Wow it looks great there is quite a bit of slow down though, hopefully that will be ironed out.

The video itself is a bit odd though, doesn't play very well on media player and loads of artifacts on VLC.

I used media player classic though and it played ok on that.

AMAZING INDEED! You're right, I think the slowdown is to do with the video though not the game itself ... the video is simply badly done or something.

Amazing textures and Lara's model looks absolutely fine.

I think the slow down is in the game, unfortunately, but we all survived Legend and I can't imagine this is as bad as that.

I am mega hyped. There's no question that it ties heavily into Legend, and there are some really nice hints dropped in this trailer as to where things are going narratively.

Oh and it's looking like a great game but we already knew that. Anything that builds on Legend and Anniversary is going to be tons of fun to play, and this takes steps further by seemingly having the theme of the game be deep underground locales.

Oooh, makes me all giddy! In the name of adventure I think I'm gonna go replay Uncharted a third time to grab those new shiny trophies they added. Oh and I think I still have some Legend achievements left to round up.

Absolutely Simon. Did you see those two statues with one flipped upside down and the other on top of it ? Those are apparently a HUGE big puzzle and you get to see them move in all sorts of crazy ways and that's what has been mentioned in a recent gamespot preview:

Another highlight had us solving a puzzle involving two giant statues that was epic in a way that not nearly enough puzzles have been since the first Tomb Raider game

Preview here: http://uk.gamespot.com/ps3/action/tombraider8/news...
This puzzle is part of the Games Convention Demo! I am SO hyped for this game! :D

Another VERY positive preview and they say ...... it looks better than uncharted!
http://www.gamesradar.com/xbox360/tomb-raider-unde...

I must say, this is really shaping up nicely. I didnt see anyone complain about framerate or slow downs in the Demo which should put our fears to rest.

It looks awesome.

Controls still seem a bit clunky though, hard to tell if the person playing was just bad or the controls were :P

It deffinately looks better than Uncharted in motion.

Nice to see she can do the Super Mario wall jump now too :P

Notice at about 2:45 in, how she can grab on to crack on walls but cant hold on for much longer and falls down ... that's very realistic and a very nice touch .... they added so many little things here and there ... this reminds me of how Gears of War is adding all those little tweaks that just make the game more interesting!

Cool, I duno what it is with these videos from the TR forum but they are very jaggy looking and play like crap.

I hope the finally game doesn't have jaggies like this. :S

Although the chances of me getting it for PC is most likely anyway.

I'm definitely getting it for the PC. While most games in this genre don't really translate well to mouse and keyboard controls, Tomb Raider, maybe unsurprisingly, does. I guess it helps the game has a strong PC heritage.. plus.. anyone wanting to play it with console controls can just plug in their Xbox 360 pad and there ya go.

Win-Win.

I played Legend on the Xbox 360, and Anniversary on the PC. I think I might give them both a spin again. I hope that they bring Underworld to Gametap, I expect they will, since literally every Tomb Raider game thus far is on the platform. Hopefully it comes sooner than later. Gametap doesn't often get new releases, but they do on those rare occations. I hope this is one of them.

Just saw the gameplay. At first it seemed clunky like you mentioned Jolli, but I think as I saw more I began to realize the person playing just wasn't very good.

The graphics do look pretty good. The lara character model ain't all that, but it isn't really that big a deal when it really boils down to it. I like how she moves foiliage out of her way. The climbing looks pretty good plus I liked how the Tigers looked when they came at her. Looks promising. I'm also leaning towards the PC version of the game, but what I may do is get an extra cable and just hook my pc to my hdtv because my pc monitor sucks.

24" LCD's are the way to go. I want a 30" but I'm not sure they make a lot of sense yet.. the price gap between 24"-30" monitors is pretty unreasonable. Plus, the performance requirements to meet that resolution and get the most out of that sort of monitor is still extremely high end. Then again, as someone who uses graphics apps extensively, it would be really nice--plus then I could keep my 360 hooked up to my 24". Right now the Xbox is on a 20" LCD TV I have sitting on my desk, since I was worried about Soul Calibur burning my plasma.

/ramble

I'm sure the console version of this game will be great too though. I'm just really hoping that it hits GameTap since that's the PC's only real sort of rental alternative. As much as I love Tomb Raider games, I'm not sure such a short experience warrants the full retail price for me.

Yup I would just run your PC through your HDTV, they are quite good as PC monitors especially the 1080p models.

I run both my PC and consoles through my Projector and I would find it hard going back to a HDTV or Monitor now.

Only downside is the cost of the bulbs :S

New preview article at eurogamer
http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=22...

The usual complaint about combat but thank god, the previewer acknowledges that tomb raider has never been about combat. Nice read except the first two paragraphs which always seem to bring up the a**/boobs remarks which to be honest I am sick of.

I like how Lara animates and of course the game does look pretty good visually.
