Yeah but this guy is still huge. Or maybe he is wearing something... i don't know what really. :D

Does anyone have a HD download for the E3 parachute demo? I really want it since all the videos on youtube are pretty blurry even though they claim to be "HD" or even a stream that is really HD would do the job.

In case you can't find it.
http://www.gametrailers.com/e3/video...chute-gameplay

Under the video, there is a download link to download it as an MP4 file, 720p. But trust me when I say it's true 720p HD quality, not the crappy 720p youtube videos have. It looks great.

Also, you'll need to log in to download it, but if you don't have an account, you can just sign in using Facebook or Twitter.

Not super, I mixed the one from the trailer with the new..

So, you can create awesome wallpapers, you can fix boy-Lara and you can make awesome soundtrack remixes too. Is there anything you can't do :p ?!

It's really nice :D .

No. When I was a teenager, I knew the entire script to Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2, I could watch both films in my head. Ultimately pointless, but you do that sort of thing when you're a teenager :p

Thank you all

Nah, don't worry. I find geekiness in people an endearing quality. :p

@Feareffect
You should remix the Cliff Lin Music with some of the tomb raider ones. It works so well/has the same tone.

I sing the song in the shower everyday~

I am guessing this next five weeks will be packed full of goodness. Looking forward to the last push in promotion! :D

We need more multiplayer modes revealed, episodes of Guide to Survival, podcasts and a launch trailer along with another Final hours episode. It should all be pretty good and compared to the last three installments there isn't that much spoilers so it should be pretty fresh. :jmp:

This next month should be the final sales push to the masses. :)

Lara Croft has been raiding tombs and taking names since she first appeared in the original Tomb Raider in 1996. But 2013 sees Lara get a Hollywood-style refresh, rebooting the character and the series for today's gaming audience.

Tomb Raider introduces a new, younger Lara Croft. This Lara is 21, fresh out of university and on her first archaeological expedition. She's seeking out the fabled island of Yamatai when she and her colleagues are shipwrecked in the "Dragon's Triangle" somewhere off the coast of Japan.

This is far from the confident raider of tombs seen in earlier games, but a vulnerable – yet resourceful – young woman, who must survive the various elements of this mysterious island. The events of Tomb Raider will see Lara grow from innocent girl to hardened survivor.

Lara's story is told in a dynamic and cinematic visual style. This mysterious island is brought to life with treacherous terrain and moody weather, with handheld-style camera work complete with lens-flares and rain splashes adding to the realism of Lara's plight. This is a much more mature story than in previous Tomb Raider titles.

Tomb Raider offers new challenges and gameplay for newcomers and series veterans to experience. The classic action-platforming of the franchise are still present, combined with elements of exploration, survival, stealth and physics-based puzzles.

The mysterious island of Yamatai is the perfect breeding ground for all of these gameplay elements to come together. The island is home to some very strange, very savage inhabitants, as well as a band of unscrupulous scavengers who Lara must face in order to survive. These hostile enemies are a driving force in the main single-player campaign, their actions dictating what Lara must do to save herself – and her friends

But the inhabitants aren't the only surprises the island brings. Legend tells that Yamatai was once ruled by a queen with shamanistic powers and an army of samurai, and the strange symbols and 'Shrines' – side missions with mini tombs to raid and puzzles to solve - suggest that there may indeed be truth to this legend.

As well as the many challenges that the island throws at Lara, Tomb Raider introduces levelling-up gameplay, another first for the series. Lara can (and must) salvage tools, weapons and resources in order to face the threats of the island, taking what she needs from the animals, people and crates scattered around the island. Tomb Raider also allows Lara to earn and upgrade her skills and abilities as the game progresses. But even these upgrades don't come easily – weapons and skills must be learnt and honed in order to be used successfully.

Tomb Raider also includes a wealth of multiplayer modes to further enhance your experience of the island. These team-based options include Team Deathmatch, pitting a team of Lara's Surviving Allies against a team of Scavengers in maps that are filled with the same perils and pitfalls you would expect from a Tomb Raider Game. There's also Rescue, a more adventure-based battle where the Survivors must collect and deliver med-packs while the Scavengers must reach a certain number of kills. In all the multiplayer modes, you can earn XP and advance and upgrade your characters. The multiplayer modes were developed by Eidos Montreal, the studio responsible for Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Tomb Raider has already coveted over 40 awards at E3 2011 and E3 2012, including IGN's Best Action Game in 2011, Game of Show and People's Choice in 2012 and Best Trailer both years. Expectations are high for this game which is already garnering praise from critics and all corners of the industry.

I wonder if they're going to reveal anything new about single player before release. I kind of hope not, because I feel so spoiled, tbh. :p

I'm also wondering if the game is completely finished. It probably is. I've heard that games complete development 6 weeks before release. :)

I would say it should be finished if not soon. Five weeks to go I'd expect in three weeks time the reviewers should be getting their early copies. :)

If the game is finished, I wanna see final build of Scavangers den... At least 5 mins... Just to see improvements... :/

I hope they don't show any SP footage anymore and if they do i'm not watching it, i've seen enough to know that the game is amazing.

I thought the "savage inhabitants" were the scavengers..

I doubt we'll see the den now.

CD's promotion idea it seems, was to introduce us to Lara as a whole new character. We see her in the den, then, closer to release, we see her become the Lara we know, chasing after her friends further inland.
Maybe in the launch trailer perhaps :)
