Eidos Offers Sincere Apologies for Tomb Raider Underworld Glitch

game-killing glitch in the Wii version of Tomb Raider Underworld. Now, it seems that Eidos themselves officially know about it, and have responded to the issue at hand:

"We are aware of a bug which is present in the Nintendo Wii
version of Tomb Raider: Underworld. We would like to stress that this is an extremely infrequent bug, however on the rare occasion that it occurs; it affects the presence of a lever in the Thailand level of the game and prevents progress beyond this level. Eidos sincerely apologies to anyone who has experienced this frustrating problem.

The quality of our games is paramount to us and the Nintendo Wii version of Tomb Raider: Underworld went through three separate QA testing departments prior to release. Regrettably anomalies such as this do occur occasionally in videogames despite the best efforts by publishers to avoid them. The good news is that it is not an unsolvable bug, so if you encounter it and it persists please visit www.eidosinteractive.co.uk/support/worldmap.html ." -- Eidos, via Kotaku

Kotaku suspects that calling one of the numbers listed will result in them telling you to revert to an earlier save, or offering one of their own that can be transferred to an SD card-- basically, the same solution as before. Of course, that all assumes that the person with trouble has a) an earlier save, or b) an SD card/compatible computer.

Hopefully they'll issue a recall soon.

DavidMacDougall5628d ago

Like Sony would listen there just waiting for Uncharted 2 : Curse Of The dying Bot. Where the world becomes very stupid and technology keeps taking steps back until the world is in chaos then you have to travel to the Microsoft building and stop it once and for all!! Coming 2009.
