No real spoilers. I was expecting a full-motion Bacon Lara cutscene, but you only see her on a poster on the wall. Damn you, Riv! :p

Nice video. :)

Dingaling

10-05-07, 20:26

He did MattJon!

LOVE the new animation they've added to the flipping when she goes into the water - brilliant! And beautiful music :).

Thanks Riv!

Thanks for this, is great to "hear" about the score....ahh it sounded funny it my head.

Rivendell

10-05-07, 20:26

No real spoilers. I was expecting a full-motion Bacon Lara cutscene

Is she holding a spear? O.o

Edit: Nah, it's just the light and the 'bone' under her arm.

Sara Croft

10-05-07, 20:27

Does Bacon Lara look good `? :p
Nvm, saw it! :p

:yah: BACON LARA drawn in the backround !! Awsome. Thanks for posting... And this isn't much of a spoiler for the people who don't want to watch it. Just talks about the composing. :hug:

Her new 'finishing acrobatic move' when she jumps in the water looks A-W-S-O-M-E!:jmp:

george_croft

10-05-07, 20:34

Im so glad that the bacon Lara concept looks like the original!:D
And Lara's new kick-ass move, rocks:jmp: :tmb:

NatlaIndustries

10-05-07, 20:34

Funny he said Laura, cause he sounded American, and I thought us Brits had to change it from Laura to Lara as americans couldn't say Laura, so whats with that. Or am I a useless judge of accents.

OMG THE BACON LARA! :jmp: Thank you Rivendell! :tmb:

Yuna´s Wish

10-05-07, 21:52

Thanks a lot! :tmb: It was simply allucinating :) and Bacon Lara is sexy :p (she always is sexy)

Sekhraider

10-05-07, 21:53

Wow, I really like how Lara was doing her acrobatic cartwheels and flips towards the pool. It looks way better and more believable than the acrobatics in TRL. I think that I like this development diary more than the first one. This one is focusing on the music and the visuals and I love it. I want to download this one. Where can I?:jmp:

Oh yea the poster with Bacon Lara looks sooo cool. She looks superhuman and more scarier (from what I could see):D

Rivendell

10-05-07, 22:00

I think that Bacon Lara's head looks like that cyborg-ninja from Metal gear :D

MillenniumMan12

10-05-07, 22:03

Thanks so much Riv :hug:

It shows a lot more than the other one :cln:

Is there a downloadable version anywhere?:confused:

MoonSword

10-05-07, 22:04

*tries not too watch*

**** it... *watches*

Same here! :D
And the acrobatic moves are so beautiful. I give her floor routine a 10 and the gold medal. :)

10-05-07, 22:41

Damn. I couldn't resist watching it. It was great :D

MiCkiZ88

10-05-07, 22:49

The only thing I can say now is.. wow. :eek:

The movement is so much more.. softer.. and fluid than in anniversary. And the cutscene in the courtyard with the Mummy standing at the entrance looks amazing!

Thanks for sharing :tmb:

11-05-07, 00:06

wow , Thanks , the music is so perfect I love it.. the game looks so good, the new animations are very good. I think im going to like this game , but i think they alredy shown too much of the game... I hope I can erase what I saw now lol

MMAN

11-05-07, 00:15

I noticed that a couple of control things have been smoothed up from Legend; for instance, it appears that you can jump instantly from poles, rather than having to swing around once first.

michaeldt

11-05-07, 00:16

Did he say "Laura"?? hmm

I think that is just his accent.

You could do that in Legend :)

Wow everything looks soooo amazing......i can't believes its only 2 weeks (hopefully) till we get the game:jmp:

MMAN

11-05-07, 00:26

No you can't, I just checked; if you jump from the ground to a pole you have to swing around once before you can actually jump, in the TRA video they jump instantly from poles despite leaping from the ground (in Legend, the only way to jump instantly from one is when you jumped from another pole). Considering this, I'm guessing they've optimised some of the other movements too.

Good to hear they are focusing on audio, as it's very important.

Mr K

11-05-07, 01:42

MUSIC IS AWESOME!!!!!!!:jmp:

Sekhraider

11-05-07, 01:57

I forgot to thank you, Riv, for the wonderful footage that you have bestowed upon us humble members of the magnificent Tomb Raider Forums. But yes, thanks once again. I cant wait download this video and it definately is more enticing and optimistic than the first one. This was definately a highlight to a dull and boring TR week:D

Jin Uzuki

11-05-07, 02:05

It's good to wake up to this. :) Thanks for sharing! :tmb:

GilJanus

11-05-07, 02:58

That was very nice.

Once again - the music really helps to set the entire stage for the game.

Thanks.

Gil, who realy can't wait - I want the game right NOW :cln: :cln: :cln:

Thanks!

Did he say "Laura"?? hmm

So...? Not everyone can pronounce Lara and you have to accept people the way they are... Seriously, just because someone doesn't have the accent like you that doesn't mean you have to be mad at them. It wasn't direct. Moreover British people can pronounce Lara better than others and I find it racist 'sighing' because people can't say it like you do. Again not direct speech.

Thanks for posting the movie! :tmb:

Woop Legend!

BUt they chose Lara because people with an accent can't say Laura. She was meant to be called Laura Cruise originally or something.

I think most people calling her Laura is a result of plain ignorance

Rivendell

Correct. There's no excuse for calling her 'Laura'. There's no 'racism' in *sighing* because the people in charge of TR can't even say her name properly.
Not to mention Keeley Hawes herself.. :rolleyes: "Mother? It's Laura! Your daughter!"

Their humans, they make mistakes. It isn't really a problem and they aren't doing it purposely.

"Mistakes?" The games even have Lara Croft in the title!

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary

It's not that hard.

Riv, I've always assumed Keeley does say Lara, it's just her accent.....(and her effort at trying to sound posh:p )

xXtOlM_Lp94

An oversight that big would be to unbelievable.....Lara calling her self Laura in-game;)

Thanks very much but could someone upload that to youtube sinse it stopped half way through for some sad reason :(

Kiss-Bite

11-05-07, 17:06

:tmb: Thanks, good to know that bacon Lara will definitely be in TRA! It just wouldn't be complete without Lara's atlantean clone & that great mirror the moves puzzle.:D

thevman

11-05-07, 17:28

Nice clip. :tmb: Didn't really see anything spoiler-ific, just lara moving about the terrain. She does pull down a blocky pillar and a wall, but the wall at least had a gold ring on it so we know she's supposed to grab it with the grapple anyways... ;)

Phlip

11-05-07, 22:23

I've seen it all the way through now, thanks again :wve:

EDIT: about half way through when lara pulls the block dow, half of it disapears:mad:

Is is just me blabbing or we have found a new way to compress video files? I downloaded the QuickTime video at TRChronicles for a ~70MB file (3min11) but the WMV video which was added lately only counts for 24MB?Normally a 640x480 video file costs a couple tens of megabytes each half a minute, doesn't it? (Look at the Folly Trailer with 64MB for only 47secs, while the resolution is about the same)
