N.R.

It should be possible for ingame Lara to sit down, for instance when a player gets in position, a cut scene could temporarily take over of Lara sitting and pulling the seat in. Then it goes back to the player who clicks the mouse on a computer (for PC) or press X for on and O for off (PS3) and uses the other computers (triangle to delete and square to start the program or print). The player should also frequently trip up cutscenes, such as kneeling at a laptop on the floor and using it like an AOD interactive. When outside, the player will see other FMVs interacting with other characters as well as objects. I assume the PS3 has an internal clock/calender/time zone indicator like the PS2. It would be difficult to synchronize the two, but a day to night indicator (ala Dead Or Alive Xtreme for X-Box) would be a good idea. There's a sign near the sundial saying "Courtyard open from 11 to 7." Get it, 11 - 2 - 7? I wanted CD to make that literal, and the gates would open then like a timed bank vault. In addition, Lara's father's Grandfather clock and Coo-Coo clock should also work.

There's something like that now. It's called The Sims (Hot Date and up). It worked for Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

http://tombraiderinc.com/ is the official portal of the Tomb Raider community (includes Crystal Dynamics newsletter).

It may (repeat MAY, nothing is engraved in stone) also be on Xbox 360. The high definition environments make it necessary to be on these consoles. Crystal Dynamics doesn't have the time to copy God of War.

As I said in my PM, that bit of media is a song not a video. The very same song sung by the very same person on the video. Like before, files were not posted on the forum itself. To play the video you must exit LCO.

I assumed it was deleted because it was in the wrong forum outside of a similar thread. Why don't you take a look in the LCO goodies section. Rhona Mitra's Hit Song "Getting Naked" I ask once again, could this be the case that Planet Croft doesn't want to give up its video? I'd like to think he did ask permission first.

I know, it sounded ridiculous to me too considering the source (Sony of America graphics designer and former janitor). 2020 - 2030 sounds more like the correct year, but there would be no launch titles with it (not backwards compatible), so the PS3 will stick around for awhile.

Tomb News, Tomb Raider Chronicles, and our own LCO News have all indicated that there WILL be another Tomb Raider movie whenever Angelina is ready (script already drafted). I suspect it will be a computer generated AJ that she can manipulate with her movements at great distances. It's suspected it will not take place in exotic locals (all England) in favor of more flashbacks. A clue is in Tomb Raider Legend with her friend Amanda. Expect it around 2010 (give or take).

Now that I have G4 ("Attack Of The Show" ComiCon and E3 specials), I won't need to watch some SpikeTV shows. G4 also has a TGS special (is that in November?). Wow this thread is from 2006! Still sexy as ever.

I forgot to respond to this. Nice going Tom, good to know Eidos is looking out for it's previous forum members. I was kinda hoping Marcus Trogen would be in there somewhere.

I hoped someone would start this. I couldn't find a way to duplicate it exactly, but on the blown up bridge, I missed the second jump and was off target. Lara's chest went through the boards, landing her motercycle on the other side. Another time she jumped under the bridge, landing on the ground nearby. In Croft Manor, I went into the gym and grappled that half moon thing to make it come down before I was supposed to. It worked anyway. Lara climbed on nothing, going right through the object.

That's what I thought when I first saw her in Unfinished Business (in intro), but then I realized she is supposed to look like that being a demon mutant posing as an Atlantian.

I'll look for the source, but what it said was a Sony worker (former janitor) predicted it would come out sooner than predicted, but he did say that even if he is wrong, Sony of America has been working on it in secret, and with the exception of the Cell technology, all of its hardware (the Internet part) will be American made, and maybe some of the software. Sony may be working with Project Epoc technology which parallels Sony's patent (method and apparatus for realistic motion and emotion scanning through video games and interactive imagery). Despite what the article says, you do not just think and the avatars move. It emulates your body movements without wires or attachments like Nintendo's controller, but you sympathize with the character, and decisions are made from your personality. A race car driver might suddenly slow down when you see his engine overheating, or you can decide to kill or not to kill upon seeing what the effects of it would be to the characters. It seems PS4 doesn't have a specified launch date, but Sony execs said it will be out sometime before 2060. PS3 however will get a facelift this winter, like the PS2 slim edition, but PS3 will still be bulky.

I feel obligated to say: If you are a hacker and want to try this, ask Crystal Dynamics for permission to hack their game and freely distribute it first. My idea includes cheats (hacks that must be done in the air). #1 The Fly Fishing Cheat This doesn't mean Lara goes fly fishing. She flies as she's fishing. She does a normal jump and grapple, but when she's vertical (not swinging) the grappler turns invisible and doesn't register as being there. You can now hold action and press run to watch her climb in mid air, or release the non existent grappler and use the grappler in any direction (doesn't have to be on a ring) to move forward as if she is pulling in something. Note: This is not the same as flying. She just hovers. #2 Swinging In Air This is just a normal pole swing on an invisible pole that can detach from the cliff and glide through the air. As long as Lara keeps swinging or holding on to nothing, she will not fall. Swing to move forward. Stop swinging to hover. Turn and swing to move back. The up arrow moves the bar up. The down arrow moves the bar down. Position the camera so Lara is in profile, and press the left or right arrows to tilt the bar in that direction. Lara will be in a Superman pose to fly through crawlspaces. #3 Neverending Balance Jump on a pillar so Lara is on 1 foot. Wait until she looses her balance before using the cheat. When she puts out her arms to keep balance, the pillar will vanish. Lara will start to violently squirm, like she's flapping her arms. This is when she takes off to the skies. Unfortunately, she can only go in 4 directions without proper navigation (arrow keys). This is done purposely though, to give the gamer a chance to fail. #4 Forward Jumping Flight (self explanatory) This one can only be used in all Peru levels on all skill levels, and Croft Manner in hard mode. I don't have the right specs, so I can't play a demo, but I'll settle for screenshots.

That doesn't look like any bottle I've seen before.
