This is very disapointing news. I had REALLY been hoping that the Annioversary game would be released on the XBox 360, particularly since it would be on PC and Microsoft has worked so hard to make development as easy as possible. I've been a fan of the Tomb Raider Series since the beginning, and don't presently own a Playstation... I do not understand why Eidos feels that none of the Tomb Raider Fans don't have a PS2. Additionally, I do find the comment about optimizing the game for this generation of hardware comical, considering it isn't being published for any new hardware. The XBox 360 could have really done this game justice... It's a shame...

Anyone remember this statement from SCi Entertainment's annual report?
This could be a marketing ploy, to set up another round of press releases to include the Xbox and Xbox 360.

I read that release MissLara2U, and I don't see anything to imply that the game will be released on any other platform? Am I missing something? I certainly hope that it is released on the XBox 360, as Legend did well on that console and the game could really be phenomenal on that console..

Maybe on x360 but not the cube or the old xbox. Those consoles are as good as dead. Well, at least when you look at the titles that are released today. So many games that originally was planned for xbox and the cube has been cancelled in the last year or two.

I think they're jealous so decided to change PSP to Xbox, LoL.
As for the 360 version of Legend, I can't really say it was a surprise because it had been in Scidos' Preliminary reports - along with a PSP version - before they ever officially announced an X360 version.

But from the perspective of other players and fans, I'm going to try and believe that those systems are only a sample of the systems it will be for. The PC is always today's technology, with hardware upgrades easily doable. But PS2? PSP? Define "today" please? "Today's" technology standards, in my view, are not PS2 or PSP. PS3 and Xbox360 - those are today's technology standards when it comes to home consoles; and home consoles were specifically mentioned in that article. Those are "current gaming consoles". PS2 and PSP are old hat. Yesterday's news. Old tech. Xbox360 and PS3 have some amazing capabilities and it's going to be a darn shame if they aren't included. So even though I have a PC and this won't affect me, for the sake of other fans I'm going to believe that PS2 and PSP were just a "sample" of the systems TRA will be for. Or that at least they are the confirmed systems, and they are still working on making it happen for the others.

I'm on PC. So, console problems don't affect me. But still, I feel sorry for those gamers, who are on consoles - it must be extremely frustrating to anticipate games, that are only complimentary for one console, and not for the other. I mean, do I have to own absolutely every console to play the games I want to play? That sucks - it means, I have to buy a new console every once in a while. PC for me - the only thing required are the upgrades.

It does seem odd that they are focusing on the PS2... I just don't get that. The XBox 360 is hardly unproven hardware (Having sold 6 million units already, with an expected 10 million unit user base by the end of the year). I would think that Eidos would want that market...
I do hope that the Anniversary Edition comes out on the XBox 360 though, because I cannot use my PC for gaming (That's what I bought my XBox 360 for... ). I fondly remember playing through TR1, and was REALLY looking forward to this Anniversary Edition. Hopefully there'll be better news between now and the games release... At least I hope...

Dude... a real gamer uses whatever he likes and is good enough, most people i know that own PS2's are cheapo mainstreamers with no perception of evolution, also.. there is nothing that makes the PS2 this great adventure platform, all are consoles with controlers atached to them, the 360 has the power to deliver beautyfull things, the PS2 is old and doesnt cut it... My bet is that sony bought or owns exclusive wrights to TR1 and/or this remake, if you buy a ps2 today you are holding things back, buy a up to date platform, you are living in the past.

Well... imagine you have a good console and a very dated one... would you refuse to play TRL with next gen graphics just because you consider your ancient, outdated console to be "the adventure platform"? The adventure platform is whatever platform you play your games with, if you dont have anything better than a ps2 to game with you are very likely a mainstream gamer. I play all genres exclusively on the PC (including shooters), if i wanted a console for sports games i would buy a capable one, not a ps2...
