Plot:

Tomb Raider explores the intense and gritty origin story of Lara Croft and her ascent from a frightened young woman to a hardened survivor. Armed only with raw instincts and the ability to push beyond the limits of human endurance, Lara must fight to unravel the dark history of a forgotten island to escape its relentless hold.
Tomb Raider is scheduled to be release on March 5, 2013[2] for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Mac OS X.

Looks good. Some parts seems a little uncharted-esque, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Thought?

Can someone explain what happened with the old, ''original'' Lara Croft?

Are you talking about her appearance? Let's face it, the original Lara Croft was basically a teenager's fantasy. As the series has progressed they probably realised that they needed more realistic proportions just to give the series credit again. I think they've done a good job this time around, she looks much better.

It's a shame about the release date being just under a year away. I'm itching for a good adventure game, I think I'll have to get hold of Uncharted 2 and 3.

Looks like a lot of quicktime events are thrown in there. Hope that isn't the case.

I forget where I read it (GameSpot?) but that was apparently a common concern that they're addressing, supposedly going to still have these events but they're making changes to make it more "free style".

Certainly looks interesting but i hope it won't rely too much on QTE's. I still want the old Tomb Raider platforming. Also i notice she kills a Deer, i hope this is because it is open world and you have to kill to animals to survive and not some mission where it says "kill 3 deer".

Shame to hear Keely Hawes won't be returning to voice Lara Croft. I thought she was the best voice actress for Lara Croft. I suppose because it is a younger Lara, they probably want a younger sounding voice.

Definitely, Keely Hawes was the best voice for Lara Croft. There's no word on who the voice actress is for this Tomb Raider though, although obviously we know that someone has been cast.

people originally called Uncharted a TR clone
I remember playing the first Uncharted and saying, "so this is Tomb Raider but with a guy as the main character."

I'm not overly sure about your idea for it being a survival horror though. I can't see this having elements of RE5 nor Dead Space. Time - and the game itself - will tell though, I guess.

I agree, Keely Hawes was a great voice actress. I'm really unsure to be honest of this approach to Tomb Raider. Part of me looks at this and thinks that it looks cool and all, but it's just not Tomb Raider anymore. There are no tombs, no ancient civilizations, no globe trotting... If they're going to change the property this much, they should have created a new property. Not to mention the brutal kill stab in the trailer shown at E3, the deer hunting, etc. It just isn't Tomb Raider and honestly, I think all her whining is going to get old too.

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it
