After a brutal storm destroys the boat she was travelling on, a frightened young woman is left washed ashore on an unknown beach. On her own but not alone she has only one goal, to survive.

•Lara will be 21 in this game.

•There will be "brutal" death tracks, including a "deranged" man stabbing Lara in the chest and a boulder trap that crushes her head.

•Concept art shows a bow, shotgun and pistol.

•Aiming is now free and not locked onto targets.

•The linear paths are gone, with Crystal Dynamics saying the player "can literally go any direction” and “carve [their] own way to the finish line."

•There are "base camps" in the game which act as areas to combine items and improve skills, and also unlock fast traveling.

•You’ll need food and water to survive.

If they can make this as beautiful and play as good as Uncharted or Assassin's Creed this game will be a great game.

interesting. tomb raider definitely influenced uncharted and now uncharted will definitely inluence tomb raider. hopefully we'll eventually get an indianna jones game of that level.

Grim & Happy: From what I can tell it's in-game graphics. Not only is it comparable with maybe a slight boost to the latest Uncharted, if you look closely you can catch some graphical interactions that would be smoother with a current day cut-scene. That plus two of the pictures have blatant game-play indicators, where she is climbing, they have the symbols for the trigger buttons and where she is setting a box on fire has a huge "fire" symbol above the box. It seems it's getting rarer and rarer to do separate work for the cutscenes, most of the time these days they seem to use the in-game engines with maybe a little extra work. Look at Dragon Age and the Uncharted series as prime examples.

I'm actually curious now. I couldn't stand the original games, this one could be cool. Visually, it's got the same quality as the Arkham City trailer(s).

Ashley Greene for Lara Croft in a new movie.

I think in their attempt to make her more "realistic" they took something away from the character. They could have went realist and still kept the character recognizable.

Looks like they are going to make this game look more like Uncharted and Heavy Rain?

Ashley Greene would make a hot Croft!

wonder if they used a model for the likeness and what is her name!!!

id take rhona mitra as the next croft in a movie any day! heck she's been her before so it would only make sense and nice wink to fans

Read about this in my game informer last month. Really great reboot to the franchise. Take her back to when she first gets her hands dirty and such.

Ashley Greene would make a hot new Lara. She was the only good thing in those pitiful Twilight movies.

Lara Croft looks fine, but is not drop dead gorgeous. At least that's what I got from the early version of the game. So, to me Angelina Jolie is just fine as Lara. If a reboot should be made, I think Rhona Mitra could do the job. She modeled as Lara Croft for Eidos once.

And yeah, the game reboot looks fine. Let's now reboot the film. Those two movies were good, but I think it's time for new ones. Use this new reboot game angle if it's good on the market. A younger Lara. That would work. I can see Emma Watson as Lara Croft, if we go this route. She's no stranger to action scenes. Buff her up a little, not too extensive since this is a younger "not the experienced tomb raider" version of Lara.

Yeah, that would work.

Tank, shorts, boots and braided.
