why arnt CD making TRAE for Xbox 360. Then (if it's gonna be a remake) people will see a remarkable difference between the two generations. I think that CD are goin to lose a heck of a lot of fans by not putting the ANIVERSARY EDITION on Xbox. Do you thnk they will make it later for Xbox 360.
I do hope they will make it for all consoles.
I wanna here other peoples views.

Well for now I think it's confirmed for PS2, PC and PSP but who knows everything is possible.
Well, porting it to the Xbox360 would take a lot of time and cost a lot of money........They want to get this game to us as a bonus, before November, and I dont think they expect it to sell as well as Legend.........A lot of the old school fans played the games on PSX/PC, so they are staying with the Sony/PC core........

Cause november is really coming soon and they probably have no time to put it in next-gen...

If CD are making it - you can probably play it on your calculator soon enough
They probably have a deal with sony. I wouldn't want it to come out on any other consoles (no offense) cause it'd probably end up a little rushed (they can't really make it shorter cause we all know how many levels TR1 has, so rushed...)
Because making it too multi-format will either a) end up pushing the release date back to god-knows when or b) end up with it being stupidly short because they have to spend more time making it multi-format than when they actually sat down and made the game in the first place (this is most probably what happened with Legend - they had to cut down production time in order to have the time to convert it to the many formats it has appeared on).
Porting between formats isn't just a case of 'click a button and half an hours it's done'. It takes a lot fo extra programming time to convert stuff over, especially since if it was Xbox 360, people would expect (heh, demand) next-gen visuals.
I would rather they spent more time developing a good, well rounded game than worrying whether they can get it to play on people's dishwashers (or so it seems!).

I think they should release it for xbox as well, seeing as how i am now an xbox gamer. but they opened up a fanbase on the xbox with legend, and to deprive xbox owners the orignial game that started the series is just ridiculous, but hey you never know they may port it over at a later point.

Original Xbox might not be a big problem, but Xbox 360 would require a lot of extra work. I doubt they'll include either of them on the list, however.
i will be annoyed if i buy it for my ps2 and then its announced for the 360 :@ im not buying it twice lol
I hope they later realease it on the xbox, Like they are doing with the gamecube version of TRL. I really dont wanna but a PS2 just for that :(.
But if not I will buy a PS2
tomb raider legend wasnt for Gamecube, DS and GBA origionaly (or was it hehe lol) but it is now, same with LOZ the twilight princess for nintendo wii
so you never know

Originally TRL was for PS2, Xbox, PC but then Eidos had to add every other system in the world..
It can be released on Xbox , but not on the 360 because if it is it will be possible to activate the next gen on the PC
As long as it's on PS2 I'm happy. I just hope that the fact that it won't be released on Xbox and Xbox 360 will lead to a sooner release :D

yerrrrr!!! i know
Maybe because the original was on Sony and PC...and Sega Saturn.:vlol:
You guys do know the games are created on PC's right? They knock down the resolution for the system they are going to sell it on. ;)

My theory is if Crystal put it on Xbox then the PS2 fans would be up in arms and feel dejected that the original PS and Sony icon Lara Croft should get her re-make onto Microsoft Xbox as well as her home turf > Sony Playstation 2 :p
Shame too because the Xbox is also Lara's home now but that's PS2 fanboys for ya!
I have both consoles so I'm not fussed either way :)

Yes, they keep adding new platforms. By 2011, TR8 would be available on PC, XBox, XBox 360, Microwaves, GameCube, Mac, Mobile Phone, GameBoyColor, Macromedia Flash, Urinals, PS2, PS3, PSP, DVD Recorders, Cisco Routers and of course Linux.
Lara is known on Sony and the PC so its only normal its released for them and them alone...
They should put it on original Xbox too IMO.:)

This is ridic! They need to release it on the original Xbox. We cant be expected to buy a new games console for one game. And my pc prob wont run TRAE as it's old. *huff*

come on they practically sold 28 million copies of TR mostly only on PS and PC. Most people that have an Xbox usually have a PC so they will get it on PC, Plus PS2 and PC are Lara's roots not Xbox!

Most people who have PS2 have PC's as well... it does not follow that Xbox fans will automatically buy a game on the PC. I don't game on my PC ever. Console only for me!
1996-the Game was on :
PC-Psx-Saturn
2006- The game should be :
PC-PS2-GameCube
2003- it was on N-gage
2010-Should be on PSP :D :D :D :D :D :D
I've always wantet to play Tomb Raider on a console, and since Legend wasn't truly a TR game, I still haven't got TR for a console. Release TRAE on the original xbox as well!!!

Scratch Mac from the list. If it will be made at all, a Mac version of TR8 won't be available before 2050…

i really hope that they will release it on xbox 360. would you not like to see those magnificent scenes in HD and in next gen graphics. (drools)
This may be sad.... but i (and i know for a fact many others on this forum) went out and bought an xbox 360 for TRL and now TRAE isn't being released on it. CD will soon realize that they can get the games out sooo many months in a advance if they skip out the xbox 360. so we will probably end up with all future games on pc and ps2. i hope im wrong. isnt the whole point of theis game to basically show us how far tombraider has come, i terms of looks. then why keep it on 1st gen consoles. TRL was on next-gen.

I wouldn't worry about future games, ~tombraider~, they'll be out on Xbox 360 and PS3--there's no going back now. For this project I'm sure they want to move the most units with the least amount of time and effort put into the project. PS2/PC fits that bill nicely.
Why not for the 360? Because they hate you, really, they saw you wanted it on the 360 and said "NO TR FOR YOU!!!"
Just kidding! There are a 1000 times more PS2's than there are 360's so they are just going for the biggest audience, same reason they included PC.
Although I feel your pain, cochrane, I'm mac based too... :( But at least I have the PS2. :D
