Shadow of The Tomb Raider leaked trailer

There's already shades of that in the last game. You could climb trees and air assassinate.
Gameplay requires a completed engine and assets. While the developers are working for years on that, a media team can whip up videos like this.
This is a universal production issue truism. People make dumb assertions on game production in most threads. This being a rather pure distillation of that kind of gives it away.
If it isnt, err. Help.
Yep. Stuff like mass goombacide and koopacide in the Mario series always getting a pass too.
This game is a hard pass for sure, I'll be in Spidey-mode that month.
lmao. And don't forget Dave from accounting. Tell him to bring his ass over here to write some code instead of those stupid Excel sheets he's been wasting time on all day.
I didn't really love either of the previous games but I prefer they go in this Temple of Doom direction over something like Uncharted where it's so quippy it gets annoying. If they go full on edgelord it might be entertaining, but I doubt they're ballsy enough to make it into Rambo 4: Videogame Edition.
I'm sure the game will be just a good as Rise. But this trailer really isn't doing anything for me.
She could barely kill the deer in the first game, we are at game 3 now, shes over killing people, but it looks like she is realising she may not be better than who shes killing and that she is the same as them or something.
It looks like murdering people with pick-axes is one of the key marketing points for the game... wtf.
Is it? Really? You don't even play as Atreus lol.
I mean sure you can command him to shoot some arrows but it's Kratos who's behind most the killing.
well, the last game featured a lost tribe that'd traveled from syria to siberia, lived in total isolation for centuries, & somehow all spoke english. so, hey, i'd say, when it comes to 'new' tomb raider, pretty much anything goes :) ...
This isn't a leak. It's obvious a viral stunt with the actual trailer coming out today.
Anyway just like the last game and uncharted 4 I just can't play through another shooter feast. If this one doesn't focus more on plstforming and puzzles than shooting I'm out.

I'm not saying it's not the case, but how did you get to that conclusion from these tweets?
The pick axe has been a weapon since the first game. It's also always been part of marketing as well as the core gameplay as a tool for exploration & combat:
Not sure Nibel or that other picture counts as the marketing btw.

As opposed just a plain psychopath in the other games?
I'll take it.
Finally the writers have decided to take the character in a direction befitting her characterization.
Atreus does more than enough killing over the course of God of War. Sure he's killing spirits and monsters mostly, but they clearly show at the beginning that he's affected by killing an animal. Once gameplay starts he does not care at all about hurting things. Admittedly GoW is much better at contextualizing it than TR, but I was mostly just agreeing that the hate towards TR is overblown.
she looks strange in that trailer
also that's the same spot she gets stabbed in every game, ,,,,

It's like some people have never experienced a marketing campaign for the mass audience before.
'Meanwhile the guy from Hitman kills a bunch of guys and doesn't get any criticism'
So stupid.
"The End of the Beginning" "I sacrificed so much" "What will i become?"
I dont know in the trailer we get reminded that you already a mass murderer.

Why do they keep changing her face? Even if she is supposed to be older she looks completely different (hair colour aside).
That was a nice CGI trailer.
Nice to see her character finally being more than complaining, after 3 games, going closer to classic Lara.
Despite too many enemies being in the recent games, I don't really get the complaints about her being a murderer as if she never killed before though...
She kills as much as in some Uncharted games, it's just gruesome deaths instead of comic book like ones. I don't mind it, the darker tone fits.

but they want to shit on the series as much as they can. that's how it usually goes with long-running franchises.
Because tech and different artists maybe? Nathan Drake looks like a completely different person in each game. Kratos's tattoo changes throughout the games. No big deal.
Trailer didn't really do much for me. Really enjoyed Tomb Raider, Rise of the Tomb Raider was good but I preferred the first one. Not overly hyped for this game at the moment but we'll see.
One of the tweets is a clip from their newest marketing video showing Lara preparing to murder someone with a pickaxe, and the other is of press members at a marketing event posing with prop pickaxes. So... I would say it is part of the marketing for the game..
It's the new dual pistols, so no surprises here IMO. Pickaxe is the new staple for Lara Croft.
I'm not saying the game will do it well or that it won't mainly be about killing a lot of people, but I see a lot of people here jumping to conclusions from the trailer and are really conveniently ignoring that its about Lara realizing she has too much blood on her hands. They literally show it in picture, could they have been any clearer?
