The original formula is a nigh impossible to repeat in "next gen" terms. Counting tiles before jumping is a thing of the past. Turning 45° after jumping, having to wait the very last second to find out if a jump is possible or not... I don't know, don't see it happening.
They could tone down the automated platforming that has invaded modern 3D games. Like, make the platforming revolve around adjudicating distances and precision, and if that feel too "hardcore", implement "safety net measures" to make sure the game doesn't become frustrating for casuals.
Something like Arkham Asylum's bat-hook mechanic. If the player misjudges the jump, you have a number of charges of some "hook" device to save you, so you don't have to start anew. However, for example, the hook can also be used to make normally impossible jumps, and you need all charges to get all secrets on all levels. So even scrubs can finish the game, but to see everything you need to play it as it's meant to be played.
great trailer.. totally fine with the star being laura croft... but tentatively I'm going to say they should really have dropped the tomb raider name. or at least massively deemphasize it before release... unless all of this has been misleading and you are actually... you know... raiding tombs.
but again, the trailer really worked and has me extremely excited for the game.

The CG was great, as per usual, but I kinda half-expected Laura to wield a gunsword or machinegundagger or something. Ha ha. Either way, this game has me hyped for the game.

Love the new music theme and its reference to the original TR theme!

Thats probably the best part of the whole trailer to be honest. Her listening to music makes her seem so relatable+believable.

One of the best cgi trailers ever, definitely the best and most exciting one this gen.
What's up with the voice actress though, couldn't they find the old lara ? I know this one from somewhere she sounds familiar, obnoxiously overdone accent inclusive.
Has there been a drink your own piss joke yet?
Also jesus christ @ the lighting in that cgi, do want that kind of quality in games in like another 5 years!.

Can someone make an HD gif about the bit where she' thinks she'll drown and right before she jumps off the boat (with the awesome lightning strike lighting up the interior).

Very impressive trailer. The little things like her listening to music and wincing in pain make her more believable. And I like that they made her physique a little more realistic than the old TR. For the first time in a long time I'm interested in a TR game, but I gotta see some in-game footage before I commit to purchase.

I though the Blur-made trailers for Star Wars: The Old Republic were the best game trailers I've ever seen, but this again tops those. Almost made me cry, for some reason.
And I absolutely love Lara's voice actor in this. What is there to complain about?

First time I saw that, I said FACK! Oddly love Lara that way though. But more so not beaten up. I mean:DennisK4 said:

Despite also seeming more realistic and believable in the role, New Lara is also 100x hotter than Old Lara.

I know some people have issues with all CG trailers depicting no gameplay, but when a game is this far out (1+ years) I'm absolutely fine with getting trailers like this that just set up tone and story. Especially when they look this gorgeous. Loving the new Lara.

Does this mean the sinking boat will not be playable? I wouldn't mind it being the intro to the gameplay and getting to experience all the destruction around you in real time.
SE are rich, they let their developers spend obscene amounts of time on their games, that and pretty trailers are more than enough of a contribution.Lime said:
I haven't heard Lara's voice, I watched on mute as I typically do with trailers. I shall have to watch it again.
EDIT: I like her voice, she sounds like Laura Marling.

Oh, I see, thanks. For some reason I thought this trailer would also serve as the intro for the game (without the voice over, unless it was presented as a flashback).UrbanRats said:
