From the preview: "Standing on a boat in the middle of the Med, the voluptuous Lady Croft glistens in the sun. She leaps into the bluest ocean we've ever seen, equips her breathing apparatus, and makes for a sunken tomb.
The scale is jaw-dropping. Lara is free to swim wherever she pleases and, after a dive which seems to last forever, she sets about exploring the buildings half-buried in the seabed. Tomb Raider has never looked this good."
Despite its relatively modest reputation in the greater gaming landscape, Tomb Raider Underworld was a huge game for AI development.
Gamerheadquarters; "With there being over seven hundred games, here are the best deals and in general the best games you should be checking out on Xbox 360."
The Tomb Raider Collection is on sale for $50.50 as part of the Humble Store’s Tomb Raider Week. The collection normally retails for over $200.
The Tomb Raider Collection includes every Tomb Raider game ever released for PC prior to Shadow of the Tomb Raider, including the award-winning Rise of the Tomb Raider and the top-down shooter Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris.
not because of the ps3, or nice cgi, not for hd.....but for something more important........TNA.
it will be as good as that picture! funny that no one is hoping or wishing any other games to be CG-like!
I wonder if its the same Kraken fight that was in TR: Legends? From the description, it sounds very similar. Only the path getting there is somewhat different.
Regardless, I hope the game turns out good and that it stays, as the name implies, in the "tomb" or in similar environments. No more "going to the city" or whatever other gimmick CrysDy decides the series needs.
uncharted is the new indiana jones. stop hating because its not on your 360 and acknowledge it is a great game. in my opinion, tr started going downhill after tr4.legend was ok. anniversary was brilliant (just coz it s a classic remake).
I found Lara's character animation strange. She looked really good running and swimming around... but the climbing (frog hopping) animation and jumping off steep ledges and landing look completely unrealistic and cartoony. Looks like they only did partial mocaps.
Overall, my take on this game is wait and see. Its nice to be able to swim in the ocean anywhere, but where can you go? Are there multiple underwater tombs or do I content myself fighting sharks or just get some virtual excercise? Will a riptide come and sweep me out into the deep if I swim too far?
