I might give this game a try, now that's she's not being used to appeal to young boys who fap off to games, 'cause they can't seem to figure out Google with SafeSearch off.
I feel that Crystal Dynamic might be trying to make lightening strike twice, but on the other hand the last time they tried that with Lara, we got one of the best downloadable titles this year.
I know I enjoy the sounds of this, I doubt it won't replace Uncharted as my best love of action/adventure, but having a strong female Lara that isn't pandering to a male audience could do a lot for improving our image with female gamers and nongamers alike!

I still don't think a reboot is necessary, especially since they already had a reboot with Legend, which came out in 2006 I believe, and I liked Legend, so I think that the reboot might work for Lara again.
At the very least they are putting effort in the new game on a conceptual level. That has to be good for the franchise. It has grown stale and not even the new game helped it much.
As long as she still has big tits, I'll be fine, that's why little kids way back when rented the early games in the first place, TITS!
Sadly yes, although I'd forgotten until you just reminded me. I'd pretty much assumed that Square was being very "hands-off" with its western properties like Eidos and Crystal Dynamics, but if Wada's tampering with either of them, then that's it, I just fucking quit.Fronzel said:
...Well, atleast Lara's appearance seems more or less intact, albeit a slightly younger looking version considering the whole 'origin story'. It could be good if done well, but we shall see.
However, i must ask....WHEN THE FUCK ARE WE GETTING ANOTHER LEGACY OF KAIN GAME!?

Well its not like the franchise was getting any better... So I'm also cautiously optimistic about this. However, some of the new changes seem to deviate a little too much from Tomb Raider... They need to keep the twin guns... They are an icon of the Tomb Raider series... They are what most people identify or think of when they think of Tomb Raider (well that and the huge breasts).
I understand the need for a reboot and I like the idea they are going for but if they change too much then its just going to be a completely different game and character with just Lara Crofts name. In other words just another game trying to increase their sales by putting a familiar title on the end of it.
Also the whole " A lot of the new Lara's sex appeal, he says, will come from the mixture of toughness and vulnerability that Crystal Dynamics was infusing the character with." no... Jesus, this can really go wrong... Really, really wrong if not done right. This will either turn her into one of those Vasquez-esq tough girl(which always have my eye rolling or extremely bored... They come of as people trying too hard to be tough... Like bikers), or a raging feminist *****.
On the flip side, vulnerability also has to be done right. Done wrong and she'll come off as angsty. Done right and she'll be relatable.
Otherwise, as said I'm cautiously curious about all this. Lets hope they don't screw it up.

I doubt it can get any worse.
That's probably the most opimistic outlook anyone can have at this point.
Crystal Dynamics has yet to prove itself regarding the Tomb Raider franchise.

While I'll heartily second this, I must also admit that these news got me excited. This is the first I've read about them making a TR reboot, by the way; I never managed to get into the series because, quite frankly, it had a lot of horrendous gameplay, but - at least on paper - this new game sounds like a barrel of fun, particularly due to the Metroidvania and survival aspects.karloss01 said:
