make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
I don't think the in game model does well to capture the awesomeness of the concept art (redesigned Lara)... I'm not talking about IQ. I mean, things like proportion and general look of the character.
Most of my excitement for this was in direct response to the character's redesign... looks like they missed the mark.
Still excited because I love TR and think this is still a huge improvement. Just not as excited.

IIRC ZephyrFate liked FFXIII so I don't think that's it.Ceebs said:

I think she's cauterizing a wound with a cigar in that first image? Maybe a little snake eater first aid action to match the gore style?
Anyway, I like the direction theyre going with Lara but these screens aren't very impressive. Probably looks better in motion.

Looks fantastic. Great to see them finally get away from Lara's classic blow-up doll look and make a character that actually resembles a human being.

Has this been confirmed as being rated-M? Looks like it so far.
And not really digging the realistic Lara design, but it does fit well with the games tone.

Well I'm only basing it off of the articles and these current screens. But the game seems to be deviating from classic Lara and like it or not, will be compared to hell and back with Uncharted. It's seemingly like the whole Forza/GT thing again, where the newcomer...actually, I'm going to stop.MightyHedgehog said:

Looking good. CD made some fine looking games with the last TR's and I don't expect them to deliver anything less here.
I love it that these shots still show some isolation, which is what the TR series is about for me. Yet, its a very different isolation, one that give off a sense of dread.

My guess is that she'll be bloody depending on how injured she is and that treating your injuries might end up being an important part of the game. We'll see.Londa said:

Yeah the whole injury aspect, while squeamish for me, is really cool.badcrumble said:

that doesn't jibe with the 'open world' thing we're hearing though. i mean it could be Mafia 2 esque in construction, but even that would probably set it up as different enough from Uncharted 2 to prevent people claiming that this next Tomb Raider is ripping it off.CrushDance said:
honestly, what we know of the tone, the story, etc... i don't think Uncharted is a valid comparison at all. the only things it appears to have in common with Uncharted are the things that Uncharted has in common with the Tomb Raider games that predate it.

Yeah because the flashy graphics were the only thing I liked about FFXIII. Troll harder.badcrumble said:

She is pulling out some sort of spike/arrow thing from her side, that's gotta hurt.Reilly said:
Anyone been able to figure out what is going on here?
Until we see this in action I really have no idea what to think, right now all I am seeing is low res mud.

Looks good. Really looking forward to the open world aspect of the game. Love the new Lara design, best one yet.

Looks good to me. But this early, who can say for sure?
I'll wait it out.

it'd be pretty good if they did one of those end scenes after the credits. lara is in bed sleeping with her back turned away from the door. you see this figure quietly tip toeing into bed, lara turns the lamp on and looks at the figure; it's sully from uncharted. he's like "suck my goddamn dick" and the screen fades to black with a lot of slurrping noises.Solo said:
then in uncharted 4 you have to babysit their kid. it'd be like the yoshi's island of the uncharted series.

If I had the power I would ban pointless Uncharted discussion in Tomb Raider threads and vice-versa.
BTW, is Lara fixing a broken finger with a splint. A Snake Eater style healing system would be great if it didn't involve so much menu navigation and you could see visible effects of it.
Obviously sexy crossover discussion would be exempt from the ban

These screenshots look technically and artistically pretty nice, but this is not what I want from my Tomb Raider at all.
Not the super realistic look, not the filth and the blood and grime, and not the story rewrite. I always enjoyed that the TR games were quite unreal (not the engine) and full of levity, and occasionally the melodrama.
I think for the first time since AoD, I'll be checking out of this franchise for a while.

If you like classic Tomb Raider, there are already more games on the market than anyone ever needed, so you're set.Giolon said:

that picture with the belt and the rebar is from a moment very early on in the game.
lara is as we see suspended upside down. she gets down by setting her ropes on far and gets impaled on a rebar as she falls. this injury is apparently important as the game progresses. she protects it while shuffling through a tight space, she winces when it gets hit, and so forth all during gameplay i believe... if it does anything more than that, i don't know, but clearly it's to enforce the notion that this younger Lara isn't bulletproof emotionally or physically.

somehow i can't see Lara felating anyone. the word 'strap on' comes to mind for some reason actually.Chinner said:

Some of those are not too flattering, particularly the one with the flames. It's definitely no Uncharted 2.

I never thought I would be genuinely excited for a Tomb Raider game ever again. But man. If they can deliver on the gameplay stuff from the GI article, then this could be a great reboot.
