Forums - Gaming - PRAISE THE SUN! :if you were unhappy the new Tomb Raider is going to be just like Uncharted, you should read this

http://www.metro.co.uk/tech/games/901065-tomb-raider-preview-paradise-island

 

" But as Lara tightrope walks across a fallen tree trunk and slides down an embankment made slippery by the torrential rainfall it's the last time any comparison with Uncharted seems relevant. The new Tomb Raider is very different not only from its own predecessors but also its legacy of other modern counterparts. "

 

"...As the demo continues it becomes clear that campsites such as this serve multiple purposes, allowing you to save, quick travel, and to upgrade both Lara's tools and her own abilities. "

" The tools are improved by scavenging parts that are left in bags or boxes all over the island (a necessary gameplay conceit but one of the few times the demos seems to break the fourth wall and remind you that it is a video game after all). "



 

Read the full thing, this game sounds like its going to be a great comeback =D

does it matter if it is like uncharted?  does it matter if it isnt like Uncharted?

some people say.. "pah, its just an Uncharted copy"... but these same people would fall over themselves with glee if another Uncharted came out tomorrow.

If its a decent game I couldnt care less if it is like another game or not.

Yes it does matter, because I wouldn't enjoy a highly scripted game with too much handholding, and linear level design.

and no I won't "fall over myself with glee" for another overrated game, sorry.

I am fine with copying other games, but don't copy the bad things atleast, for example I loved Castlevania Lords Of Shadows more than God Of War, even though LoS copied too much from that game, still its a better game, and they copied the good stuff (the giant boss fights and multiple combos)

I think it needed to be uncharterized just a little bit.

I am more looking for a return to the very first tomb raider with great puzzles, fantastic platforming challenges and awesome tomb exploring. I want to be shooting more mummies then men.


Which is why it needed to stay away from uncharted's "press X to solve the puzzle"

You should read the content instead of just the title, too.

Too bad.



It sure is a glimmer of hope but I hold my reservation.

I agree with you 100%

After all Uncharted was inspired by TR (well at least that how i see it) so TR have the right to imporve it self with some Uncharted style.
