Tomb Raider cover unveiled (TR and UC, pretty much apples and oranges)

[QUOTE="Obviously_Right"]

Too bad the game itself is a poor man's Uncharted.

I've already played it, it's pretty good but nothing special.

It has a LOT of QTE's, when ever you need to get across something or get high up places its constantly "press x to jump to next ledge, tap L2/R2 repeatedly to dodge stuff, move the analogs etc.

It's a good game but certainly not on Uncharted's lvl which is a shame I wanted this to be amazing

Here we go again :|

The only thing the two series have in common is main protagonist being a treasure hunting adventurer, travelling the globe. In actual game mechanics and design, they are significantly different in their focus.

Uncharted has a focus on action first, exploration second, which is very linear and scripted.

Tomb Raider has a focus on exploration and puzzle solving first, action second, with open environments that are themselves the puzzle that can be solved in non linear fashion.

Where are the boobs? If I wanted to play a game like that without boobs on my protagonist I'll play Uncharted. Tomb Raider is dead to me! DEAD!kuraimen

You want boobs? Here are BOOBS :P:P

It was hard. I would dig a remake with the mechanics current TR games have. Or another one like it.freedomfreak

Did you finish it ?

Yeah I would like a remake too since I completely missed that game's story seeing as I didn't get far. But I doubt it would happen.

Looks pretty good. The new Lara looks amazing and so does the game.

Actually I think I will download Anniversary again. For me, that the best TR ever. I find playing it with the right music extremely relaxing.

Yeah I don't mind them 'stealing' the good parts from Uncharted (like the combat because TR combat wasn't that good) but if they take the platfoming from uncharted that would be lame.

eww, uncharted clone.

Yeah. 3 or 4 years after it released :P I didn't have the patience to deal with it when I was younger.freedomfreak

Did they fix the game's problems by then or did you force your way through it ?

Looks pretty good. The new Lara looks amazing and so does the game.

Speaking of which, new poll for your favourite version of Lara :)

Just a random question. What was the first game in the TR series you guys have played on what system?nintendoboy16

I actually started with the very first game on PS1.

[QUOTE="clyde46"]I'll wait for the EU covers. They are a thousand times better than the NA ones.nintendoboy16

Most of the time they are.

MGS3 springs to mind.

I played the first one on Playstation at a friend's house. I got it later on PC because my mates were talking about there being a nude mod (lol I was a kid, can you blame me ? :P). Never found it...

I guess you can say I came for the boobs but stayed for the puzzle solving and platforming. Also shooting dinosaurs in the face was pretty cool.

While a lot of the E3 press coverage showed more of the action sequences, these are scripted trailers meant to be showcases. Most games always spotlight the flashy "hollywood" material because that's the easiest to show in trailers.

The developer interview segments showed a good amount of gameplay, like in the catacombs where Lara has to puzzle solve with the pullies, levers, and setting materials on fire to make her escape. There's also been some outdoor stuff for the sequences of Lara hunting deer for food, and how she levels up her survival skills.

I think we can still expect more of the open gameplay that comes with Tomb Raider.

eww, uncharted clone.

Yeah it's not bad, let's hope the game will actually be good.

Hopefully they learned from uncharted, because tomb raider underworld was terrible.

I prefered the previous unofficial cover art where she was using a torniquet on her arm. That image made a statement about survival. This new cover however, with her standing tall with a bow holding her arm looks more like she is a hunter

I played it at Eurogamer a few weeks ago in London, I can't prove this to you but then again I have no reason to lie to you.

This is the exact demo that I played on the show floor thoughhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97DWlk5SfTI

Edit: just realised they don't show you the on screen buttons on that demo, probably was just to show the game off

Of course lol did you think I had the full game? is that even possible this early? :P

[QUOTE="Sushiglutton"][QUOTE="drinkerofjuice"] Because Uncharted wasn't initially inspired by Tomb Raider?DragonfireXZ95

I quite enjoy how the developers aren't putting a huge emphasis on or over sexualizing Lara's body on the cover. I never understood why people said Lara was a strong female character because her gender was just not a trait of her character, her gender was exploited for sex appeal to sell more copies of the game.

kuraimen

And they will all fail, including this POS.

If this doesn't pan out, they should just keep lara to the top down RPG lite genre that guardian of light had going on.

That game was fantastic. When do we get another one of those.

Looks quite nice.

[QUOTE="SNIPER4321"] its funny uncharted based on tomb raider. so uncharted is poor mans tomb raider...SNIPER4321
