Oh, but of course. I would personally like for them to hone their craft in the single-player department. Gun play in Tomb Raider was always a secondary affair for me. It has always been about the exploration and checking out cool locales...and swan diving off cliffs into jagged rocks below, of course.

I imagine it to involve a lot of dual pistols and backflipping/rolling like mad people? Jokes aside, if this comes to fruition I am curious what they will choose to do.

Oh yes, it would be...intriguing to say the least.

Well, I'm not excited about it, but hey, as long as everyone's comparing this to Uncharted... Uncharted has great multiplayer. So I'm not writing it off completely yet.

Totally believable. It's my guess that this was a publishing decision more than anything.

Multiplayer = longer term engagement = more opportunities to monotize via DLC

It would be interesting to see how they would handle multiplayer.Not that i have played tomb raider since PS1 days.

Aslong as the single player doesn't suffer I'm fine with multiplayer. Wonder if it will be developed by another studio like Mass Effects, Bioshocks, and Assassin's creed.

DAMN IT!!! NOT EVERY GAME NEEDS MULTIPLAYER!!!!!!

That is a terrible idea. Just keep the single player.

It could work with the new action direction of the game... I'd prefer if they stuck closer to the Tomb Raider roots, but it seems like they're following Uncharted's successful formula; this doesn't surprise me.

Please no. Video game publishers today want to appeal to the CoD group so much nowadays, all Ubisoft products HAVE to have some kind of *** tacked on multiplayer, it speaks bounds of how pitiful the gaming industry is today

Tomb Raider could have multiplayer? Here's what I think... http://youtu.be/oAbSUtuXU1U?t=7s

Im quite querious how they would do this but I'm up for it. I'm guessing that it might be like the Assassin Creed muti-player.

Awesome. I'm sick of people demonizing multi-player. Multi-player adds longevity to the game, while allowing the Devs to be creative.

uhhh...  oh no.

Not a surprise.

I wouldn't mind. It's something interesting to think about.

The description makes it sound like it would be competitive multiplayer which means I wouldn't be interested...But, then again, I'd be willing to wait and see what exactly the multiplayer would entail before making a final call.

Worked for ME and Uncharted, flopped for Bioshock and Dead Space (and many others). Tacked-on multiplayer isn't what I'm worried about with this game though, it's the fact that what's been shown of the game's singleplayer lacks both the platforming and exploration of Tomb Raider and the interesting survival horror aspects that were originally emphasized when the game was first unveiled. As everyone has been quick to point out, they're channeling Uncharted a bit too blatantly.

They ought to include a classic Laura skin with embellished features in the multiplayer.

I'm looking to get this no matter what!!!
