if you have virgin media and live in the UK i suggest you watch the latest episode of Playr on catch up. if you don't have virgin media then try to find it online. they discuss the possibility of tomb raider online
:)
Damn I don't have Virgin Media Digital TV, I have Sky Digital TV now. :(
Any ideas where I can watch it online?

I'd love a multi-player option so i can compete against everyone here and we can see who is the best tomb raider-er of all time. That would be AMAZING!!! and for those who don't want it, just don't play it!!!

Very true true true :D
GO FOR IT CRYSTAL!!! :tea:
I'd love a tr multiplayer!!! it would add unlimited replayability to the game!!
Worst idea ever :mad:
May I ask why?
If the hardcore fans don't want it, then it probably should stay on paper.

Right before I log on, true ;)
That'd be soooo much fun! I hope Eidos/CD does it :tmb:
May I ask why?
Because the TR is no COD or War Rock or anything... The TRs ARE single games :whi:

That sounds like fighting talk. Let's hope that CD decide it's a great idea too so I can make you eat your own words and some of Lara's bullets. We could set up little tournaments. I am excited about this.
Imagine pushing your opponents off ledges :cln:
Player 1: Hello thar!
Player 2: Oh hai!
Player 1: *shove*
Player 2: "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!" KER-CRUNCH!
Player 1: Heheheh
^ Don't you dare! I'll grapple your arse and take you down with me :D
Because the TR is no COD or War Rock or anything... The TRs ARE single games :whi:
Maybe so, but can't it be both? Once a multiplayer function has been developed, we can enjoy it for years while they produce new games :)
Also, the possibilities in a TR online game are too good to pass, I think.. It wouldn't have to be a mere shoot-out like Call of Duty :) (don't know about War Rock)

Well its true :D

True yes, but multiplayer would have replayability factor to the game, it optional if you don't want to play the multiplayer you don't have to.

Co-op could be great fun, but deathmatches? This is no GTA and it's certainly not that simple.
Jumping out of corners screaming obscenities, and scaring the p*** out of your Archaeologicomrade would be most awesome.

Well thats obvious.
It would be cool to play as any character in this multiplayer.

Could be fun - but I've never been a fan of multiplayer games, or online games... so, I'd probably play once and never again. :ton:
It'd be great for those who want it, but if the option was to take up additional and unnecessary hard disk space I'd be so annoyed.
I'd take you all down :tea:
Will be my pleasure, boy. :mis:

true... but just seeing multiplayer in the menu is very off-putting to me.

I can't see how that is supposed to work. But as long as it's fun and not destroying the game, I'm all for it.
By destroying the game I mean things like Deathmatches. Imagine 4 Laras shooting at each other until one's left. That would be soo stupid. So if they decide to do so, they should make something really clever.
And by the way, just because Resident Evil and Prince of Persia decided to include a multiplayer function, it doesn't mean Tomb Raider has to join them. :wve:
No,bad idea.They should add more things to the game instead of this.

Hey guys i'm new here and of course i looooove TR my name is jordin.
ON Topic: i think it would be cool to have multi player, wouldn't it be cool to get to challenge another person and test your skills :D it would be cool if we were able to pick different Lara's like "Glamour Lara haha, or maybe sensitive Lara. (maybe she could start crying out of nowhere bahah) anyways hi

this would be great it, would be almost like Mario Kart, and i love that game!:D
Since it would have nothing to do with the story itself, i think it would be cool. I seriously can't see what the problem is in having it. It's pure innovation, that's all. Tomb Raider needs some innovations, because if not, we would buy the same thing every year. :)

Does that really has anything to do with TombRaider going Online?
It is being debated because making/playing TombRaider isn't enough:) Finding new ways to become a TombRaider yourself is much much more relevant now. Imagine, a whole new perspective. Unlocking the doors to unlimited possibilities to solve and derive the game as you're progressing through with friends and foes standing in your way. This online / multiplayer feature cannot consist of deathmatches and finding the flagg or destroying objects but will and has to be something new entirely:D The obvious reason for this is mostly because Lara simply does not find a flag and returns it to a base.. However. whomever played the race for the Iris in TombRaider 4 can feel ideas rising to the surface of how online gameplay could become reality in a nearby future:)
Worst idea ever
Agreed. Might as well create a spin-off.

I don't see how it would work? So that means Lara wouldn't be the only playable character? Boo. I would not like that at all. This is my opinion/personal taste.
I mean, if they do come up with a clever way of nailing this, then I might be a little bit more open. But until then, I definitely prefer it single player!
Thanks for the heads up - I'll watch this on Catch Up later. :tmb:
Everytime this comes up people moan about having multiple Lara's on the screen. Why? Lara, if at all, may not be the only playable character. It may end up you play a customised character (like in GTA IV or MGS4) or a variety of characters like Natla, Kurtis, Zip, Alister with their own skills. Even if it was Lara they'd be differences between them and the camera, unless otherwise forced to, would be centred on your Lara removing any confusion on which Lara you would be. Hell, it could easily enough be co-op multiplayer! That could work incredibly well.
Multiplayer TR works well - take it from someone who's played multiplayer Tomb Raider.

if it does happen make it optional, for me i would like it because its a different experience, but some others are not fond of the idea, i wouldn't mine beating some of people arses online show'em what i'm made of lol :D
Fallen.Angel
10-08-08, 20:15
A different experience would be nice and my boyfriend could play with me... those are the only two good things about it IMO.
No matter what I'd still prefer if Lara was the only playable character. But I'm open.. if they come up with a clever way to do it.
Yeah.... plus it'd be optional. Always a plus.
I can picture Tomb Raider going online...but to have a million Laras...that'd be weird. I say they can implement it, but let us create our own Raider. Looks, weapons, clothes, name, bio, everything... :)

that would be great maybe it could help with the replay value. like different weapons come give different outcomes on how you win also clothes like if you have a really big coat and your in the [insert hot humid place here] you could faint in the middle of the game..or die and prevent you from winning. it could be what you would expect to happen when you accessorize them...this could work...

I see it being just like a time trial against others around the world. Like a race to complete the levels. Or a co-op mode where 2 players (Lara and a companion e.g. Zip, Alistair or even Kurtis) help each other solve puzzles and complete the levels. I don't like the sound of death matches, as Lara is not Duke Nukem and would not be in keeping with Tomb Riders theme.
off topic: I have just watched Lara Croft: Tomb Raider the movie again and it got me excited about the game even more. I love Tomb Raider and everything about it.

I don't see this as a bad Idea, if they explored a side where you need to do multiple things at the same time to reach an artifact (therefore multiple player without breaking the single-ish of TR) + this way everyone would have to play over and over again to rotate thruout all different positions ans explore the level to the max. And not explore the player vrs player shooting style. They could however explore PvP if if was to compete agains each other to see who reaches where first.

I'd rather they spend their time and resources on the single player game making sure they get that right before branching off into multiplayer. Personally I don't think any kind of death match, capture the flag, or MMORPG would be good with the TR theme. Co-op mode could be interesting, though, but I'd have to see how it's implemented before I form an opinion on it.
On a side note, it would be pretty cool if we could play as different characters from throughout the entire series, although I suppose if I picked Karel he'd have to be dumbed down to human-ish levels to make the gameplay work (unless they do something really cool where the level creates itself based upon which character you pick and what special abilities they have, but that sounds like it would take too much work and I want the single player game to be good).

Hey, as long as it's implemented well...doesn't take development time away from the single player part of the game, and is fun to play I'm all for it.
It would be a way to keep it fresh, because Crystal Dynamics could potentially release new 'maps' or levels for the multiplayer every few months, meaning that the game could never get old.
Another stab at AOD, eh? It seems even the media can't forget about that game -- loathe it or love it, it doesn't seem to be buried as deep as Eidos wants it.
Multi-player is a decent idea. If they did a multi-player, they'd have to involve new characters. The new characters could sell or sink the whole thing. Either we'll get generic characters (other "tomb raiders") or we'll get interesting fleshed out characters. Each character will probably have specific strengths and weaknesses. The multi-player would require online in order to add all of these "endless world" ideas. It would take a team of dedicated designers and etc to continuously update, work out the kinks, etc.
Speaking of multi-player, we gave that a spin once and it didn't go down so well (I loved it, but the majority didn't). I don't see it being successful in the Tomb Raider world. Tomb Raider, the single player game, already takes a lot of work. There are usually delays in order to get the game out.
A multi-player game, even if executed properly would stretch Crystal Dynamics too thin as far as working on these games. They'd have to hire a team specifically for the multi-player game. More money, more time, and no promise that it will sell.
I find it incredibly naive to allow so much to ride on a single title. Tomb Raider is heavily relied on for "bringing the money". I read an article recently that Sci Entertainment lost 100m, but they felt optimistic due to the titles coming out and TR: Underworld was at the top of the list.
On the other hand, Crystal Dynamics hasn't taken a decent risk with the Tomb Raider series as of yet. Perhaps this is what they need in order to stop playing it too safe.
uhh i dont think thatd be a good idea........not versus but a co-op...possibly
I'm not sure how could they do multiplayer to make it feel like TR... But if they find a way, why not - most probably I wouldn't play it anyway.
By the way, in Core's TR:AE should have been multiplayer, am I right? With Melissa Croft. :)
Oh, wait! Another bashing of AoD in that article? :rolleyes: It's really like a bad habit...
I'm halfway through the episode and the game still hasn't been shown...
I'm halfway through the episode and the game still hasn't been shown...
It's at the VERY end :)
It's at the VERY end :)
It came on as soon as I posted... :p
They say that Underworld will have an online feature...
I'd love multiplayer in TR. As people have said before, It'd give all us TR nuts something to do in between new games :D
And as for the person who said that if hardcore fans don't want it, then it should happen - what?! I've never heard such rubbish! 'Hardcore' fans make up a small percentage of the TR fanbase now, to ignore the opinons of other fans would be ridiculous. Besides, I hate the term 'hardcore fans'. Who's to say that the opinions of one fan is worth more than another? Because they played a couple more of the games? Tosh.
Angelus: I think they mean uploading photos etc. I think I read somewhere that TRU won't have any multiplayer features.

It seems that they are thinking on do a kind of Tomb Raider- Age of Conan.
With levels online always playable
