The Official "Tomb Raider Anniversary" Thread
Hey ya'll welcome to...
The Official "Tomb Raider Anniversary" Thread Now that the game is just 2 months away from being released I thought it was time to start hyping you guys about this impressive game.  Here are all the essential info and eye candy you guys should be looking at.Facts: TITLE : Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary GENRE: Action/Adventure PLATFORMS: PS2 and PC ESRB RATING: RP DEVELOPER: Crystal Dynamics PUBLISHER: Eidos RELEASE DATE: May 2007 Story Overview: Tomb Raider follows the adventures of Lara Croft after she is hired by a powerful syndicate to retrieve a mythical object called the Scion. After discovering that she has been used as a pawn in some larger scheme, Lara takes matters into her own hands deciding that she must uncover the mystery behind this ancient artefact. First off, screenies: (click to enlarge)        The 2 mind blowing Trailers can be found on youtube: TRAILER 01 - "Sometimes to understand your present you must go back to your past." TRAILER 02 - "I'm afraid you've been mislead, I only play for Sport." You all knew this was coming.  All info and media from www.tombraiderchronicles.com, and all image hosting is from www.imageshack.us

I'm really looking forward to this, but I'm still a bit confused. Is it a remake or a sequel or is it just inspired by the first Tomb Raider? It's hard to tell.
Also, I wish it would come out for a next gen console as well. The last one was excellent on the X360. |

From the creator himself, he said this is Peter Jackson's Remake of King Kong kind of way. It keeps the same story key points but completely revamps everything.
Tomb Raider 8 is coming to Xbox 360 & PS3, no other info is given on that yet.

I loved the first Tomb Raider. If they can get the control scheme properly, I will get it for the PSP. Otherwise, it is the PS2

Is this the new game?
I can't wait for this. I absolutely loved Tomb Raider: Legend. I've played it so much that I've taken a break, but it was by far one of the best 360 games I've played.

TR:L was a decent game and pretty easy to get most of the achievment points on the 360.
Disappointed that the anniversary game isn't on the 360.

Don't worry as said before Tomb Raider 8 has been announced and is in the works and in some interviews some guys have said its insane how real she looks in her second next gen outing.

Looking good. Tomb Raider 1 is still the best game in the franchise so it's going to be fun to go back to "that game."

Can't watch the interview 'cause I'm at work but is anything mentioned about the puzzles?
I hope they kept all of the orginal puzzles. In addition I hope they kept the original difficulty level. Those puzzles were amazing! I can't wait for this game...

There will be new everything, it won't be just fancy updated graphics. Toby Guard (the made that made lara and left after the first tomb raider game) is making sure that it stays true to the original while adding the new stuff he always wanted to but coulden't.
