Rise of the Tomb Raider 2015

 I've never really actually played tomb raider, so I don't know a lot about the game play at all really, but I do remember playing one of the games on the Playstation 1 with my brothers. The only thing I really remember is Lara Croft fighting a tiger that just randomly came out from a cave... yeah we died a lot on that part. Anyways from what I can remember and watching the trailers and game play videos there isn't a lot that has changed, except for the graphics and plot, and characters and the setting... yeah not much has changed. I'm sure you guys can find a lot more that's changed in this awesome new game than I can.

Just to start out if you've never in your life played a single Tomb Raider game I'll tell you about the most recent released game. It was Tomb Raider (2013) for the PC, and Xbox 360. The gist of it was that Lara Croft (the main character) set out on an adventure to find the lost kingdom of Yamatai with a large(ish) crew on the ship Endurance. During their little voyage they get stuck in a Japanese version of the Bermuda Triangle, called the Dragon's Triangle a giant storm comes destroys the ship and Lara Croft is the only person left. She finds a creepy island with a bunch of long lost inhabitants still living on it but eventually finds some other survivors. They get captured a couple times and the island won't let anyone leave. Lara is betrayed by Whitman, one of the survivors, and they have to give chase to stop Whitman from letting Sam, once again another survivor, be sacrificed to the Sun Queen. In the end everything ends up okay. She went from a naïve 21 year old girl to a pro survivor, but her mental state really crumbled at the beginning of Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Crystal Dynamics really killed us with the Rise of the Tomb Raider description. Heres what they said
"In her first adventure, Lara Croft was forged into a true survivor, but she glimpsed a deeper, secret world. In the next chapter of her journey, Lara must use her survival skills and wits, learn to trust new friends, and ultimately accept her destiny as the Tomb Raider. Featuring epic, high-octane action moments, Rise of the Tomb Raider will take gamers to multiple locations around the world filled with exploration spaces that are some of the most beautifully hostile places on earth. In addition, after hearing the cry from fans loud and clear, the game will put the tombs back into Tomb Raider, all in the franchise's gritty Survival-Action style."
I didn't think they were going to tell us anything in the first few sentences then I saw the "Featuring epic, high-octane action moments" and I flipped. The thing that I'm most excited about though (and you should be to) is that their "adding the tombs back in Tomb Raider". Slow clap for CD (Crystal Dynamics)... slow clap. Just to ruin the moment...this game is only going to be available on the Xbox One sadly. But hopefully if you don't have an Xbox One just go over to your friends house that does have one so you can place this amazing game. No doubt the game play is going to be great, I hope you guys will enjoy this game just as much as I did when I played it on the Playstation and please leave some comments about your Tomb Raider memories and if you think this is going to be a good reboot game!

Also, heres some concept art and the trailers for the 2013 and 2015 games.
