Tomb Raider Debut CGI Trailer Released To Build E3 Hype Posted on Friday, June 3 @ 07:37:28 Eastern by Anthony_Severino
window.fbAsyncInit = function() { FB.init({appId: 'your app id', status: true, cookie: true, xfbml: true}); }; (function() { var e = document.createElement('script'); e.async = true; e.src = document.location.protocol + '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js'; document.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e); }());
I'll be honest. I'm not the biggest Tomb Raider fan. I played the first one on the original PlayStation all those years ago, I thought it was "meh", and I never looked back. OK, well I lied. I did at least try that nude code that turned out to be fake.
Since then the series turned into a mainstream phenomenon. Not because of the game itself, but rather due to the main character, Lara Croft, and her polygonal "curves". The franchise's fame peaked when Angelina Jolie took the lead role of Croft in the Tomb Raider feature film, and the series stagnated after that.
The female sex symbol in games is a bit played out, especially for Tomb Raider. Developer Crystal Dynamics realized this and decided to show off a different side of Lara Croft. A more vulnerable side. That's not to say she isn't stunningly beautiful in this new Tomb Raider, but she's not this untouchable femme fatale that can kick ass and survive against all odds, all without breaking a sweat or messing up her hair and makeup.
This new "Turning Point" debut trailer is all CG--no real gameplay or anything like it--but that doesn't detract at all from how simply gorgeous the game is. Check out the more human side of Lara Croft, in the first ever Tomb Raider trailer. After you watch it, I think you'll agree with me that this is one of the few to watch during E3.

UghRochester - Joined: Jun 5, 2006I wasn't a big fan of the Tomb Raider series either. But this visual seems pretty damn good. Wonder what the gameplay will look like? Also, the story looks predictable. Ship crash, stuck on "deserted" island, find way to survive and get off the island.0 2Like or Dislike?Posted: Jun 3rd, 2011 at 7:59 am

nihm - Joined: Jan 24, 2011The Crystal Dynamics Tomb Raider games were all pretty good, and I'm glad they're rebooting the series. Yeah the premise isn't really anything original but it can make for a good story if the characters are well-written. Lara looks a hundred times better with a figure that's actually human too.0 0Like or Dislike?Posted: Jun 3rd, 2011 at 11:55 am

Summer is just about upon us now; finals are bearing down on college students, with the promise of summer break and all of the broken air-conditioners, rushed vacation plans and charred meat that it entails.
