Downloadable version is available at Tomb Raider Chronicles (site's getting hammered).

The streaming version is at MTV.com

 

[lexbubble]

Funny...your mtv.com link is dead.

Trailer isn't anything too crazy. Though that somersault that knocks over the enemy directly into shooting was pretty cool. There is just soemthing about tomb raider that will always have a place in my heart.

 

[DarienA]

That's gotta be the PC or Xbox version(I'm thinking PC). No way in hell that's the PS2 version.(the 3d file named one) The trailer video seems to be channelling bits from the 1st and 2nd movie IMO.

 

[Kobold]

I'm so mega-getting the Xbox 360 version!!!

[MightyHedgehog]

Yeah, definitely fun-looking. I love the slide-kick into the baddie with lock-on fire as he's falling down. I've got high hopes.

 

[bogg]

That looks great. Finally a good new Tomb Raider game.

 

[Pedigree Chum]

Holy crap that actually looked REALLY REALLY nice. It's most definitely on my radar now.

Eh, why? It doesn't look anything that great that it couldn't easily be the PS2.

 

[VictimOfGrief]

I'll be getting it for either Xbox or 360.

 

[nubbe]

It seems to have that classic TB platforming with fiercer action and thus looks way more fun then the predecessors. Lara May Cry…
I think I will watch this evolve with an open mind.

 

[Dice]

Looks good, I knew Crystal Dynamics could do it proper.

 

[SolidSnakex]

I know some people are going to complain about cities being in the game..But holy hell it looks awesome.

 

[pxleyes]

I am actually impressed. I admit I never played a TR game before (back in the PS era I had the N64 for most of the gen), but this game caught my attention.

For a current gen game, it is gorgeous.

 

[u_neek]

Cool. Lara's back on track!

 

[Kiriku]

Looks great, I have high hopes. Seems like Tomb Raider might be able to make a strong comeback. I mean, they still have Lara Croft to show off in ads...and she actually looks good now. :lol

I just hope they don't throw in too much shooting, and that the game has its fair share of exploration at exotic locations. The city looked nice, but I'd rather have a bunch of ancient ruins.

 

[monchi-kun]

so is this Prince of Persia in the City with Bewbeez?

 

[UltraMagnanimous]

I really don't think theres enough in this trailer to get excited about yet. Some bits looked a bit ropey tbh. I'll wait and see.

 

[Elios83]

OMG Lara's back,I can't wait for E3 impressions on the demo The control system seems much more like POP now and also weapons target system has been fixed.Also animations are pretty good.Too bad it seems the game will run at 30 fps.
Also it's clearly the PS2 version,PC and Xbox will have better textures and pixel shading effects.

 

[Black_Mamba]

Someone put a mirror please. It's too slow...

 

[Elios83]

[TheDiave]

Crystal D knows their shit. No doubt about it.

 

[Pimpbaa]

Looks friggin great although I'm dissapointed there seems to be no boob physics

 

[Gribbix]

Found some concept art and screens from some french/spanish mags:

 

[Legal Step]

There is a 85% chance this game will be total crap.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

this game is looking awesome!

 

[IJoel]

Looks promising. Hopefully it'll allow me to play with PoP-like mechanics without the ANGST.

 

[midnightguy]

Found some concept art and screens from some french/spanish mags:

maybe this pre-rendered stuff will end up as the Xbox360 version.

either way... all Tomb Raider games so far have been shovleware.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

YES!

Tomb Raider rocked. I hope this one can get the series back on track, because I'm all about exploring exotic locales and killing the locals.

 

[ManaByte]

There is a 85% chance this game will be total crap.

No, CORE isn't making it this time.

 

[Pimpbaa]

There is a 85% chance this game will be total crap.

And there is a 100% chance you haven't a fucking clue what you are talking about.

 

[Craig Majaski]

This game does show promise, but I'm disappointed that it looks like other people will be the main targets for fighting. The thing I really enjoyed about the original Tomb Raider was the nature aspect. Exploring caves, killing bears, dinosaurs, tigers, etc. Tomb Raider 2 kind of killed most of that with focusing on human targets. Looks like this one is doing the same. Still, it does look promising. If the controls are great than I may have to check it out.

 

[Rorschach]

Thank you for choosing www.tombraiderchronicles.com. May we wish you a safe and pleasant onwards journey.

...what?

 

[midnightguy]

saw the video. ugh. looks like, well, I wont say TOTAL CRAP, but very disappointing.

i hope the franchise dies the death it should have, years ago.

I hope there are a lot of animals and creatures. I always found fighting them in the original was more fun than the human enemies. There was a crocodile in the trailer so there's hope that there will be more animals in the game.

How in the hell is this dissapointing? Were you expecting Lara to jump out of the screen and give you a blowjob? The graphics look fantastic and the game looks like it's going back to it's roots. There is nothing disappointing about that trailer. The only thing that will screw it up is if it plays like total crap (and I have far more faith in Crystal Dynamics in regards to that than I ever did in Core).

 

[Goreomedy]

Hm, not convinced by this trailer.

If they insist on continuing to create "Bond with tits", at least show more promise than From Russia with Love.

 

[Shinobi]

Hmmm...very cool trailer. Loved the original game, and I still hope to see a sequel that can duplicate it.

 

[Jade Knight 08]

There is a 85% chance this game will be total crap.

Fixed = There is a 85% chance this game will have you fapping from the beginning to the end if you keep concentrating on Laura! :lol

Whos Laura? ohh you mean Lara

I think it looks great....But since I knew CD was taking over I didnt really doubt that it wouldn't be. I agree with Craig with the humans part. There should be more animals and such...but so far so good.

 

[nitewulf]

eh, its not like they'll create a crappy trailer.

 

[Ranger X]

From the trailer i can't really tell if they changed the controls and if the pace of the game is any different...
They need to AT LEAST redo the controls for me to even consider buying the game.

 

[COCKLES]

I could do without the cities levels to be honest.

But from looks of it, they'll be plenty of TOMBS, something the Core sequels seemed to forget about. Especially no.2 - Oil Rigs, Sunken Ships, Opera - WTF?!

+1 For Toby Gard involvement.

Welcome back Lara!

 

[ziran]

it looks fantastic!

cd is a very competent developer and they're really delivering with this game. can't wait.

 

[Azure Dream]

No one else had problems with the Zips from the Tomb Raider Chronicles site, right?

I downloaded the 3D test and the trailer last night, only watched the 3D test. Ran my file resume program to finish getting the trailer and left, and when I came back, my display had all sorts of visual artifacts (like low mem, even though not too much was running), things were acting dodgy (even the Dr Watson debugger was crashing), so I restarted, and now I suddenly can't get my fairly new PC past the bootup process, it resets at the point where the XP logo comes up with the blue loading board.

That was the only thing even remotely close to a virusable file (.zip) I downloaded and opened without virus scanning it that day. (And even then, AVG was active, and it usually catches if something downloaded is virused.) It probably isn't related, but I thought I'd ask in case anyone else noticed something dodgy with it. I'm referring to the 3D test video (zipped) on the Tomb Raider Chronicles site linked above, not the game trailer.

 

[CrimsonSkies]

Looks decent.

 

[Laurent]

so is this Prince of Persia in the City with Bewbeez?

Exactly the first comment that pop to my head!

 

[Kabuki Waq]

it looks good.....but it probably will be crap.

 

[Ghost]

Why dont you people get it?

Crystal Dynamics as developer + Toby Gard back in the mix = Tomb Raider is good again.
