Game On: What's the focus for Tomb Raider at E3 2012?

Karl Stewart: This E3 is pretty exciting for us because we've been hibernating for the last year because we decided that it was time to go quiet and focus on some of the promises that we made about bringing this sort of reimagining to life last year. This E3 we're very excited to come back and show a lot more depth and character performance. Last year was all about survival and setting the tone of the character, now you're going to really get to know her. You're going to see how she takes a turn in her character to make her stronger. We all want to see Lara get some action-adventure here, this is it this year.

Can you talk a little bit about the sequence that people will be able to experience?

Last year we showed two 15-minute segments. Lara was found hanging upside down by an unknown assailant and had to break free. Then we jump forward to where we saw Roth, and we taught you about the whole system. This year the content we're showing takes place in between those two sequences. We get to see how she grows and gets her new bow, her first piece of equipment. We teach you about some of the base camps and getting gear and how you're going to be able to improve that over time, and where she gets her skill. We introduce some of the newer characters, some of the crew that managed to survive on the ship. I don't want to spoil too much, but there are some reoccurring things in the content that we're excited to show this year.

Is there any other crew that you can mention?
