yeah. more on that.
"an epic action-adventure that combines cinematic storytelling with continuous single-player and co-operative gameplay. Assemble in teams up to four players, master extraordinary abilities, customise your heroes to fit your playstyle, and combine powers to defend an ever-expanding world under constant threat."

this is... sad

Count me out. Not a big fan of those kinds of games.

I'm hoping, and partially expecting news on HZD 2.

These types of games make good money despite their quality. Having a high budget co-op game featuring the Avengers is the easiest method to print money and to drown in it. There was no way Squeenix wasn't going to capitalize on this

If we see anything TR related on E3, it will probably be a remaster of sorts.

Or I hope my classics 3DS port dreams come true...

I'll be very interesting what kind of traction this game gets. Avengers is popular, but depending on players for a game to even work is a risky business. Anthem is basically dead now because it's lacking players.

I don't expect any new TR game news at E3 (maybe something about that SOTTR 8th DLC slot though?). At this point my biggest hope is Classic TR remasters, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

The 8th tomb slot. They probably added the "coming soon" in the tombs menu because that's the only place they could do it. I think they are changing the main menu to add more stuff like chapter replay and croft manor and the coming soon will be removed from the tombs menu because it's not a tomb.

If i'm honest, Tomb Raider as a game is heading in the same direction as AOD now and they need to do something about it instead of making shortcuts for quick profit by creating a not so good Shadow of the Tomb Raider with endless DLC that is quite simply an overpriced joke when it could be made as an NPC mission for the main game itself at this point but I can tell you one thing and that is that the love for the franchise has gone in terms of the developers, Square has been careless towards a lot of games they have released as of late with a big drop in quality via splitting it all up to a half complete game with the other half as incredibly priced and pointless DLC.
