NEW TOMB RAIDER GAME E3 SERIES

Crystal promise bigger enviroments and also promise to bring TOMBS BACK TO TOMB RAIDER!!!Ĭamilla also confirmed to have motion captured and voice acted the trailer. Globe trotting from the old Tomb Raider returns. Once again, Crystal Dynamics is proud to have the award-winning author Rhianna Pratchett as a key member of the writing team, helping craft a story that delves into Lara’s inner turmoil and motivations in this critical second act of her journey. Camilla will take character performance to new heights as Lara pushes herself beyond human limits and is confronted with what it means to become a hero.

Rise of the Tomb Raider builds upon the formula that made Tomb Raider a success, and features the return of Camilla Luddington as Lara Croft. “Our digital actors will rival CG quality, and after hearing the cry from our fans loud and clear, we will put the tombs back into Tomb Raider, all in our gritty Survival-Action style.” Multiple locations around the world will be filled with exploration spaces that are some of the most beautifully hostile places on earth and over three times larger than we could achieve before,” said Darrell Gallagher, Head of Product Development and Western Studios at Square Enix. “With the power of the new generation, and our proprietary Foundation engine, our high octane action moments will be even more epic. In the next chapter of her journey, Lara must use her survival skills and wits, learn to trust new friends, and ultimately accept her destiny as the Tomb Raider. In her first adventure, Lara Croft® was forged into a true survivor, but she glimpsed a deeper, secret world. The game will redefine survival action in Holiday 2015. REDWOOD CITY, CA (June 9, 2014) – Crystal Dynamics, a Square Enix studio, today announced its latest title in the critically acclaimed and award-winning Tomb Raider® series, Rise of the Tomb Raider ®. Plus, it’s Lara Croft and I don’t need a second invitation to watch her in action.I've watched it over 6 times. Hopefully that representation turns out to be honest. Tomb Raider seemingly represents a franchise (and a studio and publisher) that has finally come to terms with the fact that it has become stale, its competitors have overtaken it and its fans are jaded with what looked like a complete lack of vision from the publishers/developers involved. Whether it’s interesting for the right or wrong reason remains to be seen.

Supposedly the game runs on a tweaked version of the that used in Tomb Raider: Underworld so seeing the game being played live will be very interesting indeed. The screenshots (see game tab below) depict a darker, more menacing, more brutal world than those of recent Tomb Raider titles – relying on restricted lighting levels, claustrophobic settings and imposing weather to create a foreboding atmosphere. Crystal Dynamics have spoken about how the goal of the game is based around keeping Lara alive in this hostile environment rather than fancy side quests involving snow mobiles and Croft Manor this is a game about defending yourself and making sure you survive to witness another day.

All of that came up through the character design.” Lara’s story for this outing is set-up up as an exploration into her origins, our herione’s first ever expedition which sees her alone on an unknown Japanese island after suffering the shipwreck of the HMS Endurance.

Speaking to Edge magazine, art director Brian Horton explains the direction behind the change: “It was daunting in a lot of ways, because you have to retain some of the iconic nature, but also bring her forward and make her relevant for the modern gamer… We knew we wanted to bring Lara to a more believeable space, not just in terms of wardrobe but in terms of physicality… We also looked at who she is, so her curiosity, her willingness to go into the unknown. Croft is something that the dev team are not taking lightly.

If I’m being mean I could say that she looks rather like the female incarnation of Uncharted’s Nathan Drake (a series that owes a lot to Lara’s original adventures) but, hey, I’m not that mean. She’s younger, grittier and more fragile. One look at the ‘new’ Lara Croft and it’s clear that things are very different from what has come before. And yet, with the new Tomb Raider game, that’s exactly what Crystal Dynamics are trying to do. Reimagining an iconic videogame character is no easy task, reimagining a character that for many marked the dawning of a new era for the medium is surely doubly difficult.
