I don't mind seeing Eidos having a crack at Tomb Raider. I liked the level design and hub world in Mankind Divided.
Bets on there being a Jensen skin with her arms?

It says: "Exclusive extended gameplay" not trailer.

Oh now they say that gameplay won't be streamed. WTF, why?

While Uncharted always had mediocre writing held up by a good supporting cast with Nathan being a boring trope bonanza it still NEVER ever had writing as terrible as Rise where we had a char who was made to believes he has stigmata on his hands as an act from god and not from the sister who came into his room and cut them into his hands without him waking up.

Now that's some dogshit writing my friend.

I find both equally boring/bad to be honest. But still havent finished rise.

UC characters are better written for sure (people can remember sully and elena without using wikipedia) but Drake is so annoying as a protagonist that i take points out of Uncharted for it

If they're not showing gameplay, then the wording on that tweet is bullshit. "Official reveal and full trailer" suggests two different things.

Uncharted had mediocre writing? Those characters were oozing charm and fun.

Looks cool.



The gameplay reveal is from Square. That panel is from Tribeca. They're are completely separate things.

No gameplay would be a let down but there have been games before that were simply teased with CGI and gameplay at E3. Either way looking forward to tomorrow.

Nice that we have a time now too.

I am really curious to see how they will deal with what happened to Sam in the comics. Also it would be great if Shadow would finally commit to the whole Lara X Sam thing that has been hinted and speculated about but they will probably keep Lara's sexuality completely ambiguous as to not offend anybody.

SE has always been really big on having their games have a steelbook version lately which I'm fine with.

Well pratchett's not writing this game I'm pretty sure so there's that at least? Maybe these characters won't suck this time?

Keep in mind the writing team for the newer Tomb Raider games has been a team effort of three different people. Also I am pretty sure the devs at CD hadn't exactly given them a lot of room to fit much story into their games. I am hoping that this changes with Shadow.

Also Pratchett was responsible for the pretty great comic books that do quite a bit to make some of these side characters a more interesting. Worth checking out if you ever have the opportunity.

I look forward to the CGI trailer with cutscene footage and split second snippets of gameplay where get to see part of a jump.

Really hope this game will have some of those dark parts again like the 2013 game had. I really liked that. And as others have said some horror elements, why not.

Cant wait for the finale of her origin or what the fuck that supposed to mean.

Nobody asked for three games for a origin story.
I pray they be done with this arc with this game.... because seriously the old badass cool Lara who was a true icon needs to have a comeback, this doesn't feels like her at all.
should've been a red case.

For special edition yes... for standard edition no it will ruin the flow of my collection :p

Up? That's... not what I see. She seems to have got less curvature around the hips as well, judging by this render. Nothing new under the sun in 2018, curves are teh evil now.

Her new face reminds me about Milla Jovovich. No complaints there!

I didn't notice the hips but yeah, I find these changes all rather unnecessary, just like the face. I guess we'll see soon enough how this translates ingame.

But it's definitely clear that ever since the reboot they toned down with making her too much like a sexbomb or whatever. Even though the reboot did still have certain physics applied that Rise didn't anymore, lol.

All the violence and torture is fine but a bit of skin is immoral, it use to be the opposite with the classic games. People use to complain about all the animal and human killings but liked the sexualised Lara marketing.

That Lara in new games is fucking ugly, like an empty NPC. This is the 3rd game and they still don't have character designers.

So this isn't being done by the same team as 2013 and RotTR? That would be disappointing.
