Tomb Raider’s global brand director has highlighted the sort of puzzles we’ll be tackling in the upcoming reboot and how they tie into both the storyline and Lara’s characterisation.
Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."
Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.
I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence
can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?
Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.
@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.
The top producer of Square Enix flagship Dragon Quest franchise is stepping down from the role, following delays in developing the next installment of the popular series.
Please o please don't turn dragon quest into final fantasy square enix we dont wont that. Dragon quest works well just as it I. Plus you'll piss off Japanese fans to.
Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
Wait this is Lara croft were talking about here isnt it?
Zing!
Translation : " We know today's gamer doesn't have the attention span to solve old school Tomb Raider puzzles, so we left them out to cater to the masses. " ...which sucks because the original TR games were the best, and the puzzles were a big part of that.
sometimes change is not good, TR is dead
As a tombraider fan, this reboot worries me, if they want to change everything, just make a new IP...
I for one enjoyed the 80% exploration and 20% combat.
But to hear the iconic puzzles are gone is troubling.
This was a day 1 purchase for me, but now i might wait til the price drops significantly and certainly after reviews come out.
HAHAHAHA you won't be getting my money then
