Tomb Raider: Anniversary
 

I'm sure by now a lot of you will have heard that Tomb Raider is being remade in a sort of way. Tomb Raider Anniversary is a basic remake in the game, not an excat replica but it will feature the same plot and all the key moments of the original. The game uses the Legend engine which means Lara still has her autograb, and she will have more new abilities. The levels that have been confirmed are The Caves, City Of Vilcabamba and.... THE LOST VALLEY!!
Here are the facts which are known:

• From the Anniversary Trailer, it seems Keeley Hawes will be reprising her role from Tomb Raider: Legend as Lara Croft.
• Zip and Alistair will not return, so no headset.
• Lara has no PDA, PLS or Binoculars, but the grapple has returned in the form of a hook grapple. It is not magnetic.
• Lara will use her classic pistols (Browning 9MMs).
• Dual Uzis and the shotgun are confirmed to make a return.
• Enemies include Raptors, Bears, Wolves, Bats...
• No human enemies have been confirmed yet.
• The Lara model has been upgraded with more polygons and has inherited some new moves (one is said to be a pole hopping move where Lara can balance on narrow ledges.)
• The levels are bigger than they were in the original, as Lara now moves faster than before
• The T-Rex Will Make A Return!!!!! :D :D :D

Not convinced? Here's the trailer!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vxl6dt4eMhM

The game will be released on PS2, PSP and PC.

Hopefully this will be an amazing return for one of gamings most successful franchises and one of the worlds most famous faces, Lara Croft: The Tomb Raider!

Lara ... Shiver.. Talk about your major badass. Even BEFORE the sexy Mrs Pitt played her. Which, by the way, I heard, that once she looses baby fat they're making a new movie. Then again it could be just a rumor made to tease us.


um ... where were we ... oh yeah.. the remake. I want to be Lara Croft when I grow up. :D

I really enjoyed Legend, so we'll see how things go when it comes to this one. I think the got the platforming/exploration stuff right in Legend, but the combat was a bit lacking. While it was pretty cool for awhile, it wore a little thing, especially when you were fighting 5+ guys at once.

OH CRAP! I had turned the sound up for the Lara vid but forgot to turn it back down. So when I made the mistake of clicking on the 'Shiggy " in Peanut's sig, suddenly, not only did I have multiple jigging dudes on my screen, but, I swear my hair flew back from the unepected blast of music.

Note to self: don't do that agian.

I heard the psp version will be as fantastic as the pc and ps2 version.. I can't wait..

The original was good and still is teh best.. I never beaten the game but got very far and it was hard.

I might pick this up for PC, I'm kinda put off by the lack of a 360 version though and I don't see myself going back to the PS2 to play it.

I'm looking forward to complaining how hard St. Francis' Folly is and being really freaked out by Atlantis and it's...inhabitants :o

I wish this game was on XBox 360 or PS3. Oh well.... I will just buy the PS2 version.

Well, there's always hope. Legend eventually came out on Gamecube, a fact that I once only dreamed about, knowing it would never come to be. So keep your fingers crossed. :D

The box art has now been released and I have to say...I'm very impressed!!!
The Scion looks amazing and Lara looks better than ever!
Plus it's a 16, more death, more blood, no blackouts!?!?!?

thanks for the update.

I am still wondering if I shou;d preorder this.

BTW, anyone go back to the old ps1 tomb raider games and re-play them?

Oh god, no! I loved the first one back then but it's unplayable now. It aged horribly.

I recently played and completed the original to prepare myself for Anniversary and it's just as good as any other game in my opinion, it's about Gameplay and not Graphics for me. I am also planning to complete the entire series before the end of the year, So far in Tomb Raider II I'm in 40 Fathoms and in Tomb Raider III I'm in the High Security Compund (first destination after India).

Oh yeah, UPDATE!!!!!! NEW TRAILER!!!

I uploaded the second trailer onto Youtube a few days ago, it shows a LOT more gameplay and I have to say the game looks incredible both visually and gameplay!!

Tomb Raider Anniversay Trailer #2

wow! i got to get this.

too bad it's not coming to the xbox 360.

Yeah, that means there's no way in hell I'll ever play this game. What a horrible oversight.

you got a psp.

It's coming out on PC as well y'know :ohwell:

There's a very slim chance I'll pick this up for the PC, should have been on the 360 and I would have snapped it up. Legend was great even though it was simple.

Yeah, Legend was far too simple for a Tomb Raider game.

You should try the originals, some puzzles take days to complete! :o

I played all the originals as they came out, they were great games. Chronicles sucked though, that one was pretty easy until you got to either Ireland or the big facility place and then it just got crazy hard.
