Why is it so quiet in this section? Have we run out of things to analyse down to the smallest detail? :p

I do believe we had a similarly lengthy counter to E3, and that time flew by.

This is no big at all.

That gets boring and annoying at times.

Watch you hate the game.

Holy crap, I'd piss my pants in laughter.

Tomb_of_Darkns 08-07-12 15:45

I have a funny feeling that this will be completely opposite of how everyone was with Underworld.

Like everyone was so excited and loved everything that they were getting, but they hated/were disappointed when they got the game.

Now everyone is very cautious and somewhat doesn't like what they see at times, hopefully when they get the game they will be happy with it lol

But this is all wishful thinking :p

I'm glad you put that smilie at the end because that shows that you get it. There are some here who take the exact thing you joke about seriously. :)

That's my gripe. If in the reboot they are using in game QTEs I'm ok with that.

I have recently had an incompatibility with Legend and QTEs. Maybe just my fault and my lack of configuration, but I'm re playing this game on PC with a XBOX controller and when I have to play the QTEs I have to use the keyboard because the game does not recognize the arrow keys on the remote. Sure it's my fault but hopefully with this new game not happen the same. Oh sorry I'm a bit lazy with this. :o:p

Tomb_of_Darkns 08-07-12 17:14

When exactly is Comic Con and will we see anything new?

Rai 08-07-12 17:29

AFAIK Comic Con starts on the 12th (Thursday) and we don't know if there will be anything new.

Tomb_of_Darkns 08-07-12 17:32

Maybe we will see the same gameplay, but with a few tweaks since they are only polishing now. There was a video of the deer demo I think it was the one from Gt.tv, and they added more strands to her hair, so maybe we will see little tweaks like that at Comic Con.

Lukass 08-07-12 20:04

Just rewatched the deer hunting demo + new friends footage. I think I'm falling in love with the game again!

They better show us something new at Comic Con! :D

Do you have the Gamespot demo that plays from the exit of the scavenger den up to finding Sam?

As that video has some pieces the others miss, including the deer hub at night with the music playing which is really amazing.

Yes, that exactly what I just watched. Would love to see the video with the tomb entrances and wolves, can't find it though :/

All I remember is that video is the G4 TR special.

Man. UG!

I want this game now.

AHHH

The environments are stunning, I'm sure they will be great to explore! <3

I'm watching the forest footage again. Even if they said it's one of those smallest areas, I'm sure there are path they missed. It's still big...
The lighting and all. The way she's running...I'll be just running and lurking around, doing nothing and just enjoying her run :D

I can't wait to run around that one at night!

But for me, the most beautiful location has been the new vista. It feels straight out of a painting, not just visually though, the sounds and the camera effects, so atmospheric. It's incredible. I can't wait to explore the shores of the island eventually. I bet when we return we can make the jump Lara fell from, and it will lead somewhere new!

I think she'll always fall from that jump tbh.

YO!

You know nothing about tombs until you listen to that last podcast that featured Karl! The way he described how we'll feel when we stumble into our first tomb! We haven't even seen the inside of one yet! I bet it will be epic and feel SOOO right seeing her in this ancient place, and all of her knowledge will just spill out (okay maybe not).

I'm talking about the new redone vista area...

http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/g..._2008/jump.jpg

The colours are amazing, and it looks straight out of a painting. Plus I really just want to throw Lara off the edge to see how she dies. :pi:

just*raidin*tomb 08-07-12 20:25

I love Crystal for being inspired visually by that one artist.

Same, honestly. That scene is so layered, those clouds, you can even see lightning flash in the distance, yet the scene upfront remains not a storm.

It's incredible.

In fact...amazing. Wow. It's just the start of a storm, and then it really begins to rain progressively...and I hardly realized. How did they do that!? D:

He just said that what we have seen weren't the tombs, and that they don't want to just show the tombs, they want it to be a good moment when you're playing the game, and that when Lara does finally come across a tomb that it will feel right and you'll see her a bit more as becoming the tomb raider.

I have no idea. It is pretty cool though.

Can't handle this...

If it's the jump I'm thinking of, then I think we'll be able to reach it. I'm sure I saw something on that ledge. It's a jump that looks doable.

Lukass 08-07-12 20:44

I also thing that it's doable. The moment is scripted for the situation, but we can probably try it later in the game and explore the area.
