Aftrunner Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Apparently they added that cover system to "foster emotional synchronization." In its early stages, Tomb Raider included supernatural enemies and resembled survival horror games, Hamel said, comparing it to the Dead Space series. But the gameplay mechanics made players feel detached from Lara and the narrative. Crystal Dynamics' solution was to replace supernatural enemies with humans. http://www.polygon.com/2013/4/1/4170450/tomb-raider-emotional-synchronization-gdc-2013 I am glad they did that. Cause the cover system caused me to emotionally sync so hard 3 of my teeth fell out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloy Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 She automatically takes cover behind objects. The developers thought doing this would make it feel different from uncharted Yeah true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK77 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 From GAF- Something pretty incredible is happening with the Japanese PC version ofTomb Raider. The game is "officially" coming out on the April 25th herein Japan, after being released earlier last month in the US and EU...and in Japan for Steam (only, I think).Thing is, the Steam PC version of the game disposed, at launch, ofJapanese voices and subtitles, despite being priced at a lower pricepoint than the physical release: 50$ against what amounts to 76$,according to today's exchange rate (which is exceptionally bad for theyen). It was a pretty nice, and a weird move...So what did Square-Enix do? They patched the Steam version some timeago to take out the Japanese language support and just announced thatthis Japanese option would be offered as DLC for 30 dollars.How f**ked up is this? I know how terrible Japan is with games pricesand how PC doesn't matter much here outside of MMOs, but still, that'splain robbery. How can they get away with removing freaking languagesupport some time after release to sell it as a 30$ DLC?Source for the pack info:http://www.sqex-ee.jp/2013/04/-japan...uage-pack.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selling every piece of game from guns to badge..heck they even selling PRE-ORDER BONUS for $0.99+ $0.99 for pistol silencer, really? :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(A)Kira Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Thats really f**ked up. Next we'll be paying IAPs to upgrade weapons and get new gear. They deserve whatever sh*t they got coming. Gaming industry is now full of greedy shitheads like this. I am saddened at this industry's future. EDIT: Didnt see that post. Now i lost ALL hope.

AK77 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 ^we are already paying for gun upgrades, costumes and even as lame as something like "animal instinct" as Joe mentioned above. I see 1983 crash happening again in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cat Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Tomb Raider gameplay shows late-stage battle Recently, Square Enix sent us a video showing what traversal looks like towards the finale of Tomb Raider, when Lara has all her gear unlocked.---- Tomb Raider Fan Art From Japan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(A)Kira Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I just finished the game and the ending was nice but the final boss fight (Cant even call it a boss fight) was a huge letdown. Just a random foe with a overly cliche piece of armor missing. But it was nice touch, dual wielding guns and shooting mathaias . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(A)Kira Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I didnt think anarchy reigns was that bad. Sure the story was sh*t, but it was a multiplayer game and that aspect was fun and the characters were quite diverse. Also bayonetta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
