that's a white coat with blood?
It's a red coat with frost on it, just like the rest of her.

Have you seen the first screenshots? it looks awesome, nothing less than Uncharted 4, so i'd say Xbox 360 version isn't holding the Xbone version back...of course i want to look a proper gameplay to judge better, but i trust Crystal Dynamics, the PC/definitive edition version of Tomb Raider 2013 looked already another game compared to the PS3/360 one.

This game is using the same engine as the last game... This cross gen is going to be mostly 'free' since they are just reusing the same last gen engine.

Man, there are some big promises interspersed in the buttercream-thick PR fluff in that video. I feel safe calling bullshit, but I'd be happy to be wrong.
Wow!
I actually love them both.

In between dumb-easy platforming sequences and murder-sprees, you will get a prompt alerting you to a nearby tomb in the area. This time they will be twice as big as they were in TR 2013 and with twice as many seesaw puzzles.

Would be cool if there were a bunch of actual survival mechanics, but it seems unlikely.
