And so this game becomes meaningless, as Ms. Croft dies of a nasty, nasty, infection.

Wow, remove Lara Croft and insert Nathan Drake, and this is basically an Uncharted game.

Not a bad thing though, definitely looking forward to this.

They need to tone down the girly noises tho, that could get annoying as hell real fast.

I don't like the sadistic and exploitative direction they're taking Tomb Raider in. Which is a bit hypocritical as I bought Haunting Ground recently.

This is pretty much the only game that's totally intrigued me from E3.

@hellspoet636: You're completely right.  The straight comparisons are dumb. Uncharted has much more in common with Gears Of  War than Tomb Raider. It does have a fair dose of Tomb Raider in there tho.

At the 4 minutes and 45 seconds mark, the guy grabbing Lara says something like "...help you." I couldn't make out the first part, but was he innocently trying to help Lara...?

Reading through the comments I can see everyone is picking up on all the QTE stuff. You gotta remember that this game is open world and this was probably your typical set piece in which it'll be heavy on the QTE's. But I think (and hope) that the rest of the game will be very different. More gameplay footage is definitely needed. So far though it looks extremely promising.

Is the guy chasing her saying "I'm trying to help you?" or something similar? I kept hearing that.

While this feels like an attempt to make Tomb Raider less ridiculous and more like and Uncharted game... it does look excellent so far. I have never really been into Tomb Raider... but color me interested now!

Damn good trailer and demo!

@Tricky69: If I remember from the old Game Informer cover story this was the section they got to play back then and if you don't fight him off your head gets crushed by the boulder instead of his. From what I've heard Lara can die in some pretty grisly ways.

Too much self monologue in my opinion...

I don't need her to say "Oh more fire" when I put the torch in the flames....

Weird turn for the series to take, but the game seems pretty damn interesting.

I kind of hope this entire game doesn't end up with hearing moaning sounds for the majority if it while in action. Seriously it feels creepy like the game is all about avoiding sexual assault. That is the what I'm feeling from watching it.

Other then that, I'm interested in seeing how this game will turn out.
