Next Tomb Raider will be open-world (HQ Images)

Gamersyde: "Three artworks and a list of informations. Here's the content of the leak that gave us the very first informations on Tomb Raider 9 a few hours ago, revealing to the world what Crystal Dynamics has been up to in order to relaunch the legendary franchise. The details are surprising. For exemple, we learn that the new adventures of Lara Croft will be Rated M, a first for the series. Better yet, the game will take place in an open world - a mysterious Japanese island inhabited by strange creatures. A new perspective for the series, a little scary too. But nevertheless exciting as the possibilities are vast. Hit the link to discover the first three artworks and read all the details..."

This should be interesting to see how it turns out.

For Gods sake I hope they'll give it more polish than the previous (Underworld) Tomb Raider cause a lot of that was a glitch gangbang.

I'm hopeful.

This looks like a great concept, but what I don't get is why don't they just try a new game, you know it could be inspired by Tomb Raider, like how Bayonetta is inspired by DMC(same developer), but you get the point, hope it turns out well

1.3 - yeh it does sound interesting,typical SquareEnix to announce it already
even though we wont see it for a good while though

tomb raider needed a new direction as it was stale i think thats why so many gamers gravitated to uncharted

its too early to judge before seeing any gameplay but
they are now owned by Square Enix and they love to announce games 4+ years before they actually come out.

1.5 - I'm in no hurry for a new TR....
After TR: Underworld they need to rethink and polish up their game if they want TR to be as big as it were.

I'm not sure if this is a wise direction to take TR. More mature and darker might work, but they tried that with Angel of Darkness. Focus on puzzles and exploration and leave the combat if they can't nail it...

The first Tomb raider was my favorite game "for it's time" back about 12 years now...

Tomb raider has always been,and always should be about climbing/jumps/exploration and puzzles....

If they are going to have more action it needs to be done right,not half arsed,dont do any action if you ask me,if it's going to be done poorly or even so/so...

The main formula for Tomb raider needs to be in,advanced upon and stick to the proper Tomb raider formula...Stay close to it's origin and essence,while moving forward...

Open World sounds interesting,and is a leap forward if done properly.

I have my fingers crossed...

Sounds interesting enough but it's a strange reboot at that: looks like a horror game.

The series certainly needs something new as Uncharted wiped the floor with it in EVERY department.

If they make the game as good as the 1st Tomb Raider on PSone I'll check it out but if they keep on making games like the last ones that came out I won't be happy.

SO what do you think those guys are? Geneticaly modified humans or Monsters?

Based on the last Tomb Raiders , Drake took Lara's place at this point when it comes to exploration games to me.

It does look alittle like a Legacy of Kain game [I wish it was a new Kain game], But Open world Lara game does sound promising,[but its got along way to go before it can even come close to Uncharted] when's it comin out 2009 or 2010.

Edit -- The images are not HighQuality, they are not even SD.

Tomb Raider meets The Ring and the monsters from Dead Space joins in ;) (The one in the second photo with the horse seem like one)

Havn`t played a TR much before, but maybe this new take on it could be the step the franchise needs to get back on track. It certainly needs it if it`s going to compete with the train scene from Uncharted 2 ;)

I'll pay a hundred bucks for an uncharted + laura croft cross over.

I'll pay 200 hundred for a god of war + heavenly sword cross over.

As long as they keep the exploring and the quality of puzzles seen in Underworld. I like uncharted but it's puzzles and exploring elements arn't up to Tombraiders standard. Need both really as there very different. Uncharted for shooting, Tombraider for puzzles and exploration.

It's refreshing to see that someone understands that Tomb Raider and Uncharted are two different games. I remember when Uncharted was first shown and the devs said it's not a Tomb Raider clone. Fast forward two years and all these Sony fanboys fools are always comparing the games.

Uh ? i've mostly seen sony fans keep fighting against people (xbots or not) calling Uncharted a tomb raider .

Back then many couldnt just forget the jungle setting and realise it's a shooter , and got more in common with gears of War , than any exploration game

Could it be the first tomb raider to actually interest me ?

Before i shock anyone , i disliked the first ones (and didnt care for her digital boobies like some people ) , mostly because of their rigid imo controls and the game's gameplay anyway . And later i no longer cared enough to bother . Even when the info came that they at least fixed the controls especially with the latest game .

There is also the fact that i wasnt happy they put the awesome legacy of kain team on such "chore" , the tomb raider duty , with nothing else new from them since .

Here it basically sounds like a new ip maybe , but it intrigued me already .
At least i like the fact that she no longer looks like a porn star .

16 - She looks like Angelina Jolie in 2009
She's like anorexic or something, in that artwork at least.

They just need to go back to the roots of the game if you ask me. Have exploration, solve puzzles, hot laura, and great storyline!

In the latest Underworld game the story seems to say that it is going to be continued...

...but with this upcoming game it will be a prequel, so we'll get to see a more younger and inexperienced Lara and how her journey all began.

I think that it's a good idea, maybe a good re-think for the series.

Maybe these guys should play Uncharted more and take some tips from that game.
