It’s a trend you’ve seen in a ton of movies till date, and now a full-fledged reboot of the Tomb Raider series is incoming in the form of an "origins" story. Forget about the Lara Croft you’ve seen and thought about on those lonely nights; this one is “younger and inexperienced” but that doesn’t mean she isn’t smoking hot.
According to US video game magazine, Game Informer (who by the way are the guys getting the exclusive reveal this month), this reboot is one born out of necessity and not choice. In it Lara Croft finds herself ship-wrecked on a desolate island where she must use every trick in the book to survive. Rumors circulating the net a while back suggested that the game may play out in the vein of an Assassin’s Creed with a huge emphasis on free-roaming, which we’re sure will tie into the platforming segments. Furthermore, there were whispers around the water-cooler that the game would in fact have certain shades of "survival horror" as well.
Some more Info on how the game will be: Story Line: -
"After a brutal storm destroys the boat she was travelling on, a frightened young woman is left washed ashore on an unknown beach. On her own but not alone she has only one goal, to survive."
Here begins the first adventure for a young and inexperienced Lara Croft in a story which charts the journey of an ordinary woman who finds out just how far she must go in order to stay alive.
Game elements:-
Lara Croft will be 21 in Tomb Raider
Tomb Raider will be rated M for Mature / 18+
There will be no real life Lara Croft model
Tomb Raider is a reboot of the brand, not only the series
There are brutal deaths in the game this time. One is described as a deranged man stabbing Lara in the chest and another includes a boulder falling on her leg to trap her before another falls and crushes her head.
Weapons to include a shotgun, bow and pistols
The lock on targeting system is gone and it now has a free aim system
There are base camps in the game. Here you can combine items to create something new and access a skill system to upgrade Lara's abilities. You'll also be able to use base camps to fast travel to different locations to minimize backtracking.
You'll need to gather food and water in order to survive
There are humans in the game, including some of the crew members from the shipwreck off the coast of the island.

YAY for the new Lara. Here's her concept art from GI magazine:
And guess what's my new wallpaper now :

I have played few till TR-underworld...wanted to play Anniversary...
don't switch to anniversary after playing underworld. you won't last long (hard gameplay & annoying at times) & its a bad logic to try a previous game after playing the latest. but when i played underworld, it was so much buggy taken away the excitement of playing it.
I don't like the new look. She looks a lot less tomboyish
Dude, she looks real bad ass. I think, they were shooting for this kind of looks. Its like she has just killed 1000bad dudes. Good to see Lara finally out of that glamorous and rich circle. I must say, the best Lara concept
All i can expect is the game is going to be Gritty, bad ass and dark

Nah, she looks more vulnerable IMO. And that besmirched look with scar above nose looks cheap. It's too trite and hackneyed.
^^ will it be a sequel to Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light? or is this some kind of totally new project?

Sounds completely new. But there might be few old characters showing up here and there(I guess). This is new Lara(?). Or she might be our good old Lara and might have forgotten the skills she is having because of the accident they have mentioned.

For me The Tomb Raider character combat movements are stiff....not flexible as AC or POP...hope this new one has some smooth combat moves...

Agreed. A bit lousiness is always there in Tomb Raider games. She is agile no doubt about that, animations in the games are great. But issues with Collision detection, Clipping, tends to take away the fun. And I think, we are not alone here.

It's not THE Lara that we have known all this while. Here's a quote from Darrell Gallagher; Head of Studio, Crystal Dynamics:
Quote:
"Forget everything you knew about TOMB RAIDER. This is an origins story that creates Lara Croft and takes her on a character defining journey like no other."
So this game will try to explore the roots of how Lara actually came to be. There is a huge article in Gamer Informer's latest issue about the game. She looks young and more rugged. Besides, this is only a concept art, the final look within the game is yet to be seen.

She looks awesome and tough...i hope the devs come up with new combat style as the Splinter cell: conviction guys did...something different instead of just gun fights

TR isn't about combat but more about adventure & exploration. more like Uncharted -(minus) the combats.

sounds good. now waiting doe the game. BTW, any announcement about the release date? chances are it won't show up until H2 2011.
anyway whatever be, a different gameplay style is always appreciated. something that doesn't feels like a expansion pack.

stiff & not flexible...i dnt think so......they have improved her lot from anniversay part....
she was more acrobatic & flexible in both anniversary & underworld....& the story of latter is pretty good....
to check her flexibilty just hit the crouch button repeatedly....while running...& u will knw how flexible & acrobatic she is.....
gamers loved her adrenaline dodge & head shot kill(true life saver)..& there lots of movements that appreciate her flexibility....like pole jumping,rope-wall run etc etc....
& the prince of persia....acrobatic u r refering is inspired from tomb raider....

I do agree...she did had acrobatic skills but weren't as smooth as they are in AC and POP....also i am talking in terms of combat...though she was so acrobatic as u hv mentioned but this was never much used in combat...as if she was helpless without guns.
And now that this one is going to be based on an island..hope she would be better in hand to hand combat as she is in weapon combat...it has to hv some cinematic exp as the COD and Splinter cell games possess.

I wished Uncharted -2 was available on pc....well i know TR is not all about combat...its abt exploration and adventure...but sometimes it becomes annoying solving the puzzles...

its is very well used.....only thing needed is practice..for doing acrobatic skills while shooting....& dodging....

yup its all about exploration coz lara is an archeologist.....she loves exploration...
patience is needed for solving puzzles.....if u have dat then no puzzle is difficult....
i my opinion the puzzles r not very tough & only thing will annoy u is to try same level more than once....coz u die..die...many times from fall......which
everybody admits is irritating......but sooner or later is achieved...
