This suck. I've always been a fan of the Tomb Raider series and Crystal Dynamics was doing really well with their reboot. Now we get this? Bleck.

I give up.. I thought they'll probably thry to be like Uncharted, but no they fucked it up.

why do i see jill valentine in the header?

Also, Tomb Raider in my opinion was never actually "good" past II, so I'm not surprised they might shill out the series at this point.

I...don't know what to say about this at all. Even of it's awesome, I still want new traditional Tomb Raider games, as well.

This already looks a billion times more interesting than any previous Tomb Raider game.

I did have this thought actuallly... way to devalue a brand.

Hopefully a real game is also coming.

I always thought Tomb Raider was trash. I welcome the change, although the IP still holds zero interest for me.

@Cr0ss
Even Tomb Raider II, for it's time?

C'mon man :D

@Matthew Razak, Klarden and Matan
Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't the first Tomb Raider games more about puzzles/exploring and less about combat? The way I see it, they're just moving back to the days of Tomb Raider 1&2.

Looks pretty good, but like some others have said i hope they continue to make a full TR game. This could keep intrest till then, especially if its got a level editor ;)

They had me until isometric. As much as the last Tomb Raider wasn't good enough to exist in the post-Uncharted world, at least it wasn't destined to fail by being shackled with an unplayable perspective.

i don't know what the grumbling is about, i am totally ready for this.
everyone knows isometric is the way of the future. that was sarcasm, but i do think this looks interesting.

let the arguments over "I get to play Lara, you play the sidekick" commence! :)

Yeah, no. This isn't Tomb Raider.

Then again, I guess the title already confirmed that.

I guess it will be a nice diversion for a bit , but hope this doesn't replace the main series. Looks good for a DL title.

Lara Croft's Vagrant story on the Solstice?

This is a massive letdown. Because even these type of games done well are only okay once through on a slow day and no new games in your library.
I've been a big day one buyer of Tomb Raider since the reboot with Legends and thought Crystal Dynamics were doing a great job.

I wish games like Uncharted would have pumped them up that games of that type do sell and people want them and got them charged up to improve some stuff (like the combat) and go even farther than than did.
When you compare Legend to Underworld, they showed huge improvement and on track they could even one day overthow Uncharted. Maybe. The potencial is there, anyway.

But this? This is a throw in the towel, try to score some last bit of change off casual gamers.
You can balk that I don't know, I haven't played the game. Fair enough, that's true.
But who over the age of 25 hasn't played an isometric platformer? There's only so much you can do gameplay-wise.
Now all I can do is hope this is some side project, like an arcade here but a real game next year.
Because this? This is trying to use brand recognition on an average type of arcade game. This doesn't make me think reboot and fresh start, it feels like given up and feeding off the corpse.

This is a goods idea.

Geez what's with all the boring conservative gamers here? Did I miss the part of the announcement that said "And there will never be another 3rd person Tomb Raider!"? Personally I'm just interested to see how this works.

nooo... i need more boobs and arses.... =p

@Twin65050, GOOD POINT!! i didn't even notice! they're probably just expanding the brand into these arcadey games and keeping the normal tomb raider series going..

This kinda bums me out. The current-gen Tomb Raiders have actually been pretty good while getting unnecessarily ignored. I was hoping that Crystal Dynamics would get to keep perfecting that formula.

@garethxxgod

If you haven't played the last 3 games (the rebooted series), you'll be shocked at how good the controls are in them. Since Crystal Dynamics rebooted the series, they control beautifully.

Chalk up another disappointed Tomb Raider fan. It could still be fun, I won't knock it until I try it, but I'm far from excited. Which is only made worse considering how excited I was by the concept art.
