Despite having her franchise rebooted a la Batman Begins, it saddens us to see acrobatic archeologist Lara Croft give in to her old, animal-killing habits. Sure, there's a modicum of guilty pleasure to be derived from watching her kick tigers in the face, but the above shark-slaying video simply lacks ... finesse. If watching the lithe leading lady go all Richard Dreyfuss on the wonders of the deep is something you find upsetting, we'd advise you to skip to the video after the break, where she runs around Mexico sticking poles in holes.
Lara's polygons from TRII made my young adolescent parts tingle.
They need to take CPU calculations away from physics, AI, etc and put it entirely in sexiness calculations...More sexiness than any game ever created would make this the best Lara adventure.
These devs need to get their damn priorities straight.
The original TR had incredible swimming/diving experiences, with no underwater combat. The 2nd one had absolutely crappy underwater combat against sharks.
Hopefully this one will be more like the 1st one than the 2nd. Hopefully.

That last part of the video looks suspiciously like Uncharted, where the rock smashes through a piece of piece of the ground... =/

Yes because Uncharted invented gravity. o_O

Lol xD
Ok, not maybe, I was just thinking what was on my mind, what the scene reminded me of. =P

maybe not*
Joystiq needs an edit button. =/

Silly mortals.
Newton has the patent for gravity: if he were still alive, he'd sue you all to oblivion.

or a "you sure you want to post this?" button.

Everytime I see these trailers, the environment artists earn my respect more and more.

Yeah the environments and textures look like top-notch stuff. It's just what you do in them is looking a little shaky.
