yup i read the same thing, dont know about the lord of the rings thing, but i remember they wanted it to be a phantasy game or a game like jak and daxter

There is an Ipad app called the final hours of tomb raider with concept art for that version

So they decided to copy another set of games instead? (This is my impersonation of a Badgenome post)

I hope they take Tomb Raider back to the mythological stuff though.

Nah. I think Tomb Raider needed to go back and reboot from the begining. Now they can make the next games like what the concept art shows. The new Tomb Raider is pretty much perfect just the way it is. It's a better origin story that Batman Begins.

Looks like Tomb Raider ripping the Shadow of the Colossus concept. Either way they got help from one Sony team. 

The leaked stuff looks much cooler, instead they copied alot from Uncharted. A combination of the two would have been epic

so a combination of coping from shadow of the colossus and uncharted?

Is everyone butthurt because Tomb Raider is better than Uncharted? or its just me?

it has more playability than all three uncharted games, seriously guys stop bitching and go play it, its not a ripp off , its much better.

i still didnt play tomb raider so i cant judge. but ill hopefully get to play it soon. im hoping its better than uncharted, that way i can play and enjoy an even better game. 

I haven't bought the game yet,but I'm glad that did'nt make it in the final build. the concept art,just did'nt feel like an orgin story 2 me. I don't know why,but that's how I feel.
