[Anniversary Lara]

Here is a link of the preview of the german "Gamestar". When you scroll down you will find the first site of the article about TRA as a pdf-file. Well, it's all in german, but maybe someone is interested in it anyway

Edit:

Here is the translation of the article (my english may not be that good though):

Happy Birthday, Ms. Croft

Tomb Raider Anniversary

For her 10th Birthday the Maker of Tomb Raider Legend send Lara through her first part of her famous series. Only a remake? No! Here is quite more than super looks.

What for a year! Not 2006, because December is still left for a complete review. No, let's look a decade back - to the year 1996, in which happend a memorable moment: For example the young animation studio Pixar broke every visitor records with "Toy Story", the first film, which were complety made by computers. As the last EU-Country Belgium got rid of the death penalty and the german soccer team won the European championship againgst the Czech Republic with 2:1. But what the games of videogames is most momorable, is the birth of a pixellady named Lara Croft. Now, ten years later the development team, who helped the clever archeologist to get her former glory with "Tomb Raider: Legend", accord respect with her former debut: Tomb Raider: Anniversary is the remake of the first part in a modern look - and more. We visited the publisher Eidos in London to find out more about Lara's newest old adventure - and to light some birthday candles of course.

About Lara and King Kong

Right at the beginning Toby Guard corrected a big rumor: "No, Tomb Raider Anniversary is no 1:1 remake of the original one. Instead we were inspirierd by Peter Jackson, who made his remake of King Kong very succesfull: To take over highlights from the original part with a modern look." So, the team didn't build the original Tomb Raider stone for stone again, but provide the "new" game with remarkable single cutscenes from [here stops the text]

By feeding this through google here are the interesting parts, most of it isnt even about the game... (I also made them -- I hope :s -- more english)

"Anniversary is a New edition of the first game - and more."


Toby Guard reinforcing the fact -- "” No, Tomb Raider: Anniversary is no 1:1 - Remake of the original."


And well look at that, thats all the usefull information from the preview, most of it is about what happened in the year the original came out, and compares its modernisation with Peter Jackson's 'King-Kong'... lets hope thats a good thing.



Hopefully someone speaking german will find this thread and translate the rest of the useless stuff just to see if I missed anything.


--And might I also say I really hope thats the PSP version, because its looking very lousy for ps2.

It better not be tr 1 peru. Lara should be in a cave for gods sake, which is whats completely wrong with Crystal's Lost Valley!!

Are they going to compeletely change the beginning? The sense of Lara being alone in the harsh snowy conditions really made her independant, he lack of concern for her deceased Peruvian escort showed us she had attitude and ambition.


Lara would not need an escort through anything less, and I refuse to pay for a game that disreguards Lara's heritage
