Tomb Raider Dev Wants Multiplayer Designers for ... Tomb Raider?

[luke_c]

Well. Color me shocked. Crystal Dynamics has put out a help-wanted ad seeking a designer to lead "multiplayer vision and design effort for "one of the most prestigious AAA franchises in the industry." Whatever could that be?

Given that Crystal Dynamics hasn't done much of anything other than Tomb Raider since 2005, and given that Eidos/Square Enix have telegraphed a "reboot" of the Lara Croft franchise, sounds like it's a good bet that's your prestigious AAA franchise. Unless they're referring to Legacy of Kain, of course.

The ad listing mentions multiplayer maps, which indicates competitive online, not just cooperative campaign support.

Can there be some girl-on-girl kissing multiplayer?

I'm just kidding. I've never really played Tomb Raider, but from what I've seen of it you could have a competent multiplayer mode, given how they make the game mechanics.

I can see the tides turning. Uncharted borrowed heavily from the Tomb Raider franchise and I wouldn't be surprised if Tomb Raider borrows the same style of multiplayer.

Tomb raider was already porny but with SE on cast, dont u think it will be presented more obviously but deceptively by making it part of the game without ppl knowing their intent
i guess multiplayer is a big issue even for tomb raider games which i think will be not realistic but fun

I don't see how this can be an online game.
How can she RPG plz.

I would still play it though, even if its just racing people to finish climbing the mountain.
