Message: [QUOTE="Leifang, post: 41858, member: 5746"] It actually came out? Last I heard about it was shaping out to be the next Duke forever with all the delays. Tomb Raiders sold FAR more than 4 millions, first reboot alone was almost 15, Square neglecting then dropping Western franchises is one of their genius decisions like the FF movie. Switching developers and writers after Rise was also bizarre. The current IP owner is the European version of EA, Embracer group, which are trying to wiggle their way out of sanctions by announcing they're totally divesting from russian offices, while at the same time squeezing them to do cheapest remasters possible. It's not characters and enemy models that are expensive, it's the whole rebuilding levels with 4k textures and shaders and lighting and everything, writing tons of dialogue and voicing it, directing fully-animated cutscenes and so on. It's not like they made HD models and inserted them into HoneyBee Inn without changes. There's full film production budgets for every set-piece. As to remaking without AAA budget, what's the point? You just need a reason to buy the same game again? I got original 3D ones on Steam. [/QUOTE]
