Architecture Posted June 3, 2014 Well, the second good one, anyway, if it takes after the first good one, which is all that matters. You mean Crystal Dynamics is finally going to make a proper sequel to Tomb Raider: Legend? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twig Posted June 3, 2014 You mean Crystal Dynamics is finally going to make a proper sequel to Tomb Raider: Legend? Wait hold on people think Tomb Raider: Legend is a good game? This is fascinating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Architecture Posted June 3, 2014 It was a better game than The Tomb Raider (2013). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gormongous Posted June 3, 2014 This is the best slow-motion difference of opinion that I've ever seen. I really hope that this E3 is full of interviews half as odd and uncomfortable as this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melmer Posted June 3, 2014 Crytek's Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded Age announced I guess its just Left 4 Dead with monsters instead of zombies..... im ok with this http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-06-03-cryteks-hunt-horrors-of-the-gilded-age-announced third person : / i prefer third person Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merus Posted June 3, 2014 I'm pretty sure the age of megaton E3 press events is over. There'll likely be one, maybe two, pretty cool announcements at the events, but no-one wants to be the cool announcement that got overshadowed by bigger news, and there's no real need to do it all at once because of the internet. That's why you've seen a bunch of games announced for E3, but not at the press event. Anyway, official prediction: no megaton news at the press events. Every single announcement will either be something we could reasonably assume would be coming, a pleasant surprise that we'd need to actually get our hands on to evaluate fully, or a weird thing that isn't really designed to shift systems.

twmac Posted June 3, 2014 It was a better game than The Tomb Raider (2013). I concur with that sentiment - 100%. In fact all of the Tomb Raider games that Crystal Dynamics made before this one were better than it. Although, Tomb Raider (2013) is easily the best Uncharted game.

tegan Posted June 3, 2014 I guess its just Left 4 Dead with monsters instead of zombies..... im ok with this Most of the monsters in that trailer were pretty clearly zombies. Theory: Have "the infected" overshadowed classic zombies so much that we no longer think "zombies" we see corpses rise from the grave and shamble around slowly?

Although, Tomb Raider (2013) is easily the best Uncharted game. Going to disagree with that, too. The level design of Tomb Raider is so pedestrian next to something like Uncharted. Nothing can match climbing the giant statue in Nepal, or the ice caverns in Tibet, or even the discovery of a U-boat in the middle of the jungle. The combat was well-designed, but all the environments just deflated any interesting possibilities. Poor story, finicky controls, bland settings, too much combat and not enough exploration. I'd rather play Uncharted 2 every six months than ever play a game like that again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Murdoc Posted June 3, 2014 Sooo, there is pretty much nothing left to announce or predict for E3? Should be exciting then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bjorn Posted June 3, 2014 Best gif today. Most of the monsters in that trailer were pretty clearly zombies. Yeah, I saw that and got excited to see actual shambling corpse zombies, and not "infected". Plus some interesting monster thing (miniature zombie Godzilla thing at the end?). I have a really low bar for cooperative action games to cross, much lower than other genres. Basically, are you fun to play with other people? If so, then I will put up with a bunch of other bullshit for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clyde Posted June 3, 2014 I'm hoping for an Oculus launch line-up to be announced. That will keep me excited for a while. Speaking of which, did a bunch of Double Fine employees leave for Oculus? I saw some tweet the other day that seemed to imply that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merus Posted June 4, 2014 Sooo, there is pretty much nothing left to announce or predict for E3? Should be exciting then. Yeah, that's exactly my point: it's not going to be exciting, and it hasn't been exciting for years, because the incentives to go as big as possible haven't been there for years. They shut down E3 a few years ago because the incentives weren't there, but everyone missed getting on the hype bandwagon so they brought it back. At this point it's mass delusion. Speaking of which, did a bunch of Double Fine employees leave for Oculus? I saw some tweet the other day that seemed to imply that. Not sure about Double Fine, but iD's been gutted. iD's just a mess these days, and working with Carmack on something that's exciting and cutting-edge is why lots of those people joined iD in the first place.

I'd rather play Uncharted 2 every six months than ever play a game like that again. See, this is where we differ in what we want. Uncharted 2 paled in contrast to the vistas in the Tomb Raider series. Uncharted although pretty in places was utterly dreadful to play, the new Tomb Raider is solid and confident in terms of execution that the lacking of truly breathtaking vistas means it trumps all of the Uncharteds for me.
