Looks like Tomb Raider is stepping a little bit into 'Uncharted' territory.

rockleex4759d ago (Edited 4759d ago )

Funny how people were calling Uncharted "Dude Raider".

Yet Tomb Raider is taking hints from Uncharted on how to make proper treasure hunting games.

From the article:

Influences:

The physics of Half Life 2
Uncharted’s atmosphere
The “visióln” of Assassin’s Creed
The origins of Batmans Begins
The suffering of 127 hours
The mysteries of Lost
Jumps will be pretty common, as expected. But this time we’ll have more control possibilities over them.

MaxXAttaxX4759d ago (Edited 4759d ago )

True.
I'm a fan of both series and I can tell they're different. The only similarities is that they look for some kind of treasure in remote areas.

And well, they're using UC's atmosphere like they said
http://yfrog.com/z/h46nbawj

And by "vision" of Assassin's Creed, I imagine they're talking about the climbing mechanics. UC also has great climbing features and could be accredited as part of the influence. So both UC and AC.
Although AC is open world. So maybe TR will be open world?

Mysteries of Lost?
UC:DF? Naw I'm pushing that one. But I believe Tomb Raider has had mystery in their story before as well.

I'd love to see how the whole "physics" thing and the "Batman Begins"-type origins play out in this game :)

Dude_4759d ago

Uc has the exact same 'climbing mechanics' as CD developed TR attempts, only more magnetizing due to more linear level design and less moves.

AC also has that magnetizing pseudo platforming, I assume by vision they mean something about open world aspect.

just_looken4759d ago

lol at sideways images anyhow this looks to be the 360's uc2 ill pick it up when its cheap sense i just got the tomb raider trilogy.

Well it isn't an exclusive so it can't be. But If you mean that a title similar to Uncharted 2 will be available for Xbox360 then you are correct^^

I will only accept it as a Tomb Raider game if she has big tits and makes a very distinctive "Uhh" every time she runs into something :)

MaxXAttaxX4759d ago

It's multiplatform.
So to put more accurately. It looks to be PS3 and 360's Tomb Raider.

Surfaced4759d ago

Judging from their cited inspirational sources, I think this Tomb Raider game may tell a more solitary story. I don't think there will be a full cast of characters.

And there certainly won't be much humor in this game.

just_looken4759d ago

i know its on ps3 but uc3 will pown this on 360 though there is no competition

Double_Oh_Snap4759d ago (Edited 4759d ago )

Really love the idea behind this game, since gameinformer reveal. Would really like gameplay an more details though.

yume-k4759d ago

Just to let you know SE Japan helped those amateurs in CG and the main character design.

anubis564759d ago (Edited 4759d ago )

I bet!
cuz only SE can produce that level of CG quality and art.

kuge4564759d ago

SE always has a good game art,but most actual game serious of their partner can not be saved by this concept...

The Best Tomb Raider Games Ranked

We've gone on many adventures with Lara Croft. With another reboot in the making, Wealth of Geeks felt it was a good time to go down the nostalgia rabbit hole and remember the best of those tomb-raiding thrills.

I do agree that Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness was the worse one 😂 I remember playing some of it and I took it back. That game was just awful in every way. I bought it used at gamestop and glad they had that 7 day return policy for used games 😂

Pyrofire9573d ago

Would it be worth saying why?

ZeekQuattro73d ago

Simple. He's been hating on the Tomb Raider reboots for years. I can't imagine seeing them at the top of a best TR game list let alone being on the list in general sitting well with him because of it.

-Foxtrot72d ago

Zeek

“Hating”

No no, just pointing out how TR mutated into a generic action adventure game losing the appeal of what it once was when it was more about puzzles and platforming over going Rambo, slaughtering waves of enemies

But hey, continue being a dick and speaking about me like I’m not going to see the comment.

MeatyUrologist72d ago

Foxtrot, I'm curious if you have played the most recent games. Sure the 2013 reboot was hugely focused on combat, but each follow up became less and less about combat to the point where outside of a few large scale story missions I don't even remember combat being a part of shadow of the tomb raider. Shadow was so puzzle focused it actually was a bit much for me and I love the TR puzzles.

I still feel like Rise was the best of the series and I was a huge fan of the originals. To me it struck the perfect balance of exploration, platforming, puzzles, and combat. Not saying your opinion is wrong I'm just curious what you think they should have done different. Games do need to evolve somewhat to stay relevant. Would you prefer small linear jumping platform levels like the original?

RavenWolfx73d ago

I would agree Rise for 1 and the reboot as 2. Shadow is a bit high, though.

Sonic188173d ago (Edited 73d ago )

I think Shadow wasn't even develop by crystal dynamics. I thought it was the worse in the new trilogy

Pyrofire9573d ago

That's right. Shadow was developed by Eidos Montreal who who went and made Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy next. (Great game)
Meanwhile after Rise of the Tomb Raider, Crystal Dynamics made Marvels Avengers. (bad game)

MeatyUrologist73d ago

Agrees. First two are correct but Shadow should be around 5-6.

terstomp73d ago

For me, Legend should be alot higher (along with the other two ). Shadow, I enjoyed it, but has too much has fluff, as modern games tend to do. Playing the remastered series, and apart from the controls, is very good.

jznrpg72d ago

I really enjoyed the first 2 games, Legend and the first of the reboots and the rest I didn’t get into so I never finished.

robtion72d ago

Completely subjective list. I really liked Underworld, I preferred Lara's design. That said I loved the horror/uncharted feel of the reboot. I think all the TR games have strengths and weaknesses. None are objectively better in every way.
