Game Informer March Cover: Rise of the Tomb Raider
- Thread starter shinobi602
- Start date
I doubt that. I think this is going to be similar to titanfall with a different studio working on the last gen version.

Sadly, it's never coming back. Don't get your hopes up. Sales of the reboot told them that people loved the new Lara murder simulator, and didn't care about actual tomb raiding. Expect more of the same, with some tombs sprinkled in so they can keep the moniker going.

The mini video feature on the site has someone from the dev team say something about living up the promise of raiding tombs and puzzle solving (something like that). I hope this definitely ends up being the case and we get larger, much larger, tombs. I liked some of the mini ones in the reboot but I would love to see a handful of larger ones in the sequel.
I really don't see an issue with that what with the feature itself talking about the possibility of the game being released on other platforms.

hell, anything beyond one damn room is gonna be 'larger'
To compensate for the larger 2 puzzle room tombs and todays gamers that have zero attention span there will be an "autocomplete function" where Lara does the puzzle herself.
"Ohhh I had to stack BOTH boxes to get into the next room. Thanks for helping me AI-Lara!"

Really enjoyed the previous title. Will likely pick it up for PS4 when it comes out.

Do we need to go over the same thing over and over again? I don't really care about the exclusivity BS around it, I come into the thread to read about the game.

too bad Lara doesn't have Zangief as a partner.
yeah no
didn't stop her from being cold on top of radio towers on mountain peaks in tomb raider 1.

I do think CD should be commended for creating a badass heroine character that is a strong lead. Obviously the TR name was already established as well as Lara Croft but I think its pretty awesome how they toned down the overt sexualization of the character and still made her beautiful and strong at the same time.
I like sexy stuff as much as anyone but it would have felt really out of place with the tone of the last game and they could have easily fallen into the trap of sexing her up.

Never played the first game with the tank top anyways. Aviatrix Jacket all the way.

Most likely. It isn't confirmed. If it does go to playstation who knows how long until it gets there.

I don't really care about how people justify it, its going to be the same game either way. Is it really providing anything useful to the thread?

.It is a shame the game is cross-gen though. 2 years after the launch of xbone. Will be interesting to see whether they have a PS3 version when the exclusivity deal runs out.
That's not what this franchise is anymore, unfortunately.

Tomb Raider 2013 was my GOTY that year. I absolutely loved it and everything seemed to be designed for my tastes in mind. I triple dipped and bought the PS3, PC and PS4 versions. Can't wait to check this game out!

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
We don't know the terms & conditions of the contract.
SE could have licensed Rise of the Tomb Raider exclusively for Xbox platforms, consoles, and asked a period window of 6 months before releasing on PC.
We know it's a time exclusive much like Ryse but that's it.

Except you don't know that. It may very well come to playstation but it hasn't been announced.
We'll see.
It will.I would be too if it was coming to my preferred platform

6 months, it's obvious there just avoiding uncharted 4 which releases the same month.
to release next to that on the same console would kill sales, but to make it timed get a marketing deal and release it 6 months later when people have had there fill of drake would pay lots.

That's my only disappointment for this game, Siberia is a great location, but unfortunately Lara has to be well covered there...

No, but it sure is an improvement to the atmosphere to be dressed for the occasion. Not to mention that she was stranded and trying to survive before.

And yet her series has strayed from her core and gone right into the type of game play that Uncharted established.
If Lara wanted to be her own thing she'd go back to being more 3rd person tomb solving than run and gun like Uncharted.
I hope they scale down the story on this one, make it personal and less unnecessary side characters, we had so many in TR and none of them were interesting or very important. I'm still bummed out that it's cross-gen though, MS if you're paying for exclusives, pay for current gen exclusives please. I like that they mentioned puzzles, more of that please, those were really good in TR13.

I think the gameplay is better than Uncharted because of the Metroidvania influence. They said they are doubling down on that too, so that's REALLY exciting to me.
I agree. I can see this coming to PC for sure, but I'm not sure if Microsoft will let it go to PS4. Hope I'm wrong, but...
