Looks pretty good, reminds me of the first game which was excellent. I hope this one follows suit.

Road to redemption?

... Hasn\'t this series been trying to redeem itself for the better part of 5 years now?

... ... ... Failing worse each time?

i dunno. I feel that tomb raider helped start this, but now prince a persia just took the reigns and ran with it.

Looks cool. The adventure genre could definately use more than just PoP.

Looks like a ff-ing current multi console game again going by this ingame screenshot :

Also, what I don\'t understand is why she is wearing such few clothing in such a cold environment.

C\'mon, today\'s action adventure games are a little more realistic than in the 90\'s ; she should at least wear a winter combat outfit there.

You forgot Tomb Raider1\'s first levels it seems.It was all snowy and Lara wore as many clothes :)

Looks good in that pic.Good news are that it might return back to its TR1 roots

She looks like a human now. :)

Nice graphics, I have more faith in this new developer, so I would not be shocked if this turned out to be a pretty good game.

this game has got to do a full 360 to get my attention again...last game i bought of tomb raider was part 3..and that s**t was hard as hell, very sloppy design also..i also rented that piece of s**t angel of darkness crap..how could have those eidiots at eidos release thier top ranked game so full of bugs? this game doesn\'t have to be AAA but it has to be at least an A grade game...

Uhm, no i hadn\'t forgotten T1\'s first levels at all. My point is that I see no point in rehashing that old game.

One of the major selling points of that game was the 90\'s novelty of a playable game babe.

I truly am of opinion that is and should be an outdated thing, if Tomb Raider wants to have a good shot at reviving itself as a succes game franchise.

So, to make it adhere to the more realistic premise of today\'s games Lara should at least wear appropriate and believable outfits in each situation.
 
Judging by the screenshot, they again lack the technology to make the engine look realistic which gives a poor excuse to go for comic book (think DangerGirl) \'realism\' once more.

From the software side of it I am all for for this game to leave current consoles behind except Xbox. Create a high end base engine like Ubi did with SplinterCell 3. Otherwise they\'ll be stuck with having to port to all consoles again and thus the development budget waters down and spread over all versions. Then the engine will be adjusted for the lowest denominator again ; PS2 and NGC.

Create something new and stunning I\'d say for PC anc Xbox. Yeah, a high end engine CAN cater to new innovative gameplay.

Of course, nobody will ever listen to me ; and we\'ll get another Tomb Raider game with visuals slightly better than AoD and gameplay which is just the same as TombRaider one with maybe one single new feature ; across PS2, NGC, Xbox and PC  once more some lackluster sales for a sorry attempt at reviving a franchise.

I know Crystal Dynamics is a good dev, but this screenshot and the whole rehashed 90\'s babe concept is far from a being a renaissance.

Wow...she\'s looks more whore-ish than ever. Niiiice. ;) Just kidding. I hope this franchise can redeem itself because I couldn\'t give a damn either way. This series lost my interest a LONG time ago.
