MULTI Tomb Raider Delayed to Q1 2013

[GoldenHawk]

From a message from the Head of Studios at Crystal Dynamics.

A Message to the Tomb Raider Community

When Crystal Dynamics first set out to reboot the Tomb Raider franchise, there were two goals that we were extremely passionate about. The first was to create a modern Tomb Raider game that would surprise and excite gamers. The second was to make this the best game of our careers, something we would be really proud to be a part of. We truly believe that we have something very special on our hands and we can’t wait to share it with you.

Our priority now is to make sure we fully deliver the very highest quality game. In order to do this, we have decided to move the game’s release date by a few months, from Fall 2012 to the first quarter of 2013.

We’re doing things that are completely new to Tomb Raider in this game and the additional development time will allow us to put the finishing touches into the game and polish it to a level that you deserve. We believe this is the right choice and I guarantee it will be worth the wait. The game is looking amazing and we can’t wait to show it to everyone at E3 in a few weeks.

WTF ab tu fashion bana lia he games delay krnay ka har company ne

 

[Radical]

It's just for a couple of months guys! =\

 

[manigamer]

for some reason, i wasn't expecting this to HIT this year anyway !

 

[Hassan]

Fine to me. I already got many games in my "to play" list,

I'll be happy if they bring me an awesome and polished thing after the long wait.

i guess i made the thread first mod ??

 

[its Me]

Just Great! (sm1)

 

[sshah]

Why are there three TR threads in different sections?

Anywho, if they can somehow make it even slightly like TR2, I'll be all over this.

Someone please tell me since we are all aware of the everyday advancement in gaming industry, especially the graphical interface. Every now and then there is something new, and then a number of hardware accelerators are launched. In such circumstances, delaying or dragging this project into a distant dream wouldn't be tantamount to compromise on the graphics? or the game play? I mean just for the sake of example, compare any two tomb raider launched consecutively and you will see it yourself.

 

[sshah]

Could be due to the development costs, or some sort of hitch in the development cycle.

 

[Magma]

Dammit, first Bioshock, now Tomb Raider?

They shouldn't have shown that awesome E3 trailer last year.

 

[Radical]

Square is in profits again thanks to Deus Ex & FF 13-2!

So maybe it's purely a business decision to delay this into 2013! =\

They are already finishin' strong with Hitman 5 etc. Also, Sleeping Dogs looks promising.

 

[Chandoo]

They're probably recording more moaning noises for Lara.
