I just hope that Uncharted absorbs the good gameplay ideas from the Tomb Raider reboot so that there will be the best of both worlds. I think that’s more likely to happen than Tomb Raider gaining the writing/pacing chops of Naughty Dog.

IMO it isn’t as scary as some of the other first person horror games that have released in recent times. Key is the fact that very little in the game can actually hurt you, which undoes some of the magic.

Just watched some folks play P.T. and I don’t think I could have gotten more than a few minutes in on my own. That shit just unnerves me too easily.

I have never really cared for the Tomb Raider series so the exclusivity of Rise of the Tomb Raider really doesn’t matter to me. I would think Sony fans would just use the next Uncharted game to get their TR fix but I guess time will tell. I really don’t imagine this move would sway too many people to get an Xbone but Microsoft has to be getting a bit desperate.

As for Zynga, I think you kind of hit the nail on the head with why people keep investing in these companies. Zynga stock traded as high as $5.50 in March of this year and they could be just one accidental hit away from hitting that price (or their record high of $15.90) again. Of course, Zynga and King are hardly safe investments but there are plenty out there who are willing to stomach the risk in hopes that lightning strikes twice.

Sony was pretty strong, good amount of games. I have to say that if I were a Tomb Raider fan I would have been not in the best of moods. Great article Julian!
