Apparently they've just started on it, so will be a few years away yet. I also see that one of the guys behind Days Gone has joined Crystal Dynamics. I wonder if he'll be involved in this.

I'm calling it now, there'll be massive flashing icons showing you where to go, what to pick up and how to solve the puzzles. And they will not be toggleable.
That includes dice !
I will assume it is going to be the same as previous 3 TR games where if you actually want it to be a challenge with no hand holding then turn up the difficulty and enjoy as will turn off any guiding lights and enemy will be a lot stronger and will have to go back to camp site if you die etc .

Same here!just playing through rise of', should give me enough time to get shadow of' complete
Really enjoying it, but on normal difficulty it is not a challenge at all.

Should perform great, no need to build assets of different quality for LOD (the quality of an asset can be as good as the artist intended to be), great GI, etc. So ,Nanite, Lumen, probably easy to use as well.
I'll gladly play a new Tomb Raider with less hand holding and lots of interesting artifacts/mythology bits to discover. Shadow went in the right direction when it comes to exploration but some people thought it strayed too far away from action. It also wasn't that good overall but I generally enjoyed all three games for what they were.
I'd love something like a modern take on TR3, puzzle-heavy with just enough action to keep it interesting and in general just a bit more challenging gameplay.

Enjoyable games, but yes, less of the hand holding, flashing interactable objects and you would have a much better game hopefully
It's quite simple really, it's to **** on the battery of all the steam fanboys who irrationally hate epic store
I look forward to this game and I look forward to buying it from the epic store
Does anyone have irrational hatred for a game platform? Seems an odd thing to hate

Yeah interestingly I have come across people who do.
I like Steam as its an easy place to keep/launch/buy games but if epic store is offering a title cheaper, then obviously only an idiot buys elsewhere. Also some titles are only available on one store platform or another.
COD Vanguard - for example. Not available currently on Steam (but seemingly most other COD titles are) so I bought from Epic store.
Apparently I can still use Steam to launch the game anyway.
Having said that it's taking forever to download even on a 100Mbps connection.
Because unless you have your own in-house engine already....you need to add 3-4 years to your development timeline to get an engine built that even starts to come close to feature parity with something like Unreal.
There's a lot of unreal that is bloody awful still, but it's the best of the freely available engines. Snowdrop is miles better to work with, but you can't get that outside Ubisoft!
