I really want this to be good. I just played Legend for the first time a couple of days ago, and despite my massive scepticism I was hugely impressed. I hope this version scrubs up as well, but with the excellent level design of the original, and I will certainly buy it.
Here's hoping... |

A 360 version would be good - to not have a clue for every next jump would be appreciated too. As it's only on those three platforms though I guess I'll be passing and maybe waiting for the inevitable budget PC release way down the line.

So what's the official reason behind there being no 360 version? I'm quite gutted about this as Legends on the 360 is one of my favourite games.
The first Tomb Raider is the only Tomb Raider game in my opinion that had the atmosphere just right. Never have I felt such strong feeling of isolation an lonliness in a game. I just hope they can re-capture this updated anniversary version. I've recently bought Legends again for a bargain price of £14.99 from gameplay.com. I'm keen to unlock all of the acheivements.

Considering that this is running on the TR:L engine (already ported to the x360) and is a remake of the original -and best according to many gamers - TR, it is strange that an x360 version isn't in development (or announced); it would, probably, tempt more x360 owners to buy it, than TR: L.
Maybe a Sony-exclusive deal (hopefully timed :) is in effect... EDIT: Other than that, a faithful remake is more than welcome in my book :)

I am really looking forward to this. And in someways I hope this is the start of a trend to bring old classics upto date. (Deus Ex with good graphics anyone?)
It certainly brings back memories of giant dinosaurs, killing kids on skate boards and classic lines like "I feel stronger now". Oh and I would prefer this on the 360 Eidos but will get it on the PC otherwise. |

A non-exclusive pS2 game that doesn't have a Wii port? Who'd have thought.
Anyway, my biggest hope is that the camera will be improved because that was the biggest problem I had with Legend. Especially considering how clearly linear the levels are, it shouldn't be all that hard for the camera to anticipate the next move and turn or move accordingly to give a good view of that. Rather then the Mario Sunshine kind of camera from the first game. Or at least a button to quickly centre the camera behind Lara. |

"You don't want a 360 version as it will most likely be a direct port with some improved graphics."
Errr, that's exactly what we'd want. |

Surely if Sony had an exclusivity contract on this a ps3 version would be a no-brainer..?

"Another vote for a 360 version."
You see, it is the Anniversary version game of the original that was made for PlayStation and PC. It makes sense to celebrate the event on the succesors of those platforms. |

Why 360 though and not PS3 do you think?
Well, the PS3 didn't have a version of Tomb Raider Legend so they'd have to get the engine going on the PS3 first. Probably more important to get the actual game finished on the platforms they already have a working engine for I'd have thought. Maybe PS3/360 will come later? Or maybe they won't! Maybe it's a conspiracy! :-D |

There will be a 360 version eventually I guess. The engine is already available so from a business point of view it's easy money.
