We managed to finally film some more Tomb Raider: Underworld right before going back home on Friday afternoon, and this video shows the beginning of the level, until right before the point where a bug wouldn't let us go any further.

I think Lara's movements are looking very fluid, and the graphics are very good.

Looks good, a few problems and abnormalities...Like where she swims and then misses some animation frames and ends up standing on the rock. But I loved the last two Tombraiders and I don't think this is gonna dissapoint. A def buy for me.

legend was fun, and this is shaping up to be a fine successor.

It looks really good, LOL at when she gets out of the water, I'm guessing they haven't put those animations in yet.

But im glad the swimming is more fluid now.

It lacks little details like Uncharted, where you get out of the water and your clothing is actually wet.

Details like that really add to the experience, no matter how small!

Lara coming out the water, really weird... but I hope they fix those anormalities. I hope to see some splashes when Lara swim on the surface... But well, graphics look very nice and animations in general, are good.

Maybe they have yet to add them, come on even TR legends had that. ;)

The developers have said that Lara will become dirty after a while and when she goes in water the dirt will be washed off and she will also look wet.

Yeah.. Legend did that too. My guess, it's just not done yet.

The game is running on an enitirely new engine, it's pretty clear some parts of it just aren't done yet, but it's looking good.

Which adds to the charm. If it handled like the old PSX TR, then that would be something to worry about. As it stands, the controls look very tight and responsive. I'm liking the look of this game. Atmosphere is the most important aspect of games like these, and this looks like it's hitting the right tone.

Looks 'o.k.' but no splashing in the water when swimming. Weird animation getting out the water and clipping when turning around on the rocks. Hope it's got a while in development yet.

I agree I vote for wet tight body hugging clothes on Lara when she gets out of the water

Is there really no HUD? If so, that's awesome.

Wow. This may actually be my first Tomb Raider game since the first. The exploring gameplay looks like a lot of fun, more fun than the combat at least.

Though, it looks like the camera could be irksome, but that may be because the video is taken off-screen, and you can't see the whole field of view.

I'm really hoping for a demo.

No, it still uses the Legends Engine. I enjoyed playing Uncharted but im a Tomb Raider Fanboy since the beginning. Hopefully they realese a PS3 Deluxe Edition with Tomb Raider Legens and Anniversairy.
