jswartz0181 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 From http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1am2sl /hi_i_am_karl_stewart_global_brand_director_for/: We honestly believe that creating a multiplayer experience was and is the right thing to do. This is our very first attempt to create a MP experience and with that comes a lot of learning. We will continue to monitor and tweak the experience until we get it right. At this time there are no plans for single player DLC There are currently no plans in place for any Single Player expansions. All of our DLC is based around the Multiplayer experience for now.

BiggD Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Good. Lol, I don't see how Story DLC would even make sense with such a definitive ending. The game was good, and the 1000G was reasonable (with glitching Shopaholic, which I still have to do). I just hope they don't add achievements to their Multiplayer DLC...

darthroker29 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Very disappointing news.. but what would a SP dlc be about? I think the story is good as it is.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalterWhite Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Great game but I'm less inclined to hang onto it after hearing that. Kind of a bummer even though it wouldn't fit into the storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutterk73 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 hell thats a letdown..id have liked some tombs or something.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jswartz0181 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Well, a few possibilities off the top of my head: "Proper" side tombs that actually present a challenge and require more than just a quick glance to figure out how to solve. There is plenty of space on the map that the game never covers. One or more of these sections could easily add a few of these. Episodes that let you play as the other survivors. There are a few events in the story that could easily translate into extra gameplay. With all the ship wrecks, certainly some interesting side-story could be had (isn't that what the GameStop pre-order DLC was?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEG23 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Given how there are 'extra' survivors in the MP list that I don't remember seeing in SP, I was hoping there might have been some extra story elements for DLC. At least all those who were hanging out for additional MP content will be happy, wherever they are;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmortalArbiter Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Really developers? Hey, instead of focusing on the part of the game that everyone absolutely loved, lets develop content for our half-assed multiplayer mode that no one cares about! Its genius!!!!!!

Colmarr Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I think this game is crying out for co-operative multiplayer a la Splinter Cell Conviction or Mass Effect 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jswartz0181 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) Oh, and how about some fan service? Before MP was announced, the Shanty Town map was referred to as Endurance DLC. This led people to imagine some sort of prequel, where you meet the crew and get to know them better. Would it be combat-based? Of course not (but then, TR also really hasn't been overly combat-based in the past). But with how so many feel the supporting characters were hard to relate to/care about, something could be worked out to provide cheap or free DLC in that regard (depending on the content -- just story would hopefully be free (not unlike the Mass Effect 3 Extended Cut)).

BiggD Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Lol, watch them add achievements. the douches.... They wouldn't dare! *knowing me and my obsession for completions, I'd buy it :/* Given how there are 'extra' survivors in the MP list that I don't remember seeing in SP, I was hoping there might have been some extra story elements for DLC. I thought the same thing, but Liam was actually one of the randoms that got shot when Lara was first kidnapped/taken by Vlad. Victor is the captain of the boat towards the end of the game that walks up to Lara and says "we're going home." But...I have no idea who Steph is?

JuSt BLaZe Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Paaah what fucking dumbasses. Creating such a wonderful campaign and story around the young Lara Croft and what did they end up with...focusing on the MP. They should listen more to the reviews and what people are saying in the forums rather than WHAT THEY THINK/WANT. Not many will care. I assume that will also mean no bikini-bottom party with Lara. What a shame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UberPirateNinja Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Shit, I must have missed that! was wondering about Steph and Liam myself, i really must pay more attention with these campaigns! i can't even recall those 2 from the opening cinematics.

Colmarr Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Liam is definitely shot by the Solarii when Lara gets captured. You can clearly see his puffy vest and trucker cap. I don't explicitly recall seeing Steph in the game, but I do seem to remember Lara uttering her name as suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjBatfink Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 No single player DLC, that sucks.... I was keeping hold of my game... I was hoping they would add a new Island or something to explore.. It's a shame as the single player was so good... I guess i will trade it in towards something else then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobermann X Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I'll never buy the MP DLC, i really don't care if they add achievements, i'll stay to 1000 and that's fine to me until they release the MP DLC for free when they'll see that nobody care.

AmbaLaBamba Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Character based DLC would have been good, that suggestion reminded me a little of Mafia 2 with the Joe's Adventures DLC I would like to know more about the ships crew, and as mentioned in another post here there are plenty of places that the DLC could take place.

The Kingslayer Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I am saddened and shocked by this news, I mean really they have no plans at all for DLC that introduces newer and tougher tombs wow. I really fucking hate how developers and studios think tacking on a shitty multiplayer is the solution for a long life span, If the game is great and there is tons of secrets and collectables people will continue to play it. God bless Ken Levine and Irrational for not including multiplayer into Bioshock:Infinite I wish others would follow suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VladimirK Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I'm really disappointed that there won't be proper puzzles added, he said on the Reddit thread: We tried to ensure that even with a new vision, we stayed true to the pillars of Combat, Exploration and puzzle solving. Well, shit, did they screw that last one up... I've had more of a bloody challenge trying to count out my money at last call in a pub than any of the Early Learning Centre bollocks in this. I also sincerely hope there's no new MP achievements added, the MP is just awful, and that's being nice to them - Although to be honest, it's the worst MP I can remember ever playing - 30% spawn camping, 30% bows, 30% grenade launchers and 10% luck that you hopefully don't get this in a match. The excuse about still learning MP is fucking shite though, you don't need to make and then refine your multiplayer over several games to know that the spawn-camping bullshit with bows/launchers of TDM will utterly ruin it, that the bad spawns in FFA where you appear right next to somebody will screw that up or even that this game's idea of balance where it's happy to stick a bunch of low level players with rubbish gear against a whole bunch of high levelled players with good, upgraded gear will make it pointless and easier for the first point to happen. On top of that, I don't think I've ever played MP maps where they can feel simultaneously so big and so cramped at the same time - Big in that sometimes you're lucky to see one or two players, (assuming that's not because the rest have bloody quit like what seemed to happen so often), yet at the same time there's so many cramped little corridors and caves, it's weird. Just please let the MP die, Crystal - It's Tomb Raider, it doesn't need multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Frost Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 With all the ship wrecks, certainly some interesting side-story could be had (isn't that what the GameStop pre-order DLC was?). Nah, it's just another little tomb that doesn't take long to complete like all the rest. It has a bonus ammo/salvage cache hidden in it, so it's got a little more than the ones found in the rest of the game, but not much... And after trying to play the MP legitimately (still can't win a fucking Free-For-All) I have to agree with a lot of what VladimirK says about it's "balancing" and general oddness.

That would definitely be interesting, but the crew [sam, Reyes, Jonah, Alex] were captured like 90% of the game, and I don't see how they could have altered that in the slightest to make it DLC worthy The only characters that we know were alive and well were Grimm and Roth. Woulda been awesome playing as Roth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
