I am starting to get excited about this new entry in the series. Anniversary was a good remake, and Legend was also a very good game but too easy though.
Since Toby Gard returned to the main developement team the series have seen a nice boost IMO.

LARA CROFT SCORES MOVEMENT UPGRADE
Copyright 2008 www.tombraiderchronicles.com

[ January 2nd 2008 ]

Manoeuvrability remains a key factor for Lara Croft in Tomb Raider Underworld, and players can expect a considerable upgrade in the way Lara moves within her environment. One such feature is the move away from grid-based ledge manipulation in favour of a more non-linear method of scaling walls and shimmying around corners.

Our feisty heroine can now slide around corners, rather than using the more traditional right angle system present in earlier games. While Crystal Dynamics are keen to point out that Lara's immersive world isn't free-roaming, a greater arsenal of moves adds a more non-linear veneer to the adventure.

It's not just Lara Croft who scores an update. Those dastardly arachnids scurrying after Lara Croft in the Mexico segment of the game are also more nimble, now sporting the ability to both scuttle along the floor and flick their black-legged carcases onto poles and walls in order to hinder a retreating Lara Croft. They bite too, hard, and Lara Croft must keep her wits about her if she wants to unlock the secrets of the Underworld in one piece.

Much has already been written on the immersive and awe-inspiring environments which will now become Lara's chief adversary. Just how visually stunning those environments are almost defies belief. A real-world weather system complete with blinding rain and lashing winds brings to life the foliage around Lara Croft.

As thunderbolt and lightning - very very frightening - illuminates the cloud-strewn skies, the vegetation below mimics the scene, creating for a split moment a landscape snapped by an x-ray machine. All the while, as the thunder and lightning resonate through Lara's world, the cackle and clarity of electrically-charged atmospheric effects sing wistfully around the player's ears.

It's this attention to minute detail that puts the player right next to Lara in a way never experienced before. Much more information on Tomb Raider Underworld as we publish our exclusive preview in the coming days.

Sounds good that the vegatation moves with the wind, I thought Uncharted failed in this aspect, some real physics calculations would be nice, and make things look a whole lot nicer.

Hmmmm but is this a PC screen or a 360/PS3 screen, looks too good to be a console model if you ask me.

Plus there are no jaggies at all, so probably a bullshot.

It doesn't even need to look THAT good to look that good. Hairy nipples people! (Although in regards to Lara Croft that's a bit more tantalizing)

My point is we'll be looking at a model about a 10th of that size, from BEHIND, the entire game. What matters is that it looks good while you're doing that, and the other shots basically answer "yes!" to that AND give you a foot massage.

Well yea until we get a cutscene, then you zoom in on that hairy nipple, there is noticable polygonal edge on the far shoulder, I think this is doable on a PC, hard to say on the 360, like i said though no jaggies is a sign of a bullshot.

That's certainly true.. but then again, look at Uncharted.

Then again AGAIN, they're made by Naughty Dog of insane workoholic fame so you never really know.

All I can say for sure is that whether it looks exactly like that or not, I'm sure it'll look close enough to that to matter, so to speak.

Really, shadows are usually the real party poopers. I wish someone would just pull a grenade out of their pants and threaten to throw them at companies that don't pay more attention to how self shadows look up close. The flickering and "steps" effect is soooo distracting and lets graphics of ANY caliber down.

ND seem to have had them in mind with Uncharted because for the most part the cutscenes look very clean, even when there are self shadows on shoulders and stuff.
