^ Cool! I've never seen that picture! And yes, it definitely looks like a possible Atlantean War Machine - you can see that Natla has transformed into her Atlantean look, i.e. it's after she's thrown into the lava..

Or maybe it was just a suggestion as the Natla battle, but then they decided to have a heads up instead..

So how was the game "not even at the beta stage", as Aussie said?

I don't know many details about Core Design's AE.

This might be totally unrelated, but apparently Crystal might have been planning to include the War Machine as well. There is a concept art which I think can't be anything else.

This is Crystal's concept art:
OMG wow that pic is amazing!!

Well the voices weren't done, and neither was the music, and there
were probably still some bugs that needed creasing out, but surely,
most of the areas must of been done

You can see from the second trailer that most of the areas were at least 60% complete...

I wish Anniversary would had this included. That'd have been awesome.
BTW I was wondering - when I first discovered this concept art from CD - if they had planned to use the original idea from Core's AE or if it was just a coincidence.

I'm sure Core would have made this perfectly and if it was already made, I wish we'd see some screens of it someday.

Hmm, it could go either way. The War Machine was supposed to be in TR1, so it's possible that both teams went back to the TR1 notes and decided to use it. I also heard rumors in general that Crystal used some of Core's AE ideas, although I don't know if it's true and which specific ideas were used if it is true.
