Why are we getting movie trailers in portrait mode?
It even held up to the "tap with the handle of a butter knife" and elastic band tricks?

Looks like it, but where are her friends?

ALL of you are going to eat your words concerning Alicia Vikander.
I don't care about the movie though.

So is this gonna be a comedy adventure romp?
Or is Lara gonna be crying etc and snapping her arm back into its socket before breaking a few necks?

It's not really surprising that Tomb Raider would get a movie before Uncharted though.

I'm not a gore kinda person at all, but I do agree it will seem weird to watch this if they cut all of it out after having played the game. Its violent / gory as hell. Though I'm sure most of the people they are targeting to see this have never even played the game anyways so they won't feel the disconnect
Shit I still haven't finished the game because it got disturbing as hell in the death scenes

Betting money on super serious. Although, I could see Goggins being menacing but kinda funny. Kinda like the bad guy in Logan.
There isn't any reason why this can't work, but Hollywood has bungled so many of these video games movies. I'm still trying to wash the taste of Warcraft and Assassin's Creed out of my mouth

I had fun with it and think its a decent game, but TR2013 was fairly soulless and sanitized to begin with. Detective vision, crafting, health regeneration, QTEs everywhere, heavily scripted cinematic events, cover shooting, stealth kills, automatic platforming, e.t.c.. TR 2013 was pretty much in line with most AAA games.
If they put combat on the backburner in favor of actual tomb raiding and isolation it would actually be closer in line with real Tomb Raider lol. Buuuuut this whole thing is prolly not gonna pan out so I'm with you on expecting it to be boring.

If they were serious about this they would be aiming for an R rating.
Take this shit seriously. Don't do what AC did and just take all the lingo and things from the games, but then still treat it as if it was all fucking stupid.
If you take it seriously and make it a dark, cold, adventure/coming of age story with mystical elements it could work.

You mean focus on the part of the games that are almost universally hated?

The games have sold huge amounts and are extremely popular.
Those aren't "universally hated" elements. It's stuff people on forums argue about

That's only been a thing in the Crystal Dynamics games.
The first 6 games mostly just presented her as a bitchy adrenaline junkie with a penchant for illicit antiquity collecting.

I'm staying up for the trailer.
I mean I'm already up, so i'm saying that is the reason.

Me At 3pm: What kinda idiot is going to stay up until 12:50am for a trashy video game movie trailer
Me Now: Oh, I better get the IGN Livestream up for the trailer.
I hate my life.
People really buying AC games for the framing device?

If it makes you feel any better I was up at 4AM yesterday so Sony could announce a bunch of ports and some table scrap JRPG's.
I would stay up for 72 hours and fight a bear if Marvel announced a Solo movie
The one where Lara can get her head impaled on a tree branch during a rapid shoot sequence was excessive.
It looks like I am getting Rise of the Tomb Raider in this month's Humble Monthly, so I'll see if the sequel was as big an improvement as many say it is.
Its great. If not, I guess you can put me on blast in BOGAF.
I like the game play elements, but those scene was on some Hostel level shit.

I always liked how the OG Tomb Raider games use to spring the supernatural shit on you out of nowhere. Wolves and bears 99% of the game, last boss is a fucking demon
I think when they say 'barely makes the rent' they mean 'doesn't have to worry about the rent thanks to daddy's money' like every second person who lives in Shoreditch or whichever City-fringe locale she's living in.
Yeah, even in the Legends series that stuff was crazy.
Though I get what theyre trying to do, having the slow build up to the supernatural enemies (apparently thats how Uncharted does it? I dunno), but I dont think it worked as well in Rise as it did in 13.

The T-Rex was a shock. I mean, the raptors were out of nowhere, but the t-rex made my dad nope-the-fuck-out and turn the game off. It's the only time I've ever seen him do that. lol

I bought the Tomb Raider collection the year before Rise came out. The only ones I've played is the isometric puzzle games. Lara Croft Go and Guardian of Light are legit.
I did like III and her underwater spear gun could be used anywhere.

Yes! The sequel is good fun, too. I prefer it for the Egyptian setting alone.

In many ways RotTR is one step forward and one step back. I actually liked TR2013 more than RotTR, because TR2013 was more like Uncharted in focusing on bombastic set pieces and combat. RotTR was very unevenly paced with fewer set pieces and much less combat, but attempts at giving large areas to explore and optional tombs fell kind of flat and you were mostly bored wandering around the open areas looking for the next place to go in order to trigger the next plot event. Oddly enough, Uncharted 4 also tried to tone back the explosions and escaping imminent death from everything collapsing around you and it also had the same pacing problems that RotTR did compared to U1-3.
Full trailer is that 60 seconds but in iPhone vertical video aspect ratio.
Same, the pacing of ROTTR was not as good as TR2013, which had a strong sense of forward momentum. ROTTR is a fine game though, but I found it easier to play piecemeal rather than in long sessions
It probably wont be good, either.

Structurally, I feel like Tomb Raider 2013 and Rise of the Tomb Raider have more in common with Batman Arkham Asylum and Batman Arkham City than they do with the Uncharted series.
