I think it's more a re-imagining of the character/series than trying to fit anywhere in particular in the existing franchise.

It's a reboot.

Been a huge fan since the very first tomb raider game in '96.

Never been remotely interested in the tomb raider series - I'll probably be pre-ordering this much more interesting looking reboot. 8)

I knew I shouldn't have watched it :? This was my big game for the year and now that it's delayed this has made it just that bit worse.

I don't think the game looks a lot like the previous tomb raiders but they may pull it off. However all the variations from the winning tomb raider formula have ended badly.

The old Tomb Raiders 1,2 and 3 are really good and I would buy them on GOG.com if I didn't buy the Tomb Raider anthology from the UK last year (that is the only place I could find a copy of the first 4 tomb raider games in one package).

Looks interesting to me. Hopefully still full of those exploring moments that made the originals great, and not just a string of quicktime events or anything like that. (it crosses my mind after watching this clip that it might turn into this...maybe completely unfounded but...)

Still looks good tho.

Looks they're appealing to the "I like to see hot women suffer" market :/

That whole trailer made me mildly uncomfortable. The things that were happening reminded me mainly of Uncharted in terms of chaos and explosions and surviving-by-skin-of-teeth. In Uncharted though, the main character was presented differently I think. More cool-headed and less overcome by bloody brutal suffering.

I think it looked pretty damn good. But hopefully it isn't full of QTEs. I love the beating that Lara got, a much more realistic(ish) look then we are generally exposed to.
