With Crystal Dynamics telling an origin story with the upcoming Tomb Raider, they've been given a bit more freedom in introducing new gameplay mechanics. The big key theme is 'survival'. Here's a brief demo given during the Microsoft press conference. While the graphics look visceral and the scenes are gruesome at parts(lots of quick time button mashy events), I found Lara's script to be rather awkward. Would you really say 'I need to get out of this place' if you found yourself in such a situation? I know... It's done to reinforce the premise to the player, but it's still a bit jarring. Release is planned for Fall 2012. Watch the demo below...
