The same here, the graphics are absolutely stunning and having a gander at a younger Lara - how she became what she is today - will provide a much needed background. The only thing that threw me is how did she get her hands on an iPhone when - if this is a back story - it should take place before 1998?
It's a reboot that throws the original backstory out the window. The original premise was that she'd crashlanded in the Himalayas and was the only survivor.

Don't be too impressed by the graphics. The trailers I've seen so far have only been pre-rendered.

Ah. But then, why bother re-writing the story, it makes the whole franchise seem flimsy.

(Although I always thought that TR1 Himalayas level wasn't the beginning of her career.)

They've re-written the story a few times. In the original storyline Lara had been on adventures prior to the Peru levels in TR1, it says she'd been to find Bigfoot. As far as I'm aware the same happened with Anniversary. Looks like this is a complete reboot, which I'm glad of to be honest, the Legend/Underworld storyline was a little poor.

And the graphics even in gameplay are stunning.

Who really cares about the precise nature of the backstory? The important point is she gets marooned alone and learns how to survive, kickstarting her lifelong love of adventure.

It's all about the Broad Strokes, people!

E3 snippets:

We haven’t killed Mirror’s Edge. We’re actively looking at how to bring it back in the right way. We love that franchise. The DICE guys really created something I think special the first time around. You’ve got to have a big idea to be able to do the next one and that’s what we’re working on.
Good news there.

This is from XCOM (FPS remake). I don't care about the game, but I'm mighty impressed that modern graphics can do this.

Y'know that video where diffrent developers were talking about the Wii U, Is it sad i was expecting Gabe Newell to be in it?

Portal 2 on the Wii U?

Just realised there was nothing on HL: Ep 3 again.

I'm getting the impression it may go down the same route as Duke Nukem Forever (which is out NOW).

There's no reason why it couldn't be. Nintendo claim the the graphics are as good as the 360 or PS3. And if my crappy 2004 computer can play Portal 2 with no issues, even something weaker than those two consoles (but better than the Wii) would be able to handle it.

That is the best E3 stage show, bar none.
