Tomb Raider dev wants moments that 'make you cry'

awesome

Great production: acting, graphic, directing, etc. I'm definitely looking forward to it.

Rated for maure gives us hopes grtting a better game than all those crappy kiddy games that reelasing one after another.Lets hope they dont dissapoint like final fantasy 13

looks nice.

The only time a game makes me cry is when I realize I just wasted $60+ bucks on a rushed, unfinished, buggy piece of Sh1t. WAHHH

I cried at the End of Metal Gear 3/// Ps2 days...omg : EVA

I don't play games to cry, I play them to have fun.

Crying why?.  You can not play the game crying...I personally who think it would make the game less worth playing.

Crying in what sense? One solitary tear or full on gulping sobs with runny nose? In all seriousness, if a medium is TRYING to make you cry, it generally fails. It's like comedy;the most hilarious moments are never scripted. Just make the game...erm... story... whatever, and if a part of it moves us on an emotional level, then so be it. But don't try to FORCE that emotional reaction from us because it looks fake from a mile off *cough* Heavy Rain *cough*. 

Sometimes developers seem to be trying too hard to convince us, and themselves, that video games are a serious, mature medium. They need to get over themselves. 

i will be completely honest the only game i have shed a tear over was believe it or not final fantasy crisis core.  The part where Zack gets gunned down; after spending 40 some odd hours I will half to say it was quite emotional to watch.  But any body with any knowledge of final fantasy knew it would happen it was just a matter of when.  I would have never guessed a final fantasy game would have been a tear jerker but it was.  I guess if you try to make something emotional it wont work different things effect different people.

The only reason I would want to cry during a videogame its because it was so good that touched my heart.

Here's a song dedicated to those who wanna cry.

Since video games are finally acknowledged as "mainstream media entertainment" and more people are taking an interest in them, it definitely seems good for games to finally start containing some "real" emotion. Yes, games have made attempts in the past to try and mimic human emotion or reactions, but as of recently (IMO) they have really come through. I don't know about "making them cry" because it's a well know fact most gamers are between 10 and like 35 yr. old MALES, so good luck on that one ;-) But certain games can definitely take on the "mature" route by containing material gamers and people in general, can relate too. Turning Lara Croft from a "video game sex symbol", into a REAL person who's maturity you get to witness first hand grow through in-game story progression, might just be what this franchise needs and the Gaming World as a whole. I applaud the attempt and hope they really break through with something fresh and exciting. I've honestly never been into the Tomb Raider franchise, but this one has my attention.

You gotta be kidding me...

many tried, none succeeded..

Two game make me sad :(

1- To the moon

2- Mass effect 3 ending

Multiplayer Lara..... so good they dropped the idea...

Damn they would have had lions and tigers as playable..... what  a relief its only Single player

Step one is to not make Laura Croft a sex symbol (and just a little tip, making it she she doesn't flaunt her appearance at every corner and that the camera doesn't spend more time looking at her ass then the actual gameplay doesn't mean the game is any less about sex. You can still make her a sexualized just on the other end of the sexualization spectrum.

I was never scared during a game until Slender came out. Hopefully some day a game can make me cry. Mass Effect came close when *SPOILER* Tali lost her dad and you have the ability to comfort her, but yet I had no watery eyes.

The dev wants moments that make you cry... unless somebody complains.  Then they'll say those moments never happened and you were just imagining things.

"I have no more tears to shed, for my heart is that of stone"....

her cup size got smaller... that made me cry :(

I haven't cried in years.

cant i bet 1 million dollars to them, that no matter how hard they try, they will NEVER make me cry?

immortal lara...

Umm when they left legacy Of Kain with the cliffhanger it made me "want to cry". When they released Blood Omen 2 it was one of the moments that "make you cry" inside for the lost potential. :/

I don't need to cry. I'm crying too much when trying to beat Dark Souls.

"This game is so bad" - cries ;) 

BRING IT tomb raider. The only recent game that was capable was Enslaved and maybe Asura's Wrath.

Great. I've played today the Episode Three of TWD and I almost cried. And I'm a pretty big guy who's seen lots of shit... and if they can make me feel like this in this game, I frankly will be thrilled by its power.

iam very hyped for tomb raider

He means when the overpriced,hollow  DLC comes out...

By the looks of it, we probably will end up crying at certain parts... out of sheer disappointment.

The first five Tomb Raiders are still the best.

make we cry, how? other shooter games dont made me cry with NPC death scenes and Tomb Raider will?

The day Lara Croft makes me cry is the day I hand in my Man card.

Well...if they make a poor PC port, they will certainly achieve their goal.
