UK Sales Charts: Lara Croft's Remastered Trilogy Raids New Release Jamboree

Awesome to see TR originals in the top 10.
Though very strange situation going on there, how Crystal Dynamics sabotages Saber Interactive in terms of giving credits

@Loamy yeah Silent Hill 2 has been out of stock all week

I'm honestly surprised and a little crestfallen to see Sparking Zero drop this much 😅

@Keyblade-Dan Don't be, Christopher Dring said it was a massive hit across Europe and its launch sales are up 140% compared to FighterZ which was the fastest selling Dragonball game in Europe.

@McTwist Why would Saber get credit? Aspyr is the one who done the remaster.

@McTwist I see what you mean, it’s a mess. The bulk of the development is by Core Design (and Eidos USA for the expansions) but they get no credit, then all the porting and remastering work (and publishing) is by Aspyr but they’re part of Saber, and finally the IP is held by Crystal Dynamics. Oh and the latter three are all Embracer companies. Far too complicated.

Update: Found out Embracer have sold off Saber this year so Aspyr aren’t part of Saber anymore. Jeez very complicated indeed. 😂

Some good old conspiracies lol. I don't know the girl, but randomly saw this video. Idk what's going on, but it seems strange. I'm glad that there are people responsible for the faithful remasters though

I really hope the new tomb raider game does not go in the same direction as the Netflix show, that show is a disaster

@DennisReynolds I'm pretty sure Saber Interactive were the ones who developed the Tomb Raider remasters not Aspyr I think they just published it. If Aspyr was the main developer I'd be surprised all remasters I've played made by them have been pi🐍🐍 poor and these ones are great

@Keyblade-Dan Nah Aspyr done it and they done a great job https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomb_Raider_I%E2%80%93III_Remastered

Who's the leader of the party that's made for you and me?
S-U-P-E-R M-A-R-I-O!

Hey there, hi there, ho there! You're as welcome as can be!
S-U-P-E-R M-A-R-I-O!

Come along and sing a song and join the Jamboree!
S-U-P-E-R M-A-R-I-O!

Yay, Mario!
Yay, Mario!
Yay, Super Mario Party!
Yaaay!

Ah ok, so doubled checked the full Tomb Raider credits and yeah, Saber and Aspyr both have dev credits. I see the problem now because Saber aren’t credited on the cover. We all knew Crystal did f- all though. That’s no surprise.

@VeldinX Apparently it was Sabers idea to recruit people from the fan game community that were working on that Tomb Raider 2 project so it would seem they're responsible for this turning out as good as it did

@Keyblade-Dan Aw that’s cool. The Dagger of Xian project? Hopefully they do the same with the guys who were doing the AoD fan remaster.

Nice to see Astro is still hanging in the top 20. But Metaphor from 7th to 24th? That's big like what happened, Sega didn't send enough copies?

Strange things happen in charts during a shrinking market. What are Hogwarts and MK11 doing up there? Are they on sale?

Reminds me of the dying days of the Saturn in 1998. Ceefax still showed the charts and you'd get whatever junk EB and Game were selling at 2 for £20, usually Andretti Racing and out of date FIFA and Madden.
