God of War II director joins Tomb Raider dev

Tomb Raider was the only game at e3 last year that impressed me in terms of graphics and technical presentation.. Like a little step up from other current generation games on that front, which we don't really see anymore because developers push them to their limit now they've been out for so long. Its a superficial thing, but its made me remember the game. Interested to see what else the game has to offer apart from that one stage demo sequence

@shadowhunter0 I know they probably won't, but I wouldn't dismiss the possibility. Past GoW games can't help sell new consoles (this coming gen, I mean). They wouldn't port new iterations, but past games like 1 or 2 have already sold in droves, and have already done what they could for the PS3/PS2. As hardware movers, they have little to no value anymore.

Always loved the Tomb Raider games, but after my borderline gay fetish for Nathan Drake I don't know what Lara can do to win me back.. :( I'll no doubt buy it anyway, but Drake will always be the champ to me now I'd imagine.

@parrot_of_adun the fact still remains they haven't done it on any of their games and probably never will unless they stop making consoles

@shadowhunter0 At this point the install base for the PS3 removes that issue. Early in its life cycle, perhaps, but now the PS3 is nearing its end. Now, the only thing likely to prevent it would be the probable outcome of a cost/benefit analysis. But if they were to assess the demand, and it turned out that the projected income would outweigh the cost, I can't imagine they wouldn't go for it. The problem is that such an assessment is difficult, and it would likely be a gamble, not that PS3 sales would drop.

@parrot_of_adun well they haven't done with with any of they other games and the mostly likely they never will and the pc is actually kinda in competition with the ps3 if they start making their games for pc then less people will buy the ps3

@parrot_of_adun Right. I hope they will.

@shadowhunter0 If that's the case i'll prefer to leave God of War and the damn whole thing.

That unannounced game better be a new Kain title, in a style similar to God of War.

Great news for CD. I have a ton of respect for Barlog. GoW2 is not only the best game in the series but it's also one of the best games ever made, IMO.

@BibiMaghoo i Think same unnounced project is About Kain, N raziel i liked him too :) could imagine Kain Gow style:)

@NightFox313 Yes i would had spent money on Tomb raider 3 Remake like aniversary :)

@shadowhunter0 It wouldn't be all that surprising if they ported them to PC under the appropriate Sony brand. After all, the platform isn't represented by a direct competitor, unlike say, the xbox. Not that it's likely, but if they saw a significant rise in interest for a PC version, they just might.

Amazing full of awesomeness , release day buy for me. The only problem is that Lara doesn't look like angelina here. Really want her to look like Angelina.

@true_gamer007 that would never happen since Sony owns the rights to the God of War franchise and if you so badly want to play them go out and buy a ps3, which I recommend since the ps3 is an awesome system, and play them that way

Tomb Raider 2012 seems alright - but I'd like another one of those TR Anniversary-like games :D

you know what this means..., laura croft sex minigames

Cinematic Tomb Raider...... That part where Lara was running through a collapsing cave while the all the player did was rapidly press a button killed me on the inside...

Whatever you do, just bring God of War to PC.

Who......cares???

No they're just wrong. It's Lara.

Eww... when did Square buy Eidos? Square haven't made a good game since Rad Racer II.

I can't help but notice people are saying Laura and even typing Laura, her name is Lara, or is it different in other countries? (I'm Australian btw)

@rainstill agreed 100%. +1 for you Sir.

CRYSTAL DYNAMICS,Give us a new Tomb Raider 2. This is the best game of the series Tomb Raider. You have succeeded with this Anniversary

Why he left the SCEA?

Good luck to him and Crystal D. I obviously don't know the guy but he seems like a decent bloke.

tomb raider 2012 must be good since it got more pre-release awards then uncharted 2 or arkham city

I not sure when he was hire but the game has been in development for a while, so I this the release day might be delay, but it's fine as long as it's a great game

the brain behind the first God of War was David Jaffe, and GoW2 hystory was kind lame for me,

Dude looks high. Lora looks like some kinda dinosaur hunter. Like turok.

Every Tomb Raider game is a reboot now. May as well just treat it like Zelda and Mario.

Ew! I know I am the only one who will think/say this, but I did not like the god of war series. It was a really cool concept, and it was developed really REALLY well... but the circular combat was LAME, and the repetitive QTE-esque events became mentally tiring. (Killing minotaur after minotaur by pushing circle a 100 times each for instance.) But then again... I don't see why everyone loves Halo or COD that much either. They seem like every shooter I've seen for the past 15 years. So in closing... I guess I just don't want your God of War in my Tomb Raider.

Omg I can't wait for Tomb Raider! I really hope they release a gameplay video showing off the combat as opposed to just quick time events, anyone else agree?

This TR will be serious GOTY candidate:D

Legacy of Kain please. That is all.

Sweet! And my hype keeps going up :P

Exclusive to PS3 ? keep dreaming, it will come out for PC too. Haters!.

Wouldn't the new Tomb Raider be mostly done by now? I don't know how much of the core game he would have an influence on. I have been waiting to see another Barlog game since GOW II.

cool, with his help Tomb Raider should be extra good.

This is very good news, now we can have real improvements in-game combat, more realistic, less mechanic. Only thing i don't like is it isn't Jolie :(

I was worried about God of War II since Cory Barlog was the 'new guy' directing the game. However, I was blown away when I played the game. He did an amazing job.

I admire Barlog but this is a bad move come back to SONY.

Good pick up for CD. Looking forward to the new Tomb Raider game. It looks interesting, to say the least.

Awesome! Cory made God of War 2 the amazing game it was!

COREY. Finally released from the clutches of the Mad Max director

Sweet!! Tomb Rider will face Colossus of Rhodes!!
