I think you are reading way into that. TR doesn't really fit any of those categories. At all IMO. 1. We've seen plenty of gameplay footage. From the studio, press, as well as some fans. Most people have pretty much said it played extremely well. 2. We've heard from a few different CD staff members for interviews from both the media and things like the Crystal Podcast. Also, just because they haven't interviewed a coder doesn't mean the game will suck. I can't think of many great games where that specific of a team member for game design was interviewed. 3. As for kill everything in one hit, Lara has a bow and a lot of the kills we have seen her do were head shots. Most of the time it took 2-4 shots depending on the weapon and where they were hit. Debra the deer took quite a few though....in some playthroughs anyway. They could have also tweaked enemy health for demos so they don't die trying to show off features, like they almost did in that hour long IGN footage. 4. Tomb Raider falls into the other spectrum they were talking about. Lara isn't chewing bubble gum and taking names, while spewing expletive one liners, in booty shorts and a crop top, as enemies explode into bloody chunks that rain down on her, causing her to remove her shirt and rub her body in it. Seriously though, they are saying if they don't really show gameplay but try to show off sex, gore, and adult language as a feature, it more than likely will suck. 5. Pushed back date? It had one. From November 2012 to March 2013. Not several like the games they are talking about. Look at The Last of Us, that just recently got pushed back a month. Pretty sure Bioshock did too. Tomb Raider will more than likely at least be a solid game that scores in from 7-9.5's (preferably 9 and above) out of 10. |

See how most the games lately have been following in TR steps by being delayed. The last of us, GTAV, Bioshock.

LOL @ Aliens: Colonial Marines being in 7th & 14th. Just goes to show that pre-order numbers speak nothing of a game's actual quality, it's just a measure of how effective the hype is/was. |
