Tomb Raider Reboot Plunders 8.5 Million Sales

Its only a £10 in the Easter sale right now!!!

@get2sammyb 26 seconds ago... Sammy do you ever sleep!? So worth buying then? I'm playing through sleeping dogs I got for £9:50, and season one walking dead got £9... But after that this could be next

It sold that much, yet they still sold out to Microsoft. Totally makes sense, good job Square.

And the majority of those sales were on PlayStation but lets stick the middle finger up to that audience. F'ing idiots.

I bought this on my 360 and then again on the XB1 in a recent sale for £10. Its certainly a very good game. Its not a traditional style Tomb Raider as it deals with how Lara became the Tomb Raider. Therefore there isn't much in the way of Tomb Raiding but the story is very good and her development and triumph over adversity is handled very well. Each playthrough has left me wanting the sequel and hope it carries on from here but with more of the Tomb Raiding added in. I would certainly recommend buying it if you haven't played it...

Bet you they wish RTR was a multiplat at launch now that UC4's delayed til each year... Or they could be overjoyed they don't have to worry about UC4 stealing it's thunder.

I dunno I liked the first 4 tomb raiders then I lost interest, the remake just felt like an assassins creed game.

Is a reboot not a remake and it feels like an Uncharted game although in my opinion better

The tomb raider fan in me wants to jump for joy because this was a tremendous game, one that I greatly enjoyed. I'm going to try not to go on a tangent about the sequel being exclusive. I will say this. As an owner of all current gen consoles, as well as a pc, the exclusivity deal is such a slap in the face, strong arm marketing in my opinion, that I will not be buying it or at least not new. If I buy it it will be used, and in a manner that I know square won't get one cent of my money. We aren't talking about a reboot of a long dormant franchise, or a new ip from a 3rd party studio. We are talking about the sequel to a game that may not have happened were it not for its remastered sales numbers that sold extremely well.

I feel like they are trying to force those who don't already own both consoles to buy it so they can play their game. That's the way I'm taking it. And I don't agree with it. Sunset overdrive being x1 exclusive bothered me not one bit, why? It's a new ip, and actually was the reason I bought my x1 at launch. We should all be equally upset about this no matter what platform you pledge allegiance to because it's just bad practice on the developers side. Sorry, wound up on a tangent. This just really gets to me. I also feel the same about timed Dlc, exclusive Dlc content etc as well. I play destiny on my ps4 but find it absurd that us ps owners get more content for spending the same money as x1 players.

I liked it as a game, but not as a Tomb Raider game. It was well done, but at laest for me, it lacked exploration and puzzles that previus games had, those optional tombs were just one room puzzles and easy ones, min you I didnt cared enought to find them all.
Since it was a reboot and we saw a young Lara trying to save her friends and survive the cult, I can see why exploration was left out, it would make no sence, that's why I still want to see the next one, just hoping for more puzzles.

That was kind of how I felt about Resident Evil 4. Great game, not what I would call a great 'Resident Evil' game. Although I will always defend the switch to the over the shoulder view and doing away with the absolutely horrendous tank controls.

With Tomb Raider I had liked some of the previous games such as 1, 2, Legend and Underworld but there wasn't a huge connection so maybe that's why some of the elements lacking didn't bother me as much as the true diehards who even found a way to enjoy Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness. They've said this new one will have more actual tomb raiding. What they mean by that we'll find out. The developers' idea of tomb raiding and what the fans want may be two different things.

They're not even self aware anymore are they?

i would say the gameplay is better than uncharted, but the story was weak.

@Gamer83 When I think of Lara now I think of a WWE crowd chanting "YOU SOLD OUT!!!" Repeatedly.

@RawWilson1 Until they release it on PS4 and get decimated by Uncharted 4.

@WebHead
Yeah, and unfortunately that's exactly what the situation is. Those who want to rush to SE's defense love to point out it's a business decision and that's true as well. Doesn't change the fact, however, that it was an incredibly stupid and scummy one. I wish PushSquare would stop acknowledging the fact the franchise exists. At this point TR is irrelevant as far as the PlayStation brand goes. Same with Xbox and SF and Xbox websites should refrain from acknowledging that series.

@Gamer83 I mean I'm sure that it'll be out on ps4 spring 2016 but still. Its funny that square complained about first month sales for the reboot, now they're gonna limit its availability at first...

@WebHead
It's braindead company that imo is the worst in the business and it's not close. For all the EA hate, it's far less despicable.

And I bet square enix are still moaning about it

Proud that this game did well in the long run, this was an excellent reboot with some awesome gameplay and set pieces all around. The story wasn't too shabby either. Part of me hopes this Xbox exclusivity backfires though
