So first of the year then?
Indeed. Hopefully around e3 we can start discussing the game and not the deal anymore. But still, 2 weeks wait is going to be tough! Cant believe its almost time
But what would make a developer go full/timed exclusive? They must weigh up the benefits of both scenarios, so even though it may look like less sales due to a single console launch they must get something else in return, if they don't why do it?
If it releases around the same time as Uncharted it will lose sales, because why would you pick that over uncharted, if it releases months after uncharted, different story

"Exclusive to Xbox" doesn't leave out the Windows 10 Store. I'm wondering if we see the 360 version cancelled and the PC version launched day one and exclusive to the Windows 10 store for a time (Steam later along with PS4).

Yeah, it really becomes annoying after a while. But what can you do?

Here's the high res one http://www.laracroft.tv/wp-content/...mb-raider-box-artwork-render/BoxArtRender.jpg
Did they count on a Uncharted 4 delay? It would have benefitted more before the delay now with Uncharted coming out before March around the time Tomb Raider would be coming out it could hurt them.
I would have put money on it becoming multiplatform again after the delay with Uncharted but it doesn't seem to be the case.
This and Gears of War will take over my Xbox One this year.
I wont be able to wait for it for PS4
I think thats 90% of the reason they went exclusive. Go up against uncharted on ps4? nah. Get microsoft money, take their ad budget, release on PS4 later after Uncharted fever.

Hate CGI trailers, just visual lies.
But what was this trying to go for? More inner survival crap that was hilariously bad in the last game? Yeah, that's gonna sell me on the game.

I like CGI for announcements. This was just pointless though.

I mean, I am usually that sucker that believes it's in-game but there's no way in hell any of that was in game. I'm still hyped as hell for this game though

By the looks of it she's going into a tomb. Not to mention in a podcast they've confirmed
things like tombs and traps.
Sam and Jonah are confirmed to be in the game. In the first trailer, Lara was suffering from a serious case of PTSD. According to CD, Sam is even worse off than Lara in that regard.
Man, fuck that. Lara screaming Sam the whole game gave me a headache. I hope it's a small cameo and she isn't damsel in distress again.

When she was terrified and confused and fighting for survival was when the last game was GOTY material. The first 90 minutes or so of tomb raider were fantastic. Whenever she turned into Rambo suddenly touted machine guns and using some half assed tacked on crafting system was when the game took a giant turn for the worse for me.
Kind of like how it was in the original tomb raider games. When you were just exploring and platforming and fighting lions and dinosaurs the game was epic. As soon as fighting humans took over. It became trash
She could avenge her death....
i really hated the supporting cast of TR, all of them.

Jonah's the only one who's been confirmed but Sam hasn't.
In the last issue of the comics the front cover suggests that Sam gets committed to a mental asylum so hopefully that's the end for her.
I don't mind Jonah but I doubt we'll be seeing much of him as after the

The story was pure garbage and very badly presented. Like someone though this was a good way to tell a story and they were fucking wrong. A lot to learn from ND there. Mechanically it was solid but unremarkable.
Stop making me imagine a beautiful future that won't happen.

Meh, so only a CG trailer? So I've missed nothing? Right?
(Gameplay trailer, brandnew trailer, etc.)

Honest question...does anybody really care about CGI trailers?
I quite liked the last TR game, it had a really solid base for future games, get rid of the shitty supporting cast and make a better story and it could give Uncharted a real run for its money.
That said, Im bummed that this is going to be XB1 only for a while.

2015 game, announced last year with a CGI Trailer. And we get another CGI trailer a year later...
I doubt that this will make it in 2015.

Man, CG trailers do nothing for me. Still not excited about this game despite enjoying TR2013. Need to see some gameplay
Dude did you really need to bring in that Uncharted comparison? Leave it alone

It doesn't matter if it's Cgi or in game... It won't play like that anyways...
I cant get excited about a game based on a cut scene.

I agree, im excited for this but with literally no gameplay shown and the game is supposed to be out this holiday, I just don't see it making it in 2015.

I hate CGI trailers they should at least showed something like this UI less and at the end put "in-engine footage".
But No. Because TR will not look like this.
I'm confident it will on PC, or even better than what we saw in U4.

I don't mind CG trailers when they are done well. Maybe teasing some new aspects or mechanics/abilities that will be in the game. While also setting the tone and story of the game. The Arkham games and Deus Ex have done good with this.
What did we get here? Snow, mountains, climbing then entering a tomb. We still have no idea what was going on. Pretty vague trailer.

The only explanation I can think of is that they are holding a massive gameplay reveal and info blowout to showcase at E3. Otherwise it makes no sense that we've seen so little despite it launching in 5-6 months.
Or they could be saving the gameplay for E3.

Another CGI trailer? What's the point?
There's a full gameplay reveal in 2 weeks and SE has stated its coming holiday 2015 in their financials. So unless there's a catastr His setback on the next few months it'll still come out. We haven't seen anything from battlefront either

Because if the game will be released "soon" they should show us a something in engine or a little gameplay footage. And i bring Uncharted 4 to the table because NextGen TR should look at least like Uncharted one. TR Reboot on last gent looked as good as Unhcarted Trology. Just saying.
Still not get why companies still spend money on CGI/Live Action trailers, who buy a game because trailers like this? I prefer 5 seconds of in engine/game trailer than 2 minutes of nothing.
