Tomb Raider to launch Autumn 2012 News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 E3 2011

Gameplay footage debuts at MS E3 show.

The Tomb Raider reboot launches in Autumn 2012, developer Crystal Dynamics has announced.

A new trailer for the game shown during Microsoft's E3 conference offered a first glimpse of what to expect from the game.

The sequence shown saw Lara trying to escape from a network of underground tunnels while being pursued by a feral local.

There were a few environmental puzzles to solve, some brief-but-brutal combat and some hammy voice acting.

After successfully crushing her pursuer beneath a giant boulder, she emerges into the open to the sight of ruined planes and ships.

We'll post the clip as soon as Crystal Dynamics makes it available.

In other words: no proper development has started yet, except for a bling bling CG teaser.

I really hope that this game is able to capture what I personally felt was lost in the step to next-gen with Underworld. The conclusion to the story I felt was weak, the gameplay mechanics were, bizarrely, less fluid than it's last gen counterparts and the puzzles, rather than capture my attention were usually too long and uninteresting. Hopefully this reboot will see the series return to the fun of TR 1/2, Legend and anniversary.

This was the highlight of MS' conference and it isn't even exclusive to them.
