Watch: Lara gets wet and dirty in Tomb Raider E3 2011 trailer

We've seen the screenshots, we've seen the art (as far back as a couple of years ago, actually, thanks to a leak), we've even read part of the script. Now we can finally see the new Tob Raider game in action. Developer Crystal Dynamics has released the Tomb Raider reboot's first E3 2011 trailer.

The reboot puts players in the shoes of a young Lara Croft who ends stranded on an island after the ship she was on sinks. In this game, she's not the savvy adventurer we all know from previous installments. It might sound like a risky proposition for hardocre Lara fans, but it's all in step with the studio's bid to return the series to its glory days.

"A reboot for us felt like the necessary thing to do," studio head Darrell Gallagher explained to Edge. "Lara had hit her apex in how she was before, and we didn't really feel we could take that any farther. It was a chance to look at everything again, bring new people in who had been interested in the franchise before but didn't feel like Lara was modern enough."

True, Devs these days are really catching the knack for cinematic FMV's.

But those are really expensive and time consuming to make.

I cant help but be concerned when all that money and time is being spent on the passive aspects of a game instead of the interactive ones.

Square has made mess after mess out of that method.

And when prices get driven up for things like that creativity might be intentionally curtailed to imitation and standard issue blandness to protect such a large investment.

But I agree, that was a mighty fine looking FMV.

Doesn't stop Blizzard from making all that cash and game sacrificing detail.

Yes it came out...3 days ago, it was all over most gaming websites
You're a little slow on some news these days, QJ

You're an ass. They probably had a good reason as to why it was late. Even if they didn't updating a website to keep up with current information about what is going on in the gaming community is hard work, not to mention tedious and tiresome. These people also happen to have lives, unlike you who probably spends most of your time in some secluded space eating what little chips and cockroaches you can afford to suck the flavor out of...

from :00 to :47 i felt like square can make anything american look very final fantasy like. that looks awesome also someone needs to do a countdown video of the worst looking game to the best looking game from atari up to the current gen

# ... — SeRosiS 2011-06-06 15:06

The worst looking would have to be Final Fantasy VII. That game did not age well at all, so much so that I wish they would have made it with sprites instead.

They could have made that game look way better than what it does, just look at VIII & IX on the same platform. That and the FMVs with in-game characters, now that was ugly.

look awesome graphics but not very Tomb Raider like.

Well she had to originate from somewhere, I love this idea of Lara before she was a badass.

# RE: ... — AssassinXCV 2011-06-06 05:03

I'm so glad she had full tits when she was younger, hells yeah, better than Mass Effect, JK

Shit, I didn't even notice that was square.

Well no wonder the FMV is lovely and extravagant, I wouldn't have expected any less.
(Although maybe not much more)

Square and CD combined might be able to also squeeze some decent gameplay in there between them.

I wasn't impressed with CD's last few games by themselves, functional but not impressive.

But with CD doing most of the rudimentary heavy lifting I cold see square adding just enough polish on top to push it through.

Is just me or Lara look like Latina on those movies ? I mean the faces is not long enough to be British even so I like it

I hope this don't become another linear FF type of game... like FFXIII..ugh..
Laura deserves an open world..

mmm... wet.

ok great CG movie great character design , but tomb raider is more than that , we dont want a uncharted like on tomp raider and think many miss the old game play , i mean the steps jumps and explorations , if they can bring such GFX with a old tomb raider gamplay like ( steps jump , no indication , big levels , hunts , swiming , ambiance ) such combination could only bring the game of the year .

and sry for my eng .
i take lessons :)
