Dominic White posted:2: Rhianna Pratchett is the lead writer on this, is VERY proud of her work and seems annoyed at how the marketing has There's a possibility that this wasn't entirely her fault, but she also wrote Mirror's Edge, which had a laughably awful storyline. I do think this game will be at least alright, but maybe that isn't the part I'm hopeful about.

cheetah7071 posted:Don't know about the original first game, but the remake had Lara make a big deal about how she's never killed a human before and there's a big buildup to her finally deciding she can do it. So, retcons I guess? I don't think the new game is even meant to be part of the same continuity.

You know what I already like about this game? A loving worldwide release on a tuesday. Turns out it's extremely convenient for the consumer that you don't arbitrarily restrict a digital download for half the globe!

Mazed posted:I dunno about you guys, but when the inevitable Final Fantasy 7 remake comes along, I can't wait to see Sephiroth graphically disembowel Aeris, leaving her twitching and gurgling on the floor as Cloud, covered in her spilled blood and entrails, thousand-yard stares at the gory spectacle. I mean, that's pretty much what happened, right, but they just couldn't show it because of 1997 technology? Right? This, but unironically

Mordaedil posted:I don't think Tomb Raiders main selling point of setting was ever really "tombs". None of it has really been all about raiding tombs. It had a female protagonist on adventures a lot like Indiana Jones. That's why I play the games. The actual tombs are really nothing to me than brand recognition. If this is the thing you love about Tomb Raider, you might as well just watch the new hit TV-show "Relic Hunter" starring Tia Carrere! Lara might have been good for marketing, but the first Tomb Raider succeded because of clever platforming, excellent, complex level design and a great sense of isolation. The series would have sucked from the getgo if there were no tombs and every time Lara visits modern locations and deals with other humans, it is usually the worst part of every Tomb Raider game.

Luminaflare posted:Does this game have co-op? I read something about it a few weeks back but on further inspection today it seems to just have some weird tacked on multiplayer made by a different studio. No, it doesn't. Just the multiplayer, which I'm sure is practically dead a week after release.

Yodzilla posted:Also TresFX seems to be disabled in that screenshot. TressFX doesn't look good at all, though. I mean it looks fine in still images, but in actual motion it's like Lara's got a bunch of spaghetti hanging from her head.

I seem to recall her speaking very negatively about her experience with writing the first game (i.e. they apparently changed/ditched a lot of the characterization), so I doubt she'll return for 2.

Yodzilla posted:She straight up disowned Thief due to how hosed up the end result was. Oh, you're right, I was totally thinking of Thief. Well, she might return, then.

Neo Rasa posted:I wouldn't mind if every TR game handled it the way the new one did where the stuff is like, there but you don't really interact with it at all directly til towards the very end. Yeah, but I always thought Tomb Raider handled it pretty well. The first game was actually pretty lovecraftian in its own right, very slowly going from bears and bats to crocodiles and gorillas to like harpies and anubis guys to demons and ending with a giant fleshless torso monster.
