Forums - Gaming Discussion - Square announce 'Tomb Raider', Crystal go with "origins story"

That new Tomb Raider game from Crystal Dynamics? Well it's called 'Tomb Raider' and yes there's a boat, a beach and a babe - a stranded Lara Croft. 

We get a "young and inexperienced" Lara whose only goal is to survive. Crystal say "forget everything" we know of Tomb Raider, this is her "origins story". 

Square Enix have dropped a press release bomb that confirms our suspicions of poor Lara Croft getting ship wrecked on some island, all alone (sort of) and having to fend for herself. 

"Forget everything you knew about Tomb Raider," said Darrell Gallagher, big boss of Crystal Dynamics. "This is an origins story that creates Lara Croft and takes her on a character defining journey like no other." 

The upcoming issue of Game Informer will have 10 pages exposing the new Crystal Dynamic's videogame, which is available now for subscribers or in newstands December 11th. Check out the full press release below from Square Enix.

If they do this with the mindset in which they made the downloadable Lara Croft game Tomb Raider might return to form.



    

i wonder if it's gonna play a bit more like uncharted but then again fans might get angry if they did that.



What I want from a game.

Gameplay > Story > Content > Graphics

Visual Style > Graphics

Smooth Camera, Intuitive Controls

Friction! When everything feels right!

don't really care... the story telling, hasn't ever been that good anyways. They've been improving until the guardian of light imo... and that story was worse than any story ever... but the game was effing awesoem

A great story, no matter what the case would be a good change :)

I still prefer them to uncharted despite, the  jumpy/bad/shooting and bad-ok story.

but thats just me. and obviousl the consensous is the opposite



The things I would do with a "young and inexperienced" Lara..............

(Is it just me or does she STILL look manlier than that dirty looking Dante from the Devil May Cry update?)

That's fucking disgusting! 

 

I don't want to make a young Nathan Drake climb ruins or explore caverns.  He could scrape his knee or something!!  Pervert.
