Tomb Raider Forums - TOMB RAIDER General Discussion Thread

I think that those disturbing messages are meant to be part of the whole eerie experience, also, nothing supernatural, it's just about the Fire ritual where they'll try to burn Sam in hopes of resurrecting Himiko, which I hope never happens because Sam is the 2nd best thing in the game!

Also, aren't they being a bit transparent with their plot? I mean, come on, "embrace the flames", "she will rise again"? Gamers won't be playing this for 5 minutes before they'll release Sam's gonna get cooked :p

I feel like theres alot more to the story than that :p ALOT more, I hope Im right. Imagine Himiko as a boss fight :ton:

I was joking lol I hope so too :p

Crystal are not so subtly pointing us in the right direction with those white painted arrows though. I know what I'll be doing when I got the game; ignore them arrows and explore everything else >D

I'd only ever buy any TR mechanise if it had the "flawless goddess" on it as a member here said and didn't look basic. :p Most of everyone on that site is beyond basic and looks tacky, especially the bags.

Any word on PC Specifications yet? *sigh*

I want to pre-order the survivor edition but I can't know which console to get it on as I have the option of PC or 360 and I can't pre-order until I know the PC specs. Damn renting and car repayment making me poor! Still so odd on why they've left the releasing of specs so late!! If they release them on the day of game release ima be so pissed!

The specs on Steam are official minimum requirements, according to Driber over on Eidos Forums. The recommended ones are to be announced soon.

Meh, too bad the demons look really lame. Unless there's some other ones that aren't boring.

I certainly doubt it.

I don't even know when or how we concluded it was a demon, being tall and wearing an armor doesn't make you supernatural :p !

Don't forget that Lara is really short, I guess that's the effect that CD wanted to create with Lara's height when facing a tall scavenger.

Just look at this amazing artwork.

Now, those are the kind of demons I want to see in this game.

Idk, they look just very tall to me :p !

Anyway, we'll just have to wait a tad bit more to see!

Sounds like a fashion ad :vlol:

The demon was definitely a surprise for me! :eek:

I actually started to believe that there are only human enemies on the island and no supernatural spirits.

Underhoe

According to wikipedia...

Quote:

Depictions of oni vary widely but usually portray them as hideous, gigantic ogre-like creatures...They are humanoid for the most part....They are often depicted carrying iron clubs...These beings could also take on a variety of forms to deceive and often devour humans (<-this would explain the corpse piles in that scene)

Now I can actually believe it, and it makes me excited a lot. I hope he won't be the only 'demon', though.

Mikky

21-02-13 23:25

Sounds very interesting. Now I'm curious to know about the mythology behind them and why they're on the island. I mean, are they even on the same side as the scavengers? Very curious indeed.

Lemme not read speculation, etc. It's like looking for spoilers, imo.

Taken from GAME.co.uk:

But the inhabitants aren't the only surprises the island brings. Legend tells that Yamatai was once ruled by a queen with shamanistic powers and an army of samurai, and the strange symbols and 'Shrines' – side missions with mini tombs to raid and puzzles to solve - suggest that there may indeed be truth to this legend.

That's pretty obvious. :vlol: but the mystery is HOW and who interferes with her along the way. ;)

@italibabee I recommend you don't until we are 3 days away from the game release...
It will make you SO excited that you won't get the game off your mind at all!
