I agree with you 100%. I thought maybe I could download it on my brother's xbox360 but he doesn't own Tomb Raider Underworld This is so unfair of eidos to do this. I am deeply upset

I was also a little disappointed by underworld. Not so much the gameplay or graphics. I can see why the PS2 owners would be disappointed by the graphics, I've seen youtube vids and they're insultingly awful, makes me glad I specifically bought the PS3 to play underworld. I've just been really disappointed with the lack of special rewards for collecting all the treasures and relics. All you get is concept art stuff. Don't get me wrong I love all that stuff I was just expecting something a little more rewarding. There isn't any special downloadable content either. I didn't like not having the option to view cutscenes, no extra outfits or any cheats... The xbox however, got special downloadable content

Tomb raider legend for free? I have that already. That's old news, However, If it was TRU: Beneath the ashes or Lara's Shadow on the other hand... Thanks for sharing though

I heard Microsoft approached Eidos for the exclusive rights for special downloadable content on xbox360 live. Being a PS3 owner I didn't mind too much about not being able to download additional outfits like the xbox360. But now they have 2 NEW EXPANSION PACKS! Giving Eidos' financial struggle, I can see why they would take such a deal with Microsoft. Although, I agree with you Tom, it just doesn't make much sense having it on one format alone. Especially if you have to pay to play. I really hope to God they will release it on all other major platforms. I'll be truly heart broken if they don't It just doesn't seem fair to neglect all the other fans like that by excluding us.

I'd happily pay to play beneath the ashes if or when they decide to release it for the ps3.

The possibility of Lara being possessed has been mentioned a few times and I have a theory: I've been thinking, this may sound insignificant but, Lara has this wrist band on her right wrist, right? This is something new and like I say probably nothing but a new accessory with absolutely no use what so ever. However, I also noticed other little things, like the way Lara carries her big weapons on her back in the opposite direction and uses her left hand to use her spear gun when she normally uses her right hand to fire her big guns. (All right, I know! she's probably just ambidexstrous , She is an amazingly multi talented lady.) My point being is that this is a very, very subtle change in her mannerism which suggests she could well be possessed...So, this wrist band could perhaps be a little hint almost. Any thoughts on this theory of mine? Or am I just reading into the minutest little details way too much,lol Ah, I love sharing our rants together..It's the beautiful sign of a new TR game on the horizon, hehe...

Oh my, how amazing does this look!? Thanks a billion for sharing However, as beautiful as this looks now. I get the feeling this still needs a lot of work still. Some of Lara's movements look jerky and incomplete...I realise this is only a demo and probably doesn't fully represent the finished product. It still needs tweaking a bit in my opinion. Another thing that bothers me is the HUD display in the top left corner of the screen. I can't figure out what it's all about and how it works...Is that the new health meter?? I'm loving the blood already though Oh, and the wall jumping moving. yeah! and I like how she can carry two SMGs on her back as well I'm not too sure about the duel aiming system. It's as if Lara doesn't know where to shoot, but to be fair I'd probably behave the same way with multiple enemies coming at me at once But all this is based solely on my first impressions. The majority is simply breath takingly stunning. Just one question, when do we mere mortals have the chance to get our grubby mits on the demo???

I can see how that would become repetitive but what if they just sort of instantly appear when she uses a health pack. Like when that glow washes over Lara her wounds have bandages over them. I know it isn't exactly realism but having a glow of light emanating from her body isn't either And she really ought sigh like she used to instead of that weird sound...Heh Oh yes, another thing...Currently,when you reset the game or load from your last checkpoint you're given full health and an extra medipack if you're out of them. I must admit I find this really helpful...But on the other hand, I do rely on it too much because I tend to not use medipacks reach a new checkpoint and let Lara die. Then, I'm at that new checkpoint with all my medipacks and full health. Where's the challenge in that? So, they should probably put an end to that, On the hard difficulty setting at least.

I love this idea. I've often thought they should include this in TR games. An obvious solution for those long jumps could be to find an alternative route. It would be an interesting take on how Lara's physical condition affacts the progression of the level. Having Lara show fatigue/ injury is a clever idea I like the sound of that. I also think Lara should display cuts and grazes as her condition gets worse. Another great idea would be if Lara used a medipack to treat her condition she would dress her injuries with bandages. They'll be on her person in the cinematics and would eventually fall off as she progresses through the game. What do you think? I'd also like it if Lara was to take a fall from a high ledge, she'd limp for a short period of time until she regained strength. This can be avoided or lessen her injury if you quickly press the roll button before she hit the ground to lessen her impact and perform a kind of "Break fall" move. I always make Lara do this when I play Legend and Anniversary...It's a sort of free-running move to keep your "flow" without falls slowing your speed, but if they were to apply better animation to it, like a shoulder roll...It would be ace! And a very valueble move for the time trials...

This is terrible news I hope SCi Entertainment will be able to resolve their financial problem. They can't cancel or abandon TR:Underworld or the tomb raider franchise. It's too valuble. That itself would be financially suicidal. I don't know much about how these things work. But couldn't Crystal Dynamics find a new publisher. It would be sad not seeing the Eidos signature on the cover of a tomb raider game but it would be even more disheartening not seeing a tomb raider game at all.

OMG!!! I realise I'm a tad late in discovering these Re\visioned: Tomb Raider animations...(How can this be!) But anyway, my word! Aren't they amazing?!. I absolutely love the animations and the different artists interpretations of Lara Croft. I think the first three episodes are my favourite "Keys to the Kingdom". I've had that particular Lara as my avatar not realising it was from an animated series! lol I thought the cutesie disney-like ones were pretty funny, "Pre-teen raider" and "Revenge of the Aztec mummy". I would really like to own all ten episodes on dvd. Are they for sale? or are they just a one-off sort of thing...

I voted yes... But not just for TR. When the PS3 first came out I wasn't all that interested in getting one because there was no titles I was interested in. But now that I know TR is being released on PS3 and now there's a few good titles out there like Uncharted: Drake's fortune, Assassins Creed, Heavenly sword... Oh,and Resident Evil 5 later in the year. I really wouldn't mind getting one now. Only they're very expensive and then I'd have to get a HD telly...It's gonna be severely painful for my wallet I agree with Ms.Croft I guess in the long run it would be a good investment.

I wouldn't say old. Wiser perhaps. She has a darker look this time because something tragic happened to her. As if losing both her parents wasn't tragic enough Apparently there's going to be huge underwater sections in underworld. A swimsuit oufit should be likely. We can only hope.

Like I stated in my last post they WILL be releasing it on PS2! As well as PC, PS3, XBOX 360, NDS and Wii... It says so here Here The only bummer being we'll have a whole year to wait I agree with Ms.Croft pretty soon everyone will have next gen consoles. So it's probably worth Saving for one imo...

I think Lara should wear more outfits that go with her environment, for example if she's in a desert she should wear a desert scarf to protect her from the elements. Also she would fit in with the locals...Y'know clothing that would make her seem inconspicuous...I like the jeans and t-shirt idea. Something like the outfit from AoD if she's in a civilian populated location. I liked the biker outfit from cradle of life because it had a chinese theme with her being in China. So yeah, Outfits that help her blend in. I'm looking forward to seeing more outfits from Underworld.

So It's been officially announced by Eidos. But they're moving the release date from June to the christmas seaon! Good news is they're realeasing it it on all 6 platforms..including PS2. But I think I'll get it on PS3 mainly for the better graphics. So I'll have an entire year to save up for one.

I really do like the new outfit. It's quite simple and casual. However, I'm not too fond of her new boots they're way too high much higher than her usual boots...these ones are knee high. It just doesn't seem very practical to me. Also, I'd like to know what that wrist band is she wears. Is it a watch or some kind of gadget??? Another thing I've noticed is that her holsters are different too. And she also looks a lot like Angelina Jolie..her lips look rather pouty...It's really cool, I think I like that, lol

I wonder how much longer we'll have to wait for the official website and trailers. We need something real soon. 'cos this wait for the game is unbearable...I need a fix of Underworld info!

With the new TR being on next-gen consoles. I would just love one thing... The option to create custom outfits! ...It has to be possible

Does one fancy a jolly good chit-chat? Nobody is ever in LCO chat every time I visit... I'm in there right now

Wow, Slamboy. These are amazing! I really like them both but I think I'll go for the one without the flames. My current sig is way way too old. I desperately needed a new one. you've done a great job! Thank you very much...

This is so cool! She's able to shoot two enemies at once...And the weather affects her abilities, like her slipping while climbing on wet rocks. I'm especially really excited about the secondary movements, I think that's something to do with her reacting to her surroundings all by herself...Like brushing away foliage...And no doubt other things like shaking herself of while walking away from a pool of water, dusting off dirt. Little things like that. Ah, wow...I'm so so elated there's all this realism...

Thanks Slamboy, Tomorrow would be splendid! Infact, it's much sooner than I expected. Yay, I'm getting so exciting. thanks again.

Hey, I was just wondering if some one could lend the services of their creative skills to make me a new sig. I would love something with that Drake chap from Uncharted: Drake's fortune with Lara Croft particularly one of the new images from TR: Underworld. I know it's a bit specific but I'm totally useless with pictures and stuff. I don't have a clue how to do it myself. I would be ever so grateful...Oh yeah, I would like it to include the words "Controlled Chaos". Muchas gracias.

Hello lovely people of LCO , I've been away for some while. I used to be known as Deryk but changed my screen name to controlled chaos. I'm back and hopefully here to stay for a long time Ah, I heart LCO!
