I agree. Now it seems XBOX ONE users are going to have to suffer with Streetfighter 5. I have noticed as well when TR was announced on XB1, so many Sony fans went apesh!t. I don't see that much rage on SF5 being exclusive only to PS4.
Lookin sexay!

Gameplay looks like an improvement over the reboot. There's quick crafting, multi-kills, better stealth gameplay, and so on.
Also, is it just me, or does Lara's face look...odd? (dirt/mud notwithstanding)
Originally posted by SmasandianI agree. So far, it's looking better,
I wonder if this will outdo Uncharted 4 because it does look better....Granted we only seen the E3 demo for Uncharted but openish style gameplay of Tomb Raider might play better than Uncharted 4.
Plus, the original Tomb Raider reboot was loads better than Uncharted 3 IMO.

Outdo in what sense? Critically, commercially, story-wise, overall gameplay wise, being better in the areas that they are similar, etc.?
Originally posted by SmasandianI thought it killed it gameplay wise and edged out a bit story wise too (none are great here, but TR is slightly better). Gameplay wise, Uncharted has little to no replayability. It's a linear experience that blows your mind with awesome set pieces. Thats pretty similar to CoD story modes, except they edge out in story whereas Uncharted beats them in gameplay due to how fun the 3rd person experience is. At least Tomb Raider was more open and had a sense of freedom about it.
Critically and maybe commercially.
Uncharted only really beats TR in characters (outside of Lara herself of course). TR had some unbelievably bland side characters. It's like they didn't even try here and focused 110% on Lara.
I agree.
I can still play Uncharted games because the combat and setting are very good and after a few years, it's nice to relive the stories but they do lose a lot of what made the first experience so amazing.
The initial experience from Uncharted 2 out does all of the remake of Tomb Raider. One of those times where I couldn't stop playing (and I could because I didn't have kids then) and I don't really remember what I did that day aside from playing Uncharted 2.
Maybe Rise of the Tomb Raider will be that. It certainly looks very promising. Originally, I wasn't going to pick it up at launch but I do't know.....Too many good games!

IMO, both are up in the air. Fallout 4 comes out on the same day as Tomb Raider, so I'd think that sales will not be as high as they could be.
Critically, I am also unsure.
If I were forced to bet, I'd pick Uncharted 4, if only because it's Naughty Dog.

Agreed on gameplay, Tomb Raider blows Uncharted out of the water in shooting and platforming mechanics.
Disagreed on story, but to each their own.
For most of the game, Lara's on her own and left to her own thoughts on an hostile island, so it's kinda understandable that other characters get very little development.
Uncharted had better bonus content and featurettes, and Uncharted's replay value mostly comes from the multiplayer and bonus content (skins, gameplay modifiers, difficulties, etc.), where IMO, it outshines Tomb Raider.
Also, you have the option to replay chapters.
Was meant to say for next gen not just ps4
October-December wont have too much for us.

That's 19 games for 16 weeks. Most are fairly extensive games. That's a **** load of awesome games coming out. Not sure what you are complaining about. Doesn't anybody remember how 5-10 years ago we would be lucky to get a quarter that amount?
Bought, played, completed and also 100% the thing.
It's a very, very good game. The setting is interesting. I liked the location of being in snow and being around old Soviet installations. The graphics are fairly impressive as well, including fantastic lighting effects.
But I really enjoyed how the story plays out. Even though you are visiting various areas over and over, the developers change it up in meaningful ways. It plays much like the of the last one but that's not a bad thing. I like how it scripts events and gives areas to explore but with a Metriod like vibe. The collectibles are fun to get because the areas you go through are large but not too large. They are all complex so it's interesting to climb various structures and reach places you thought you couldn't get too. I'm a bit sad that some of that wierdness from the reboot doesn't come through.
The combat is great. You have plenty of options to sneak around and the abilities can be entertaining as well (creating on the go exlosives, setting traps using soldiers you killed and etc..). The combat does feel like there is a weight to it. It feels solid. When you headshot somebody, you get an immediate clue that you did. It feels good.
And raiding tombs is a lot of fun. There is about 9 of them and most puzzles are interesting to figure out. It's not too hard but still quite enjoyable.
Overall, it's a pretty fantastic game. I hope people play it because I'm interesting what they do next.
