They would not have Lara on the cover without an article in the magazine.

[QUOTE=Bomb Fighter;6158294]Yes! And it´s out May 10th. That means tomorrow. :jmp:
I am looking for a link, because I have only e-version on my iPod.
It says: [B]Tomb Raider: World Exclusive[/B]
- The truth revealed on why the dramatic reboot was needed
- Why Lara Croft is vital to the future of PS3
- STUNNING 10 MINUTE EXCLUSIVE FEATURE ON OUR FREE DVD[/QUOTE]

The video footage is probably from last year, do not get your hopes up about that.

[QUOTE=Love2Raid;6158478]There's still the DVD. :p
I wonder what it will contain.[/QUOTE]

Probably The Last Years' E3 Presentation :(

That wouldn't really be [I]exclusive[/I], would it? :p

I'm guessing it's a compilation of stuff we've already seen with commentary and perhaps a 'new interview' mixed in if we're lucky. :-/

[QUOTE=aussie500;6158466]They previewed the E3 footage from last year.

PLAY #207

Oh they did then. What's the point of doing it again, then? :confused:

maybe they mean exclusive because it's been released to a DVD for the first time and maybe it's the full untagged... i mean without the commentary or the tag..

I would presume they actually have new info, other wise it would not be a world exclusive would it. We suspected some magazines might get a preview in before E3, looks like PLAY scored the first one. May the 10th is hardly that long to wait.

I don't understand.
Is this DVD only exclusive for this magazine and exclusive to PS3???? :confused:

But when I asked them on Twitter if there's going to be anything new and exclusive in the mag, they replied following...

[quote]@LukasXilba Hi Lukas - sadly the only Tomb Raider content in 218 will be a feature on the DVD![/quote]

[QUOTE=Love2Raid;6158478]There's still the DVD. :p

The Leaked footage from last year from the same video we've all watched, slowed down to 10 minutes. :p
JK.

Must an awfully good feature to get the cover then, maybe we are going to be the victims of yet another false advertising campaign. I would expect better from PLAY though, so will hope for something good.

If they have paid for exclusive material though, they will be miffed if fans go posting it all over youtube, so likely we will not allow links here. Someone will have to fill us in on what it was.

[QUOTE=Love2Raid;6158478]There's still the DVD. :p

4 minutes of Karl interview from June 2011 with 6 minutes E3 stage demo.

It's really unlikely, they would have anything we haven't seen yet. Perhaps some exclusive interview, but with old info :/

I think SpyrosMonster was right when said:

^ Or maybe a different version of the stage... the more polished one or something like that... I have doubts that it's going to be something new! Anyway if this is going to be available here in greece i will deffinately go and buy it..

[COLOR="white"]OMG! MAYBE IT'S THE PLAYABLE DEMO FOR PS3!!!!!!!!!! :OOO
JK! ;p[/COLOR] :D

Here is a better picture of the advert for the next issue of PLAY.

Nice, thanks aussie500! :hug:

Um, so what do you expect then? Remember the tweet they've sent me.

That big T & M looks a little unusual.

@Lukass, tweet again. Just like I just did.
[url]https://twitter.com/#!/ShaikhSiddiky/status/200224809177710592[/url]

^ And what am I supposed to tweet them? :confused: The cover is misleading if there's only the old demo on the CD. That's all I would say.

So why is LC vital to the future of PS3? Any guesses? Will they make it PS exclusive or additional stuff will come out mainly for PS3? And what's the ten minute thing? footage video?

I am confused :o

No, it doesn't mean any exclusives for PS3. There were similar tags in X360 mags.

I asked them:

(That was the clean image Aussie posted)

And Play Magazine just tweeted me this:

Ask them if we will see anything new of the game itself.

In the reply of last Tweet, I said:
[QUOTE]Thanks. So we can wish we might get this later month. :)[/QUOTE]

And they replied:
[QUOTE]I'm sure there will be news soon! :)[/QUOTE]

So they know something is coming very soon. :D

[QUOTE=lcroft_lc;6158607]Play Magazine just tweeted me this:

You and your conspiracy theories :rolleyes: :vlol:

[QUOTE=aussie500;6158609]Ask them if we will see anything new of the game itself.[/QUOTE]

Done.

[QUOTE=lcroft_lc;6158607]Play Magazine just tweeted me this:

Does not sound good that, expectations have lowered a bit. :(

I will settle for Karl playing through the second demo while talking to someone about the game. The camera better be on the screen most of the time. Not that Karl is not good looking, but I want to see the game more.

but the previous gameplay we've seem is less than 10 minutes, this one might be the leaked gameplay footage... 2nd it says "stunning" :p

in case if same will be a little disappointing..

^The extended version of the E3 demo is pretty much 10 minutes.

I thought as I left the forum and began walking to school that maybe the footage would be the second demo of the night hub, would be nice.

Nothing wrong :hug: It's just hard to believe they would push something back...I mean something TR related. I'm pretty sure Crystal has (or had months ago) all the stuff prepared and I don't see a single reason why some info should be pushed back :/ It's disappointing....

Maybe Karl said them that they aren't ready! Remember GameInformer coverage delay issue? There was an article around December 23/24 which was pushed 24 hours and GameInformer said CD needs one more day to make this thing come right time.

And probably they want to launch every magazine issue near same time!

[b]@lcroct_lc[/b] Aren't ready after a WHOLE YEAR? :confused:

[b]@aussie500[/b] [quote]@LukasXilba Unfortunately not - expect next big news will be at E3![/quote]


/case closed

I swear to god! If the next podcast is about food or anything absolutely irrelevant I'll just die!

I'm waitting for it either way

So there is nothing new?

And back to the reality... :cen:

Something is coming...

Two days in a row we think we're getting something new and then nothing....

:pi:

[QUOTE=larafan25;6158644]So there is nothing new?[/QUOTE]

Tomb Raider has a long standing tradition of being late, nothing new there. And considering everything is probably geared towards showing a beta version of the game next, maybe things are taking a bit longer than expected and they could not do it in time for the magazine article. It could have even been a hold up with the new render for all we know. Any number of things could have happened to spoil things. Maybe Microsoft and Sony are still battling out something that was going to be announced, because it seems awfully strange Tomb Raider is suddenly so important to Sony again. I would think PS3 players should expect something extra with a statement like that. As usual we will just have to hope we get something before E3, not like we are not practised at waiting by now.

^ Since Tomb Raider is not exclusive game on any console I don't expect any exclusive content on X360 or PS3. The last thing they want to cause is to disappoint either X360 or PS3 players.

Seems to me that it's the magazine that is holding something back, not necessarily Crystal D. Or maybe the magazines were getting ahead of themselves and CD said not yet?
