Crystal Dynamics, the folks behind the “bang or bust” Tomb Raider franchise, have posted a job listing seeking someone able to “effectively create and lead the multiplayer vision and design effort” within its next project. Well, this would obviously suggest that the next Tomb Raider title, said to “reinvigorate the franchise” by publisher Eidos, will contain a multiplayer component although we have no idea what that would be or even its inclusion is 100% concrete.
Of course, we’ll keep you posted as we learn more, but what do you think??? Would you be interested in raiding some tombs online with friends and foes???
Meh, strange seeing as this is now pretty much Square-Enix owned. The gameplay doesn’t really lend itself to having multiplayer, but then again that’s what we said about uncharted and that did well enough. Hey after the last game, could they actually go wrong?
Well i for on think it sounds cool so far. I think
co-op whould be awsome as in you and a friend solf puzles together, exploring and do all the other stuff you do in a Tomb Raider game among getting frustrated that you cant figure out how to solf the puzzle lol! =P
Anyway i realy enjoyed TR Underworld and realy thought it was cool with all the Nors mythology surounding the the Viking gods. Or why not puzzles that requre co-op to solv them? One player could play lara and the oter the Dupleganger character sins Lara did set her free from that “controle spell” That was a sweet DLC! =) Im lookin forward to the next TR for sure. And hop the MP or eventual co-op will be sweet. There is potential so dont mess this up.
Did you actually find the puzzles in Tomb Raider Underworld difficult? Honestly I haven’t played a game since TR3 and I found Underworld to be a real walk in the park. There was very rarily any wonder as to the puzzles, and the difficulty in figuring out which way to go first, never occured as the directions pretty much led into each other. The game seemed much more cinematic rather than explorational, which led to my friend completing it in 8 hours, and myself giving up at the 3rd chapter, because it was just not the game I new and loved anymore.
Now adding co-op to the puzzling element, would be great….. if they could reset things back to the days of an actual challenge. Think Demon Souls but with puzzles instead of bad guys. In fact saying that, the parts of the game that took the longest now were the fighting when previously on the older games they were just something to break up the puzzling. I still remain a great fan of the agile Miss Croft, but I wouldn’t invest my money in anything like the last one. What do you reckon.
I cind agree. The puzzles wherent hard. But some of them took me some time to figure out how to solv them. Like that part with the giant swinging hammers whare i had to glitch the game to get past it. I even locked it up on youtube to se how it was soposed to be done. I did the exact same thing but it dident work. =S But i gues thay wanted to the puzzles to have a normal difficulty so that everbody of every age can complete them. Some puzzles wher a bit tricky like a few in the DLC with Lara. Im referig to that one with the dragon plates. That was a tricky one and realy fun to solv. And i personlay think the Doppleganger whould make a cool, interesting co-op character with her superpowers. I dont know what else to call her then a “super villan” sins she’s not entierly human, and have super speed and strength. Dont know how she’s made. But im guesing she’s born in TR: Legends? And i do think that the Dopplganger DLC you got to play was a realy cool change and was abit diferent to the TR:Underworld puzzles sins she have “superpowers” And i think thatthe Doppleganger is a raly cool character and she’s raely baddass just like Lara if not abit more. =)But i have bin wondering sins i finished the Doppleaganger DLC what she whould do now that she was free from the “slave spell” that compeld her to do what she was orderd to. Sins the (if i understand correctly) The Doppleganger only purpes sins her creation was to kill Lara Croft and follow orders. Im guesing that simular to the Terminators in the Terminator movies. Whare there only purpes is to complete the objectives and protect/kill there target. Remove the objective then thay dont have a purpes anymore. Whare and what whold the Doppleganger go and do now what she’s free? I dont know how human she is. But based on what i heard in the game she’s a clone of Lara created from a hair or somethin like that. So she’s a copy of Lara Croft but with “superpowers” and whould have the same ideals and personalety as Lara. So im guesing the Doppleganger is just as big andrenalin junkie as Lara Croft is lol. =) The only thing i can think of is that she whold team up with Lara in some way. Or do stuff simular to it sins she is a clone of Lara i dont know what else she whould do then the same stuff that Lara Croft do. And she DID blow up the house lol. Witch was a good move from CrystalDynamics. I think thay needed to build a new modern house with more modern, high tech over the top luxery stuff type of modern house. Besids Ms Croft is bound to get some badass insurence money anyway sins everythin got blown up. Thoughts on this?
