I'm referring to the announcement that Titanfall was console exclusive forever instead of just timed. Any way we have gone over this before after the initial announcement so need to completely rehash it.

Sounds good so far. I really enjoyed the gameplay, the upgrading and skill point system as well as the movement, cover and environmental traversal systems all worked very well. The graphics were better than I was expecting and the performance on PC was rock solid, Nixxies does an exceptional job with their PC ports. Considering their doing the 360 version of Rise I hope they do the PC version too.
CD needs to make it SP-only though. I only played about 10 matches of the MP and found it to be completely boring and tacked on. The hunting and crafting systems could be more extensive and integral to the actual "Survival" theme of the game or maybe just for a hardcore mode. QTE's need to go or just be few and far between. New game plus would be nice and a new stealth system or non-lethal takedowns would be really cool. More tombs and puzzles are a must too. PC version needs separate options for post processing effects this time around too (DoF, motion blur, film grain, CA etc...), No more lumping multiple effects into one option.

I thought it was Mirror's Edge where "she came in late".
I think it was both those games where that was supposed to be a problem. Since this is apparently the first time Rhianna Pratchett has been able to work on a game from the start in a while I'm giving the benefit of the doubt that she can do better. If the writing is just as lacking-or barely better-in this game though I guess it would confirm that her writing just isn't very good though.

quick question: did TR have better graphics than Uc2/3?
also, I was a big fan of Uc2. I never played tomb raider before in my life, should I give it a shot and get the definitive edition for Ps4?

Cross gen doesn't really matter if it's being developed like FH2 (which it sounds like it is).
No. DE was pretty, though.
Oh my.
And yay at it being cross gen. Hopefully it means my PC will be able to run the eventual port well.

Rockefellers. Skull and Bones. Microsoft. Al Qaeda. A Cabal of Bankers. The melting point of steel. What do these things have in common? Wake up sheeple, the landfill wasn't even REAL!
Look TR before and after Uncha and guess who copied who.
By the way Uncharted was mainly inpired by Indiana Jones.
You should probably go back to some of those 2013 GTA V threads
I'm just saying
Mobile Suit Gooch
Grundle: The Awakening
I can't wait to play this game.
Next year ;_;
Pretty much.
Well at least you are safe in the knowledge that eventually you can play the game. Unlike Xbox owners with SFV. Just sayin....

You know, I don't believe for a second they are totally not thinking about the 360 version.
No way in hell are Nixxes making low-poly environments and character models. The game, exactly like Shadow of Mordor will still have the telltale current gen assets that are bogging down every 2014 game.
The games that aren't cross gen, you can just see the detail difference in.

Uninted Front could be assisting as well, they did help with DE. Not completely unbelievable given the solid ports of DE, might be reusing those assets.

Great cover to what's obviously going to be a great game...I have little doubt they'll top the first one.
Can't wait to see more. Just seeing Lara in the snow environments gets me pumped. Bring it on!

I know but as a game TR was probably the main inspiration behind uncharted.

Not even close, I would even say that Rise of the Tomb Raider barely has better graphics than UC3. Thats not really a knock against TR, just UC3's graphics are spectacular.
Definitely.

No probably not. You should definitely give it a try though.
- No, Uncharted had much better graphics.
- Yes, definitely try it out. It's not as good as the Uncharted games, its identity isn't as strong. But it's still a nice game that's worth your time.

Disagree on both.
TR had larger environments with the same visual fidelity as Uncharted.
TR had better gameplay.
... lame.
over a year and im still playing last gen games on my next gen console (gimped cross gen and HD remasters)

Yes, it's a great game and pretty cheap these days.

I'm sure the game will look amazing, even if it is an updated version of the current engine. I mean, TR DE looks great as it is.
yep. TR DE is still one of the nicest looking ps4/xbo games. kind of crazy, really.

Damn, looking great so far. Definitely one of my most hyped games this fall.

Beautiful game! Full confidence for this next entry.

I'm a bit wary of the setting, feeling a bit burnt out on the icy wastelands and shanties lately.
I am interested in how temperature management might be handled. Lara stands to come out of this adventure minus a few toes if the devs are shooting for realism and she maintains her hilariously awful luck from the previous game.

what makes FH2 cross gen development different from others?
tr looks pretty on its own. DE looks prettier, but doesn't blow me away. if you showed it to me in 2012 I wouldn't look at it and say "oh my god that can't be Ps3 graphics".
...we've barely gotten to see any footage of rotr. and unless you're talking about the 360 version, how can an a Ps3 game come close to being on par with an xbone game?
either ND is just absolutely phenomenal with visuals every time, or SE delivers less than spectacular visuals
which can't be true either because ffs15's graphics do indeed look spectacular
well i'll keep my eye out for a good deal.
i'll probably give it a shot but I don't want to think iI'm wasting my time.
the name is good.
the identity isn't as strong? TR has been around for almost 10 years, and I think lara croft is still overall more well known as a videogame icon than nathan drake.
cheaper than $20?
i'll keep my eye out.
i don't think the pc version would have bigger environments or better gameplay, if that is what he'd be referring to.

I'm talking about the identity of the game itself, not the franchise. TR suffers a bit from the "checklist" design philosophy that Ubi has polluted the AAA arena with.
CD said TR xb1 is Metroidvania. Isn't that what Dark Souls is? Doubt Uncharted will make the game in that style. U4 looks extremely linear. If they want to copy it will be delayed. That would mean Sony will not have a 2015 holiday release. Maybe they could delay Blood born again. Its not like Xbx has anything massive coming early on. Sony still has a head start because of the Order.

You think Sony is going to delay Bloodborne and Uncharted 4 to make UC4 more like Tomb Raider? LOL.

Bruce Straley already said he gives no fucks about what the rest of the industry is doing.
Plus they already confirmed that UC4 will be another globe trotter. It's hard to do a Metroidvania with a globetrotter approach.

Huh. Wouldn't have guessed Siberia from the teaser. Still, looks damn good, and the promise of larger puzzle tombs has me highly intrigued.
