New 'Tomb Raider' to be revealed soon

The next Tomb Raider game will be shown in a UK magazine early next year.

GamesMaster will be printing information and screenshots of the unannounced project in an issue released January 4, according to CVG.

The first details of the project emerged in June, stating that Lara Croft would be stranded on a mysterious island off the coast of Japan.

Earlier this month it was reported that Game Informer will reveal the game on December 6.
I remember reading the reports about it earlier this year, It's apparently going to be more survival based rather then the looking-for-artefacts type of deal. I think it's got massive potential, Tomb Raider is in need of another big shake up.

Aw,love the Tombraider games,it's about time we had another one,I hope they don't change it too much,I enjoy the finding stuff and working things out.

Looks like a massive disappointment for me. :) TR has been sh!t since the original developers were fired back in 2003 and the series was handed over to an American developer (Crystal Dynamics).

I'll get it, but I won't hold out hope for it actually being good seeing as the last 3 games have been bitter disappointments for me.

Tomb Raider was all about locking the butler in the freezer, really.

PC. :)

And OMG I'd hate it if they tried to "remake" TR2. The one with TR1 was beyond abysmal. Half the original game wasn't there, stuff was changed beyond recognition, the storyline was changed, Lara was made into a pussy. A remake of TR2 would be good, but NOT in the way they did it for TR1.

I thought the legend Trilogy (particularly Legend and Anniversary) had some of the best TR games. Legend brought the engine upto date and the trilogy's storyline was actually really good compared to the usual tosh. If Underworld wasn't so buggy it'd have been one of my favourite TR games.

I like her characterisation in the newer games, she was a bit more then a big boobed action heroine in them.

Stu 30-11-2010 11:42 PM

I didn't like the newer games as I generally fell out of interest with the series but they were needed. Tomb Raider had been sucking since Revelation which while it's a fan favourite as a classic old school TR title really should have been where the series turned instead of sticking with that same absoloutely horrible control scheme that has dated the games so bad. Heck even III was a bit pretentious. As well as being, IMO, riddiculously hard in parts and lacking the same variety of levels II had [II was easily the series peak IMO].

Then you had the borefest expansion pack that was Chronicles and the half finished Angel. No wonder the series was taken away from Core.

I completely disagree with everything. :p The stories in the first 3 TRs were pretty basic, but then they got pretty interesting. Legend's storyline needed for Lara's biography to be re-written, which SERIOUSLY angered me.

The game is completely different on the Wii. Get the next gen version, even though it's still a massive pile of w@nk.

You serious? TR3 had the most variety in levels out of the series. The Indian jungle, South Pacific, Nevada Desert, High Security Compound, the London rooftops & abandoned Aldwych and Antarctica.

I find Chronicles to be pretty underrated. I love the atmosphere in the Ireland levels. <3

Angel of Darkness was a massive controversy. Eidos (the publishing parent company) hadn't given Core Design enough time. Core originally had 3 years to make the game, but the deadline was then shortened by a year, then it was delayed after numerous complications and forced out before it was really ready. AoD has a lot more to offer for the same amount of development time than Legend, IMO.

Stu 01-12-2010 04:13 PM

I just rather the TR2 levels. Venice had a great atmosphere, then you had the industrial offshore locations, the Maria Doria stuff, the monastery and so on.

Temple Of Xian was about as epic as a level gets.

_Seth 01-12-2010 04:44 PM

Temple of Xian. :love: That level was insane.

I disagree, I think the pre legend games had very little story or character in them, It was the locations that was meant to shine instead of the story and characters. Lara didn't have much of a personality in the earlier games, She only got any depth in the Legend games when they gave her a motive and an actual character. They also provided a cast of characters I quite liked too, Amanda was a good character and I liked the changes to Natla.

Stu 01-12-2010 04:57 PM

The generic thugs in the early games were fantastic. The character design was so bad but in a good way.

You obviously haven't played Angel of Darkness. That has the deepest story to it, and lots of interesting characters. TR4 also has quite a deep story.

Lara did have personality, it's just that the games didn't revolve around HER. She was just the avatar for the game and what she always said would be short, sharp and to the point. At least she was a strong character back then - now that her biography, personality and looks have been altered COMPLETELY, making her unrecognisable to me, she just isn't the same character.

I've played Revelations and part of AOD, the Legend games were better storywise though (and gameplay wise, time is not kind to the older Tomb Raider games). It fleshed out her character more, gave her a motive and a goal for what she does ETC.

I hated Home Sweet Home, that last grunt who just wouldn't die always gave me a headache.

I remember those being revealed, I wonder if they're going for a more Horror/thriller esque game? Those enemies suggest so. They remind me of the Black Isle levels on that one Tomb Raider game.
