If I am going to play a game I want the character's tits as big as possible. I could try to deny it all I want but it's true. It's why Stretch Panic is my favorite game ever.
This is one of like, two games coming out this year which genuinely interest me. And I've never really played a TR before.

I think that's where they have the potential to distance themselves as I've always found the puzzles in UC very weak. The platforming is easy, but it's fluid, exciting and feels very good. I'm more interested in the stuff they mentioned like the Lost-esque mysteries in the game, the potentially huge setpieces, and the emotional aspect of the character. I mean, the intro of the game has you lighting Lara on fire to free her. That's just crazy.Stallion Free said:

Made me cringe. There's "gritty and realistic" and then there's "gruesome and morbid." It's edging into the latter, virtual sadism territory, IMO. But I'll hold off til I see the thing. Still in love with the overarching ideas though.Ponti said:

Hmm, just noticed on one of the article pages (the one with Drake on it) there is a small picture of a wrecked ship which looks really familiar to one of the locations in Lost called Black Rock. Link here. The similarities between it and what we know so far about the game seem to be pretty spot on.

Wow... this just looks fantastic. I've never been much of a Tomb Raider fan, just played one or two games when I was younger, but by the looks of this, this is gonna be an instant buy, if it really does live up to its potential.
Colour me impressed. Really digging those scans.

Well, judging by how much she seems to be getting knocked around and injured as time progresses, I wouldn't be surprised if she's in a full body cast by the end of the game.Casval said:

That artwork is amazing. Should be the boxart.

awesome. Was a big fan of CD's recent Tomb Raider trilogy (especially Anniversary). Loving the huge change they're giving this while keeping it an adventure title.
Uncharted is fun but it's far from adventure or platformer. It's just a third person shooter.
I'm glad the genre is still alive here, and it looks like it's gonna be pretty survival-based too. New Lara looks cool with the archery bow. Hopefully it becomes a staple of the new Croft.

If you have a PS3 then just grab the collection. You'll get them all in one package.

Tomb Raider came out in 96 when I was 14. 15 years later I'm still the same perv who used to stare in wonder at the psx's boob physics.

Question is: will the ESRB puss out and "ban" it?purple cobra said:

It wasn't hard for it to catch on once fashion magazines and companies started to use her. She was everywhere after the original game hit.
It's understandable to have a special place in your heart for the series having grown up with it, but to see that stuff as an adult, I can't believe she got onto adverts on TV, and even the front of a fashion magazine once I believe.bdizzle said:
Salaadin and jbttwin, thanks guys, good news.
Those are really the things I was referring too, I don't really get how she went from the game character to the front of a magazine for adult women.SolidSnakex said:

CD would be fucking burned to the ground if they cancelled the PC version.
That said, Nixxes is probably doing the port and I trust them.

All it needed was a better camera, pfft.
I'm not adverse to new and fresh ideas, but a lot of this stuff feels REALLY out of the Tomb Raider mold. I don't mind open world games (in fact I love them), but if the Tomb Raider series historically impressive level design is sacrificed in favor of looser, mission-based structures it'd be a huge loss since there is literally no games out that play or feel like classic Tomb Raider.

Right, and if you didn't want that, play a game that isn't called TOMB RAIDER. narf.

A big part of it is that Eidos hired a company to specifically market Lara. They wanted to turn her into a brand. It also likely helped that she was a main character in a game when the overwhelming majority of main characters were male. Aside from Samus how many female characters can you think of that were the leads in major games back then?
Also Lara is very popular among female gamers. Even now she's one of the few female main characters and she's actually a strong character.
