Tomb Raider Message Board older than one year ago

According to a tweet posted by Major Nelson, Tomb Raider will be ahipping in fall 2012. No other details were given...

Ryan finds out what makes this new Croft so dang appealing.

How do you redefine a character like Lara Croft? Find out in this E3 2011 Interview with Senior Art Director Brian Horton!

Lara's vision revealed as Karl Stewart weighs in on the rebirth of a gaming icon on All Access Live.

#stayingalive You know what's so appealing about this new Tomb Raider? The vulnerability. So many games turn you into a superhero that it's refreshing to see one where breaking bones and bleeding look as dangerous as it should be. More »

Discover a new side to the character of Lara Croft that you'll be discovering in the Tomb Raider reboot in this E3 2011 interview with Global Brand Director Karl Stewart!

Uh oh! Lara's in quite the pickle.

#impressions No Tomb Raider reboot has been as substantial, none could be as meaningful. In delivering to gamers a young, inexperienced Lara Croft, Crystal Dynamics doesn't seek to just reboot the series, but to make it's heroine into something we as gamers connect with emotionally. More »

Lara Croft has never been much more than a giant pair of boobs that pushes boulders and shoots endangered animals. While her Tomb Raider series is one of the longest-running and most popular franchises in gaming, it was time for a change after nine similar outings. I've seen where developer Crystal Dynamics is taking this iconic character, and I feel as excited about Tomb Raider now as I was when I played Lara's first adventure 15 years ago...

See Lara Croft in action in this gameplay from the Microsoft Press Conference at E3 2011!

Massive Boat Crash aerobics are probably never going to catch on.

#watchthis If you've ever wondered what set Lara Croft off on the journey from a mild-mannered young British lady into a hardened killer, here's your answer. She fell off a boat. More »

Square Enix has released this teaser trailer for the new Tomb Raider reboot on YouTube (after showing it on Spike earlier tonight), and boy is it purty. As promised by the game's reveal back in December of last year, the fully CGI trailer features a younger, (dare we say) more naive Lara Croft, given some slightly more savage and primitive tools by the end than we've ever seen before.

Sure, there's a Sully-esque old guy in there, but man, that setpiece at the end of the trailer more than makes up for any similarity to any other grave-exploring titles you may also be fond of. Stay tuned -- we'll have lots more information about this game for you as we head on into E3 next week.

Alright. Okay. I’m not sure there’s any conceivable way that Crystal Dynamics’ forthcoming reboot of the Tomb Raider franchise could be half as arresting and gorgeous as this trailer. Tell you what, though. I’m looking forward to seeing them try.(more…)

#tombraidertribute This new Lara Croft statue, from Sideshow Collectibles, will go on sale later this year for the princely sum of $350. Aside from a rather fetching-looking paperweight, what else do you get for that kind of money? More »

Throughout May, IGN is taking a look at games set to appear at E3 2011, from June 6-9. We'll let you know what to expect and what we hope to learn about these games at this year's show. Will we see Gears of War 3's single player? Will Sonic Generations be... good? We'll answer as best we can amidst publishers' E3 secret planning...

Upcoming Tomb Raider reboot doesn't have a release date yet, but website Siliconera apparently has the game's script and published what's reportedly an excerpt from it. Check it out. [Siliconera] More »

#movienews The Angelina-free 2013 reboot of the Tomb Raider movie franchise picks up steam today, as GK Films taps Iron Man movie scribes Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby to write Lara's latest big screen adventure. More »

Lady Lara Croft clearly has her strengths, but she's also not without her weaknesses. Take, for instance, her inability to recognize value. She sees a priceless antique pot in a temple not breached by man for centuries, and what's her reaction? She smashes it to see if there are bullets inside. Lara: They sell them at Wal-Mart. Just bring more.

You don't have to be a Lara, though. When you spot the Tomb Raider Trilogy on PS3 for $30 at Amazon, you know you could buy it and enjoy it, or perhaps give it to a friend. In fact, just about any interaction would be more appropriate than doing a backflip and blasting it with dual pistols. But you wouldn't make that mistake, would you?

#fancypants Remember, remember, the Lara Croft in poor weather, and the girl who loved Aion a lot. I see no reason why Star Wars or Creepers should ever be forgot. More »

#fancypants Between Anime Conji 2011 being held a week ago, Wondercon 2011 and the Supernova conventions going down in Australia, there's been a ton of great cosplay on display in recent days. So let's take a look at some of the best of it! More »

#hollywood Tomb Raider, the video game, is starting fresh with a new Lara Croft adventure planned to reinvigorate the 15-year-old series. That game, simply called Tomb Raider, will be an origin story of sorts for Lara. Now, Hollywood is following suit with its own reboot, planning a new Tomb Raider flick for 2013. More »

#art This image is called "Captain Lights Part 2: Electric Boogaloo". Looks nice, but it's not entirely the artist's own work, seeing as it's actually a composite of five video games, a movie and a toy gun. More »

A younger Lara, and all new adventure.

Get your first glimpse of the Tomb Raider series reboot!

#ps3 Earlier today, Sony and Eidos reiterated the launch details for a trilogy of Tomb Raider re-releases destined for the PS3. Part of that was a reveal of the pack's cover, which has us shaking our heads in disappointment. More »

Eidos has opened its vault of classic Tomb Raider games for a new PS3 collection -- it has raided the tomb, if you prefer. The "Tomb Raider Trilogy" seen on retail websites last month has been described on the PlayStation Blog as a PS3-exclusive compilation of Crystal Dynamics' Tomb Raider games. It's due on March 22 at the seemingly standard PS3 trilogy collection price of $39.99.

According to the announcement, Tomb Raider Legend and Tomb Raider Anniversary are presented in "remastered HD versions" -- odd, considering they already supported HD for Xbox 360 and PC. Tomb Raider Underworld was already a PS3 game, so it's just along for the ride.

In addition to these three games, the Trilogy includes the slightest dusting of bonus content, in the form of an exclusive static theme, two PlayStation Home avatars, and some behind-the-scenes videos.

#laracroft The rebirth of Lara Croft, simply known as Tomb Raider, may be the prettiest entry yet, based on new screen shots of the forthcoming action adventure due for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. More »
