Yeah, I had a lot of fun with it and I am bummed that the sequel is (apparently) xbone exclusive as I was leaning more towards a PS4 so now I dunno and will wait to see how it is and if it actually will be exclusive before committing. Some of those quicktime events and death animations are rough though.

I will still be surprised is Rise never comes to PS4, especially with how determined they seem to be about not saying outright that this isn't going to happen.Like if it wasn't coming to PS4 they'd say that to try and sway people that they need and Xbone but they really have avoided saying that.

It's also being released on Xbox 360 so we won't be getting a proper next-gen sequel until the 3rd game. :sigh:

I had quite a few graphical artifacts throughout the game and it really put me off. I should maybe try and play it again sometime, the game seemed really beautiful other than that.

It's a fun game. The controls take a bit of getting used to, though. Maybe it's different on other platforms, I own the Saturn version.

The recent tomb raider game is what naughty dogs was trying to do with uncharted but failed 3 times in a row: make a good game.

New Lara Croft game is really good too. Squeenix got a really good IP going.

For me they are both good doing things better than the other in some areas while neither really does what the other does better badly. TR has better shooting and platforming but I still enjoyed it in Uncharted a great deal. Uncharted has better puzzles, set pieces, writing and pacing but TR still doesn't do any of these things too bad. They're also both really pretty. They're both cool games and cool people like both.

Dec 22, 2004

Nah. Most people like tomb raider and will admit uncharted isn't as cool or good. Mainly because there aren't really any puzzles in uncharted and the shooty bits are really bland. Voice acting is good though and honestly naughty dog should just be a cartoon or movie studio since they're not really good at the whole making a game thing.

Honestly I've seen far more people hate on Tomb Raider than Uncharted. People seem to oddly not like that game for reasons I've never fully understood.

Tomb Raider was a great game but a part of me still wants to play the early stuff they showed off where it was an open-world game on horseback with you fighting Shadow of the Colossus monsters.

The Saturn version of the original Tomb Raider actually has hosed up textures because the Saturn used squares instead of triangles for polygons so as a quick fix they set the length of the extra line to 0 and it stretched everything out.

I heard a lot of third-party (multiplatform) Saturn games had to do something like that. And that most if not all third-parties never actually utilized both processors on the console.

Saturn was a system made thinking that sprites were still going to be the way games were. This is odd considering Sega had polygon based hits before the Saturn came out. Saturn had the best sprites out of the three at the time but that hardly mattered because the world had moved on to ugly polygons. Sony just got lucky and had a system that handled the two things the other two couldn't that really made that gen stand out. It did polys better than Sega and FMVs better than Nintendo. Both of those were things that just weren't important in the previous gen, so their experience kind of worked against them.

A guy released a 4GB map pack for the original Tomb Raider and made FMVs of himself talking to Lara about the game, it's amazing.
