No way. Tomb Raider has been great for years. There isn't another series like it right now. Like I said in the tran topic, I like the general ideas--isolation, exploration, and survival--but that's not what I've seen from these trailers and last year's demo. Maybe CD is bad at conveying these things in trailers, but it's a lot of QTE, a lot of scripted events, and explosions. That's nice and all, just not what Tomb Raider should be, at least for me. I can see why people find it appealing, but it's not really what makes Tomb Raider great. It's what makes Uncharted great.


I think that doing trailers for that type of game suffers for the same reason as doing trailers for a stealth game (see Hitman,) trailers are meant to be exciting and get you hyped for a game, in the case of Hitman, showing a trailer where 47 goes for the Silent Assassin achievement is not gripping enough, and I feel that's probably the same thing here. As long as you aren't killing hundreds of enemies ala Nathan Drake, I feel they are on the right track. Keep in mind this is also supposed to be before she was a world renowned grave robber.
