Much like how the Phil Fish AMA on Reddit yesterday told us that they were in talks with Sony about a PlayStation version of Fez, the Tomb Raider AMA with Karl Stewart, Global Brand Director, and Noah Hughes, Creative Director, gave us some more interesting news.

I can't wait to see what they do with the next one.

Really? Thats quite surprising considering that the PS3 version looks a bit better. Not that it matters to me or anything.

Must have been well designed, then. I also think PS3 outperforms 360 (by a little). At the same time, PC version has HairFx which the consoles doesn't have.

knowyourstuff4045d ago

I know right. PS3 had way higher resolution textures according to every website that ever compared them.

Also, if they really want people to take Lara Croft seriously, which it appears they do, they can't expect anyone with an IQ above 60 to think that a skinny little chick who looks like she can't lift 10 pounds can pull off the unbelievable athletic feats in Tomb Raider. It just looks ridiculous. She needs at least SOME muscle definition if you expect me to believe she can do the things you claim she can do. I mean come on!

CryofSilence4045d ago

1:05 on your video proves your point. It's interesting that the lead seemingly isn't as good as the ports.

dbjj120884046d ago

Well, that explains why the PS3 reviews took so long.

didn't the PS3 version come out as superior according to Face-off?

jakmckratos4046d ago

It is selling better on PS3 too

Skips4046d ago (Edited 4046d ago )

Yea.

They probably spent more time tweaking and pushing for the PS3 version. Polishing it and whatnot. If they saw they could push it even farther on the PS3 than why not?

@jak

Guess that exclusive DLC didn't help. lol

SonyPS3604045d ago

They must have left out the PC version then, because it is easily the best looking.

jc485734044d ago

i think they did, but felt it was rather unfair to compare console to PC.

The Best Tomb Raider Games Ranked

We've gone on many adventures with Lara Croft. With another reboot in the making, Wealth of Geeks felt it was a good time to go down the nostalgia rabbit hole and remember the best of those tomb-raiding thrills.

I do agree that Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness was the worse one 😂 I remember playing some of it and I took it back. That game was just awful in every way. I bought it used at gamestop and glad they had that 7 day return policy for used games 😂

Pyrofire9552d ago

Would it be worth saying why?

ZeekQuattro52d ago

Simple. He's been hating on the Tomb Raider reboots for years. I can't imagine seeing them at the top of a best TR game list let alone being on the list in general sitting well with him because of it.

-Foxtrot51d ago

Zeek

“Hating”

No no, just pointing out how TR mutated into a generic action adventure game losing the appeal of what it once was when it was more about puzzles and platforming over going Rambo, slaughtering waves of enemies

But hey, continue being a dick and speaking about me like I’m not going to see the comment.

MeatyUrologist51d ago

Foxtrot, I'm curious if you have played the most recent games. Sure the 2013 reboot was hugely focused on combat, but each follow up became less and less about combat to the point where outside of a few large scale story missions I don't even remember combat being a part of shadow of the tomb raider. Shadow was so puzzle focused it actually was a bit much for me and I love the TR puzzles.

I still feel like Rise was the best of the series and I was a huge fan of the originals. To me it struck the perfect balance of exploration, platforming, puzzles, and combat. Not saying your opinion is wrong I'm just curious what you think they should have done different. Games do need to evolve somewhat to stay relevant. Would you prefer small linear jumping platform levels like the original?

RavenWolfx52d ago

I would agree Rise for 1 and the reboot as 2. Shadow is a bit high, though.

Sonic188152d ago (Edited 52d ago )

I think Shadow wasn't even develop by crystal dynamics. I thought it was the worse in the new trilogy

Pyrofire9552d ago

That's right. Shadow was developed by Eidos Montreal who who went and made Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy next. (Great game)
Meanwhile after Rise of the Tomb Raider, Crystal Dynamics made Marvels Avengers. (bad game)

MeatyUrologist51d ago

Agrees. First two are correct but Shadow should be around 5-6.

terstomp51d ago

For me, Legend should be alot higher (along with the other two ). Shadow, I enjoyed it, but has too much has fluff, as modern games tend to do. Playing the remastered series, and apart from the controls, is very good.

jznrpg51d ago

I really enjoyed the first 2 games, Legend and the first of the reboots and the rest I didn’t get into so I never finished.

robtion51d ago

Completely subjective list. I really liked Underworld, I preferred Lara's design. That said I loved the horror/uncharted feel of the reboot. I think all the TR games have strengths and weaknesses. None are objectively better in every way.
