[To Far Away Times]

A protector mode?

 

[deviljho]

Tune in next time for a special secret announcement that is going to change the way you play Tomb Raider forever.

Given that December 18th is pretty close

Countdown initiated.

Browser Game.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

DoA level boob physics?

 

[Meesh]

Wiiu? I'd buy it, never played Tomb Raider before.

 

[JaseMath]

Wii U or multiplayer. Probably Wii U.

 

[BrokenEchelon]

Lightning skin, i.e. Final Fantasy XIII-4.

 

[sleepykyo]

Am i really the first to guess multiplayer?

Time for that Elena tossing propane tank pic.

You're probably right.

 

[I H8 Memes]

If the announcement isnt that the new Tomb Raider will have wonderfully complicated and well designed tombs and puzzles along with no side characters so the player can experience an atmosphere of deep isolation in hidden tombs, then I dont think I'm interested.

 

[DocSeuss]

She's a vampire.

It's up to Raziel to defeat her.

 

[toastyToast]

They didn't change enough?

If I had to guess it's, going to be some sort of social integration.

 

[Kandinsky]

Come on guys this is no way related to WiiU, they would not even bother to hype it lol.

This is competitive multiplayer, or co-op guest-starring Lightning.

 

[BigDes]

She can turn into a tank

 

[Tagg9]

DoA level boob physics?

Heh, well played. That would be hilarious.

 

[A.R.K]

seeing how much they are copying Uncharted...they have to provide something like Uncharted MP, so most likely something MP related

 

[adamsapple]

Voice commands

 

[Tiduz]

 

[bobbytkc]

It is a multiplayer announcement/reveal methinks.

 

[SmartBase]

 

[OniShiro]

 

[Concept17]

She can swim now?

 

[whatevermort]

honestly i hope that's Thief 4

Doesn't exist.

 

[doniewhalberg]

Am cry.

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

Fucking Facebook integration.

active reload tampons

I would say that was sexist if I weren't laughing so hard :lol

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

Edit: Sorry double post

 

[UrbanRats]

I don't think it'll be something big, this industry has a thing for hyperbole, so it could be something like Sleeping Dogs' leaderboards system and connectivity, for example.

 

[tsumineko]

Duke Nukem unlockable playable character.

 

[Hindle]

I bet it's multiplayer.

 

[Ithil]

I'm assuming Kinect.

 

[Amir0x]

CrystalD to announce the game finally has a mode that lets you play the game so it's actually anything like a Tomb Raider title?

 

[Dantis]

Multiplayer I assume.

 

[TheBioLover]

Multiplayer or Kinect is my guess. Maybe both.

 

[Oersted]

"Secret Announcement" is just about the dumbest oxymoronic marketing speak i have ever heard.

Yep.

 

[dark_inferno]

"change the way you play Tomb Raider forever"? Lara was a man befor... that would explain the sentence. I mean i would never ever stare at her ass and tits anymore and i would clearly play tomb raider different.

 

[jimi_dini]

Multiplayer I assume.

this

If you imitate Uncharted, just go the whole mile. Add a shitty multiplayer as well.

 

[Box of Bunnies]

Fully immersive virtual reality. Stepping into Lara's skin, you'll want to be protected.

 

[cameron]

Have to agree with multiplayer. They're revamped the combat into a standard cover based shooter, so perhaps something like survivors vs inhabitants.

"Change the way you play Tomb Raider forever" is a weird statement, though. What does that even mean? Whatever it turns out to be, I'd bet it will be competent, but PR will do their best to make it embarrassing for everyone involved.

 

[McBradders]

Aviatrix?

Weird choice of word given the overly long and rather stupid explanation beneath it.

 

[BowieZ]

"Secret Announcement" is just about the dumbest oxymoronic marketing speak i have ever heard.

Wait, why? Announcing a secret - i.e. such that it's not a secret anymore? Seems reasonable to me unless I'm missing something.

It would have been preferable to just announce that an announcement will be announced shortly at an announcement. Using the word "secret" just confuses people.

 

[bumpkin]

Yay, hyperbole!

 

[onken]

Sully as a playable character.

 

[falconzss]

Social game where we teach her how to swim.

 

[TunaLover]

gameplay removed, it plays as a movie.

 

[DieH@rd]

Oculus Rift support.

 

[Corky]

gameplay removed, it plays as a movie.

Well...considering how little they'd have to change to fulfill that, I doubt it'll be an announcement.

 

[Red UFO]

F-Zero

 

[Derrick01]

gameplay removed, it plays as a movie.

But...it already has really linear areas and auto platforming!

*sigh*

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Maybe they're going to announce that you don't need to protect her anymore...

 

[stryker1138]

This would never happen, but how about some Dark Souls-esque online connectivity? Maybe you can mark the best hunting spots for your friends or something. Crouch on this ledge for a sweet lungshot on that deer!

Though this game probably isn't nearly open enough to make something like that worthwhile. I bet it's just some coop challenge mode.
