Thats what.......the 6th reboot or something? How is this reboot any different?

Open world? Ummmm ... raiding ... tombs? Yeah, I'm with you. No idea.

This game will feature primitive CGI, rigid voice acting, dull storylines and, oh, Lara Croft will have blue skin.

The only reboot so far has been Legend, when Eidos took the series from Core and gave it to Crystal Dynamics.

After tomb raider 3, all I've heard is 'the next tomb raider will be epic, will have this and that, will be a reboot, blah blah blah", I'm still waiting for a decent tomb raider ¬_¬ They should work with Naughty Dog. I'm sorry, I've just lost the will to pointlessly shoot dogs, endangered species, plants, dinosaurs and anything else they can possibly make move and attack you, oh yeah, great, thats all in matrix slo mo mode now. You also can't forget the fact that all the traps are suspiciously easy considering there is always conveniently something like a crate nearby to hold a door open.

@bowser

I think the game you are thinking of is " XMEN: revenge of Mystique"

Yuo mindless trolls just buy into whatever the gaming media says. Did you even play "Legend" or did you just say "poo poo" because the sites told you it wasn't the most amazing game ever made.

It wasn't, it didn't break new ground or blow anyone away.. but it was a good game.
The presentation was much better, voice acting was decent enough, new Lara model was better and while the gameplay was familiar it played a lot smoother than previous installments. All around it was the best Tomb Raider game since the first.. maybe even better than that. (Not really a TR fan so I won't presume to make that call.)

The point is.. so many people trash good games as if it were fashionable.. like somehow having the same opinion as a bunch of sweaty geeks who chronically masturbate onto their keyboards and avoid the sun like vampires validates you?

Try thinking for yourself once in a while.

You're aware that Uncharted was basically a direct rip of Tomb Raider Legend? It's definitely worth playing and was a great reboot. The only thing the rebooted TR games failed at was combat, and that's what Uncharted did really well.

WiredKnight @ Jul 11th 2009 3:51PM

But it's not even a reboot. They're calling it an "origin story," which makes it a prequel.

sony boy @ Jul 11th 2009 4:14PM

umm... actually uncharted is better than tomb raider in 99% every way.

It's half gears and half tomb raider and it's awesome.

@ Bastard11: So playing all the tomb raiders is listening to media? I wouldn't have a leg to stand on if I hadn't played them all before making my opinion. But I have, and my opinion remains the same, yes legend was a nice 'little' reboot, but I still wouldn't
classify it as a breath of fresh air.

@ Snowblind: Maybe so, which is good thing to a certain extent because Legend is the last decent TR I've played, anniversary was meh. Not only that, I'm just bored of Lara in particular overall, the character development is rather dire, so now shes more of a cardboard cutout rather then a character I can actually 'like'. I don't even see her as british anymore :| It sounds so put on its unbelievable.

I dunno, TR 1 and 2 both had me hooked, 3 had me hooked but not as much as the first 2, everything after that just seemed to be disasterous, I can see they tried to implement new gameplay styles, characters and even tried to sort out the storyline, but the general jist of it is the same, find a trap, find a crate to stop the trap, find a locked door, find a crate to open the locked door, find another locked door, find a lever to open one side of the locked door, find another lever to open the other locked door, shoot some bears, shoot some monkeys, shoot some evil organisation men trying to steal artifacts, shoot more evil men. I'm just wondering what the next installment will be like if this were to keep up, shoot more evil men? On a horse instead of a bike this time?

Besides, Lara should be happily married with two kids by now, they should be the next adventurers.

To top it all off, Megan Fox gets to be the next films Lara apparently, perfect considering Lara's been loosing personality recently.

Zach S @ Jul 11th 2009 5:44PM

It kinda looks like Lara Croft with Zombies and a bow-and-arrow, which makes no freaking sense BUT WHATEVER. Anyhow, for the record, TR:Legend was great.

Maverick Saturn (Igor) @ Jul 11th 2009 6:45PM

Since its owned by Square now, I guess she'll have some kind of sword bigger then herself to jump around with, or maybe dante-like gun skills.

The Baron @ Jul 12th 2009 10:26AM

I can't think of a cool way to make it work. Maybe a Far Cry 2 style 'survival' game where she has to explore and chase some artifact or lost city, while managing her health and ammo in a Crysis-style open jungle?
