'Rise of the Tomb Raider' Concept Art

The first one was a really good cinematic action adventure game, but I guess that's not what a lot of people want from the franchise. It did really good work with the main character, though. In fact, it did everything it tried to do pretty well, so I'm really looking forward to the second.

The complaints about her being a killing machine or whatever are just dumb. Unless people want games to be an hour and a half long, you have to just accept that as a part of games that involve gunplay and action.

The gun play is not necessary at all. The shooting was done well mechanically, but just doesn't fit thematically. Keep the bow and ditch the guns. If the game needs bad guys to kill make them supernatural mummies or undead samurai like the last game. Killing humans or even the bunnies doesn't feel right. It didn't feel right in Uncharted and it doesn't feel right here either. More puzzles and exploration. If you have humans, then adapt the mechanics from the Batman games.
 
Uncharted X Tomb Raider, it must happen ! I can't imagine how explosive a Lara, Nathan, Chloe and Elena team could be...

the current younger Lara will probably be overshadowed by Drake and co who are older and more experienced. I want to see Lara and Ellie interacting.
 
Could be Russia. They have bears in the far east dont they?
Far east? I have one sitting beside me as I type this here in Moscow.
Seriously though bears are quite common in Russia basically everywhere not only in far east.
But this can easily be Canada or Alaska as well.
 
The art looks great so far. Can't wait to see gameplay footage.

I enjoyed the game a lot, but I wish they didn't copy uncharted and make the platforming way too forgiving. Hopefully the sequel will require more skill and timing. Also hope for more exploration and less combat.

Oh shit son, an actual tomb!? If they can squeeze some proper skill-based platforming in there we might be on to something here.
 
The bow was well-done and the game was very good. Not a masterpiece, but certainly promising enough to make us want Lara Croft back in the hall of game with Master Chief, Nathan Drake, and Snake. Looking forward to this.
 
It'd be neat if they went back to some of the features in that original leaked premise for the first game, like actual survival mechanics and an open world. Probably just gonna be another Uncharted-type game though.
