Shadow of the Tomb Raider - New Render, Info...
- Thread starter NeoRaider
- Start date
Woah, that box art is badass. Has a great composition.
I was pretty disappointed by Rise, but I loved Tomb Raider 2013. I'll keep an eye on this and see if it looks to make any improvements. I like the tone it has going for it at least.

Those Mayan temples are perfect for Tomb Raider. Hopefully this time around some actual challenge in these puzzles. I feel that Underworld had this nicely done and reboot and Rise not too great in that aspect.
I would be far more invested in a story about Lara's relationship issues then yet another story about fighting a mysterious shadow organization to avenge her father.
That has got to be the most tired-ass plot line in the history of video games.
Good. After all this teasing it would be a bummer to only get a trailer.
It's kind of customary at this point! Didn't they give her a facial redesign between TR2013 and it's own port to next-gen consoles as well?!
In for this...ready for Lara in the reboot to actually become the tomb raider ...you know raid more tombs and shoot slightly less people ....
It looks like Dia De Los Muertos will be part of the game too:
Also HQ Croft Edition pic:
Her face here looks pretty close to the 2013 face render used on the steelbook edition. I don't think she's going to look like she does in the magazine. Probably finally nailing her 2013 target design?
Do people compare Nathan Drake's dong sizes in Uncharted threads too or nah?
Not sure, but we had threads upon threads years ago comparing how much more toned and fuller he looked in the chest, as well as the physics on his chest hair, plus lots of cries for shirtless Drake skins, so...
Oh get over yourself. They removed any semblance of personality and imperfections and gave her a generic barbie-like dollface.
What questions were they asking, and what was the context for them to 'fridge' her?
As would I, but that 'relationship' story kinda already happened in TR2013, depending on how you look at it.
And going off the popular response to that game's narrative being more focused 'cognitive dissonance' argument on Lara's being helpless in cutscenes vs mowing hundreds of solarii down in gameplay, and a lot of people not liking the overall story of saving Sam in terms of sufficient motivation, I don't think Crystal Dynamics wanted to push the envelope with Rise - hence their fridging Sam off-screen, but still using Jonah, for some reason.
But in any event, Shadow is gonna be 'real' important in whether or not they actually show Lara enjoying the tomb raiding and exploring, and not ONLY doing this for revenge for Daddy. Which is why Sam (and even Jonah and Reyes) appearing would have been potentially neat.
There were a fair few questions along the line of asking if Lara and Sam are lesbians, essentially.
It was even asked directly to Rihanna Pratchett, I think.

Oh damn, you're right actually. Had not paid attention to that other cover art. Looks nothing like the magazine indeed, good.

Good catch. Also considering the movie came out, I am sure they want it 'similar' as well.
People were curious about the "closeness" of Lara and Sam's "friendship," especially fueled by comments the writer, Rhianna Pratchett, made about how she had wanted to make Lara gay.
In the comics that take place between the first and second game, Sam gets fridged when the Himiko spirit resurfaces inside her and she goes nuts and ends up locked in a mental institution. In a second series of comics after the second game she gets freed from the spirit again and Lara sends her away to keep her safe from Trinity.
Hopefully this one won't be woefully inept in terms of writing.
What was the response?
She stated that she considered making Lara gay, but chose not to.
Whether you believe that response or not is up to you, but something tells me Square Enix wouldn't allow a writer to "choose" something as groundbreaking as making Lara gay.
Watch as the last scene will be a kiss between her and Sam while each of them hold a single pistol.
I don't know why in the hell they're bringing back Reyes.
Her single role in the game was to constantly second-guess every single thing Lara did just because in every survival story you need the one asshole who has to be contrarian.
Like I want more of that.

I don't like this confusion about whether her friends are returning or not at all. Camilla pretty much says they aren't . I wouldn't mind though. Give her new allies, new people. Also after the ending of Rise I wouldn't really expect her friends to come back.
Where did they even go to after TR 2013?

I'm really excited about this one... hope we see a long gameplay video plus the trailer of course.
Can't wait :D !
Can't wait :D !
Look at the bright side, it's another chance for the character to be killed off.
I really didn't like her either.
So Sam ain't coming back? Goddamn it. I swear to god if Reyes and Jonah DO come back but Sam doesn't
Goes for both Reyes and Sam then. So only Jonah and those new folk from Rise perhaps?
Camilla Ludington would know this over some magazine I'm sure.
I want an edition of the game with the bottle opener & flashlight but without the statue too u_u
It's definitely disappointing. I enjoy the gameplay of these games but they had a real missed opportunity to do something special and groundbreaking and instead decided to cave like cowards.
What am I missing here? Why is it considered such a disaster that Sam and Reyes likely are not returning? What groundbreaking thing are we talking about?
I was excited for the statue, but then the close up revealed the season pass, the soundtrack, AND a bottle opener in the shape of her ice pick? Man alive, I couldn't be more excited to just pre-order.
