Tomb Raider Gold

[Feb 07, 2013, 4:10 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

The Tomb Raider Facebook Page announces the new Tomb Raider is gold, and this attempt at a gritty reboot of the action/adventure series is scheduled for a March 5th release (thanks Gamer's Hell). Here's word:

Back in 2010 when we announced Tomb Raider we promised to break new ground for the franchise – to create an origins story that forges Lara Croft into a hero, and takes her on a journey like no other. I’m very happy that I can stand by those words today.

We’ve put everything into this game, and I’m certain we’ve created something that explores Tomb Raider’s history while pushing the limits in interactive storytelling and design. Development has spanned two studios, a pair of E3 stage demos, 50-plus magazine covers, 150 award nominations, nearly 800 fan art submissions, almost 2,000 blog posts, and over 50,000 replies from you on our forums.

And now it’s time to get the game into your hands. We sincerely hope you enjoy it. We think you will, We are immensely proud of this game.

28 days to go.

I'm looking forward to it. I really enjoyed the previous games and when I saw it discounted to £17.55 / $28 on GMG I figured it was worth taking a gamble on.

I agree with the dude who stated having more puzzles would be better than combat. That was the best part of Underworld which I hold as the holy grail for Tomb Raider games. It was my favorite due to the locations, details, and puzzle quality. Was highly enjoyable. Looking forward to this one.

I still have Tomb Raider Gold for PC. It came in a crazy pyramid-shaped box.

I thought the combat mechanics in Uncharted was pretty awesome actually. I've enjoyed that more then the puzzles

The puzzles were never particularly difficult, but combat sometimes was. I liked the game best when it split them. If it stuck me fighting too long I'd get quite annoyed. Have a room, try to clear it but enemies keep coming, keep coming, keep coming. Sometimes you'd mow like 40 of them down before clearing the room. Excessive.

However, I did love the series. Great lead character.
It's still the only games I've played on the PS3. I should break out Hard Rain or something soon, I suppose.
