View Full Version : Lara's new groove!
Let us all partake, in sharing all of Lara's new moves in Tomb Raider Underworld. The amount of moves that Lara can preform to survive, fight, and move throughout the environment is getting vast. Some oldschool moves from the beloved Tomb Raider Chronicles are coming back, such as the Tightrope Walk. And yet, newer moves are being introduced to Lara Croft, such as the Wall Shoot. We have used these moves to complete the game, discover glitches, and like the cruel humans we are, to kill our beloved Lara Croft. Let us all discuss these mves and attacks.
First up (sorry if the pics are big) is the PEG WALLED CLIMB
http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/Gigigigijug24/1-1.jpg
More like the Tomb Raider Angle of Darkness climb, Lara can move up and down, left and right, and left/up, right/up, and so forth. This climb is more realistic, for she grabs onto pegs, extended from the wall itself. More is to be knows if Lara can vault up, jump back, or shoot from the wall.
Second, WALL SHOOT
http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/Gigigigijug24/2-1.jpg
Lara can attack enimies from a distance, or from a hight in this instance. While Lara is holding onto a wall, she can unholster one pistol and fire at an enimie.
Third, TIGHTROPE WALK
http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/Gigigigijug24/3-1.jpg
Back from the best games made by CORE(opinion), Tomb Raider The Last Revilation, and Tomb Raider Chrinicles. Lara can reach areas by balancing across a pole, ledge, or tightly wound rope, in the screenshot, a stone feature. If exactly alike the move from previously made games by CORE, you must press directional buttons to refrain Lara from falling off
Forth, CLOSE COUNTERS ATTACKS
http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/Gigigigijug24/4-1.jpg
When Lara is close to an enemie, she can preform a close ranged attack on the enemie, such as a kick (see above), a flip, or maybe even bat the enemie with her weapon. These attacks are very useful, and fun to play around with when in a fight with humans or animals.
Fifth, POLE CLIMB
http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/Gigigigijug24/5-1.jpg
An outstanding move, and one of my favorites so far. While Lara is swinging on an extended pole, she can climb up and balance on a pole.

Nice descriptions of the new moves :)
wall running...
http://www.dignews.com/admin/screenshoot/tomb_raider_ann_25.jpg
now lara is able to run on 90 degrees vertical walls, and therefore being able to reach other areas that were far from her long jump.
she can also perform 2 different jumps from this movement: 1st using the momentum she is able to jump from the wall, and far from it, 2nd once reaching enought speed she can aswell jump along the wall reaching even farther areas...
I'm pretty sure at least one preview confirmed that wall-jumps are in too. I say it's about time :) .

The wallrun isn't confirmed for Underworld yet ;).

Well, as good as.
In here (http://www.tombraiderforums.com/showthread.php?t=114051) there's mention of Lara being able to 'Rappel' down a wall surface, which is what she could do in TRA.
I guess if she can do that, then we can make her run across the surface too.
:)
No. Not necissarily.
It's probable however...
Well I'm guessing since their new motto is 'What would Lara do', that they won't let her just absail down the wall, and not let her run across it.
She'll be able to get down it, and run across it.

Thank you very much for your nice colletion of new grooves! :) If I am allowed, I would add this thread to the media collection! :)
Wow...the screens look so cool...even though I've seen them before...Nice description :tmb: ;)
Good pictured description.
Never saw the first pic.
The wallrun isn't confirmed for Underworld yet ;).
WHAT?!?!?!... i thought they mention that every featured movement was already in the game plus possible new ones...
why would they take this move away???
Hopefully all of her old moves will be present in Underworld, that means crawl, shoot while ducking, monkey swing etc etc. Although her new gymnastic moves in underworld look cool, I'm hoping they are more useful. I don't understand why Lara lost some of her old moves from the CORE games and aquired some lame new ones in Legend.

I want every move she has...or almost every move she has, to have a specific use.
i want her to have everysingle movement she ever had,....
from the very old duck and shooting, to the wall run from anniversary,.. from the tight rope to the spike jumping, and sprint...
all of them,...
i would also want her to shoot while performing all her movements...

Loving the thread!!!
My first ever Tomb Raider game was Legend and i LOVED it! There aren't that many moves in Legend but i bought it in 2006 and im still descovering newer ones, if what they say is true then i will love this game as much as i already do!!!!:hug: LOL!:D
I also love the fact that the game will have every single detail like the pegs in the walls and how Lara can place her hand on it!:D
I also wish that they would make her shoot while doing a combat, that would be great!!!:yah:
It seems to be that other interesting movements exist that are not related to the action.:)
They are new movements that she does when she is stopped.
It seems that now she shakes the arms and shoulders like the gymnasts make to relax muscles. :cln::)
I like a lot those movements that she made before too, to stretch the arms or to shake the legs when she was dunked:)

I just cant wait until I can SPRINT!!!!:yik::jmp:
bring back the mid-swan-dive summersault! i loved that in the previous tomb raiders, pressing the O button to make her roll in mid air while diving into water!
i used to do it on the floating islands level of tomb 2 cos you can make her summersault loads of times cos theres no bottom to the level! :D
I want the ability to be Jesus in the next Tomb Raider, that would be cool.

YEEESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!! I want that too!!!! (but ADD to it of COURSE! :D) like, twists & such... :D:D:D

"Wall rappling?" I had never heard that before, thanks.:tmb:
I'm so glad this is starting to sound more like an adventure than just action.:D
The new moves look fantastic so far. I just hope they don't cut frames to make the animations faster...like last year :whi:
I'm also rather interested in seeing her using poles and spears as weapons. So far, I don't think such screenshots have been released. We'll see.
I really hope they don't overuse anything this time like TRL and TRA, which made both the games very boring and repetitive. I want to use the moves ANYTIME I want, instead of just when they are required to be used. Example, I want to be able to balance on any narrow surface or pole, not just the ones layed out for me. I want to also be able to climb where I want without invisible walls in my way. Most current gen games don't have very many invisible walls, and if there is somewhere you can't go in the game there should be a visible barrier. I want to make decisions myself on how to go about doing things without the game planning out my everymove, I want to feel like I am Lara, not playing as Lara(if that makes any sense lol).

That would be a Raider's dream come true
I just have a feeling the in TRU the wallclimbing, pole inserting, balancing etc is going to be overkill. I really hope not, I hope they can be more creative so you can do different things.

Yes that would be an amzing move to bring back! not a necessary move (similar to the handstand and Lara's tumbling techniques) but it's very cool to watch! :D

funny, when you said that, I thought of the moves Jue does in The Animatrix: Final Flight of The Osiris (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeapucGrAD4). She dives down a building in construction and does a series of flips and twists and such. I would die to see Lara do this! :p
