  • I usually don't use this site like a normal person (I'm guessing) because I tend to avoid most media from games I plan on buying like the plague (until yk, I have the game). Anyway, another pretty vid (I'm sure) that I'm skipping... what's the word on the target release date?
  • Man, I love behind the scenes things.

  • ladies and gentlemen, this is how you re-invent a character.  

  • Rockin' the sex appeal like never before.

  • looks phenomenal and all, but i hope they make good on the gameplay as well as they make trailers look.

  • Beautiful looking game so far.  Very curious as to how the level design aspect is developing, are there any Dev. diaries referring to the level design or dungeons?  Anyone got a link?  Would be much appreciated.

  • Watching these phenomenally beautiful cinematics, I am reminded of that tidbit from Activision a while back eluding to the idea of selling game cinematics on stand-alone disc. Why not? This stuff is miles beyond most any feature length film you've seen (inherently, due to it's generally short nature)
  • She looks amazing.. they did an amazing job for the trailer. I hope they will for the gameplay too
  • The ideo doesn't work for me... you should add a download link...
  • Looks great now we just have to see some more gameplay

  • I wasnt interested in this game till I saw the stage demo cause man this game looks awesomeeeeee. Ill be looking forward to this game next year......if only they could fix her yelling........it sounds like shes moaning lol
  • So I must admit, I was never a Tomb Raider fan. But this one really has my attention. Wow.

  • I prefer the Uncharted 3 BTS.

  • Visual Works is just genius! The CGI trailers for Tomb Raider and Deus Ex: Human Revolution are the best ever. If for some reason I don't buy any other game next year I know for a fact I'll be getting Tomb Raider day 1!

  • Lara Croft, and Nathan Drake should hook up.
  • This game makes me want it more and more the more GI posts about it. I went out and bought the PS3 trilogy, and just reminds me how much I've loved the work Crystal Dynamics has done with Lara.

  • Can't wait for it to come out !!!!

  • Visual Works did an amazing job, both here and with the Deus Ex trailers. This game is looking incredible. Crazy, since I never cared about Tomb Raider. I remember back in the PS1 days my uncle had the first 3 games and I'd watch him play all the time, but they just never interested me enough to actually play them -- yet, everything I've seen for this game has surpassed my expectations. So I guess it's fitting that the reboot be the first Tomb Raider game I buy. Crystal Dynamics did great on Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, and it's looking like they've made lighting strike twice.

  • This is going to be good :)
