[QUOTE=just*raidin*tomb;6155064]What...how is that even relevant? o.0[/QUOTE]

I was explaining why I couldn't ask any questions. Branding is a powerful thing. The only reason I'm giving this game a chance is because of my affiliation with the past games.

Since virtually everything is changed, it's like falling in love all over again.

Oh...I see.

It is pretty exciting. Tomb Raider being brand new and all.

[QUOTE=just*raidin*tomb;6155085]Can someone ask this question for me?

[B]We've seen Lara solve physics based puzzles in an effort to escape. It seems like the puzzles are more about using the environment to your advantage and formulating a plan, but are there any traditional "tomb" based puzzles that we'll solve? Are there any pressure plate, boulder rolling, key finding, etc... puzzles similar to what we've seen in past Tomb Raider games or has the "puzzle formula" [I]completely[/I] changed?[/B][/QUOTE]

Done.

[B]@motoleo:[/B] Well, you're really stating the obvious here. Ofcourse hardcore TR fans will be interested in this because of the associating with the Tomb Raider franchise, but everyone else will be buying it solely on trailers/gameplay they see depending on how good it is.

[QUOTE=Lukass;6155093]Done.[/QUOTE]

:hug: thanks.

I view this game as a [i]debut[/i] like the first one. I don't know how the puzzles are going to be, what kind of exploration their is...

[b]@just*raidin*tomb[/b]

I asked. I'm sure it's been said there won't be any traps etc though. All the puzzles will make sense, if that makes sense :p They will be based on the environment, so there won't be any ancient puzzles, traps...just everything we've had in the past games. We'll see...

[QUOTE=motoleo;6155037]Why wasn't the name, "Lara Croft" introduced in Turning Point? For someone who had never heard of LC, how would they know who she was?[/QUOTE]

We don't need to know her name at this point. This is a young woman on a voyage which goes horribly wrong. We know that she ends up on a beach somewhere and that there are lots of wrecks there. We know that she is discovering herself, that this is all new to her. The trailer is supposed to entice us to the game enough to find out who she is - IE: to take a look at more media etc.

I know they've mentioned that but see my goal is to elude from what I actually want to know which is "Where iz da tombs bro?" :pi:

But honestly I hope and think there will be at least [I]some[/I] traditional puzzles.

[QUOTE=Lukass;6154977]A little extraction for you :hug:

[b]why actually call it "tomb raider" and not ad "the beginning" or " beginning of an era" or anything like this?
after all, we do have a "tomb raider".[/b]


[b]Where's her quiver/transport bag?[/b]


[b]We haven't heard too much about Lara's family background in this new timeline. Are Lara's parents dead, as in past versions, or still alive when she gets back from her survival experience? If still alive how does that impact the course of Lara's life, since their deaths were such a critical motivating force in shaping Lara in her previous biography.[/b]


[b]What elements of past Lara incarnations do you still hope to bring out in this Lara?[/b][/QUOTE]

Wow the first 2 are utter crap and the last one was discussed before. At least the 3rd one asks a good question. Why not put a Q/A thread here. I feel this forum is a lot more active than the dead Eidos one.

They want to [I]grow[/I] the Eidos forums or something.

Wait, are you asking then if there are tombs? D:

I can give you an answer...

[quote]One of the most important aspects for us when we started working on this game was to set up the island as a character. In order for us to accomplish this, you can’t just have a one-dimensional character; you have to have a multifaceted character. Therefore, you’re going to come across situations on the island where, [b]yes, you’ll be in dark, dank tombs.[/b] But you’ve also seen the ships in the bright bay. Imagine traversing your way down to them. There will be places on the island that blow your mind. Beautiful vistas and more.”[/quote]

Well no...I just I don't know. It's the only decent question I could think of asking okay?

I don't understand that neither. But I'm dead sure this forums will never become official.

I'm sorry but haven't we already seen traps? I mean the demo is essentially one big trap.

They need to expand on food. All we heard is food and water will be essential but not enough to make it a simulation game. What kinds of food can we expect to find on the island besides canned food? How often are we going to have to eat?

Yes, there will be traps, but not ancient ones like in the past games. There won't be thousand years old traps etc. It's been said and I dun remember where :/ The environment will create traps if that makes sense.

^That makes perfect sense to me, tbh.

@NRO: :vlol:

Before I say this...forget about other games that have done this.

But I think maybe we'll gather water from rivers or some other clean sources by gathering it in some wort of container and we'll somehow carry food that we might kill or collect some other food like berries and essentially heal ourselves at base camps maybe? Gosh I have no idea. :/

It's weird and vague.

I'm going to ask about it in the Q/A thread. Its going to be looked over again but its worth a try :pi:

We've discussed that idea before. I kinda like it, but I feel it could end up being annoying like how you needed some sort of medication thing in Dead Rising 2 for the daughter, the thing was that you had to do it soo much, it ended up becoming a chore instead of a useful feature.

:vlol: @ canned food. God knows how long it's been there and I can't even imagine to eat 20 years old sausages or beans. I dunno how such food would help. It would probably poison her, if not kill straight away. Canned food doesn't make sense. But yeah, people who've played the game said, there is canned food, so yeah...it's a game, isn't it? :p

Maybe she had food on the ship they came with?

Canned foods actually keep for a realllly long time.

Karl said it's not about picking up berries.

I personally believe that the small Buddha's statues are "drinking" points. You can see the small Buddha holds a little bowl in his hands, I think there's a water in it.

That actually makes sense. Good observation.

I like this. Maybe Lara can carry the container of water around with her and we can use it like the old medpacks? But with food, we need the camp sites to store the food and only carry a few things, again taken like a medpack. I think there's limits to how much we can carry. Lukass is right about berries though. It's hard for me to imagine how the food works as I've never played a game where food is important.

however it's done it better be good. I don't want to be halfway across the island and then im notified Lara is starving and have track my may back to the HUB. I would rather let the bitch die :p

How we will know she's starving? There seem to be no health metres or anything. And I hope there's no I feel stronger now. :/

"I feel Hungry now"

:vlol:

If it's anything like Dead Rising 2's Zombrex, then I'm not in favour of it. It was such an annoying system.

[QUOTE=just*raidin*tomb;6155179]Lol that's kind of weird, but I dunno.[/QUOTE]

that actually makes a lot of sense. It'd hold rainwater which is drinkable. Well I'd rather drink that than some water from a random river.

I didn't play it. Could you explain why it was annoying?

If that is the case I hope the statues are scattered throughout the island. Not coming across them every 5 minutes.

Hahahahaha!! :vlol: :tmb:

What...? What is this place?

Oh, that was loud.
