Tomb Raider is one PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 title that won’t be made for Wii U.
Crystal Dynamics Global Brand Director Karl Stewart explained that the studio wouldn’t be interested in simply porting the game. If they were to develop a title for the console, they “would build it very differently and would built it with unique functionality.”
Stewart said:
“When we started developing the game we made a conscious decision that it was all about building the game for a platform and making sure the game was specific to that platform. Given that we’ve been working on the game quite a while before Wii U was announced I think it would not be right to try and port it across. If we started building a game for the Wii U we would build it very differently and we would build it with unique functionality.”
Thanks to Jake for the tip!
