Publisher Square Enix and developer Crystal Dynamics celebrated Thursday the one-year anniversary of the 2013 reboot of "Tomb Raider" with news of game sales set to pass 6 million units.
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."
Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.
HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.
It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to 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.
Good to see that its finally making money, I hope for a sequel that evokes the feelings of TR1 and TR2 for the next one
Those are amazing numbers! I hope Square Enix realizes the same and makes a sequel but please DON'T add on unnecessary multiplayer this time!
Congrats to all involved... I had a blast with this game!
Still haven't played it - have such a large backlog of games (having multiple systems doesn't help)
I'll get to it, hopefully around the summer.
Congrats to the Square, the game was great and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm hoping to get my hands on the ultimate edition as well soon.
