Okay, so I can't kill your Tomb Raider hype in 1 thread >.>

The games length, which will reportedly clock in at a respectable 12-15 hours.

12 to 15 + depending on your play style.

Whether or not Lara can swim. Hint: she cant. At least there wont be water levels.

Lara can swim, but just not in this game.

The game will most likely have a few references (and maybe Easter Eggs) to the first game.

Youll just have to wait and see.

The story will have plenty of twists, much like my favorite drinking straw.

We love twists here at Crystal D.

A sequel is definitely on the cards if the game does well.

Why of course.

Finally, the subject of health was touched upon. Lets just say no medkits will be found within the game.

Regenerative. No need for items.onlysp

So much for an open world survival game. This is going to be just another sub-par Uncharted rip off, I had faith in this but it seems like all the developers are interested in is cinematic flair. Seems like another case of style over substance.

Didn't have much hype for it to begin with.

Done

I'll wait and see.

What was the bet? Cause you just lost

Anyway, I'm still interested in it. I like these adventure games. I dont expect complex gameplay. I only expect good old silly fun

Still hyped.

Didn't kill the hype for me,but some of his points are valid.

Hmm. I'll just wait and see, but I think it's likely that I'll give this game a miss.

I was never hyped for it anyway.

All you did was increase my hype, thanks TC.

I thought everybody was looking forward to a Tomb Raider with great survival elements and an open-ended environment. The whole survival aspect was a big part of past Tomb Raider games, they pretty much just reversed that and took away everything good. With the amount of hate cinematic games like Uncharted get here, I'm surprised to see people supporting it :P.

Old Tomb Raider games didn't have health regen and had a lot of intense levels, especially some water levels. They got rid of that, and for a game that's all about a woman trying to survive on a remote island, it's pretty surprising seeing that she can't swim. They're just making the game more and more accessible adding in all this and QTE's.

From what we've been shown, it seems more like a cinematic adventure more than anything else. From what the developers said before I thought that they would go to great lengths to emphasize survival in this one and differentiate it with Uncharted. Not make it an Uncharted rip off with even less gameplay features than its predecessors.

I think i can honestly say that ive never enjoyed swimming in a game, hype intact.

Survival? What survival aspects did the previous TR games had? It always felt just an action-adventure game with heavy focus on platforming and environmental puzzles to me. Never noticed any survival aspect in it

NO SWIMMING? HOW CAN IT BE A SURVIVAL GAME WITH NO SWIMMING?

Everything you say to me takes me one step closer to the edge.

I was going to post a thread but I would've probably not been taken seriously.

My friend playtested the game at Square Enix Montreal and he said it took him about 9 hours to finish. There's still a lot of polishing left, but its mostly for glitches and multiplayer balances, (yes there's multiplayer for hunters vs survivors).

There are only 5 weapons in the game, (pickaxe, bow, pistol, rifle (I believe? have to ask him again) and shotgun). All weapons can be upgraded (bow gets the zoom feature, pistol magically becomes a magnum by sawing off the barrel, shotgun becomes a sawed off, etc. Multiplayer is Bow focused cuz its OP.

If you thought the quick time events and Lara constantly squirming while platforming was annoying in the demos, its like that the whole game. He hasn't played Uncharted 3, but said that its way too over the top with how many times he got completely wrecked in the game and he only bruised her stomach after a series of tumbles. Not very realistic according to him.

He finished Uncharted 1 only since he only has a 360, but says that even UC1 is better. Would give it a 6 or 5 because the game is too repetitive and the survival sh*t (like killing animals to eat) you only really do in the beginning. He did say the story is good though. I can't spoiler tag, but if anyone wants to know about the environments, lemme know. It's very diverse from jungle to ... other stuff lol.

==========================

Now y'all don't have to believe me, but I believe him since I've known him for a while and he also told me valid info on AC3 before release since he playtested that at Ubisoft Montreal as well. I'm still going to get it later on, but I'm very weary on a day one buy now. It sucks since it's my most anticipated of next year.

Any questions, lemme know.

I really believe the only reason this game got any hype was the fact that its was sold as the multiplatform Uncharted.

The problem is Naughty Dog is one of the best current developers. It would take a developer at or near their level to pull this game off(in a way that meets the hype).

The TR team from what I observe is far below this threshold.

TR III was a b!tch to finish. That certainly was survival :P

I'm curious. In what way is Uncharted a TR rip-off? Especially when Uncharted plays NOTHING like previous TR games...

If anything they're both Indiana Jones rip-offs if you're taking into account the treasure hunting aspect of it. Other than that, they're nothing like one another

Anyone who thinks it will be a true open world game should be preparing for a letdown already, it was never going to be like that. Just slightly more open levels or areas. it will still be heavily scripted and linear at times.

And people will still buy it and it will get about an 8.0 here, maybe 7.5 depending

Might be false but if that's true then good god, why add something like that to this game? In all liklehood the game is ok but I doubt it's controls will be tight enough for a competitive MP side of things.

Some of the points aren't even real detractors to the game.

this game is going to go the uncharted route "not that thats a bad thing", but the tomb raider we all know and love is gone.

No hype for me.Zeviander

Pretty much. My hype was low to begin with, and none of the info from this thread has improved the situation.
