Stripped of looks? I think she looks better than she ever did before. Like an actual human being.Squallie Greenthumb said:
As for her strength, I think that trailer already showed that she'll be getting plenty of that real soon. She has to if she wants to live.
First time I saw the video I thought "Wow, is Square Enix making the game or something? Final Fantasy 13/Advent Children quality cutscenes!" Then I read the article 
I'm betting the video was all square enix. Hope they make the game cutscenes as well, they look amazing.

My main thought through the trailer was
"WHYDOESSHEHAVEANMP3PLAYERIFTHISISHERORIGI-... Wait that actually looks nice".
Shows promise but I will hold off excitement for the gameplay trailer.

The graphics are STUNNING, I just hope it will be backed by good in-game aesthetics and good gameplay.
First impressions:
1) So it this a reboot?
2) Are they throwing out her aristocratic origins?
3) Why are there only two fucking colors in this game?
4) This looks like a movie. I have the feeling it's going to be cutscene-heavy. Think MGS4.
5) Eh, at least it's not Angel of Darkness.

May as well give this one a shot once its released. I actually enjoyed the last Installments, i.e. Legend and Underworld, given that Anniversary was just a remake (And whoever invented the 5-Ledge Jump Puzzle in the god damn lava tower thingy should be shot).
The Question for me is, how far they are going to take realism. because i didnt enjoy the games because they were overly realistic. Hell lets just look at the Heroine and what she can do. I preferred the whole..well jumping around, crawling up a wall and such. Basicly the "Parkour Approach". Kinda what Mirrors Edge tried and failed to do.
So yeah, while the Reboot has promise, at least as far as we know for now, it can still turn to shit very quickly depending on where they go with it. I like the Idea of a "Well thats where she started". Even in the first Tomb Raider she was already what, 30? 40? Far older anyway. Here's me hoping they dont go "we all serious now" with it.

Well...Scrythe said:
1. Yes
2. I don't know the answer to that myself
3. This isn't the game, it's a trailer. Also, if you pause at 0:22, you may notice more than two colours.
4. Most fancy CG game trailers do nowadays. Makes them more...cinematic, I guess.
5. Never played that, heard it was bad though.
Anyway, interesting trailer. I will hold out for some gameplay footage at least before I think about whether the game will be worth playing or not. It sure would be nice to play a good game called Tomb Raider again. I may not get to fight mummified creatures and the infamous "red skin bacon men" like in that other game that was called Tomb Raider but it doesn't look like that kind of thing would fit in here anyway.
Edit: @A-D. Mirrors Edge didn't fail at anything, besides being a game that you liked. Personal (lack of) taste is a poor subsitute for quality control.
I. AM. SOOOOOOOOO. STOKED.
You know who this version of Lara Croft reminds me of? Heather Mason (especially the bit where she bandages her arm.) If she keeps reminding me of Heather Mason, she could end up being one of my favorite characters ever (Heather Mason herself had reactions too tranquil and bizarre to endear her to me entirely).

Trailer looks impressive. I'll be keeping an eye on this one, and I may actually get involved in the franchise properly with this game.
Well that certainly caught my attention and it looks really good. I didn't think too much about this game even from what I've read up on it, but seeing this has changed my mind.
Now that I think about it she does, and I'm hoping that it will be a good thing. Lara never really appealed to me, but maybe this version of her will.lacktheknack said:
Mirror's Edge succeeded resoundingly, actually.A-D. said:
Also, they're clearly tossing out her original origins, as her first adventure (what this claims to be) was previously an expedition gone wrong to Angkor Wat with Werner Von Croy (play TR4). It didn't involve ships (and considering how it was in the 70s, I doubt there were MP3 players either, as in this trailer). So my guess is that we have an entirely new Lara Croft to work with.
I?m not generally a fan of rebooting a series like this. It seems to me that if you?re going to redo most of it you might as well go the whole 9 yards and make a new IP but I like what I?m seeing.
I?m seriously liking the shots I?ve seen of this so far and this trailer even if it is a bit dramatic. I like her new look, yay no more hot pants! I like the idea of playing a younger, less experienced version of Lara. This is an origin story after all, she should be inexperienced and it could add some much needed depth to the character. I think it would be good if we start off with her being like that but over the course of the game or series she gains more confidences and experience to eventually becomes a bit more like the Lara we know...or they could potentially butcher her character. I?ve been bored with and uninterested in Tomb raider for quite awhile now so I suppose a reboot could be a good thing.

I'm a very big fan of the very first Tomb Raider. I always enjoyed the emphasis on exploration rather than action. Consequentually I didn't like the later instalments with emphasis on guns, killing humans and setting it in modern civilizations.
When I read they were planning to take this back to basics with very few weapons and being on a deserted landscape, I was thoroughly pleased. Look forward to seeing how this game goes.
