They definitely seem to be getting more into the small spaces in this game so hopefully there will be a crawl.

I knew you worked for CD. :vlol:

Back on topic:

I wonder if they've upgraded the engine enough to not have walls? Just ground and a horizon (or whatever)?

?WutÉ :p

Chances are the island is one big mass of polygons, the game world, and the ocean is around it, and then the sky much further away, a giant sky box. :)

But that was a tagline, which is comparable to A survive is Born or Forget everything you know about Lara Croft.

Whats been said here, is that we can truly get to every place we see (if our abilities and tools allow).

That's a good point. We probably won't see her climbing to the top of mountains.

Depends on how the axe works.

Itès not like climbing to the top of a mountain would ruin level design or anything, she cant fly.

If the axe can interact with all rock, then we could climb right out, but if there is a special texture or points to attach to, then we probably wont.

Pausing through this video, I think the crawl animation when she is climbing the incline is just a sped up version of what could be her normal crawling animation.

Well she gets to the top of the one with the radio tower so...she gets there somehow.

Hmm. That's right huh. Maybe she really can go anywhere that a real human could.

Exactly.

See this is my theory thingy...

We enter the hub, we have to go up to the wolf cave which is up in the mountain, but not too high. We donèt have the axe yet though. Thatès why in the leaked demo we have to climb all over the monastery and why there are wooden debris and architecture going up the rock, so we can get to the cave without the axe.

However, all of the rock aside from that looks normal, cant see any texture difference or any hand holds for the axe.

So maybe we really can just smash it into any stone surface and go.

Would be nice.

Maybe.^
Maybe she finds a away up there via inside caves/catacombs made by the scavengers. Ohh that would be creepy.

But then whats the point of the axe (question mark). Unless you mean getting to the wolf den. :p

I am fascinated by the idea of using the axe inside caves. Like vertical caves you see in real life, and just scaling up the rock until you reach a material it cannot cling too, and having to jump backwards and climb around.

Im trying to get to the mountains at the end, but the shots are too interesting..

I think this shot is so cool, it could have been used for some promotional art or something...
