im with you on this one, this section of the forums doesn't have much use left until we have something TR'ish to talk about, we're just passing time right?

I guess we'll have a lot of stuff to discuss on Friday. We're getting the clearest answers Karl ever said. :pi: So we'll be discussing as hell. :eek:

^Friday? What's happening on Friday?

So why not pass that time in the actual OC instead of spamming this thread?

Lara.

^I said that just to be relevant :p

Wait Friday? What's happening Friday??

*gets notepad and pen ready, puts glasses on and stares at karl intercepting his every move*

they're not as interesting to chat to than you guys. im acquainted to listening to you lot. Honest! Plus i use other forums for general chat :), i use this specifically for TR but yeah, i start to talk about irrelevance stuff i shouldn't to be honest. :)

OMG sorry this is my second double post today

We should get the Q&A session answers and podcast on Friday. Both should include 5 answers.

I always look forward to the podcasts even if they don't have much info in them... it's just a nice reminder that Tomb Raider still exists -.- lol

The Q&A stuff will be (mildly) good. The podcast will be a load of arse, like all the other podcasts.

Not even the hair and boobs?

That depends on what questions they'll pick up (unfortunately) :/

And the winner of Most Random Post Of The Day goes to... :p

I bet they'll avoid answering them properly.

to things we already know..

I'm not getting my hopes up.

Agreed about the Q&A, i was ranting about them before. BTW your previous post was your first reply to me, it took you that long to realise i was here? :(

Jk

Okay you all posted at the same time or something. wtf.

I was making a joke and you all ruined it. :mad:

LOL, you gotta be quick round these parts. Even when people are bored they still spam like it's going out of fashion :vlol:

Sorry :(

Aw. Sounds like fun.

so yah i tink dat if we just tlk bout somting intrestin rite now we wil b f1ne.

How about....
Lara's taste of music / personality.
In the trailer she was listening to like some techno beat thing,. And it was confirmed it was something the studio quickly made up for the trailer. I bet Lara's a remix/rock person ;) I'd love something funny like a CGI clip of Lara singing heavy metal and messing around in her room with pillows pretending to be a drummer and stuff that would be hilarious XD.

They'll pick up questions that aren't focused on the game itself too much. Honestly, I was pissed off when I was reading some of the questions. Some idiot asked what made them to decide to make this reboot, how hard was to decide how Lara will look like...or something like it. This is exactly the type of question they love and need :/

Totes Mcgoats.

My guess:

I'm just teasing. Just like they are.

That's a level of cynicism I admire, I expect that too :tmb:

If I could be bothered, I'd put money on questions like that being answered, even though it's already been answered.

If that's what it is like.. shoot me.

i wanna go into hibernation

Well, I'm sure I'm not that far from the truth :ton:

@amiro Oh God, I hope they'll surprise us this time.

@Spong Of course, they'll pick up this question. I bet they will! :/ I dunno if the people are morons or just...I'm speechless. Someone is asking if there will be Croft Manor in the game. Eh oh why oh why?!?

The people on the official forums aren't even as big of fans as we are... so they don't know anything even if it's already been answered. :vlol:

My anger is justified, im glad. i was raging at the questions yesterday

I know exactly which questions will be picked up.



;__;

^Some of those made me laugh. I can't say which though, it's unfair on the members because they're (probably) not here.

PM me...I wanna know.

HAAHAHAHAHA OMG I LAUGHED SO LOUD. :vlol: :vlol:
It's funny cause its true. :pi: *burp*.
:vlol:

:vlol:

You realise that made no sense at all, for TRU we got out first gameplay footage for E3, and they still managed to get the game released in November. They could give us nothing before E3 and still have the game out on time.

AOD was rushed? It took 3 1/2 years to make Core Design's next gen Tomb Raider game, they were looking at where to go with it before they finished TR4. It took just under three years for Crystal Dynamics to make Legend and TRU and TRA took a lot less. How were Core Design rushed? It was only a PS2 era game done for two platforms. If you think 3 1/2 years rushed for a PS2 game, why are fans complaining it takes 4 years to reboot the franchise for the current generation hardware. Just because a developer badly mismanages their resources and time does not mean they were not given more than enough time to make the game.


No point looking at how they did it last year, better to look at what they did for TRU in the build up for release. E3 is at the beginning of the month, the magazines whether released at the beginning of the month of the end should get the story for the issue released in June. Crystal Dynamics will likely co-ordinate the magazine coverage to make the most of the attention the game gets at E3. If any of the magazines with the exclusive comes out early we could see new screenshots before E3. Either that or they show the magazines a different area to what they are showing at E3, in which case we would get a look at two new areas. The media are most likely getting their demo now or next month, they need to see it a couple of months before they go to print.

For TRU they never had the game ready to show the public before E3, this time they do, although they might not want us to see anything more from early development of the game. We never got a look at that second demo they showed the media. I agree, if we were getting nothing before E3, they would have told us to expect the next news with E3. So they must have something planned. For TRU we got a look at the difference between the alpha and beta builds. And there is still the voice actress and composer to reveal. That they are unwilling to give us a more definite time seems to indicate they are still working on getting it ready (beta, combat or something else they are still putting in the game), or they are dependent on an outside party for the time slot (new trailer maybe, or other video footage).

No this is not open chat so I suggest people stop treating it like it is, stick to the topic of Tomb Raider.

You think Roth will somehow die later on in the story? Lara would have a complete mental breakdown.

& it would be extremely cliché

It could be the final straw that breaks the camel's back and she chooses from then on to go alone and not rely on anyone else. And the survivor is born. Da da daaah! etc

and this too, tbh, though I can imagine this happening.

This was what I was thinking, only less... sarcastically. :vlol:

Why cliché? Is it because that sort of thing is stereotyped? It seems a good opportunity for her to develop and gain that much more independence rather than be seen as a 'student' learning from her 'mentor'. On the other hand it would be a bit sketchy to get rid of a potentially big protagonist to be in later games but saying that its cliché is far fetched to say the least.

Well in that case, surviving on an island and getting out can be seen a cliché. 'im going to become a better person because i survived a harsh environment'. Thats more predictable rather than cliché TBH. is that what your trying to say, predictable?

I personally don't give a fudge what happens or if it's considered cliche. If I enjoy the story and nothing makes me cringe it's all good.
