OMG - Rise of the Tomb Raider gets Playstation VR support

Good news (I hope) that Nixes/Crystal Dynamics will eventually add the first person Croft Manor exploration "Blood Ties" mission to the PC version so it too can be played in VR. It was a dead cert that the wait for the PS4 version would include some extras, well here they are.

More info here - http://buyrottr.com/gb/

Also anyone ribbing Oculus for locking down exclusive VR content needs to focus their attention on Sony.  😕



Press release:

Crystal Dynamics® and Square Enix® continue to celebrate 20 years of Lara Croft®, the gaming world’s iconic heroine, with fans around the world by announcing today that Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration™ will launch on PlayStation®4 on Oct. 11, 2016.Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration will include the award-winningRise of the Tomb Raider® game, a completely new story chapter entitled “Blood Ties”, new co-op Endurance gameplay, PlayStation VR support for “Blood Ties”, all of the previously released DLC, more outfits, weapons, and Expedition Cards.  The Limited Edition of the game will also feature a limited edition art book.

With the exception of VR support, all of the new content in Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration will also be available for Xbox One and PC players. Current Season Pass owners on Xbox One and PC will automatically receive the content for free, and moving forward the existing Season Pass will be updated to include the new content. There is no Season Pass on PlayStation 4, as all of the content is included in the initial release.

“The studio is celebrating with all Tomb Raider® fans, thanking them for being on Lara’s 20 year journey with us,” said Scot Amos, co-Head of Studio at Crystal Dynamics. “The team has packed in surprises, new story, and the top-requested special features into this 20 Year Celebration edition.”

“Blood Ties,” a new premium DLC, beckons players to explore Croft Manor in a new story mode; then defend it against a zombie invasion in “Lara’s Nightmare”. When Lara’s uncle contests ownership of the Manor, Lara must explore the estate to find proof that she is the rightful heir, or lose her birthright and father’s secrets for good. Players can then test their zombie-killing skills in the replayable “Lara’s Nightmare” mode: a haunted Croft Manor where players have new challenges and must rid the Manor of an evil presence.

Additionally, support for PlayStation VR empowers players to unlock the mysteries of Croft Manor in first person.

“This year we celebrate 20 years of the iconic Lara Croft,” said Ron Rosenberg, co-Head of Studio at Crystal Dynamics. “This provided the perfect opportunity for us to deliver a new Tomb Raider experience. With the addition of PlayStation VR support, you can play the world through Lara’s eyes for the first time in franchise history.”

Erm not if the SJW supporters at Crystal Dynamics have anything to do with it. I've been very vocal about this on my Youtube channel and the official Tomb Raider forums (in the past), and if you look at the outfits Lara has in ROTTR you can forget about officially ogling boobs thanks to people like Rhianna Pratchet on the team. You can ogle her glorious arse though as have 83,000  84,741 other people in my video.  😛

If you look at the webpage I've linked you can see the 5 classic Lara outfits that can be worn so perhaps with some nifty camera work there can be boob ogling. However, it's doubtful there will be a VR model viewer.

Hard to imagine all the cut scenes in VR without making you sick. Will be interesting to see how they do that.

Lara Croft ? VR ? - shall I be first to make some sort of VR Boobies comment ?

Gaaah !  - @Techy111 beat me to it 😞

Meh, I don't care, I'm more of a leg man anyways, I like nice long legs.


edit_1: I don't wish to leave anyone out, so although I said I like long legs, I just wanted to add that I also like short legs too.


edit_2: Although I said I liked long legs, and I also liked short legs, perhaps it is better on reflection to just say I prefer something more in-between.


edit_3: MEDIUM LEGS !!! - u animals
