for once i am interested for Tomb Raider, as much as i like the 1st and 2nd one their recent games were really pale, but now i am excited :)
please make Legacy of Kain in the same vein as Neir but more darker and grittier it's the least you can do for the franchise :)

After Portal 2 this is my most anticipated game right now. I know a lot of people are going to compare it to Uncharted. These people are uneducated. Let them sway you naught.
@PrinceHeir
Kain....darker. [SPOILERS!] Kain ripped Raziel's wings off in jealously and kicked him in the abyss of the netherealm.
If that's not dark enough....wow.
Also, LARA IS BACK. (Though technically Underworld is her proper comeback, but people apparently underrate it. Its a gem.]
@Dv8th
You know what was shit? Killer Instinct for SNES.
Took me forever to migrate my ultra combo skills to the console port. Though getting killer cuts was sweet and....wait, whadda we talkin bout?!

well that was something O_O but if they can make it more darker why not :D i think they definitely put some more blood to it and keep the witty voice acting that's why i love em ^^
Don't really get the point of the dirt blah blah blah, but at least I don't see any blazing gun fights or anything. As long as they haven't made the platforming into a shitty QTE and they still have fun puzzles I'll be happy.
Also the Killer Cuts CD owns and I wish I still had mine. KIIIIILLEEER, KIIILLEEEEEER, OOOOOOOOOOOH SHE'S A KILLLLLLLER

wait, before we get into further discussion. Everybody needs to know that Uncharted was the first game to have caves and jungles, and general outdoors'y exploration antics.
everybody got that?
ok

ok
Looks interesting, not really a fan of the series though, so this went from "don't give a shit" to "cool I guess".
The past few real Tomb Raider entries have been the most accessible of the whole series. The playstation ones were great, but they were hard to control. Legend and the other one (can't remember the name atm) were fucking awesome.
I have great faith that this is going to be an amazing exploration style game, with some awesome multiplayer

Looks almost like a survival horror game. Color me intrigued, but also sort of apprehensive. I would have liked to see some more indication of what the gameplay is supposed to be like, because these screen shots are telling me it looks survival horror-ish. Like a Silent Hill game.
Maybe with a little bit of platforming, but for all these screenshots are telling me that's far from the focus. The screenshots here don't proclaim "You're going to climb the SHIT out of these environments". I would have liked to see a bit more of the climbing in action, especially given the fact we're not seeing any weapons play here either. So these screenshots don't really do anything for me. Especially not the one event which shows a QTE.
Maybe I'm overanalyzing what could wind up being mostly shots from a single cutscene, but I'll paraphrase Sephiroth X: These screenshots were carefully chosen and released specifically to cause a reaction. As someone who bought all three Crystal Dynamics-developed Tomb Raider games, my reaction is confusion and disappointment. Were this a new IP, I'd barely be interested since it shows nothing new, and aside from the vista of the ship graveyard, the screens aren't very impressive from a graphics or environments standpoint.
As it stands, I'm now firmly in the "wait and see" instead of "excited for new Tomb Raider" camp, which means this marketing ploy took me down a step from where I was before. If Crystal Dynamics (or SquareEnix) had any sense, they'd have teased one or two in-game shots (like the ship graveyard one I mentioned, which DOES make me interested) before releasing a few more shots down the line which emphasize gameplay.

I wonder whether this new Lara is swift enough to ponder "How did all these candles get, so recently, lit?"
This looks more and more like Natalie Drake's Tomb Raider, but there's nothing wrong with that in my mind. I'm loving the new Lara too. There's definitely a difference in the way she looks, but if you compare the old Lara to the new it's not like it's an apples to oranges comparison.
I'm going to give it a chance. Tomb Raider has built up a lot of goodwill lately with three excellent games (four if you count GotL), I think they've earned the right to try something new with the series.
Wow, so in order for this game to be good, Lara needs to have abnormal sized breasts again and they need to paint rainbows on the walls of the caves, because caves can't be brown.
I was really looking forward to this game when the image and rumour started a couple of years ago (it seems) but after finding out that square enix is involved now scares me. they can make anything look amazing but in my opinion 2010 just wasn't their year.
Nice! Looks like Lara finally got that boob reduction surgery... which should make shimmying along edges much less painful!
Isn't this the THIRD goddamn "reboot"?
Either stick with someone or end the series. I'm sick of seeing you, Lara.

I still do not know what to think. There has been nothing wrong with Lara or Tomb Raider since Legend.

How shocking that someone named "westerngamer" would love gritty reboots full of brown.
Game is a definitely a no buy for me so far, doubt that will change, it's all terrible choices so far.

Good job assuming there. My name has more to do my falling out with Japanese games this gen. And yes, realistic settings should not have realistic color palettes. Seriously, this TR rebirth is not such a far stretch. You might have an argument if it was Mario or something like that, but you don't have a leg to stand on with TR.
And terrible choices all around? The only thing shown is that they started when she was younger and transformed her from an adolescent sex symbol to a realistic woman. So terrible.

I didn't play Tomb Raider for realistic serious gritty exploring, it was about running around shooting dinosaurs as said sex symbol. Also my assumption turned out to pretty true either way then I'd say.

Apparently tombs are not dark and dirty but filled with rainbows and farting unicorns. I rather it takes this darker direction than turning Lara back into a ridiculous sex object aimed at thirteen year old boys.

I'm convinced that old Lara's huge-looking boobs were a result of a decently large chest and way too much stretching, which resulted in early sagging. No woman with a moderate chest can flip around like that that often, even with the best sports bra.
Great, now I squicked MYSELF out.

How do you know there won't be any dinosaurs? Yes, the 13 screenshots CONFIRM that there will be not ANY fantasy elements. Much like people say about Uncharted pure realism, right. And no, your assumption didn't, since I already said that if Mario did this you would have a leg to stand on. Reading comprehension, reading comprehension.
Also, what Zantetsuken said.

They're also not full of sharks, underwater caverns, dinosaurs, giant snake monsters and so on, it's called fantasy for a reason. This is why I hate gritty reboots, not everything has to be realistic, imagination is a cool thing some times, even if it's completely on the silly side.

Unless you have some incredible clairvoyance, you have no idea that those elements are not present in the game. She has a whole island to work with, not just a series of caves. Your assumptions remind me of all the people that were calling for Ninja Theory's head after the Dante redesign, and then Capcom came said it was them. Oops, foot in mouth.
