Tomb Raider - Reborn Trailer


Sledgstone

Tomb Raider has been rebooted! Lara Croft is now a complete bad ass. With what appears to be the God of War engine powering the game, Tomb Raider has never looked better.

Actually she's less of a badass and more of a frail woman that grows toughness through a series of rough trials. I've been keeping an eye on this game and it looks very promising. I can tell from the climbing gameplay that its definitely running the GoW engine. i've been wondering when another 3rd person action game would take advantage of the best engine on the market for the genre. I've heard there are some pretty brutal death sequences when you mess up and die.

That is a very in depth review. After watching the trailer again I can see how she definitely seems like a frail woman out of place. After reading that review, I'm actually more interested in playing this game. Wow.. that is a horrible death scene, I don't think Kratos has even had it that bad. O_O

 

There is only one other game that has used the God of War engine as far as I know. I've only played the demo of it though, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow.

I got this game over the weekend. I've only had the chance to play it for a little over an hour and all I can say is "Wow!" this game is impressive. Its all the little details that I'm noticing and every scene is its own scene. Like if you are walking through some area near a wall, Lara is moving her hand along it for balance.. when you hear some wolves, she hears them too and it looking in the direction she heard them.. when she is wounded, she looks visibly wounded and moves like it hurts. Every scene seems to be unique. When there are enemies, she is instinctively ducking behind some walls while I'm near them. Every grunt, moan, jump, etc.. is nothing like any other game I have played. Like if I'm playing God of War, Kratos will endlessly attack enemies, do the same grunting jump attack, etc. But when Lara makes a jump you feel her struggle to just barely make it. You get a bit more feel from the game and its something that is lacking in a lot of games. btw, yes.. if you miss a button pushing moment in a critical scene, some of these deaths can be quite brutal. In the heat of running under some boulders and hitting the wrong button.. holy crap. If anything it makes you want to improve your game play so you don't have to put her through something like that again. I can only assume she'd have been mauled horribly by wolves in one particular scene, but thankfully my bow and arrow skills prevented me from seeing it.

      I've been getting ready for spring for the last couple months and its taken up a crazy amount of my free time. We expanded our garden to be really huge last september in preparation for growing fruit and veggies. Then we decided to expand it another 6 more feet in one direction which we finally got finished last weekend. It was alot of work because our garden has an almost 6 foot tall deer fence all around it. We hammered in u-posts into the ground and attached the deer net and buried the bottom of the net so nothing will burrow under it. I should do measurements at some point to figure out its total volume. Its huge. lol.
      We have 3 apple trees, 3 cherry trees, and 1 nectarine tree in there. We still have to move 3 of those trees into their permanent locations (they are only 1 or 2 year old trees so its still possible to dig them up) and we have to plant a new apricot tree in there. I prepped the two rows for veggies last month but theres alot of weed whacking to do still and plants to move. We have 4 grape vines, 4 blueberry bushes and multiple raspberry plants to move. I started a bunch of veggies from seed and those tomatoes are still in an unused bath tub in my house with a light over them getting bigger every day. I'm looking forward to getting everything planted and done so all this gardening can give me a break.

      Well my dryer broke after about 15 years and multiple repairs I've done over those years. I had to buy a new dryer. So far so good. I was finally able to get my laundry done again and my bathroom no longer smells like dirty socks and febreeze.

      FML my pressure tank is failing for my well. Its getting replaced next week. Getting a new whole house water filter installed too along with some new valves and safety upgrades. Props to the well company employee for giving me the tip of hooking up an air compressor to the pressure tank to put some air in the bladder to get the system gimping along until the repair work is done. I miss public water. lol.

      This has been a busy summer. I'm almost looking forward to winter so I can get a break from all the lawn mowing and outside projects. Hopefully the snow blower I bought this year works good so I'll have alot of free time this winter to get caught up on things. When I've had free time I've been playing Final Fantasy X over the last 5 months and I've somehow finally hit 100 hours on it. Lol. Only took me about half a year.  I still didn't beat it yet but I'm at the end game stuff now with the monster arena and omega ruins.
