Tomb Raider Underworld

Oh we are getting spoiled this week! Beneath The Surface Nothing much new to look at in the trailer, but some new locations are shown and there's some new footage in there with more detail. Enjoy! MsC

Eidos has secured the domain name Tomb Raider Underworld. Story from Trademark Tomb Raider Underworld On November 21, 2007, video game developer Eidos Interactive filed to protect the trademark Tomb Raider Underworld in relation to, what else…a video game. Mork suspects that this might be the name of Tomb Raider 8, which is currently in development at Crystal Dynamics. The storyline is rumored to be based around the Mayan Calendar. During five nameless and dangerous days at the end of the calendar called Wayeb’, portals between the mortal realm and the Underworld dissolve, allowing ill-intending deities to causing disaster and mayhem. Sounds like an exciting pre…

here Looks pretty good I like that you can just swim Lara around without having to constantly look for pockets of air in order to avoid drowning. Although I'm sure they'll be nasty and add one of those bits in somewhere... The giant squid looks pretty impressive too, and you get a look at one of the new "adrenaline moments" that have replaced the interactive cut-scenes.

on play.com on the coming soon bit it said TR underworld will be relesed on 31/10/08

Okay, I just had to say something because I feel like maybe I'm the only one bothered by them. I've looked at all the screenshots from underworld and the length from her knees to her ankles is ridiculous. This is something that I've noticed in TRL and TRA. Her calves and boots always look HUGE! I mean the length form her knees to her ankles are noticeably longer the length of her thighs and they should be relatively the same. Again, maybe it's just me, but the proportions look off. Don't get me wrong, she looks AWESOME, its just one of those things that I notice. Maybe they did it to even out her boobs?

Eidos have not confirmed the logo to be official; however, it is a part of the official Tomb Raider: Underworld site http://www.tombraider.com/images/underworld_logo.jpg I quite like the change. It's not 'in your face' unlike previous games. For instance Legend had the enormous letters with all these effects. It was slapped in your face really. Now this one you can sit back and marvel at. I would be quite interested to see what other title designs Eidos have. As I know they have quite a selection to choose from. Nevertheless, I can't say I would be upset to see this as the logo.

If you go here: www.tombraider.com Either continent is fine. I don't know if it's just me being picky, but I've realised that none of the concept arts of Lara's face that I've seen in Underworld are consistent, which has got me thinking. Firstly, check out her face in the 'Podcast' section of the main page--it looks really young. Then click on news and she looks quite...I dunno, older. Finally, if you click on media you'll see she looks like normal Lara. So, I'm beginning to wonder if we're gonna play flashbacks or see flashbacks/flashforwards of Lara's previous/future adventures or whatever like we did in Tomb Raider: Legend, as they've already stated that some …

Who thinks we should have background music during the levels in TRU I say NO. For me No music, only play music if it's an intense gun fight or boss or something like a cutscene... what you guys think????

Will the new TR be on PS3 or on the PS2?

I found a new article it can be found here some of the new stuff is explaining the spherical Harmonics, and lara's new moves (there are 1700 of em ) take a look

It's always exciting to see screenshots from Tomb Raider: Underworld appear in magazines, and then online, but it's frustrating, too. In the weeks or months between providing the screenshots and seeing them in print, the game has usually improved dramatically. This is true for demos as well, and I've even been telling previewers that what we have upstairs already looks better than the demo we're showing. Now that we're in a position to post things ourselves in real time, I thought I would prove what I've been saying all along. I got the idea this week when I stopped by to talk to Pat Sirk, our Art Director, and on his screen happened to be the same area of Mexico we …

Just wanted to share these scans from my copy of EB Games/GameStop's GameInformer magazine that I got today:

Do you want swearing in this game? like in Legend when Zip would say "yeah lara, fly over those ba$*ards" I didn't mind I thought it made it seem a bit more real + this game is going to be a 12 or 16 age rating. I read somewhere else that SCI is going to make this game and they use alot of swearing in their games or something, but its not really up to them anyway, is it?

in one of the articals i read on the internet it said natla (TR1,TRA)might be in it i dont belive it what do you know

i was goin through release dates of movies and games and Tomb Raider Underworld was on it. now i heard that it wont be released in winter, but on this sheet it said it will be shipped 6-1-2008. by the way i pulled these lists of the computer at work

I recently was reading my local Sunday paper and the article was about the Aztec temples and holiday traditions that included Dia De Los Muertos The Day of the Dead. I found this interesting as the new game called Underworld starts apparently or in some part is in Mexico at the Aztec temples and Underworld is mentioned in regards to Aztec mythology, Mictecacihuatl is the Queen of Mictlan, the underworld, ruling over the afterlife with Mictlantecuhtli, another deity who is designated as her husband. So I was thinking that there might be a relationship regarding this day in the game to speak to the dead and possibly some past characters or family members for whateve…

Questions to Joel Boucquemont, concept artist: Hello, I am the token French Concept Artist here at Crystal Dynamics and I will try to answer as best as possible. And please excuse my French. 1. How long have you been working as a concept artist? I have been playing at concept artist since 95 but really it became a full time job 6 years ago. Prior to that the teams and projects were a lot smaller so an artist would multitask a lot more. 2. What route did you take to get into the games industry in terms of education and professional experience? First I went through the equivalent of a master of fine art in a serious French school that was visionary enough to ac…
