A bit jaggytastic arent they! Which version are they from? Is this definately only going to be available via digital distribution?
Theres so many cons with this process of delivering media. I much prefer full, boxed retail releases so as to continue my collection of over 60 XBOX360 games :(
hmmm explains the visuals then if it's only an arcade game. The screens remind me alot of classic prince of persia - with a 3D viewpoint. Really don't think it suits a Tomb raider game
In fact its all abit of a disappointment. I was hoping that square buying Eidos would result in a tomb raider/rpg hybrid
LMAO, yeah, that pretty much confirms that i wont be buying this. my god it looks like shit. the guy who said it looks like a PSP game isnt that far off tbh. there isnt a single smooth edge in any of those screens.
why the hell did they choose an isometric view for a tomb raider game? crazy decision.
Well I know thats not whats about in teh game but man you can see its too far away,not that its a problem though Im just saying it would be nice to see Lara in its glory but maybe beingthis a DLC game there will be not much polygons there,I will stick to Underworld in the meantime.
This is not Tomb Raider 9 people. Its a DLC game. Plus the quality of the screenshot are awful. I've seen the same screens in other game sites and it dosen't look like this.

Yes it looks crap, for a full price retail game. But that's almost certainly not what this is. It's been confirmed as Digital Distribution only so I'm guessing this is going to be a PSN/Live Arcade title and possibly PSP and/or iPhone as well. That being the case the graphics look pretty much as you'd expect them to.
I'm sure the big Tomb Raider reboot is still coming, this is just a little side entry for the franchise.
People are way too quick to criticise these days.....

you'd expect it to at least look on par with trine, shadow complex or bionic commando re-armed. this looks decidedly last gen tho. not to mention the truely bewildering choice to make it isometric...a side scrolling platformer would be much better suited for the TR franchise.
as for the way this is being sold. isnt it episodic...meaning it'll probably approach full game retail price by the time they release every episode making it the most stupid thing they've done since angel of darkness.

@Doom_Bringer: I can't wait to get it. Had to reformat my PC, so back to ME1 to get a save. (7 Hours ago)

Well the new Mass Effect 2 DLC is awesome, probably the best DLC I have ever played. It has some unforeseen revelations though...like going after Cerberus and the illusive man (8 Hours ago)

@java4ever: Meh. I enjoyed the fact that Kratos faced his demons, conquered them, and then got vengeance. It felt very satisfying. Especially on hard mode. I wanted to rip my hair out at some points. (8 Hours ago)

2 each each own i guess, to me it was utterly dissapoing even with the moronic kratos vanish. Made worse by listening to Jaffe's Personal Epic choice for the conclusion @ some GamesCom interview. (8 Hours ago)

@java4ever: I have to disagree again. It ties up a bunch of wacky loose ends started by God of War 2 and did so in a very neat manner which was exciting and provided closure. (8 Hours ago)

By the looks of it (literary) it's an XBLA/PSN game. Hope they don't go for the €/$ 20 price range. 1200 space bucks could make it a hit.
Guess i'll wait for lara's following videogame appearance.

Lara is too far,if those are gameplay shots I dont like it,I want to be able to look at Lara's ass all the time and up close.

Those graphics are inexcusably bad. I've seen better looking PSP games, frankly.
maximum fail
looks quite like Fallout 2 Tomb-Raider-Style.
DS2 Touch + a Fallout type game would be nice

It look like fun. The Co-Op is interesting.
