Shadow of the Tomb Raider - New Render, Info...

I think missing the Core style will always be the hardest. The direction Crystal Dynamics went with Legend was wonderful as well. The Reboot always felt like the gritty combat focus didn't allow for Lara as a character to evolve into the character a lot of us wanted, but each direction has their strengths.
I am actually rather surprised not many people seem to be fond of Rise.
I thought it's a fantastic game and I enjoyed it very much. The story about the prophet, the Baba Yaga, the Trinity stuff, etc etc, I thought it was all handled well.
Maybe I am just easily pleased, haha.

I liked Rise as well. Not because of the story though.i liked the pacing. It was well balanced between combat sequences, puzzles, climbing, and stealth sections. I hated Uncharted 4 for the same reasons - it had really bad pacing. It was either action after action, or endless climbing sequences.
I liked it as well, more than the reboot. The larger scope of the hubs and better implementation of tombs added a lot for me. Lost Legacy took this style of hub exploration even further and I was hoping Shadow would expand on it as well.
i liked it too, story was a little bland but remembered me of the 80s/90s action movies that i like, its just dumb fun. and the gameplay and world was good in my book. i personally liked it more than Uncharted 4 and see it as the better Uncharted gameplaywise..
Three Uncharted references in a row. I never picked up UC4 but if you're a fan of TR '13 or Rise then Lost Legacy is definitely worth checking out.

keep in mind this forum isn't neccesserily a represenation of the masses - Rise was very well received by both critics and players alike in general.
Some of these comments make no sense. This is the third game in a reboot series that was planned to span three games. Why are people expecting a vastly different game?
As far as the screenshots are concerned, I'm surprised by the obvious jump in the graphical quality - again, weird that some people can't see that?
It's almost as though some people here 'want' to see this game fail.

What jump in graphical quality? Have we seen gameplay? Those leaked screenshots don't look better than Rise but they're also bad quality images.
I dunno if the typo's yours or from the source but its Cozumel, not Conzumel. Also its "día de muertos", I dont understand why non spanish speakers insist on adding an unnecessary "los" to día de muertos. I've seen it too man times.
And of course its set during día de muertos. Its starting to become a cliché. White foreigner visits Mexico? Look at the time! Looks like its gotta be día de muertos!
It's almost like people go into something they know they'll already hate just to hate it
The father/Trinity storyline was quite uninteresting, and rather shoehorned honestly.
That's what I don't understand about Rise: given how the reboot ended, they had a lot of cool directions to choose from and they decided to go with "mysterious-organisation-that-basically-wants-to-dominate-the-world n°4653" and have Lara find out that it was all tied to her father all this time.
There are so many things Lara could do instead of fighting generic mercenary types.
I'll take it if people's image of Mexico goes from "tiny desert cartel town" to "día de los muertos" to be honest. Baby steps! Also Conzumel sounds pretty tasty :P
It's almost as if the reboot games shit on everything that was Tomb Raider and pretty much alienated the fan base and want to play an actual TR game and not Uncharted 5.
That is true. I'd rather ppl have this as top of mind instead. But lets drop that "los".
Día de Muertos, people!

I just love how they took the Bethesda approach with this game. Announce it and release it the same year. Rockstar take notes, take many please, lol!
Hopefully the game has a good balance between exploring and action. Give me interesting tombs and outdoor locations to explore and some good puzzles with at least a bit of a challenge to them.
I see people being sad that there will be plenty of combat again, but that's part of TR now and I don't mind it. Those new things like hiding in mud also sound cool. I kinda want to stay away from more new info but at the same time I am too curious.
I'd like to see these.

I distinctly remember place that looks almost identical to this screenshot in RotTR or maybe TR 2013. I feel like TR reboot formula is quickly becoming stale at this point.This photo really dampens my excitement, looks straight out of RoTTR, I was hoping for something innovative but it's more waist high covers I guess. I just hope they expand on the tomb raiding they introduced in the last game, they were by far the best part of the game.
Uncharted took Tomb Raider, added graphics and cinematic gameplay and made two sequels. Tomb Raider took Uncharted, added survival gameplay and made two sequels. If this game will be the trilogie's Uncharted 3 that is good enough for me.
Same as the Japanese girl in the first game that they were trying to sacrifice to the sun god. Jonah was the black dude who had a small role in both the fist and second game. No idea who reyes is but i thought everyone else died.
Don't get your hopes up. I saw the scans and I didn't see Lara wearing shorts anywhere.
Second to last doesn't look like shorts? Maybe it's just the color there
Well, this is the third game. We've known this for a good while. It's time to either let it go or just be senselessly whining about the same fucking shit forever. Many have taken the later path as evidented by by TR threada
Nope. I'm positive those are just some thought pants. Low lightning and that pesky glare from the magazine fooled you.
So today we can expect previews too? With the trailer now out there and no gameplay as expected hopefully we can read what the press so far thinks of it.
You may have not liked it and I'm sure some fans were indeed alienated but fact of the matter is TR2012 is the best selling TR in the franchise after years of languishing in mediocrity. So easy there with the hyperbole.
