Not really a good measure, the game could still sell great and not chart (Last year MCC was #10 and sold 660K)

Damn, is this coming to 360 as well? What a true next gen experience let down.

Now I understand why you said Forza Horizon, Driveclub, Sunset overdrive and others did not chart...

Looks like tomb raider as I expected.

too compressed and small to tell anything
at least it is honest to its winter theme seen in its announce trailer.....

Aren't these from that game informer issue from way back?

Miles pls.
I dont trust Crystal Dynamics to make an engaging game. Thats Naughty Dog's job, TR 2013 was just boring setpiece one after the other. The gameplay was alright.
I think Cliffhanger seems the closest parallel at this point. We haven't seen any raiding either.

Yikes that is looking mighty rough. Hope it's an early build or just poor image captures.

Well, in the case of an X-Box exclusive success and NPD charting are indeed stricly related, don't you think?

It all looks amazing to me.. It's very interesting to see people say it doesn't look good.

These are no more Tomb Raider games than MG:R is a Metal Gear game.

Don't worry those are just Sony fanboys

It's hard to tell from pictures that are low res and heavily compressed, the thing that sticks out most to me is what appears to be really poor textures
People can't be critical of a game without being a fanboy? Jesus christ. From these screenshots, the game looks quite average for a current gen game releasing in 2015, the competition these days is fierce. It's entirely possible that these shots don't do the game justice but just because you think it looks fine doesn't mean everyone has the same standards

Because we've seen better. These aren't impressive at all.
Yep, that's the reason. /s

That she is writing isn't necessarily a boon. The story and writing in TR2013 sucked.
Oh what. Now I'm definitely expecting a big improvement to tombs/world if they had time away from tech development.
Considering over 60% of Xbox One sales are in America, outside of the UK, I'd say NPD sales are pretty important.
That is a good point, I forgot that I expect this game to be heavily bundled to take full advantage of the exclusivity period.
Makes me wonder what Square's sales expectations are. Dunno if 600K will cut it.
Pretty small.
that's NOT what she said.
There's not much to be gauged from that scene really, would have to see multiple characters in a shot and see how the background pixel quality holds up. or is this going to be a mostly exploration sort of deal?

Well the places where Tomb Raider is strongest are PlayStation territory even moreso than last gen. Xbox relies heavily on NPD. Still doesn't bode well.

Same here, I think it looks outstanding.
I thought they were fairly big already, 3 times as large sounds great.
Prior to this thread, I had no idea this was cross-gen. Terrible decision.
From now on, all cross-gen games are getting a pass from me. It's time to move away from such restrictive hardware.
I'll hope this doesn't bomb, so we can get a current-gen only RotTR2.

I don't care about the graphics, I just want they get rid of that survival instict feature so the players will have to think just like the classic, original Tomb Raider games.
Welp, people can't criticize a game without being label fanboys nowadays.

Looks good to me!
My fiancée has been playing the last game this past week on PS3, and loving it, so I'm suddenly a bit more hyped for this again, although I'm still incredibly pissed off about the 'timed exclusive on the series least successful platform' thing, but I can't wait to get my hands on it hopefully early next year.
