"The 2013 reboot garnered critical acclaim, and several Game of the Year nominations (we even considered it in our top 10 of the year), and now the whispers sweeping the internet are that a sequel is on the way, and if these rumours are indeed true, then it is likely to happen at this June’s E3 or in the lead-up to the event. So with all of this in mind, we identify five things we want to see from Tomb Raider 2."
AMHNetwork discusses 5 things they want in the rumoured upcoming Tomb Raider 2. Agree with their thoughts?
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 😂
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.
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.
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?
I think Shadow wasn't even develop by crystal dynamics. I thought it was the worse in the new trilogy
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)
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.
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.
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.
Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, Humanity, Watch Dogs: Legion, Dishonored 2, Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin, and more.
Today we’re happy to reveal the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog for May 2023. All games will be available on Tuesday May 16. Let’s dive in.
Holy crap, R&C Rift Apart is a huge score for those who haven't played it! It was so good.
i agree though I don't have a ps5 but i will activate this when the prices get out of apple range.
Well lets hope its soon, because you never know when the game will leave psplus.
I don't think it is fair to compare the PS5 to apple prices since an iphone hasn't been at $499 since the original iphone launched.
One thing I can say at your benefit though is that in gaming then longer you wait to buy, the better the deal, though if you wait too long your backlog will get out of control.
Rift Apart is the best chill game I've played this gen.
System seller on PS Plus is a huge win.
I think you can redeem over your phone, no? When you get a PS5 you will have games.
A huge score for those of us that didn't just buy it literally one day ago and it's on the way now :'(
But I guess it's good to own it, as well! And I don't think I want to get PlayStation Plus right now, so it's not a huge loss. But it is still a little saddening.
I got my PS5 today, actually! Been wanting to play Rift Apart for so long. And I played Astro's Playroom at a friend's house, and that was when I was like, "I NEED THIS." Such a fun little game with so many wonderful references to Playstation stuff!
Anyways.
You could just re-sell your copy that is coming in the mail. But it's up to you. Rift Apart is so damn good. It blew my mind how good it looks and plays.
I hope you love it, dude. Nothing beats a shiny new console, and the PS5 is 👌 May I recommend Returnal, challenging but not Soulsborne-level challenging, and extremely good making use of those new haptics you're going to be playing around with.
Hey I'm a relatively new PS5 owner here, but how does this new PS Plus system work? So if I go in at the Premium level for a month, it would mean I can play Horizon 2 and Ratchet & Clank just like that, right?
Yea, you don't even need to sub Premium if those are the 2 games you're after, they're included on PS Plus Extra.
Premium just adds the legacy library of PS1, PS2, PS3 titles that are on the service.
Played and platinumed Ratchet And Clank: Rift Apart at launch. Loved it so much. 9/10
Am I going to download and play Bus Simulator 21? You bet :-D
Was just thinking I wish Bus Simulator was PSVR 2 compatible. Imagine looking over your shoulder at the passengers you pick up? Haha
*turns head around while driving*
"Shut the Fk up back there!!!! You want me to crash the bus?!?!?!?!!"
Yeah apparently it's compatible with a fair few wheels. Game has been out a while.
Yeah the vr experience on playstation continues to be crap compared to pc sadly.
Bus sim 21 vr on pc
https://www.youtube.com/wat...
And do do that well its on pc duh crap $700 console should do vr on alot more than select titles
PS VR2 is actually really awesome man. I have one. It's only new, so maybe I will wait for Bus Simulator 21 to get a VR update then. Judging by that video, the game looks fun in VR
Will definitely download Bus Simulator as well.
My son will surely have a blast with it.
I think this news has reunited two long lost brothers, OtterX and potatoseal 🤣.

Well technically the best deal remains by far EPIC games free offering since well it's free but aside that it's a hell of deal :)
Its funny, a few months ago this would have got so many down votes but it probably is now, the Extra/Deluxe service is flourishing. Even a day one game this month is added
@phillyDonJawn that's games added, not total. PS sub has more games on it than Gamepass but keep reaching 😂
@ PhillyDon, lol there are something like 534 games on PS Plus Extra right now. That is not including PS Plus Premium
Seriously didn’t even realise how good the PS offering was.
I’m on the highest tier but the only things I gravitate toward are the two monthly games.
It was only recently that I found how to properly browse the PS+ section on the dashboard and there’s a ridiculous amount of high quality content on there.
I own a good amount of them either physical or digital but still a great selection.
Yup. Ps extra is cheaper than gamepass ultimate as well...until those quality Xbox 1st party start actually kicking in ps+ is the most affordable and highest quality service.
I'll be trying out legion and humanity for sure.
So how does it work? Are these all available now? Or is it a rotation system? I literally only got my PS5 today and am a bit of a newb of this console generation.
These are all available right now I'm pretty sure. But I will post the actual lists of games. You will know in advance if anything was to be taken off this list too. A good time in advance.
PS Plus Essential (lowest price) - is the normal PS Plus and you get games every month. Here are the games for this month...
https://www.pushsquare.com/...
PS Plus Extra (mid price) - Is same as essential, BUT has all these extra games from this list, except for the PS1, PS2, PS3 and PSP games, (there aren't that many). More releasing every month. Here is all the games from PS Plus Extra
https://www.pushsquare.com/...
PS Plus Premium - same as essential and extra. But has all the PS1 and PS2 and PS3 and PSP games. More games releasing every month. Here is the list of games from this one...
https://www.pushsquare.com/...
Glad you got a PS5. It's a good investment. So much to play and so much to come. Have fun man
Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin Is fantastic, I can't recommend it highly enough.
Even though you have never heard of it it went on to sell well over a million copies.
If even one person reads this and plays it and has half as much fun as I did I'll be super happy.
Crystal Dynamics' daring reboot of Tomb Raider brought Lara Croft back into the spotlight.
An attempt at a reboot with no momentum for continuance. Just a torture-porn trilogy about a poor rich girl with daddy issues reluctantly being pulling into a world of violence, versus say the adventures of a quipping Brit treasure hunter who solves ancient puzzles while gunning down rare and extinct animals that it originally was?
Honestly, don't have all that killing. If the devs had been truly clever, not focused on mangling a message about the senselessness of killing which was seemingly and quickly forgotten, they could have worked, if not bloodlessly then not directly by Laura's hand, dealing with enemies as part of the puzzle solving - they didn't have in the game in the first place...
"Revived a '90s Gaming Icon"
LOL
the only thing similar between the 2 is the name of the protagonist. if they would have given the game a different name, NONE would even think that it was somehow a resurrected Tomb Raider IP. the last game with the real Tomb Raider DNA was TR Underworld.
Ditch the multiplayer and make the game longer.
