Lara escapes her own tomb in Tomb Raider gameplay video
Early in Microsoft’s E3 2011 Press Conference, they turned the stage over to Crystal Dynamics, who used their time to show fans the first extended look of their upcoming Tomb Raider reboot. During the gameplay demo, the much younger Lara Croft has been captured by an angry tribe who have hung her upside down in a cave. Using a nearby torch, she cuts through the ropes and crashes onto the stone floor. The player must then perform a quick time event to eject a sharpened stone from her stomach. Yikes!
And it only gets more intense and “visceral” (according to Crystal Dynamics) from there.
Tomb Raider will be released for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 in Fall 2012.
MS @ E3 11: Tomb Raider returns in Fall 2012
Microsoft’s E3 Press Conference opened with an amazing assault on a sub in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and a thrilling escape from a cave in the new Tomb Raider. Lara actually crashed through the ceiling of a part of the cave and needed a quick time event to pull a jagged piece of rock from her stomach. Whoa!
Developer Crystal Dynamics announced that Tomb Raider will be available in Fall 2012 on the Xbox 360 (and PC and PS3 as well).
Square Enix’s E3 lineup includes playable Final Fantasy XIII-2
Final Fantasy XIII-2, which was first announced at Square Enix’s 1st Production Premier event back in January, will headline the publisher’s E3 slate.
The game will be playable for the first time on the E3 show floor, where it will be joined by other big titles like Hitman: Absolution, Tomb Raider and Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Suffice it to say, Square Enix has hugely embraced the Eidos Interactive properties they acquired back in 2009. Square Enix will also be showcasing Deep Silver’s Dead Island at their booth, which they will distribute in North America.
Hit the jump for a ton of information on Square Enix’s E3 lineup straight from the publisher. (more…)

Lara Croft is shipwrecked in the Tomb Raider E3 trailer
The gritty reboot of Tomb Raider finally has a trailer. The people at Eidos felt that Lara Croft was more of a super hero figure and wanted to create a more vulnerable Lara in this reboot. In essence, think of this as similar to Batman Begins. In the Batman movies, the superhero is portrayed as this unstoppable paragon of justice. Batman Begins analyzes the story of how he had to overcome his fears to be the nearly invulnerable Dark Knight. As such, this Tomb Raider reboot focuses on Lara just after she graduated college. She is taking in the world with a sense of wonder and she is very, very vulnerable. Eidos has stated that they are not afraid to let Lara die; there will be plenty of moments in the game where a gruesome death awaits our fledgling adventurer.
Tomb Raider will be part of Square Enix’s E3 showing next week.
