Looks very interesting. If there are some cool puzzles mixed in with occasional combat and traversal this could be awesome. I don't need to be shooting things constantly to enjoy myself.

Least it's not as torture porn-y as the E3 demo.

I find it hard to believe anyone sincerely wants any more Tomb Raider anything ever again.

I'd actually say it's worse! It's like a highlight reel of Lauras worst moments.

Also the "I hate tombs" was a bit forced at the end.

It's off-putting to me that her ponytail is affected by gravity but the rest of her hair is not.

I can't wait for this game now, reminds me a lot of Max Payne 3 in terms of how cinematic it is and how it's tone is quite serious.

I'm more excited for early 2013 games than for the games coming out this year. Between this, Bioshock Infinite, and (most likely) GTAV there are some quality games being put out early next year.

I'm a bit sad. Wasn't the original premise something like you were on an island alone and had to survive? Now there's people and airplanes and explosions. :(

If this is done tastefully, it could be pretty damn interesting. I'm all for a realistic (realistic by video game standards) portrayal of a female character.

What is even going on in this game anymore?! Looks pretty cool, but so much of it seems to be scripted sequences.

Sweet trailer. I wonder if the game has any open world gameplay, but it seems like this is more of an Uncharted experience.

"I hate Tombs"

wtf, why didn't they just make this a new IP if Lara is gonna act like a whiny bitch and it seems the game has no supernatural stuff or crazy treasure.

I mean, I'm excited for it, but it seems they just slapped the Tomb Raider name on it so people are like "Hey! I remember those games!"

I'm sold on everything about this, except for the dealbreaker. No idea how it will actually play.

Also, I thought this year was the year of boxes? or was it cages? Man, I suck at the Korean sodium.

I liked the other Tomb Raider games that Crystal Dynamics made so I'll probably like this.

More-intense Uncharted with a sexy main character? I'm all in.

(P.S. yes I know Uncharted took a lot of cues from Tomb Raider in the first place but now the roles have switched.)

This looks so good. It is clearly taking some risks with the character and if they fail it will be horrendous.

Pretty much. It's also kinda ridiculous how this trailer seems to reveal virtually the entire plot.

Looks great.

A lot of the complaints about the violence on Lara are bull shit. If that was a male character, everyone would be saying mcclane 1,000 times and get on with it.

I don't think I've ever been this excited about a Tomb Raider game. Also, am I the only one who gets irritated when people call her Laura instead of Lara? It's like when parents mispronounce Pokémon. I know, it's silly, but it just makes my eyes roll.
