Tomb raider release date announcements are always spot on, no 2/3 years bullshit of teasers and trailers and more trailers with no release dates, tomb raider announces their games and they release soon, thats hiw every game should be, monster hunter did that and didnt suffer at all, quite the oposite.
Better not be Xbox exclusive because ain't no way in hell I'm playing with terrible button lag again, Christ.... that was fuckin awful. Anyway, can't wait to see it!
It's fetishized with all the close ups and blood on the camera, but the same is true for a lot of games.
Hopefully finale of the origin trilogy means that the next game is set after some other part of the series. Like retcon the games to be a prequel series to the 2006 trilogy or something.
I suspect that this could see a Switch release, too. S-E stated that they "ruled nothing out", and wanted to put more of its new, old and inactive IPs there.
Not addressing you specifically with this post in general but I agree with you as well. However, and like I said, I don't think it was particularly on purpose, but the unfortunate voice acting in some of those scenes is what made it feel a bit creepy to me.
Edit: Just to clarify, that is nowhere near my biggest problem with that game or anything.
When RotTR first released on Xbox One it had terrible input lag.
switch would be great
prepare yourselves for the reveal thread folks
I played it close to launch and I honestly don't remember anything of the sort. Maybe they patched it out quick.
Awesome news. Please bring back the death scenes from first game of this trilogy. Captured the essence of the old games.
bottom line for me? this kind of stuff had never been part of the tomb raider universe until this reboot. quite the contrary, actually. cd basically turned the dial from zero to ten on this element :) ...
Disagree with you here. They got rid of it in the second game, but the first game had some really sexualized death scenes. It made me so uncomfortable.
Oh no, I think it's more sexualized in this game, but I just didn't want to get into a debate. Because maybe it's just us, we see a woman getting impaled with a large metal pole while making moaning sounds and our minds just go to the gutter.
They patched it but it was never really fixed, just slightly improved. I played it first on Xbox One and again when it released on PS4 Pro.
I didn't like Rise of the Tomb Raider as much as I hoped, but if they were to incorporate some aspects of Blood Ties into Shadow of the Tomb Raider like the moody exploration and puzzle solving, it will likely be my favorite game in the series. Of course, I would also like for them to expand on the platforming and stealth/combat elements, but that should be a given. I assume they're doing another open hub world again, I just hope that it's not too generic setting like Siberia was. I found Yamatai intriguing with a ton of a mystique and character. Uncovering the mystery of the island, learning about Himiko and the Stormguard, and learning about the disturbing events that took place there made the exploration worth it. Siberia on the other hand was mostly forgettable, and I was never engaged with the setting.
If this stays consistent with the comic series, I'm guessing Lara will finally take down Trinity and find out who The Cardinal is. This could open the door for future, classic-style Tomb Raider adventures for Lara, unless by 'origin story' they mean the conclusion to her entire story. Also, they teased the dual pistols in Blood Ties (she takes Roth's pistols that she used to kill Mathias with in the first game), so we might get to use those again.

Terrible input lag. I got frustrated by it so badly that's nearly broke my controller in half. Plus, it made the final boss fight like 50 times harder.
How was the platforming in ROTTR by the way compared to the first?
I'm allergic to the Uncharted auto-platforming crap and really would need to see a focus on challenging platforming return to the series for me to give another entry a shot after the initial reboot.

it would be hilarious if the leak on the powerpoint presentation in a bus was true and this was The Fall of Tomb Raider or whatever it was called. Public transport strikes again
This. I want dev to go full out with X's power. No holding back.
The violence in TR'13 was excessive but I didn't get something sexual from it. Some of it made me wince and that was the intent. I also remember people disliking Lara's panting but it never bothered me.
Interesting. They put a lot of care into TR so it's strange to see it handed off.
Finale for her origin story ? So I take it our old Lara will be back in the games after Shadow ?
