Skyrim of Raider? I just hope the game is not based around killing shit for stupid XP and upgrading weapons. Tomb Raider is about its unique puzzles and clues for them. This game better have that.
So Tomb Raider has turned into a Uncharted clone. Not that it's a bad thing but if anyone ever played previous Tomb Raider games, especially the first three games on PS1 or PC they know that the platforming wasn't easy like that. You actually had to make sure when you jump, you jump from the right location and end up in the targeted location otherwise you would be in for a very huge fall or had to start your climb all over. The old games gave you more of a rush than these games.
I wish they would go back to that old platforming. Also, I really hope that Croft Manor will be there also. That is a staple of Tomb Raider.
Old platforming required that type of precision because it was difficult to make realistic arms and hands to grab ledges when you were a little off. As you saw in the video it isn't just jump and win. If you're off you have to do other things to fortify your grip. It looks much more involved and has more of a "rush" feeling going on. Old platforming exists in "old" styled games. Tomb Raider has evolved for the better from a platforming aspect.
This game isn't Uncharted or Enslaved where the platforming is magnetic and you pretty much can never fail. It LOOKS easy because the person playing it makes it look easy after spending time playing it. In actuality, it takes some time getting used to it and it's just as nuanced as it was back in the PS1 days, platforming that is. The same "precision" is needed in this game, I don't see how you can make an assumption that it's going to be easy just because it looks easy.
Small detail ... forgiving for a Pre-Beta Demo. Looks VERY promising but I hope they add a bag with a strap for those arrows, LOL. More videos and information to come I am sure. A person cannot get too negative at this stage.
Don't know why some developers still think it's a good idea to lead multiplats on 360 when it's been proven time and time again that when leading on PS3 both versions look and perform nearly identically!!
were the bloody arrows come from?? i really hope they fix this issue because it feels ankward, they are trying to be realistic, really? with invisible respawning arrows from the back? LOL

It might be decent, but all on it is set on an island.
I prefer the globe trotting of old.
they should release a public beta/demo
