Watch the extended playthrough. The player goes past things that can be burned and the icon pops up even without Lara lighting it. It's fainter, but there. And as for the time it takes for something to burn, surely flames are a clue enough that you lit something or relit the torch.

Yeah, exactly.
In the final puzzle room you can kill yourself by lighting the barrels by the waterfall, you even see the icon appear.

Which ones the final version then? The shorter demo fits their description of the icons decreasing as the game progresses.

It's confirmed you can kill yourself like that in the very first magazines.

Larafan, yes, in the main room, I think it was said that if Lara lights the stuff near the exit, she will die, so you have to figure out how to blow it up without coming to harm; that's the puzzle.

@Leglion, I don't know. Both were shown at E3.

edit 2: Also, the icon to light the flame does pop up when you walk near it, but the button doesn't appear until you start doing stuff.


I've played couple of times xbox 360 this is the controler... but i guess the controlls were in pre-alpha stage too

I doubt the controls were finalized. I mean, Survival Instinct was mapped on Y, one of the face buttons. Doesn't make sense to map a command on something that's apparently optional.

Oh yeah, I know. I'm really looking forward to that.

Yep, in the GI article it says she will die if she lights the barrels from in front of them, and we can see they are interactive...

The shorter version is the cut version, the extended version would be more accurate would it not be?

I think the "cut" demo is the more accurate version. It was just edited. It wasn't actually that short. I remember Karl saying the demo would be very different from what we saw in the demo somewhere. But it fits their description of what the final game was supposed to be like. The extended demo had icons consistently, the edited demo had them decreasing.

Same, I'm incredibly curious.

Like...if this were TRA she's just grab her side and fall backwards.

I hope she goes flying backwards into the water, where her body then floats down the stream into the fire.
