Game Informer March Cover: Rise of the Tomb Raider

I hope it doesn't get released on PS4 too long after the XB1 version.

It's exclusive for Holiday 2015, so I assume anything after Dec. 2015 is fair game. My guess is, 6 months. Not to long that it'll be entirely forgotten, but also not too early that it makes the deal look even worse

According to GI, Nixxes is doing the 360 port. CD is focused on the Xbox One, and they claim they're doing it without even thinking of the 360 version.

So they mention larger tomb puzzles: very nice. Cut down on the boring set pieces and keep dat bow combat and we're good to go.
 
People can get hyped over whatever they want, first of all. Secondly, if I had to guess, I would say that people are simply more excited due to the fact that we are getting new information.

Come on, man. Do you REALLY have a problem with people being excited about something?

He's having a bad day because he is remembering the chance he almost had with the girl from the deli.
 
It's the game. The developers seem confident enough. And I'm glad GameInformer finally lifted the curtain. The Rise of Tomb Raider sounds like a very special game so far. A very... special game. Maybe one for the ages.

Your honestly starting to freak me out a bit bro. I thought you were joking before.

Excellent, will buy on PS4 when it comes out. MS can pay however much they want to delay the PC and PS4 versions, i will buy it on the platform i choose.

And Nixxes BETTER be doing the PS4 version like they did the PS3 and PS4 DE versions
 
Which could mean PC, but okay.

Blah, this argument has been on since the announcement. The port begging is just dumb and always seems so unenforced on XB1 titles.

There's a difference between port begging and commenting on the fact you'll be waiting for it to come to another platform, which it's practically guaranteed to do.

Some of the comments are really weird. I am hyped as I loved TR reboot but I have no clue where that guy and some others seem to think this is GOTG material with no media released except for these shots.

Since it's not confirmed and there has been no indication of it coming to PS4, I don't see how it's not port begging. People can be make all the assumptions they want about it coming to other systems, but for all we know, it could come to just PC. Like, yk, Ryse and Dead Rising. The same thing happened with those.


"Lara can now scale trees, hide in small bushes, and swim underwater."

Sounding better and better. Can't wait for gameplay or gameplay impressions.
 
Too bad it's on Xbone only.

RIP, Batzi! ;_;

Yeah, same for me. I'm hyped for the game and I'm buying it day 1, but some of the comments here are really strange.

Ah well, who am I to judge.

Hehehe it doesn't work like that :D If core feature is not achievable on X360 it won't be in X1 version too. But there is chance that they will do same thing that Monolith did with Nemesis system in Shadow of Mordor for X360 version.

They can keep the combat as long as they open the arenas a bit. Too often in TR I felt like I was forced behind one piece of cover while enemies were funneled through the corridor toward me.

In general, more puzzles and platforming are always welcomed.

If it wasn't coming to PS4 MS would be screaming that as load as they could. See, for example, the gloating they did with TF.

There's plenty of indication this will come to PC/PS4 Down the line.
 
Well being that video games are things we actually play yeah I think its odd to get hyped over something so inconsequential. Are people going to get hyped over the next book cover in the ASOIAF series?
You're missing the point. It's not excitement for the cover, it's excitement for the game and the fact that being in the cover means people will get details on gameplay, scenarios, design, etc.

Carry on with your excitement over the cover.
Grandmaster of condescension.
"Lara can now scale trees, hide in small bushes, and swim underwater."
I read "Lara", "bushes" and "underwear" and got nervous.

What makes you think that? Haven't hey already said exclusively on Xbox, just like they did with Titanfall?

PC, sure, I can see that. Ryse and DR3 did the same. PS4, possibly, but nothing to make people say they'll wait for that version.


I guess we'll see. It's just goi to be annoying seeing these post in every thread concerning the game.

Yeah, it'd be a good mid-2016 game, during that lull between the "Oh shit, FY is almost over!" games in March, and the holiday rush in Fall.

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!
Lara can now collect clothes, herbs, minerals, hides, as well as relics. Clothes + herbs are used to treat wounds.

Maybe they are inspired by TLOU this time

I love the improvements already. The developers are going all out with this game. After taking care about the fundamentals, Rise of the TR will be the true game changer. I'm sure the content will surpass the stuff from the first one in every possible way. I can't wait to hear more from it. I was waiting day and night for some updates. I cannot thank Game Informer enough.

Exclusively for Xbox in holiday 2015.

Its worded in that manner because it was always a timed exclusive in terms of every other platform. Otherwise there would be no DE on PS4.
