Theory – the idea is that you’re either ogling Lara, or watching the enemies. And that’s fair enough, really. If you zoom out, there are only two stand-out items in the scene.

No modern 3D game engine renders background scenes with double (or more!) pixels. This is the PR department photoshopping characters onto an empty screenshot, but forgetting to scale it back down before release.

It isn’t mis-representing the game, in this case, but it is a strange way of going about things.

Underworld is the direct sequel to Legend, which is stupid that they left it so long between releases. Anniversary may have been good, but it’s thrown the pacing of this plot they were developing as everyone has forgot about Legend now.

I really blew it by not playing Legend or Anniversary; the demos were very impressive. I’m hoping I can find a way to fit Underworld in. The TR series in general has some good hooks and I think it’s great that the new dev found a way to not have the games look like complete and utter shite.

Underworld’s shiny new graphics engine looks like it could do Deus Ex 3 proud.

*crosses fingers*

That’s my main interest in this game really. Happy to see that it looks like we won’t have another overly cramped Invisible War kinda game at least.

Tomb Raider was the first game I ever truly loved.

*sniff*

That moment in the Lost Valley, still gives me tingles.

Anyone got that box with the first 6 games too? Bought it for 9 euro retail (around 13-14 dollar i think). Had a blast playing through them again (except angel of darkness, something about the weird controls put me off).

The hook of that Eurogamer preview made me spit my tea everywhere.

Boobs are hilarious.

Is this a proper sequel to Legend? It had better be, because that game, whilst rather good, ended rather abruptly when the story clearly had some way to run.

I also rather liked Zip and Alister despite having no reason to.

Never been any multiplayer.

Oh, sixteen laras bouncing around together…. OH YEAH
YEAH

Being racist at each other… accusing each other of wallhacking…

I’m so turned on right now

Good grief, those are indeed massive images.

And this might tempt me. Have never owned a TR game apart from the second one.

Theory – the idea is that you’re either ogling Lara, or watching the enemies. And that’s fair enough, really. If you zoom out, there are only two stand-out items in the scene. Crysis is all very beautiful, for instance, but when you’re being shot at it all becomes secondary!
