new Tomb Raider 18+ - your thoughts

[LARALOVERnr.1]

check this out
Look at he bottem of the page; it says 18+. This means the new Tomb Raider will contain mature content.

I personally love it. Hope Tomb Raider will finaly get a little more bloody and realistic.

But what are your ideas about it?

[Brodie]

Probably just means more blood, more "horror" and more realistic deaths which is all good in my opinion.

I'm very keen on more mature themes in the franchise, but not overly gorey. Just realistic. TRU was getting on my last nerve watching Lara slide through spikes and blades like butter in a frying pan!

i just saw the new page, and i saw the new bloody lara. so now i'm really excited to see what they have in store. personally i didn't like the idea when it was first rumored months ago, but now that square soft or what ever they call themselves now is heading production, i feel that it has great potential....(excited)

I'm all for TR being more mature!!! This game is heading in the right direction!!!

And by the way, I LOVE the new Lara render!!!!!!

I love the fact that it appears to have the Silent Hill vibe and that is something you cannot possibly achieve on a rating lower than 18. In my opinion.

I like gritty realism and general life not some fairytale ending, "they all lived happily ever after". I just think 18 brings host to far detailed and darker stories. I always hate when things have to be glossed over to be "okay for teenagers", one thing I admire JK Rowling for, she never really held back with the HP books.

UPDATE: They actually just removed the rating... Take a look, it's not there anymore

So I'm not going blind after all!

But actually, if the game is likely no where near being released why would they rate an incomplete game? I suppose it could be some sort of guideline perhaps?

I SQUEE'D and idk why.

If the game is to be any good it should be 18+ anyway, being a long term fan I hate how the ratings have meant the violence and fear factor have to be toned down just to keep a 16+ rating. Better they give up and make the game Crystal Dynamics and the fans want and just accept the 18+ rating. Being rated 18+ is not likely to stop most of the younger fans playing the game anyway.

As far as I know this game is going to be totally brutal, lol. I don't expect anything lower than a mature rating. I voted option 3, but I'm 1+3.

Me too!!

[Denis..]

its time for the old fans to talk and believe me after looking at the 1st 2 screenshots this game isn't for kids..nothing like the childish underworld and cute guardian of light..this game is indeed brutal and realistic from almost every angle..deaths that make u scary as hell and it is a really hard game so the rating is totally right! at last a game that i believe its for the old fans who had lara for dead and not for the kids that underworld was..time for lara to return on the top 10 ..

[Pulse]

Lara may finally be a total Bada$$ like in my dreams.

SQUEE!

[Denis..]

exactly pulse and from what i've seen its gonna bring lara back on top but there r still rumours about being only for ps3 but nothing is official yet..

[Danielsun]

im praying to thor that this knocks uncharted for two, would love to see lara back on form, if the last game (LCGOL) sold well and they took some things aware from that i would say it could do quite well (co-op please )

who knows, only just announced, probably not coming out for another 2 years looking forward to finding out more

Tomb Raider II was ultra-violent. How many people did Lara have to kill in that game? Remember falling into spike-pits or getting crushed by walls in China? Or that horrible, twisting, thunking sound your body makes hitting the ground?

Yeesh...

She's a murderer and she steals ancient treasures, and yet somehow that's OK. It'd be more realistic to portray her as more of a bad-ass, more like the character from the original concept art. A real warrior-woman.

[josh1122]

I could careless if it was rated 18+, T or E for everyone. If its a good game,I'll play it regardless of rating.

[LARALOVERnr.1]

UPDATE: definately will be 18+. Check Gameinformer's preview. Weird guys that stab her in the chest, hanging corpses and skull-chrushing boulders?

GRUESOME!!!

But I have to say, I like it

besides, as Pulse experienced, you can't enter the website if you enter an age below 18.

[qwerty]

guys just try to keep ur brains in ur heads..those are images.however i must admit that i have a good feeling about this

[BraveNewGuy]

TBH I don't care at all , as long as its gonna be better than TR:U Im gonna be happy

[chriss99]
