Thanks for killing any chance of another Tomb raider game /v/

>>320392821
>>320393270
TL;DR: He took the fall for making the latest Tomb Raider game an Xbone timed exclusive when the existing Sony fanbase was waiting for its release.

It only sold 400,000 copies, when it would have easily sold over a million as a multiplat release.
>>
>>320392821
Maybe he should have made a game about raiding tombs instead of Uncharted: Female Edition.
>>
>>320392821

Why is it our fault?

Because they released a shitty game on a console with a small userbase on the same day as one of the most hyped games of the year was released?

That's my fault?

Lets not get carried away here.
>>
>>320394291
Maybe not solid, but I had decent fun on my playthrough of it.

I think the big problem really just comes to the fact that Tomb Raider is kind of an exhausted franchise. There's only so much you can do with it and it's been around for so long.
>>
>>320394456
Crystal Dynamic's TR Anniversary was a step on the right direction. IMHO.
It lost a lot of the eerie atmosphere, however the mechanics were incredibly good and the action/platforming were top notch.

I hated the new reboot. Too much survival, killing and not that much exploration and secrecy.
>>
Tomb Raider bombed because they tried to make it more "Progressive" but as usual the demographic they were targeting at don't even play games so actual gamers stayed away from it.
>>
>>320394772
Agreed, I think they just need to strike that balance to bring it back again, because you're totally right on the fact it lost most of the eerie atmosphere which I would argue is one of the most aspects of a Tomb Raider game.

Bullshit. It's suffering from the same problem as Sanic. The devs keep trying to reinvent the series when all they really need to do is look back at the classics to understand why people liked the games in the first place.

Why does this even matter? Aside from them being totally different games, CoD outsold FO4 anyway.

Either bait or willful ignorance. Fallout is as popular as fucking skyrim with the normies, literally the only thing that could outsell it is CoD. No one in their right mind looking for sales would put it a day before release of Fallout 4.

>T-t-tomb raider is shit

It is selling like shit, but true exclusives are rarely a mistake if the terms of the contract are good enough. Better margins can mean vastly more money from the same sales, budget might be partially or completely absorbed (the latter as the case of W101 and Bayo 2) etc.

The big blunder here is releasing it alongside way too much competition. Tomb Raider would have benefitted heavily from a September/October release where it did not need to compete with Fallout 4 (among other titles).

Did he even make the production decisions. It says he oversees development of the western make games. He's more executive director than producer. It also sounds like a planned departure. He was training his replacement even. Regardless of Tomb Raider's performance, he was leaving.

I half agree with this.

But look at Tomb Raider as a series and you see it has always been a flash in the pan going to a downward spiral in sales. I mean this is like what? The 3rd or 4th re-release of the series?

Just let the franchise retire with some dignity already.

Hopefully this means Tomb Raider is dead for a while, at least until they think of a way to actually make it unique.

Is there even any interesting Edios stuff on the horizon?

Then he probably shouldn't have fucked his own game by making it exclusive and selling it at the same time as other big market multi-plats. THe point of an exclusive game is to sell the console but if games are coming out across multiple consoles of which you might own one then you aren't going to buy a new one to play a single game for it.

He was shit at his job and he deserved to be fired if he was this incompetent with his release planning.

That's what didn't make sense for me regarding TRs timed exclusivity.

Timed exclusivity only really makes sense if you're the leading platform. If you're being outsold by the competition 2:1, then why wouldn't people just wait for the game to come out on their console?

If it were a true exclusive, this would have worked out much better for them. Oh, and a different release date.

But SE were the ones that confirmed first of all that there was a time limit on it at all, leading Spencer to be bombarded with questions in an interview.

Oh so Xbone has sold 400,001 consoles, neat.

>>320404832
No, he's SE. He's employed by them, works for them, and was the one who worked with MS to get the timed exclusive done.

>Darrell: Hey guys, let's make a new Tomb Raider!
>Square Enix: Great idea, Darrell! The last one sold great and there are a bunch of new Lara Croft fans. We'll make it about another adventure with Lara Croft!
>Darrell: Also, let's get an exclusivity deal with Microsoft for like two years!
>Square Enix: Uh, okay... if you think that's best.
>Darrell: Also we're going to release it the same day as Fallout 4.
>Square Enix: Quit fucking with us dude
>Darrell: No really

GEE, I WONDER WHAT COULD HAVE POSSIBLY CAUSED HIM TO QUIT HIS JOB AFTER A DECADE OF WORKING THERE? I GUESS WE WILL NEVER KNOW!

>>320405324
they overestimated the pull a Tomb Raider game can have. Literally none of my friends knew about it. It's treated like a triple A title by its publisher but most people don't really give a shit about it right now. They should have pushed its release date on a different date.

Nah, Mad Max released on the same day as MGSV and it wasn't nearly as catastrophic. When you combine both though, you just fuck yourself for no reason.

The classic Tomb Raider games are pretty unplayable now but back then they were incredible at creating suspense through atmosphere and music, even on a PS1. The way the music would suddenly cut in as a giant boulder would come hurling towards you or a T-Rex would come stomping out of nowhere; shit was cash.

They felt alot more like adventures than the new series. Travelling across the world to explore and discover historic dungeons and catacombs. Figuring your way around traps and puzzles with the occasional animal to fight. The new ones just feel like you're trying hard to not get lara killed every five minutes. She became a china vase.

Why are you all making excuses?

Not many people are interested in playing a tomb raider game. It's that simple. (Including myself)

Tomb raider is boring and the sales show it.

>>320407216
>She became a china vase.
Pretty much. They changed her from a character who could do everything, to character who couldn't do anything.

the thing is, the execs don't think of these games as "press x to jason"

they think of them as THE modern actionadventure games and that they totally compare to older titles in the series and genres.

good riddance. Everyone trying to gimp games into interactive fiction should be kicked out of the industry.

>>320392821
Well of course he's out.

Tomb Raider 2015 sold like runny fecal matter on the X1/360.

And this is during Holiday Shopping season, too. Right now, sales on both systems combined are at about 700,000 units.

What they expected by now was 2,000,000, and would have gotten if it weren't for those meddling kids and their Fallout 4.
>>
>>320395342
but anon, they can't show their CREATIVE GENIUS like that. What you ask is drudgery for lesser men, and they're ARTISTS.

Just don't ask them why they're not in hollywood or hiding behind an established cult series instead of comingwith their own stuff.

>>320397949
>Dropping Sam instead of playing up the lesbian vibes even more
>now they cant even sell it to the 3 sjw's that actualy play games

Jokes on you, watch the cutscenes on youtube, the game is chock full of thinly veiled hints about romance between lara and that fat pacific islander nigger.

>>320403593
apparently they will try to pull a marvel and create a "CINEMATIC UNIVERSE" with jc, hitman and TR.

new tomb raider shouldn't have obvious contempt for the previous games. they should fire that rhiana cunt as well.

I don't quite understand. It seems like he didn't really quit, he was probably forced to "resign" because he's taking the fall for the game being a timed exclusive and selling like shit, but was he really the one who made that decision? I would have thought that was more of a publisher stunt to go and make a deal of the game being a timed exclusive, not the lead developer. Then again, i reread it and it says he was also part of the publisher's output, so i guess he could have done it, but it still seems like that would have been multiple people trying to push that forward, not one guy.

If i'm wrong and it really was just all him, then i guess he deserved to get fired because that was probably the dumbest decision anyone has made in the video game industry in the past few years. Making the game a timed exclusive for the xbone of all systems, and releasing it on the same day as fallout 4 with battlefront coming out the very next week is just the most baffling idea, why would you ever say okay to that?
>>
>>320407216
They were trying to be just like hollywood. The new lara is supposed to be a real human bean and relateable, cause that's the hollywood way.

But the thing is i am not drooling while watching a movie, i control the character. She is my avatar, a glove for me to interact with the universe. She has to be BADASS, not relatable.

On top of that the game constantly takes control from you via cutscenes and QTE's, so that WRITERS story can unfold not mine. That's why all interactive fiction are gimped games, they're choose your own adventure movies with no real friggin choice.

Also the fucking hacks who wrote game have an obvious contempt for the old games, and gamers. That's one of the reasons lara is different to her signature weapons and clothes. Or there is a scene in the first game where the geek guy dies saying that's best he can hope to do for girls like lara.

No wonder the game flopped, it would fail even it released multiplat on a game drought.

Lord protect us.
Was the recent Hitman flick supposed to be the beginning of that?
You better be rusing me here mate.

wait the people that made cool and sexy lara went on to make the sjw new lara?

when that really makes me sad.

So I guess I will never see another game featuring a snobish yet cool and smart british lady with two pistols and hotpants raiding some tombs.

I really need to get a new hobby that hasn´t been ruined by sjws jet.
