Shadow of the Tomb Raider - PC, PS4, XB - Reviews are in

I hope they actually have some character progression this time. I really don't want another 20 hours of Lara whinging and moaning about the cold etc.

Honestly it got dead annoying in the second game, at every camp Lara sits down for another moan and it felt like she learned nothing from the first game. If the series is supposed to show her progress into a capable Tomb Raider then they need to actually start showing it.

I echo the views of most here in that I think the original reboot (... you know what I mean) was better than Rise. In general I find the story a lot more gripping and the environment more varied and interesting. Also, in the earlier came Lara started off much less capable and so there was much more importance based on stealth than the second. Combat is fine in these games but it's much better when you are surviving by your wits rather than running around like a one-woman-army.

I'm currently playing Rise and I'm absolutely loving it. I love just wandering about performing tasks and looking for tombs.

Gameplay reveal today.

'Croft Edition' :lol:

That made me laugh too. strawberry float all these editions with games. How about a 'waited 4 weeks and now it's a third of the price' edition.

New Mario at E3 :shock:

How has a U.K. magazine not managed to get the exclusive unveiling...

Could you even imagine such a thing during the PS1 and 2 era.

Trailer is up and it's CGI :fp:

In this day and age why do they still insist on doing this?

Does this mean in the standard edition you play as some knob called, oh I dunno, Kurtis Trent and only if you pay out an extra 20 quid you get to play as Lara Croft.

New info from Spanish magazine preview:

The hunting and the equipment will be more important. They see a Leopard.

Mind blown.

-After Shadow, there will be more games. But the classic Lara will not return. They will be independent adventures with the same Lara that now.

I'm assuming this is a translation error, as that means strawberry floating nothing to me.

YouTube

Sounds pretty good, bit disappointed that we got a CG trailer like the first tease instead of a look at the game itself. The collector's edition seems naff, nowhere near as good as the art book edition for Rise.

So Nick posted the trailer from the Tomb Raider YouTube channel and then later changed that to the one from the PlayStation YouTube channel, presumably because the first trailer had the Xbox logo at the start. That's tragic really.

Dead link

Looks like the last two Tomb Raiders, after Rise I think I fancy a mix up. What happened to Lara visiting urban environments?

The Season Pass delivers seven new adventures called "Paths", with each Path including new narrative, new missions, a Challenge Tomb, a new weapon, a new outfit and a new skill. The first Challenge Tomb will also introduce new co-op functionality. Finally, Season Pass owners receive an exclusive weapon, outfit, and skill on Day One!

-Survive and Thrive In the Deadliest Place on Earth: Master an unforgiving jungle setting in order to survive. Explore underwater environments filled with crevasses and deep tunnel systems.
-Become One With the Jungle: Outgunned and outnumbered, Lara must use the jungle to her advantage. Strike suddenly and disappear like a jaguar, use mud as camouflage, and instill fear in enemies to sow chaos.
-Discover Dark and Brutal Tombs: Tombs are more terrifying than ever before, requiring advanced traversal techniques to reach them, and once inside they are filled with deadly puzzles.
-Uncover Living History: Discover a hidden city and explore the biggest hub space ever found in a Tomb Raider game.
