Tomb Raider Anniversary coming to the 360? photo

After Lara Croft's phenomenal rebirth last year with Tomb Raider: Legend (it's singular, n00bs!) and the success of said title on the Xbox 360, it was somewhat disheartening to see the 10th Anniversary remake of the game that started it all being released solely on last-gen systems. That may have recently changed however, as according to Gamespot and the online database of the ESRB Eidos has split the 5 major areas of the game up and had them rated for the Xbox 360, presumably to be released as episodic DLC. 

As good as Legend was, the original Tomb Raider was arguably the best in the series and I for one have been greatly awaiting the opportunity to return to the Lost City to cap me some raptors and find the missing cogs once more. Now if only they would do the same for the Legacy of Kain series...

Classic game. I wonder just how expensive it's going to be on live though :/

Nearly completed TR:A! Fantastic game! If it comes to the 360, I will buy it. Like I am buying legend too. I have them both already on ps2 xD

I love Tomb Raider. Anniversary is a great game, I wrote about it on my blog and I'll do a better review once I've completed it.
BUY IT

Aren't the camera problems the same as they were way back when?

You'd have thought the remake wouldn't have been quite so exact.

Still, i enjoyed the demo of Legend so i may go out and buy Anniversary if it does make it's way to 360.

@Garbz, I think you're missing the point of the story: you won't need to go out anywhere to buy it. Lara will come to you.

Woops.

My bad.

Though presumeably we'll still have to pay for the DLC.

In which case:

"Still, i enjoyed the demo of Legend so i may sit around on my arse and buy Anniversary if it does make it's way to the 360 marketplace."

Ammended somewhat.

The original Tomb Raider, remade with better boobie bounce physics and in 720p?! Damn you, episodic content, you have beaten me again!

I'm behind you 100% with the prospect of a Legacy of Kain remake, Haley. I love those games, and still have them all (along with the Tomb Raiders).

Right, but the first one? No love for Soul Reaver?

"You can dispense with the benevolent facade, Mobius. I know who and what you are. You've a reputation for deceit."

"And who has slandered me so? Your malefactor, Kain? The one who condemned you to this wretched state? Consider the source before you judge me too harshly."

AAHHHAHAHAHAaaa... HOOooo...

So BAD...!

Soul Reaver owned my life when i borrowed my friends playstation for a few weeks.

Never finished it though. I'd love for that to hit XBL marketplace.

Also, LordRegulus, i recognise your name from somewhere. What forums do you haunt?

This is pretty great. Legend on 360 was surprisingly fun (it was the only TR game I have played since the second one) and I was hoping Anniversary would hit the 360. Good news all around!

I've played the Legend one and have it was pretty awsome. Short, but awsome. As for Anniversity... it'll take a little more than making it pretty for me to jump in on that. Any extras or anything with it?

I would absolutely love to see a 3D remake of the first Blood Omen. Maybe even a new Kain game.

This is great news. I was never a fan of the games, but really enjoyed Legend. It was fairly simple and straight forward (and short), but a lot of fun.

It would be nice if they released the content in chunks. I was hearing Croft Manor would be free DLC, with others to follow. I think 500 points per level would be about right.

The original Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain is still friggin' awesome to this day. It plays like a mature version of the original Legend of Zelda and I know (for me) THAT game never gets old either.

The only problem they'd need to adress in a remake is the horrible load times. It would sometimes take 20 seconds just to look at your inventory to switch weapons/magic/armor. And believe me, some situations made you want to switch things A LOT.

I would pay for a remake or even just a loading-improved re-release of BO:LoK in a heartbeat!
