Yeah, but does her chest hair blow in the wind?
Looks so damn good.

I have high hopes for this, I really liked reboot, didn't know anything about it when I bought it but didn't disappoint myself.
I just hope they really make better tombs and puzzles, and maybe have optional ones too with very hard puzzles. I hate most puzzles in Uncharted games, they feel so superficial, bit like ones in TR reboot, so easy.
I think Xbox exclusivity helps Sony, in way there are no competition for Uncharted for months, so all PS4 only owners buy UC for their adventure needs, play it through, some MP and then buy TR when it comes out.

is this in-game? If it is, it's very impressive.

let's be fair it's hardly been about raiding tombs ever since tomb raider II.
the reboot had more actual tomb raiding than pretty much any other game in the franchise bar the original. i thought the way they implemented tombs was a neat compromise.

No, but her eyebrows flutter as her emotional state changes throughout the game.

Hmmm, I can't see how you can tell much. The lighting on her face is nice, but the detail is all washed out.

See, this I what I've said before. Faces are a gen ahead of nearly everything else. (this looks great, mind you, I'm not saying that it doesn't)
Last gen software must be selling tons still if this is getting a cross gen release what? 2 years into the new generation.
Looks like to me she doesnt even have a mustache.

As long as she has a landing strip, right? Right.

So, since this is exclusive (at least for now), which is the bigger draw on their respective systems.. Tomb Raider or Street Fighter 5?
I would say Street Fighter.
No shit at the "other platforms" part.
Probably SFV, as at this point everyone knows that TR's "exclusivity" is temporary, and all signs so far are that SFV's is not.

I think the way they handled the tombs was fine, they just needed to be a lot longer and more elaborate. They could just keep most of them as optional areas, if they didn't want to scare off the shootbang people with too many puzzles.
Considering there's not a lot of better looking games than TR2013 on consoles (at least with the same scope) I don't really see the issue.

Hope they bring something about the Tomb raider games which made it so popular before instead of going again with another action oriented game like they did with reboot which i did not link at all because its not what the tomb raider did before.

You must tap triangle to cut faster before its mate hears its cries of agony. I don't dig how killing bears are made into minigames
Always made me feel bad in Assassins Creed when I killed an animal and found a whole family after.
yeah. The first game wasn't even close to a Metroidvania. Had like close to no exploration whatsoever so saying the second game was more Metroidvania or that they're going all in on it now wouldn't even make sense to begin with.
Lots of lipservice about tombs and puzzles, watch how simplistic this shit is going to actually be in practice. Like I'll believe that shit after what you pulled in TR2013. Don't want to scare away all the new gen kiddos who can't rub some brain cells together for more than 5 seconds at a go lest they'll give up on the entire endeavor.

Her responses to those questions...what a twat. Looks like the story for this game is doomed to be as utterly shit as the last one was.

oh, I didn't realize a different dev handled the 360 port of fh2.

The reboot absolutely had light Metroidvania elements. If they go more in that direction I'll be very excited.

I mean... it had backtracking, hubs, and some inventory progression. If that's all that's necessary to qualify as a "Metroidvania", then Assassin's Creed and Dragon Age and Zelda are Metroidvanias.

Be honest, which one of those tweets was yours?
Not really. Well, except for Zelda, which actually pretty much is a Metroidvania in structure.

Well it is not exactly the same but I can emphatize with the way Xbox ONE users feel about Uncharted 4

I do agree with ALL of this as well. But now there's a bear, so that's definitely a step forward. When the tombs get bigger and puzzles get more complex, I'll be excited.

Hunting animals to fuel the upgrade system. Ugh, hated that in Far Cry.

Lmao Sony couldn't care less about Tomb Raider, it's no threat to Uncharted.

It does sound more advanced than the system in FC, but we'll see how it turns out in the game.
They are talking a big game right now, I hope they can deliver.

I'll try to wait for the PS4 version.
For me Tomb Raider. I see Street Fighter as just staying in one place fighting another character.
Whereas with Tomb Raider the variety is so much more. You're swimming, climbing, shooting, running, just generally going on an adventure and exploring many places.
Though I'm not a fan of the animal killing. If it's in there should just make it optional (not a requirement to upgrade, etc).

The only game to get animal skinning right and not feeling tacked on was red dead

So 2 rooms then?
As much as I enjoyed the reboot, I'm not really hyped about this entry. The story was pretty lackluster in the last one and the only thing that held it up was the sheer brutality and mechanics of the game.
I feel like this will be a repeat and still be lacking story, I'd like to be proven wrong though.
Here's to hoping it turns out good for all those waiting for it!
