|
 |
Following indications that Eidos, now Square Enix Europe, would "need to look at everything as we develop the next [Tomb Raider] game," the first details for one particular concept of "the next Tomb Raider video game" have surfaced online.
Images of a fact sheet and concept art first appeared at fourplayercoop, but were quickly removed after the site was contacted by lawyers representing developer Crystal Dynamics. However, some were able to archive the images before their removal.
Going by the snapshots and included details, the proposed title would serve as a reboot for the action-adventure series and toss in elements of survival horror, with an "inexperienced" Lara Croft stuck on an island full of long-clawed humanoid monsters.
Said monsters would "hunt you as prey" across the island, forcing Lara to supplement her traditional focus on long-range weapons with "visceral one-on-one" melee combat. The island would also act as an open-world, with Lara gaining access to new areas as she discovered new items--axes, rope, machetes, etc.--a la Metroid games.
And while it wasn't mentioned in the text, one piece of concept art showed Lara taking aim with a bow and arrow while on horseback, suggesting that Lara won't just be traversing the island on her on two feet. Of course, that's assuming this game actually makes it to release--right now, all we know for sure is that this is a "concept."
The Next Tomb Raider Video Game Concept for PS3, Xbox 360 and PCs:
| Quote: | When a sudden storm destroys her research vessel, a young and inexperienced Lara Croft finds herself stranded on a mysterious and remote island hidden off the shores of Japan. Despite several signs of various inhabitants the island is oddly deserted, and an uneasy feeling settles in as strange sounds emerge from the shadows. With only her determination, inner strength and resourcefulness to help her, Lara must overcome the challenges of a harsh and unforgiving journey that will take her across a vast island wilderness and deep into the claustrophobic and menacing underground tombs from the island's past. As she struggles to prevail through brutal combat encounters and treacherous exploration, Lara will be pushed to her limited and forced to adapt to her situation in order to survive and escape from the lethal predators that stalk her every move.
* Hunt or be Hunted: Evade, outsmart, track and kill the mysterious enemies that hunt you as prey.
* Survival Action: Brutally attack and defend yourself as you fight to survive the visceral one-on-one melee combat.
* Strategic Weapons: Gain an advantage in combat by finding an array of different melee and ranged weapons including a variety of guns and the hunter's ultimate weapon, the bow.
* Creative Survival: React and adapt to the island by using only that which you can salvage from the environment like climbing axes, rope, and machetes that can be used to unlock new traversal and combat gameplay options.
* Free Movement: Scramble up a vertical cliff wall, sprint and leap across a huge chasm, steer mid-air to land a misdirected jump. There is no one right way to traverse, survive, and explore the harsh environment of the island.
* One Cohesive World: the diverse multi-region island is an open playground alive with creatures, weather, and natural events.
* Origin Story: This new Tomb Raider concept reboots the franchise by exploring the origin of Lara Croft's transformation into a hardened adventurer as you unravel the story behind the island's mysterious past. |

Does her clothes rip when lions tear at her? Because it totally should. Why has technology not yet reached this point? This is the only reason Tomb Raider exists. GET WITH IT EIDOS

Great, I think they will ruin this series too. Why the hell do they make a reboot, the story of the series could have been stretched a lot more. And from when does Lara use so many weapons? They want to make some kind of female version of Rambo from her, I think. I can see that you can't go wrong with the climbing in this game, after all we don't want the derps to get lost or fall. The other games were more of a console genre, but they were played a lot better on the pc, with keyboard and mouse and they weren't really derpy, in my opinion.

oooh i think i know why theyre doing a reboot. its a reason they can make her breasts a couple of sizes bigger without fucking up the continuity... oooh its all so clear now.
and while theyre at it, they can 'fix' a bunch of other things that the original developers 'got wrong'... they can make her american! a red head! oh and change her into a part time supermodel/movie actress/SECRET AGENT! and thats american secret agent, not british, obviously...

Too bad they're using Tomb Raider brand to promote/sell it. People have high expectations when it comes to Miss Croft. They'de be much better off making it a new franchise, as it doesn't sound too bad.

Translation: third person cover system and QTE battle prompts.
Those gameplay elements they mention could have been integrated into the current Tomb raider series just fine, at least to some extent. What has me concerned is what they're taking away. The puzzle/platform solving? There's a reason why they're doing a reboot and you know it's not just to try a new story.

I think there is a very big chance that the game will be good. Crystal dynamics are a great studio.

Well RE4 did this, it scrapped the puzzles and added QTE, tons of enemies ammo and weapons, and pretty much everyone considers it the best RE although it doesn't resemble at all the previous RE games.
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"

yeah but the problem with THAT is that all the other RE games were shit.
in this case, its the original games that were GOOD, so fucking with THAT is whats the problem. the original didnt spam enemies and have qtes... it was a pure fun platforming adventure with great atmosphere and design...

I don't consider it the best of the series. That title belongs to RE2, imo.
What, popular opinion is supposed me to make me feel more optimistic about an industry that is gradually going lower and lower in IQ?

I don't know why you thought popular opinion and sales records were going to sway someone's personal opinion, but they're not.
I have no doubt in my mind that this Tomb Raider is going to make a bunch of money and get "acclaim" from Gamespot and IGN. My concerns are MY concerns.
And if you really want to talk about reviews/sales, the early Tomb Raiders and REs were pretty successful too. It's not like before RE4, the RE games were low profile indies.

Yes, just like the previous Tomb Raider games. Complete shit.

Didn't I say that they were best sellers already? RE2 is the #3 best selling game of Capcom. RE3 #5. RE1 #8.
Point is that even most of the original fans have accepted the new action-focused vision, as the true vision of RE titles. (I certainly haven't.)

That's just how it comes off when someone expresses a personal opinion, and you reply with popular opinion, sales and critical acclaim.
