................yep..................

I think the Tomb Raider series is just fine under Crystal Dynamics and there is a new one in development being published by Square Enix.

No Iv never been able to see the fascination with Tombraider anyway , I bought the last one because it was on special in the game store just to see what it was like...........I took it back after a week.........is there a more pointless game out there ?
But its like everything , every franchise has a shelf-life & this games shelf-life is running out , but hopefully we wont be gettin bothered with nerds & geeks anymore , who cant get sex and this game is there only interaction with females.........
On the other hand I got unchartered.................it was ok, better than Tombraider but I dont think I will be rushing out to buy anymore if they come out

Tomb Raider was too ahead of its time for its own good. When it hit PS1 it was kinda groundbreaking. It was too ahead of its time cause it seemed like they blew that formula's load within 2 games and it got old after the 3rd game. The games in the ps2 and now this gen have been terrible. Years after the 1st one they stuck to that old formula and didnt add an ounce of new concepts or innovation????:dunno:

Thats why its a forgotten franchise that'll never be on the map now that Uncharted has taken over that genres reigns. Uncharted takes what tomb raider did,innovates and perfects it. Much better franchise.

I've never liked the Tomb Raider series , so for me it was never alive to begin with :1orglaugh.

I kept buying the Tomb Raider series off clearance racks with the thought of trying them out some day. I have not gotten around to it yet. Uncharted looked like a beautiful game, I played some of that and liked what I saw.

Forgotten franchise?
The Tomb Raider series is arguably the most popular and succesful game series ever created.
Tomb Raider 1 is one of the best selling games of all time.
Tomb Raider series are more succesful and more popular than all the Devil May Cry bullshit,Ninja Gaiden crap and God of War rubbish combined.
All Tomb Raider's were/are bestsellers apart from maybe Tomb Raider The Angel of Darkness,that game was rushed to debut on the PS 2.
Tomb Raider Legend on PS2 was one of the best games ever,graphics wise and gameplay,it got an almost perfect score.
What happen to Tomb Raider was that they wanted the game to be more action packed and not adventure driven.
So after Tomb Raider 1 they made Lara have bigger weapons and fighting more bad guys than raiding tombs,the majority of fans obviously liked it,because EVERY single Tomb Raider copies thereafter sold millions.
But the critics bashed it,saying it was getting old and repetitive,then came 'button mashing' games like God Of War and Devil May Cry which had improved graphics and no storyline,so everyone jumped on the band wagon.
I have been collecting Tomb Raider from PS 1 days,and will continue collecting the games. No game has set the standards that Tomb Raider has set,none.

Nope. Uncharted wont ever beat Tomb Raider. Not even at Lara's weaket entries to the series [Angel of Darkness and Legend]. Uncharted does, however, beat all Indiana Jones games. Not Tomb Raider. Uncharted has looks going for it and little else, the gameplay doesn't play out like a TR game. It plays out like an Indiana Jones game. And all Indiana Jones games suck when compared to Tomb Raider. Jones came first, but Lara does what that old fart did and she does it all better. Uncharted is the PS3's version of Gears of War [an overrated adventure title with fancy graphics].

I meant forgotten as in nobody will give a crap whether there's gonna be more tomb raiders or not. And the gaming world already made that evident.
The games that came out late ps2 and all of 360/ps3 got no hype what so ever and turned out to be mediocre games at best.

As far as the old ones and what the franchise did for games,I'll never take anything away from tomb raider. I started the thread saying that tomb raider 1 was groundbreaking when it came out. It kinda help make playstation what it is today. Theres a difference between a genre defining game and groundbreaking.............

Perfect example. Killzone2 is a genre defining game. It perfects what 1st person shooters should be like but isnt groundbreaking because what it does to be the king of the hill isnt rocket science type content.

Killzone 2 is as boring as the first one. That is the reason I got a quarter of the way through it then sold it to a pal. A waste of thirty two pounds if you ask me. This whole Killzone being hyped by Sony is laughable. There are better FPS games out there than Killzone. Way better. What ones? take your pick from the many available [except Halo as it is just as boring and overrated].

I see youre very biased against sony.....if you traded in killzone2 that fast than Id guess youre not much of a shooter gamer. Im not saying youre crazy for not liking the game I respect your opinion,but Im saying that cause if you like shooters and dont have a biased anti-sony opinion than you would have gave it more of a chance than 1/4 through the game bud. Killzone got hyped by Sony,it came out,kicked everythings ass,than the gaming world kept the hype going......all phases delivered.:hatsoff:

 

[Ravenholm]

I see youre very biased against sony.....

When the Saturn came out I opted for a Playstation first. When the Dreamcast and Gamecube came out I opted for a Playstation 2 first. And when the Xbox 360 was due for release I waited untill the Playstation 3 to arrive first, then I bought it, then I bought the 360 a few months after that.

Biased against Sony? I don't think so my friend. I am far from biased. I just have a dislike towards the feedback that leads to some games being overrated and overhyped. I might like those games, but I don't always think they are deserving of the hype that surrounds them. Being biased against Sony is heading in the opposite direction from the way I have gone in the past and continue to go in the present.

I am one of those people that have stood and defended Sony many a time online [and offline as well]. My view has always been that the Playstation was the best console ever. It brought gaming forward [especially for me] and it also made Nintendo and Sega realise there was more to gaming than just those two companies. This is why Sega crashed and burned as they were not used to the vicious competitive battle field tactics. They were used to it just being between Sega and Nintendo and the rest were a joke [Atari, ect]. Untill Sony arrived and changed all of that. It made Sega actually work to sell their products and same goes for Nintendo. Then Microsoft arrived as well and the rest, as they say, is history.

I never traded Killzone 2 in otherwise I'd have got ripped off. As the shops would only have given me like 15 pounds for the game. I sold it to a pal for thirty quid, I paid thirty five for it, so I knocked five off the price. It was more or less new anyway so he was saving himself cash if he wanted to buy it from the shops asking price of thrity five new and thirty two second hand.

Killzone 2 is a pretty graphics engine with mediocre gameplay. I am not a gamer than is fooled into believing a game is the best or amazing, ect, if it is running on a great graphics engine. There's more to games than just graphics. Uncharted just a modern day Indiana Jones running on a fancy graphics engine. Yes it shows just some of the potential of the PS3 has. That's about it though. I have played many a FPS game that gave me, and they still give me, more joy and entertainment than, Killzone and Killzone 2, and all the Halo's combined ever will.
