Tomb Raider Reboot E3 Trailer

Since the beginning of the year, we've only seen some details from Tomb Raider's reveal in Game Informer and the recent, alleged, script from what could be a scene straight from the game. Now, since E3 is just 1 day away, Crystal Dynamics has released the new trailer, set to hype up fans for E3 2011. It's entirely in CG, but hey, this definitely sets the story of what we'll be seeing in this reboot for the game franchise!

Activision kills Guitar Hero, True Crime, and lays off DJ Hero Devs

The music/rhythm genre had been dying for quite a while, but who knew that the Guitar Hero franchise would get the nail in the coffin. Activision has stated that "due to continued declines in the music genre, the company will disband Activision Publishing's Guitar Hero business unit and discontinue development on its Guitar Hero game for 2011." Ouch....

That's not all! They have also canned the reboot of the True Crime franchise, under the working title of True Crime: Hong Kong that was set to release a while ago, but was pushed to release this year. Activision also states that "The company also will stop development on True Crime: Hong Kong. These decisions are based on the desire to focus on the greatest opportunities that the company currently has to create the world's best interactive entertainment experiences."

Freestyle Games, the studio behind the DJ Hero franchise, has also suffered from the ongoing announcements from Activision. Massive layoffs have begun due to the lack of sales in the same genre that Guitar Hero was in.

With news still coming in from Activision's announcements, GamerzItch will keep you posted.
