We had some leaked art.

This is surprising to me, I don't like the art, but it could be an interesting direction for sure.

 

[sajj316]

Fuck bears! Give me tigers!

Fuck tigers, give me zombies!

 

[MYE]

Don't worry, you'll get your slow-mo cinematic camera scripted linear events. They're the trademark of this generation.

There are plenty of focused/linear experiences that dont fall into the "trigger the next scripted explosion" crap we see everywhere today.

I dont own Guardian of Light but thats one HUGE step in the right direction IMO.
In fact, i think i'm gonna buy that game today

 

[Skilletor]

I want to punch everybody who says Tomb Raider should be more like Uncharted.

Keep your shooting game with some shitty exploration/platforming elements away from my exploration and platforming game with shitty shooting elements.

 

[Pooya]

Thanks, amongst the more famous ships really, it's obviously not the ship in the imagine, but could be a reference to it yeah.

Got a link? I must have missed them, assuming they got a thread.

and those concept arts of undead girls works in a Japanese setting, The Ring anyone? :lol

 

[The Praiseworthy]

My Favorite Franchise side by side with the Final Fantasy.... They did such a great Job with Anniversary and it was "The Perfect" TR game so far.

So happy with the direction the series is going to now, and hey what do you see! Lara Croft is finally looking like a REAL WOMEN

So excited and happy till I read this:

"Forget everything you knew about TOMB RAIDER,"

I just hope they don't change Lara so much... she is an Iconic character it would be a heartbreaking for me if we got some emo girl instead.

I want my cool badass rich Lara Croft

 

[glaurung]

Concept art does not have enough boobs.

Still interested though, Guardian of the Light was awesome even if a great deal different.

 

[MYE]

Yeah, those monsters look stupid

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Not a huge fan initially of the new Lara, but I'll reserve judgement until I see the game. Have to say, the game does sound promising.

 

[slaughterking]

That's a nice looking Lara.

 

[toastyToast]

That art wasn't what I was expecting, which is good in a way

This could be interesting though I'm questioning the use of the Tomb Raider IP beyond brand recognition.

I remember this. :lol

Truly a bold idea that would revolutionize the industry.

If they are shooting for Uncharted, with TR quirks.... this will be a great game.

Fuck that shit. I want actual platforming.

 

[Enduin]

The leaked concept art had undead girl monsters.

If true interest is lost. I would love for it to just be a good and realistic adventure to survive on an island with some ancient flare, but if its about fighting the undead and a bunch of super natural shit I cant say Ill be very enthused.

 

[BobsRevenge]

Yeah, those monsters look stupid

I think they look pretty sweet. Like something out of a Silent Hill game, except more violent than those generally look.

 

[Kafel]

Reboot The Game

 

[Ifrit]

We had some leaked art.

Is that Kate from Lost?

 

[Prine]

Far more interesting than any Lara so far. Including the XBLA game.

 

[TheSeks]

Uh, does she really need another origins story so soon?

Core: Plane crash killed her mom and dad (IIRC or just the mom), estranged from Dad for not wanting to be royalty. Hunts tombs.
CD: Plane crash, mom and her survive. Story arc for three games about what happens to her mom. Dad isn't estranged. Hunts tombs.
CD2: Boat (WTF, but okay) beached crash. Mom and Dad are estranged(?). Survival Horror.

I'm all for new directions with the series that aren't out-right adventure/platforming games. But do we need to change the character to fit these things?

 

[StuBurns]

I think they look pretty sweet. Like something out of a Silent Hill game, except more violent than those generally look.

The monsters in SH reflect the fears of the protagonist, unless Lara is scared of generic Japanese cinema, I doubt these will be as thoughtful or meaningful to the game.

Is that Kate from Lost?

Neoism's GotY 2011 is a lock.

 

[Nemo]

Eh, Underworld Lara was best Lara

 

[Wallach]

Reboot The Game

 

[Mau ®]

Very interesting.

I thought it was freaking hilarious a while ago, until I realized navgtr was actually trolling.

 

[Nirolak]

As a note, the art is over a year old. As we can tell from the Lara art, it's not necessarily what the game looks like right now.

 

[derFeef]

I could watch at that double-cover the whole day.

 

[McBacon]

Bloodied and covered in mud. Eidos knows how I like my women.

 

[SPEA]

I like her look a lot. Looking forward to reading the article.

 

[Ellis Kim]

She looks a tad "man-ish" on the cover. Like some kind of effeminate male anime character.

What the fuck

Looks like they photoshopped a male model's face....

WAT THE FUCK???

Are you guys serious? I don't understand the series of posts from people who are either saying that she is "ew," or "mannish." What kind of guys do you hang around with, anyways?

She is very clearly feminine, and feminine enough. I don't need her to look like a fucking playboy bunny. The breast reduction in the leaked concept art is also a plus.

I, unlike some weird ass fuckwits in this thread, am highly excited for this reboot. Legend and Underworld were fuck all terrible, especially after playing the amazing piece of gaming that is Anniversary.

More platforming, near to no shooting of HUMAN enemies, and more volume in content.

 

[MYE]

What the fuck

She looks as manly as this guy:

 

[Prime crotch]

How the fuck you call that masculine? Great art, and what seems like a needed change for the series, even if I think they should focus on Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light more.

Liking the new Lara Croft.

ummm ... :lol

she got her start by being Lara Croft - http://www.tombraiderchronicles.com/lara/rhonamitra/pictures_01.html

wat, really? :lol

I didnt know that

 

[SolidSnakex]

What even gives people an indication that it's going for an Uncharted direction? If the rumors are true then it's an open world survival game. And looking at the cover, she even has the bow that she had in the concept art that mentioned the survival aspect. So, it shouldn't be anything like Uncharted.

 

[Raistlin]

MYE,

I added link to the post.


Actually, might as well just do the full google - http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&...=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&biw=1022&bih=683

There's this bizarre Tomb Raider/Uncharted turf war that must have started around the same time people were complaining how Gears of War cloned Nintendogs and vice-versa.

A Tomb Raider that cloned Uncharted would be a victory in this turf war or something I guess.

 

[StuBurns]

Tomb Raider couldn't clone Uncharted anyway, it was here first doing basically the same thing with worse shooting. Them implementing over the shoulder gun play as appose to the current terrible one is just a natural transition.

 

[∀ Narayan]

This could be awesome. I have faith in Crystal Dynamics.

 

[george_us]

Open-world survival? Eh I don't know.

It'd be cool if there are small platforming challenges you find scattered about in addition to the main Tombs. If there platforming is heavily reduced then I probably won't be buying it.

 

[Haunted]

Bloodied and covered in mud. Eidos knows how I like my women.

This reads like a bash.org quote.

 

[Xater]

I like the way Lara looks so far. Hopefully they will keep the breast size also at realistic levels.

 

[Vinterbird]

We don't even know if there is tombs. This sounds like a survival-horror game, which is awesome since they are rebooting and redefining what Tomb Raider means.

really?:lol
previous Tomb Raider and Uncharted games have little in common as far as gameplay goes and this one doesn't imply anything Uncharted like, at least the Uncharteds I've played are not anything like TRs.

 

[Jerk]

Why Does she look like Hilary Swank?

Stop complaining you fool.

She looks a tad "man-ish" on the cover. Like some kind of effeminate male anime character.

Get out!

 

[Dead Prince]

she should be balder.

No, those people are fictional (I hope), but I feel they share a lot in common with the other group.
