Good find, glad they told us about when that happens. But im confused

We saw lara blow the mansion up then she's getting out... How.

And I have a slightly longer more detailed source

The puzzles very much take centre stage in Tomb Raider Underworld, to such an extent that developer Crystal Dynamics has completely abandoned boss-battles

Yessssssssssss!!!

Does anyone know when the demo will come out ????

:woho: Ditto!! battles are good but when they stop you from enjoying the rest of the game or depend too much on one single move, it's very annoying! I'm sure the tailoring will come in handy when fighting enemies anyway!

As for the Manor, well... i don't think it says that much.

My theory:

All we knew is that lara explodes her house, standing outside, and then walks away

!

Now they say we have to escape from the manor! ("Once you've escaped from Croft Manor"). So, maybe the theory that the "lara" exploding the Manor isn't really OUR Lara Croft is right and what we really have to do is rescue her. From there, she probably chases the person impersonating her and that tried to kill her in the first place!

Makes sense to me anyway!!

seems a little far-fetched to me though.

We know the mansion is on fire when Zip shoots too. And there is no fire until she blows it up cause all the fire is gone cause that video is played in reverse, but when you re-reverse it (

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=OXxLkNxwUAY) you can see a burst of random fire from the doorway

im not going to work it out i want the surprise

Ok, now I know where it is, I'm more in support of Shrensh's theory in another thread...

I think they may do a "7 days earlier", or whatever, after we play the tutorial so that we can see events up until the burning of Croft Manor...what worries me, however, is that we may not even get to go into Croft Manor before we start the adventure if it's not a flash-back/forward...I love going into Croft Manor before I start the story.

Thats a very rational explanation i like it, Maybe you can play in the flashback/forward.

Maybe you see her read a letter (just thinking of anniversary) and then you play right at the end Zip says something about something he's found and asks lara for a few days to research then we start with all the drama

Yeah I read about Croft Manor being on fire and we have to get Lara out of the rubble. But I was at Gamestop today and looked at the upcoming releases for PS2 and TR: Underworld isn't coming out until December 8....can someone make sure that this is right, I thought we'd be getting this game in November just a few days after its in the UK.

Well, on Gamestop's website all versions of the game go on sale on 18 November except the PS2 version, which goes on sale on 8 December.

http://www.gamestop.com/browse/search.aspx...er%20underworld

Which is very strange, because according to tombraider.com the the PS2 version is supposed to be going on sale at the same time as the other versions (18 November in the US and 21 November in Europe).

On play.com all versions, including the PS2 one, are due for release on 21 November.

http://www.play.com/Search.aspx?searchtype....x=0&go.y=0

EDIT: The PS2 version has a 2 December release date on Amazon.com but a 21 November release date on Amazon.co.uk at the moment. Seems like the PS2 version might be slightly delayed in North America.

Not to be the black sheep but i love boss battles.

LOL!

I love THE extra headaches.

I guess i love the difficulty... I'm such a tomb raider guy... LOL

LOL!!!

Winston was probably left there again. lol

He actually has health problems because of it.

Remember Winston stood still in LEGEND in the manor and Zip said he was worried about him.

Maybe the FREON is in his system lol.

By the way, i wonder who takes the time to actually design the strategy guide.

LOL i love the pictures in stuff like that.

Edited September 25, 200818 yr by tombraiderguy is back

You can buy the strategy guide already but it wont be released till the day after the release of the game. But if its like any book some will be leaked

Well about the manor i think it goes like this:

IDK how to do that black thingy to cover it all so i am sorry (I did it for you - AngelR)

Well here it goes

Well since Natla is a god and Lara meets her in one level she could change her body into Lara and then

the real Lara is in the manor and does something idk when Natla blows the manor but the time rewinds

and in the croft manor level she must escape in a limited time i think !?

2nd December! I can cope with that - I know what Santa can bring me now!

December 2nd. So much suspence. Can't wait to check out the demo.

I don't want this to be true...mostly because I think it's a silly plotline in the TR universe. Personally, I think the teaser trailer isn't meant to be taken literally, and is more about metaphors, but if it does turn out to be true, I'm more in favour of this:

Lara goes backwards in time to fix a problem she may have created, therefore blowing up the manor, however, she did not realise her past self escaped, and the problem played out like it was meant to. She goes backwards in time via portals in the Underworld or something similar.

Like I said, I don't want there to be another Lara anyhow, impersonated or not, but if it is, I prefer that theory.

As for there being no bosses, I'm kinda disappointed with this as I like them, or at least there being one final boss, like in TR2, but it's not gonna effect me buying the game or not.
