once they're done with the Definitive Edition, I'm sure they'll get another shot.
The pc version? Comes out next month doesn't it?

Sales don't care what genre you are.Why is Tomb Raider competing with an open world first person shooter and a Halo sequel
Why did this game sell poorly?
I thought the first one was a phenomenon...

Square Enix's handling of the franchise has been questionable at best. The Crystal Dynamic devs deserve(d) better.
The company has a more damaging addiction to QTEs than meth addicts.
Such a disgusting attitude to have. It's one thing to be disappointed, but to wish for failure just because what they put out doesn't cater to your specific needs is ridiculous. These aren't monkeys, they're people with families to feed.I sincerely hope not. We need a worthy dev to make actual tomb raiding games. You know puzzles, atmosphere, exploration and such? So glad it bombed. I know it's cruel but... Deserved.
When can we expect them to change the name Crystal Dynamic to Croft Studios? Long live sequels.Judging by their job postings they have zero ambitions to do anything except Tomb Raider for the next 300 years so you'll probably be satisfied.
Yup. Wait till PC and PS4 players get to sink their teeth into the game.
Why does eveyone want tomb raider too be a survival game?That was a really good watch!! Even having multiple difficulty levels could be a great way to justify this to Square Enix execs (The recent Thief, another Square Enix published game did this). You could have the standard normal difficulty with the comforts of automated climbing and a harsher difficulty with a grip meter etc. There's DLC coming the RotTR this month which adds a new survival mode to the game (eating, considering warmth and ammo are priorities) with game's like DAYZ, Minecraft and Don't Starve showing us that the market is more accepting of these demanding experiences - perhaps we could this DLC mode more strongly implemented in the next TR game?
Eh, not everyone. Was cover shooting and stealth kills really the direction TR needed to go? To appeal to the bros and brahs of the world.

This is a bad comment.
To be happy that other peoples work bomb because you disagree with the direction is a pretty unappealing opinion in and of itself, but then there is the thing about the old TR games not having any amount of thoughtful puzzles and atmosphere as much as you would like to think.
CD made a fantastic tomb raider, and while it lacked the cave exploration, it was EASILY. And I mean, easily the best tomb raider. It reinvented a franchise that was most well known for the boobs of the main character and the pioneering 3D technology, but if you want to paint a picture that suggests that Tomb Raider had great atmosphere and puzzles and exploration. Yeahh, no. Even for its time among its contemporaries you had a vast array of much more thoughtful adventure and exploration games.
I'd rather see a different studio try to go back to the roots of the franchise since CD has turned it into a standard cover shooter full of QTEs and autoplatforming. If they stay on I hope they learn that trying to emulate Naughty Dog games (Uncharted with the reboot and now some TLOU sprinkled in Rise) is a losing proposition and to do their own thing, maybe what the original series was good at that no one else is doing now. Please watch this CD and realize what TR (and most AAA games) have lost: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQRr3pXxsGo
Just finished Rise of Tomb Raider and I have to say its a pretty damn good game. Hell, its probably the best Tomb Raider since Anniversary. It would have been a great game if they had just added a third large open world area before the climax and could fix the shooting mechanics (bow and shotgun are the only weapons that feel good in the game).
Its sad just how poorly the game has sold though. I fear the franchise might be dead after this one. I do think if a third game is made CD needs to bring back some of the features of the old games. Things I would like to see are:
-Globe trotting - take me to more than one location. Use Dragon Age Inquisition as an example for using multiple open worlds. Lara can travel back and forth via her private plane.
- Croft Manor - give it to me! Make it her base of operations for the globe trotting. As she collects more gear for traversal allow her to open up more of the secrets of the manor
- Gymnastics - if lara is going to take on the big bads all by herself she needs to train. No more clumsy lara in the future please. Bring back uber gymnast lara with neat combat maneuvers. Put a training room in croft manor too.
- Dual pistols - for Odin's sake give lara her fucking second pistol. Sick of the Katnis pandering too.
- Fix the shooting Mechanics - they are WAY to floaty right now and most of the guns feel like shit.
- Fix Aiming Perspective - when you aim in these new games it puts lara on the far side of the screen which looks terrible and completely fucks up perspective. Look at gears of war or saints row 3 for proper 3rd person positioning when aiming.
- Full ability to swim underwater - The "on rails" under water swimming sucks.
Regardless I just hope a new game gets made.
I think that RotTR will do very well when it is released on PC at least.
It has a healthy following there so I really don't think that RotTR will be the last entry in the series.
That being said, I can't wait for the game to be released on PC, then I will get back to you on what needs to improve.
PS. Hire anyone else other than Camilla Luddington to voice Lara.
FWIW I'm really looking forward to it on Steam.Isn't a major reason for the healthy following on PC because we were able to get it for 5 bucks on Steam relatively quickly after launch? I don't see ROTR having the same "I need to play this NOW" type of mentality among PC gamers that something like Fallout 4 had. TR 2013 was the poster child game for people waiting for sales.
Can't go wrong either way. Replace both.FTFY
I think they've already alluded to that on various occasions. I never thought otherwise.Judging by their job postings they have zero ambitions to do anything except Tomb Raider for the next 300 years so you'll probably be satisfied.
Well Fallout 4 did manage to even reduce a pornsite's traffic by a considerable amount upon release, I don't think genre really mattered hereWhy is Tomb Raider competing with an open world first person shooter and a Halo sequel
Seems like a natural progression and more realistic. The gunplay in the old games was awful and looked almost like something out of a John Woo movie.
