IGN put up a video of a peek at apparently one of the craziest tombs in the upcoming Rise of Tomb Raider.

The timed platforming near the end looks to be neat.

 

[BluenoseGames]

Looks great!

Lara is Spiderman now?

 

[cormack12]

Game is looking superb. Really can't believe I'll have to wait an entire year for this on PS4.

Oh yes.

Join us on the dark side brother.

 

[Fbh]

Nice to see that they are focusing a bit more on the tombs and puzzles aspect of the franchise.

Games looks greatl

Lara is Spiderman now?

She's not a superhero.

Lara is Spiderman now?

 

[justsomeguy]

All that effort just for a codex?

Damn... talk about short changed

 

[JimmyRustler]

Can't wait for the OC version next year. Mad jelly @ my Xbone friends...

 

[Wanderer5]

Got reminded a bit of the solar system model puzzle in the first Tomb Raider movie, which funny enough was also in Siberia I believe.

Lara is Spiderman now?

Heh well Lara had the grappling hook in previous games, plus rope swinging too.

 

[TimeEffect]

I'm all in if the exploration and puzzles are as neat as they appear

 

[Trigonometrize.]

Crystal Dynamics has spoiled so much of this game it's insane.

 

[Fury451]

They're showing a lot of this. I don't think that's a great idea. That being said, this is the first video I've watched in a bit, it's actually kind of cool. I look forward to picking it up eventually when I can. I also really like the reboot game, despite it's flaws in combat focus. This seems to be striking the more palatable balance.

No where near as much as the reboot.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Are these optional like in the first game? Since from recollection most were in TR. I really don't want to spend my time on puzzles sorry everyone.

The game of the movie of the game.

 

[Nimby]

Looks like a complete step up from the first.

There's optional tombs and main story tombs so you're good.

 

[matrix-cat]

I swear to God this Lara could break Olympic long jump records from a standing start

 

[blast processed]

All that money to get help and she's still has symptoms of schizophrenia.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Ok that works out then. I can understand some being mandatory.

 

[EagleEyes]

Man November 10th is gonna be amazing for Xbox owners with this gem and FO4 coming. Can't wait.

 

[Falchion]

This is gonna be fun on a bun.

 

[Darth Kupi]

Btw does Lara in this have the original reboot face or that hideous man-face from the definitive edition?

Or is it different altogether?

 

[Triggerhappytel]

It looks good, but I'd need to see the full thing, not edited into a two-minute video. This kind of platforming and actual environmental puzzling is what I missed from TR2013, and was my favourite part of TRAnniversary.

 

[Garlador]

Tombs in my Tomb Raider?

Doesn't Crystal Dynamics know this is a sequel to the reboot?

 

[Justinh]

IIRC, it a different face. I could be wrong, though. I don't think so...


That looked really neat, thanks OP.

 

[link1201]

Are tombs still optional?

 

[op_ivy]

I'll pick this up eventually and don't want to spoil this. Sounds like an provement over tr1s tombs, which is great

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Does this game even know what it wants to be? This is Tombraider, Crystal Dynamics, TOMBRAIDER.

 

[Kezen]

I blame myself for looking at way too much footage of the game.

I wish I was strong enough to have gone into full blackout long ago.

Oh well with the game releasing 5 months or so later on PC I was going to get spoiled anyway.

How is it not raiding tombs?



Especially in this video, they seem to be doing a pretty good job at appealing to the title.

TR2013 was pretty good. Bought the remastered edition. Loved the tombs because the puzzles were good! Everything involving collectibles was a pain in the ass though.

Is MS really only allowing it on Windows Store? And what date? Rather play this and F4 on my PC with maxed out settings. Well for most 3rd Party anyway. Can't wait.

 

[STEaMkb]

Why didn't she just bring an extendable ladder? She could get her fingers trapped in that device.

 

[0racle]

crazy

That's not Tombraider, that's Sly Cooper. It doesn't matter how fantastical a tomb is or how incredible the mechanisms are for navigating them, they MUST at least stay within the realms of possibility so that they feel grounded. This is just platforming for platforming sake.

That video made my wait so much easier.

 

[Corpsepyre]

Game's looking good. Don't know why MS is pushing this to release on the same day as Fallout 4 though.

 

[Tinfoilhatsron]

Is every game going to have grappling hooks now?

 

[ViolentP]

I wouldn't call it crazy. It's neat, sure, but not crazy.

 

[Amentallica]

I swear I saw something similar in Metroid Prime.

 

[Deltoid]

it actually looks really good, much better than anything else they've shown

 

[moeppel]

man, by the time they release this game I don't have to play it...

 

[Pound_lb003]

The reboot was pretty silly in that regard, too.

Plenty of unbelievable stuff. I think it's why I don't like the serious tone of the game, set against it's ridiculous events.

 

[Alienous]

That was good. Having the rope not disappear would be better, but it was good. Best I've seen of the game yet.

 

[Blobbers]

Looks like a jumbled, uninspired mess of level design. Nothing in this video managed to elevate my hype levels which are at medium right now. I'm still sure the game will be fun for a playthrough, though.

Camilla Luddington bad as always.

 

[Stilton Disco]

Yep, that's what I want from Tomb Raider. I mean the shooting and stabbing stuff is great, but big complex three dimensional puzzles? Fucking love it.

I'm still pissed off by the timed exclussivity deal on the least popular platform thing mind (especially given that it means it's still a year off for me), but there's every chance this might end up being my game of the year.

Just, sadly, next year.

 

[Sanctuary]

Cool I guess, but it still doesn't hold a candle to the real tombs from the older Tomb Raider games. It's still incredibly small.
I liked the previous TR for what it was, but it was sure no "Tomb Raider".

 

[Darth Kupi]

Why didn't she just bring an extendable ladder? She could get her fingers trapped in that device.

Or, you know, attach her grapple to a harpoon gun and skip all of it.

Surely she can afford it.
