Flash! A-HA! He saved everyone of us!! GOODNESS ON DEMAND!!

[tlr online]

Eventually, Eidos will release lots and lots of wonderful videos and trailers showcasing Tomb Raider Underworld, and we - your humble magazine editors - will deliver those trailers in beautiful, polygon-rich, jaw-dropping quality for you to download and watch over and over.

Yet still, echoing through a chorus of delight and joyous applause at what may well be a pinnacle moment in the Lara Croft franchise, they'll be a lone cry from the distance that goes something like this....

"Can someone upload to youtube?!"

Well, dear lone Flash-friendly forumite. Fear not, because starting with Tomb Raider Underworld, we shall be adding to our already impressive repertoire of supported formats with Macromedia Flash. And you fine folk can get a taster by following this fetching blue-ish hyperlink (http://www.tombraiderchronicles.com/od/index.html).

Of course, I do have an ulterior motive by announcing this... :D Please use this thread to tell me if the Flash video plays OK, and also note your browser and version number. I'm going to fork out a tidy some of gold for an unbranded version of this awesome Flash player, and I want to make sure everyone can enjoy the stream.

Thank you. :wve:

works fine and looks cool.

[Shrantellatessa]

Working fine with IE.6 here :tmb:

[Ward Dragon]

The video played fine for me once I let it load completely. There is no sound, however. Is there supposed to be sound? I'm using Internet Explorer.

Click here for the test stream (http://www.tombraiderchronicles.com/od/stream_01.html).

Is this motive coming soon then? :D .

It works fine, and it really has the best quality on the internet I think. Good work Justin ;).

My browser is Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.14

Works like a charm Mr. Justin.

[Quasimodo]

No problems for me! :tmb: I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.14. :)


Same version, same results :tmb:

We've always wanted the next in-game Lara to look as good as FMV Lara in the video clip - and now she does! *ponders these aforementioned ulterior motives* :pi:

[Sir Croft]

Working fine here. Awesome feature, btw.

Firefox 2.0.0.14 here.

[Twilight]

Internet Explorer

working perfectly. much clearer than youtube.

[Ilie_Fusarau]

Nice new feature and incredible quality :tmb: ! Works great with Firefox,Opera,Maxthon,Safari and Internet Explorer (tested on latest version) ! :)

[KC Mraz]

working perfectly. much clearer than youtube.

I forgot to say that. The load time is smaller and looks better that YouTube :).

[oocladableeblah]

Working with firefox whatever the latest version is. :D

[mikelcroft]

safari 3.1.1

I'm uploading a second test clip, which is 20Mb in size. The first test clip is just 2Mb.

[kryptonite23]

Works fine for me...I am used IE,Mozilla and Opera :wve:

[tlr online]

Two test clips now available via Goodness on Demand (http://www.tombraiderchronicles.com/od/index.html).

[KC Mraz]

:yik:

The second video looks flappin' gorgeous. Everything working OK for me :tmb: .

[James_Rutland]

Thanks Justin. They work perfectly. Don't mind me asking... But do you know when a TRU trailer/media outburst/newscreenshot/anything will come out to add to your new toy? :D

[aussie500]

l wonder if there are any ulterior motives to choosing that clip?

[kryptonite23]

Very Nice Clip!! :D

It stil works fine here :)

[oocladableeblah]

2nd one works.

[Big Lara Fan]

First and second work like a charm! :D

I wonder what this motive is... ;) ;)

[Demetrios]

Both clips work perfectly for me; I'm using Internet Explorer 7.

On a side note, though, I felt a mite silly when I realized that there wasn't supposed to be any sound on that first test. I found myself cranking up the volume on my speakers, thinking, "this is one quiet clip!":o

Anyway, can't wait to see some TR:U media on that thing!:jmp:

[josh2l]

all's well here - i'm on Firefox for mac. ;)

[tlr online]

So far, I've had a bunch of emails about "missing sound" on clip one. In hindsight, that was rather silly of me. I'm going to replace clip one with a version with music. :rolleyes:

[2kool4u]

Why? You clearly stated many times that it had no sound o_O

[tlr online]

ooo, peru wolf theme worked nicely.

Video is 26 seconds. Wolf theme is 27 seconds. What's a second between fans? :D

If it was a production clip and not a test clip, I'd have faded it out properly.

[HollabackBoy]

Oh, this gets me verrrry excited. :jmp: Video works for me on Safari for Mac. :wve:

*EDIT*

Safari version 3.1

[wilou]

It works for me. I use IE (do not know what version of it)

[tlr online]

There is a certain amount of irony to this. Some years back, an old friend (Tom from www.laracroftonline.com) got heavily into Flash and tried to sell me on the benefits of Flash videos. I resisted back then and stuck with traditional downloadable methods.

But times really have changed. It's a much more on-demand world, as evidence by Google Docs and various other software packages which are now available online. It would appear vast numbers now prefer their material accessible via their browser, rather than viewable offline, which has resulted in us devising and launching this on-demand service.

[Rexie]

thanks justin :hug:

Eidos will release lots and lots of wonderful videos and trailers showcasing Tomb Raider Underworld,

:jmp:

[Nausinous]

I love the flash players, cheers Justin! :hug: Oh and I love that Lara model, I so wish they had used it for Underworld :(

Yes she is lovely, but she is to young to be the Underworld Lara.

[Nausinous]

Yes she is lovely, but she is to young to be the Underworld Lara.

True! That Lara doesn't look like she is mature enough to handle much. This model looks like it would probably walk into the first hell dimension have kittens and then run back to Croft Manor in the hope of being cuddled by mummy and then sobbing some more because her mummies not there :vlol:

[-Roli-]

Works fine for me:)

Mozilla Firefox /2.0.0.4

l fail entirely to see why people would think Lara would need her mother, Amelia had been dead over 10 years and Lara's father gone for at least 5. More likely to be the fans running for their mummy. :p

[Seb_01225]

works excellent for me!

[Nick56music]

All works perfectly. I also use Windows Vista and Internet Explorer 7. And there were no problems! Really good test streams. But does this mean, that there will be any trailers of TRU soon?

[tombraiderluka]

Great :D :tmb:

[Conway]

Works perfectly. Thanks a lot for this, tlr. I do hope though that once videos come out, there'll still be links to downloadable ones right beside the online streaming version, which I think will be the case. :D

[hey_jude]

How do you do to have a wonderful quality like this?

By taking great care when producing the FLV videos. :)

[amiro1989]

That's great. I mean, it's far better than YouTube and Dailymotion, a little bit like Stage6. Wow.

I guess Lara Croft will be amazingly beautiful, next time we'll catch her in a video ;)

Say the news box about the new Flash format is pushed down by latest updates, will the individual TR series microsite have their own link to the Flash versions of their respective videos, or will this be integrated into the Multiplex microsite?

A very nice service, everything here is working for me :p On Firefox 2.0.0.14 with Flash 9.

And you mentioned 'Macromedia Flash', wow, that takes me back :p

And also, I dunno but I think the bottom navigation bar should be a different colour, I don't think the blue goes too well with the rest of the site - in my opinion anyway.

[Anajrob]

Yesterday there were 3 videos in section Animations? :confused: Why it got deleted?
