Tomb Raider Underworld concept art and information
Previously known as Tomb Raider 8, Tomb Raider Underworld, developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Eidos is set to be released by the end of the year.
Underworld will resume the adventure where Tomb Raider Legend left off and will answer things that were unexplained. The game will be based in Southern Mexico.
This is what PSM (July 2008 issue of Playstation magazine (UK)) have to say about Tomb Raider Underworld:
“Seeing Lara squeezed into a wetsuit, standing on the deck of her luxury yacht anchored in the Med, two things are clear. First, we really need to return ‘Into The Blue’ to the video shop. Second, the grave-robbing must be going well if she can afford the kind of boat that Donald Trump would dismiss as showy.”
“Lara arrives at this new location - the first level of Tomb Raider Underworld - after learning her father found something here shortly before he disappeared. And at the bottom of the sea lies a submerged temple that hides a lot of the answers to Lara’s questions.”
“This location is hiding a big secret, though. The main chamber is blocked by a Kraken (read: ‘big angry octopus’) whose tentacles are wound through the door, pulling it firmly shut. Getting rid of the big squid involves leaping from ledges and poles to creaky old switches and mechanisms, finally releasing a large platform suspended over the leggy flesh-sack’s head.”
“One of the new game-play features in Underworld appears as Lara clambers through the cavern. As she crosses a bridge the Kraken swings one of his tree-sized tentacles, triggering an ‘Adrenaline Moment.’ Rather than the button matching mini-games from Legend or Anniversary, this causes a flash of slow motion, giving Lara a split second to evade the limb as it crushes the bridge under her feet.”
“Perhaps the best demonstration of just how good this all looks in action, however, comes when Lara reaches the last switch and drops the platform onto the creature - crushing it under a huge slab of rock. It’s impossible to tell whether squid-face’s roaring death throes and thrashing tentacles are a glossy CGI sequence or the in-game engine.”
And now for the concept art.

I dunno, Tomb Raider Legend was a stinker, I thought that Drake Fortune was the new “Tomb Raider” It looked way better and it was really like a game/movie,the characters were real and genuinely funny and had that “je ne sais quoi” that make you care 4 them.
I prefer be the guy looking for some boob action, that be boobs lookin for action.
