Looks like she's about ten feet off the ground to me, but the wonky camera and lack of foreground detail could be messing with my perception.

just*raidin*tomb 17-05-12 22:46

I see nothing that looks climbable and I haven't decided if that's a good or bad thing. :pi:

I think looks a lot taller than 10 feet though.

IMO its good.

I don't want ledges, I don't want swing poles.

I don't need every area to be full of platforming either.

Plus we're looking at a really small area.

As for her being in the tree, that confuses me. I think it might be a cinematic type of contextual moment.

Really? Looks like higher to me.

I think my excitement is starting to kick back in, thanks larafan25 :D. Bring on E3! :D

It's so close now! :D

larafan25 17-05-12 22:52

^I'm dying for E3! I can't wait to see this demo and I'm sure we'll see some of Lara's stealth moves if we do see her hunting. I hope she's in some really tall grass and bushes.

Well we have to imagine where the bottom of the tree lands, and look at the ground and remember there is a river there, so the tree is probably on the other side of the river...

Plus the angle makes it seem like the tree goes much further down.

I just hope that CD will be able to deliver :o. This game seems like it would prove to be quite a task for a team as small as CD.

I still think it's a cutscene personally. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

just*raidin*tomb 17-05-12 22:54

I would think so too but the size of the arrows throws me off. They look too large for it to be really high up.

Luis Augusto 17-05-12 22:54

I want to see her die. :pi:

Are they really a small team? I thought they were hiring a lot of people.

I'm not really sure I want to be able to climb trees, given my new aversion to ledges and poles. So I'd be relieved if it was a cutscene.

Exactly my thoughts. I don't see a team as Crystal doing something too huge tbh.

But let's hope they'll do it. :D

They're small in comparison with other companies... Naughty Dog, Rockstar North, Ubisoft... But I think Rocksteady is a small developer too and they've done great games :D

Weemanply109 17-05-12 23:01

****. I missed out on all the fun conversation here. However, the tea is ready and I'm here for the future gossip.

I think the best months for the release date would be Feburary - April. I personally feel as if January game releases (Is there any?) get overshadowed.

I would imagine that the climbing should be similar to AC3, but I doubt CD have turned Lara into Jane of the Jungle. So I guess that the tree climb is just a quick time event of some sort.

Actually, looking at that gameplay it seems more possible should could be mounting onto tree branches like that.

I'm sure when she climbs with the axe it will look similar to Conner free climbing.

just*raidin*tomb 18-05-12 06:34

One thing I noticed in the demo is that Lara seems really over dramatic sometimes. Mostly just in her facial expressions. It's just annoying. I mean just look at her facial expression here. It's ridiculous...











































http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/a...Untitled-4.jpg I'm sorry. I'm just bored. ._.

scremanie 18-05-12 07:16

LMAO!

I thought she was rather dramatic when she was falling on the spike. :p

...are you serious?

Bomb Fighter 18-05-12 08:09

Remember when I posted that TR will be featured in the PlayStation mag - France? So I asked them on FB if they really have new infos and they replied:
[QUOTE]Yes, if there won't be any changes from the US. If you know, what I mean.../QUOTE]
They clearly points at the Play Mag UK fail few days ago. And as this one will be out after E3, I think it's safe to say that Crystal will alowed them to publish what they have for us.

Lukass 18-05-12 08:12

All the magazines will be out after E3 and all of them will contain new TR info. So ^this is kinda no news :p

Bomb Fighter 18-05-12 08:23

Yes, but some of them will only make E3 coverage not focused on TR. Probably there will be magazines with articles about stuff not shown at E3.

TippingWater 18-05-12 08:56

:) Double Post :o.

I guess we have the delay to blame for this :p.

Lukass 18-05-12 09:01

I hate how the hype and excitement crumbled here when they announced the delay :/ I feel like we're not excited about E3 enough. I feel like everything just went terribly wrong :/

There was hype here before the announcement of the delay? ._.

There was none really, you're right, but people seemed to be more excited about E3. Now it's sort of...gone. :/

Well they haven't shown anything exciting yet imo. They really should step up their game and build some pre-E3 hype :).

Don't worry... the E3 demonstration will speak for itself.

In before 1001.

She was all like "Oh, oh my..... oh god.... ohhhh........".
She should have been like "AHHHHHH!! AAAHHHHHH!! ARGGGGHHH!! ****! ****!!".

Just sayin'.

NRO. 18-05-12 09:41

She should have bled out the second she pulled the thing out.

IMO more realistic scenario would have been, that she left it in, then would've found a trustworthy native to help her heal up. CD wants realism, what we saw in the gameplay wasn't. Besides, I doubt that the water she was in was clean. The wound would've got extremely infected. Plus, all the dust and dirt when she's climbing up would've made it even worse. Not to mention that the stick went trough her completely.

Also, getting stabbed hurts like hell. She would've screamed her little lungs out several times before she could even move properly.

Damnit 1001.

Nora, it's still a game, you have to remember :p

If you're under stress you barely feel any pain. Try to put yourself in her situation. Of course it hurts and we can hear her moaning, but there were people who had both legs broken, who carried their guts in their hands and they were able to go, to survive and to find a help. In real life there were far worse injuries than Lara's and the people survived it. Adrenalin, fear, stress and crave to survive terrible things and situations - all that push enormous pain back. The brain is focused on surviving not the pain.

You are completely right! :tmb: By the way what do you mean by 1001?

Hairhelmet12 18-05-12 09:49

^Page number.

Fear and adrenaline, you'd be amazed at what someone could do...

No it isn't. You may not feel it, but your body still takes damage and deteriorates, slowly but surely. Adrenaline will not make the infection any better.

This is coming from a person who crashed into a wall while biking 25kmh. I didn't feel the pain, but once I arrived at the hospital they told me if I had come a minute later I would've bled out from the inside. Also, don't ask me how you crash into a wall at that speed. ADHD is a bitch.
