Square Enix has released a new gameplay demo video for Rise of the Tomb Raider. Setting the stage for her Siberian adventure, Lara Croft travels to Syria, following a thread that she believes leads to an immortal Prophet’s Tomb. Filled with deadly traps, puzzles, and a ruthless shadow organization only steps behind, Lara must use all her skills to survive. Kudos to our reader ‘durka durka’ for bringing it to our attention!

Dreadful in every way in regards to gameplay. No one should really care this is coming to PC a year later after XBox One exclusivity bullsh*t. Pick it up 75% off in Steam sale.
We’ll see.
It would be nice if the game would let you play for more than 5 minutes straight instead of having constant cutscenes, scripted events. I just hate it as it constantly interrupts the gameplay. If someone wants that kind of experience, they should go at the cinema.
Oh my what good news 🙂
All I want is less scripted events and less qtes please!
Not going to happen, it’s the same dumbed down junk as TR 2013.
are you sure the narrative is going to get better by just removing them ?
i think they are fine only if the game includes a nice gameplay. The stealth video was pretty good.
Those qtes and scripted events are not included in “gameplay”. I think its fine.
I don’t see how the narrative is improved by obnoxious uncharted running away from explosions that adds nothing to the experience. Story moments are fine, but the momements I described above, I could do without. QTEs are almost never enjoyable. Can’t think of many examples.
The “stealth” video was basically a video gameplay from the assassin’s creed series. Watching that video made me sick as i’ve already played this game seven times basically. This is not tomb raider. This is a poor man’s uncharted dumbed down for little kids who thinks that a few of lara’s moans here and there equals character development. It is not. It’s just hollywood bulls**t created just to sell as much as possible. Puzzles in a tomb raider game? Who ever heard of them? Just dumb them down as much as possible for the crowds. Have you ever played a previous tomb raider? Not this sh*t…a proper tomb raider, once i spent 3 weeks trying to solve a puzzle in that game, guess what? It was more fun than running just forward because i’m supposed to watch a scripted cutscene where lara falls and moans so i can understand her “predicament” I stopped playing the 2013 halfway through it, guess why? Because i had to kill waves after waves of “bad guys” WTF? Is this gears of wars or something? Where are the tombs? And not this little sh**ty 5 minutes tombs, Proper ones. This for me is just a product created to sell as much as possible, not a game with an artistic vision.
At least it’s nice to finally see a female protagonist in an AC game…. oh wait.
i understand you. As a kid, i never liked them.
But …. that gameplay had nothing to do with assasins creed. Lets not kid ourselves.
Aerial assassination, hidingi n bushes and climbing trees. Connor has been reskinned.
tree climbing and hiding in bushes ……. because that idea is SO original. Who would have though that ?
They did in one game that assains creed could not have done in his entire franchise. Stealth. And which is more believable than a character who murders an entire army
Sorry for my bad use of English.
if you want stealth play thief or MGS, not some dumbed down idea of stealth.
thats my fav genre. And let me tell you that was not dumbed down stealth.
Alll right…you’re a kid, i understand that. I won’t try to have a critical exchange of opinions with you.
how mature.
those games are great, but old. gameplay mechanics would feel short for today’s standards
boy go home.
like if i’ve never played them !
Quit gaming or go back to play atari then.
go home boy, study some more!
im home and it could be said that im studying.
I know a good psychiatrist that will treat your peterpan syndrome. Dont be shy, just ask.
you still answering? JFC
i think so.
so how are you today?

Imagine it’s the first time you’re playing this… how many times to resolve it?… how many dies?… I want this gameplay feeling with new graphics…. it’s so hard to achieve it???
well judging by two long gameplay videos they showed so far, it will have more scripted events and same or maybe more QTEs and maybe more linear gameplay than the last one.
Looks a tad bit more open actually. So far there are a lot of scripted events, haven’t seen too many qtes yet though.
hope this game will have dx 12..
What’s with Lara acting like a 15 yo, where’s the badass one from the previous true tomb raider games?
WTF
I didn´t play much original TR games, but i finished Uncharted 2 and 3 and TR 2013.
Sorry to disagree with most people here, but it will be awesome! The battle TRvsUncharted will be great! It´s a game that surely make me think about spending money on a new videocard.
