Now I'm going to have nightmares!
The platforming was pretty fun in that game though. And my god did it look pretty.
I'm more excited about the gameplay changes. It seems to me that they're adding survival elements.
A reboot is exactly what she needs. The open world concerns me, but I will withhold judgement for now. I always like the exploration aspect of the game, so perhaps an open world to explore is a perfect match!
Might be too strong a reaction; but that's not Lara Croft.
Lara is smooth, calm, cool, collected. Always well presented and in control. It looks like they're leaning towards a much grimmer down and dirty action hero which just doesn't fit her previous image.
Why not call it something else if they're making a different game and don't try and cash in on our memories of Tomb Raider?

She looks like she has been beaten with a sitck by a batshit insane slippery naked guy from Uncharted. wich gives me the idea of a tombraider/uncharted remix game! wich probably would suck and be an emberrasement to our entire civilization. wich reminds me that I want to play civilaztion 5, so Im going to go do that!
Is this the third or fourth reboot?MiracleOfSound said:
Honestly, they've been beating the horse so hard it's turned into a gritty-reboot-origin story with anime hair and apparently a Rambo style longbow. Even worse, they've given up on subtitles and just gone back to the original name. All they need is a new voice actor (preferrably middle American and nasal)...
Tomb Raider is a Zombie Franchise now, although I don't wish Crystal Dynamic ill with their future, if they turn out to be good games my opinion will change.
I got back into gaming with the PS1 back in 1997 and Tomb Raider was the second game I bought, so I'll always have a soft spot for the franchise even if I'm underwhelmed with where it's been going for years.
People seem to forget that the original games were awesomely innovative and ahead of the competition. No other 3D action adventure character could come close to matching Lara's moves - I mean you couldn't even walk up a flight of stairs in Resident Evil without a cut scene. I don't think the TR games became outdated so much as the competition finally caught up.
Anyway, I'll hope for the best and I am glad to hear about it being open world. I'd hate to see this reboot turn the series into one of those overly scripted, set piece heavy, no side path, interactive cutscenes that pass for action adventure these days.

I'll say the same thing that I said in the news thread about this topic.
"EEEEEEEEEEEE!!! ME WANTS!"
I love Tomb Raider (and yes, I was one of the few people who enjoyed Angel of Darkness).

How do they intend to explain why she looks different?
Also, is that rendered computerised graphics or a photograph, because if its rendered then it is easily the best I have ever seen.

Now you've said that I can't not see her! Which is not a bad thing.Skullkid4187 said:
I think the image perfectly captures a youthful Ms Croft. Although she looks more badass than naive.
Well if they stick to this look and not a model in bloody hiking boots it would reignite my interest. Tomb Raider 2 was my first experience in the series and I played up until the end of the PS 1 era a.k.a Tomb Raider 5.
It would be nice to play it again, Tomb Raider is a great series but I guess I didn't want to touch it when they rebooted the series...it didn't feel the same

Oh yeah, it's Lara Croft! How much my 12 year old self enjoyed the earlier games in the series for their...jumping, and...shooting, and...story? Oh screw it, nobody would have bought these stupid games if she hadn't resembled a lamp post with two watermelons, who despite being characterized as being wealthy can't afford a lot of clothing. Yep, I'm sure today's 12 year olds will buy this tripe, now that she resembles a mudwrestling bimbo, if they can get actual porn via their cordless phone-thingies. Gawd I'm old...
