Looks like they finally realised they can't flog that old dead horse any longer. Hopefully this new direction might breath some new life into the franchise.
What have they done ?!?

Tomb Raider games are good, something compelling about spending hours trying to master the pesky camera to get a face full of something aside from wall.
But even though this is a Lara Croft game, it still has totally lost the vibe of the whole franchise of searching through caves to nick stuff off a dead bloke

I promised myself I wouldn't face palm, and when the first announcement came I promised myself I would remain optimistic.
They gave her a partner.
This more than anything is my issue. I could take the new crappy top down isometric bollocks, I could take the lack of connection to the established story and plot, and just think of it like an Elseworlds book or something. I was even excited that they seemed to be returning to the puzzle based aspect of the originals.

And of course, the fact that from the looks of this clip they are now touting the combat as being part of the game, rather than the original focus on puzzles I thought there would be, combine that with the graphics looking indistinguishable between characters and scenery and everything looking like it's miles away as the player watches from orbit around Canis Major, makes me worry that the combat is going to be frustrating and pointless, and near impossible to aim or even pick out targets, and you know that they're going to have friendly fire damage so every time you fire randomly you kill your...........*shudder*..........[sub]partner.[/sub]
All in all it looks like they've finally managed to kill my spirit for Lara Croft, something not achieved since Angel of Darkness, and dare I say that this looks even worse than Angel of Darkness? Yes I do.
I wait anxiously for the next next reboot, when they can finally remember that Lara is best controlled in third person over the shoulder. And she doesn't need a mothercuntfuckingassshitbollockswankingdicklover partner.

Ok to me it looks like Baldurs Gate 2010. It looks like it's trying to be different but also like it will be a steaming pile of poo. Nevermind I've never been a fan of the Lara Croft games. Smelt too much like a teen fantasy to me...
I have played every single game and loved them all, I am angry very angry with what they've done to it, I have always been a tombraider fan until now, after waiting a long time for a sequel they bring out this sorry excuse of a game grrrr! .....looks crap, why didn't they rename this something else and and least leave my wonderful memories of her as they were.
