Rise of the Tomb Raider is one of those games I didn't get around to, when it initially came out for the Xbone and the PC, but now there's a new version coming titled "20 Year Celebration". Why Sony is celebrating a SEGA Saturn mascot is anyone's guess, but I'm excited!
Rather than just being a port, the PS4 version ads a plethora of new features according to this article
- Award-winning Rise of the Tomb Raider
- Brutal new “Extreme Survivor” difficulty mode (no checkpoints)
- “Blood Ties” & “Lara’s Nightmare” premium DLC
- Co-op support for “Endurance Mode”, challenging players to survive extreme conditions with a friend
- Re-envisioned cold-weather outfit and weapon for Lara inspired by Tomb Raider III
- Classic Lara card pack which will allow fans to play “Expedition Modes” using one of several classic Lara models
- All existing DLC including “Baba Yaga: The Temple of the Witch” and “Cold Darkness Awakened”, 12 outfits, 7 weapons, 35 Expedition Cards, and more
- Support for PlayStation VR that challenges players to unlock the mysteries of Croft Manor in first person
This is yet another game with added PlayStation VR support, which gives me the feeling that it's a great entry point for VR. While the design of the modern Lara is more realistic and subdued over her classic, original design, I still wonder if it'll work like Trespasser: Jurassic Park with it's innovative health system?
