Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light

New Tomb Raider Game Drops Tomb Raider Name. Not surprisingly, Square Enix announced today that developer Crystal Dynamics is at work on a new Tomb Raider game. Except, this one isn't called Tomb Raider, the famous words nowhere to be found in the game's title.

 

Instead, the game is called "Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light". Strange to forgo such a recognised brand, but then, it's a downloadable game, not a full retail title. And in the words of Crystal Dynamic's Darrell Gallagher, it's "something completely new and very different to what people might be expecting". Add in the fact the name isn't as relevant as it once was, and maybe dropping the "Tomb Raider" thing isn't the worst idea of the week.

 

It'll be out later this year, and there's no other information at this stage, with the game due to be shown off for the first time at GDC next week.

taigi naujas Tomb Raider zaidimas nesivadins tomb raider,ir bus atsisiunciamas zaidimas,ir kaip sake kurejai bus visiskai kitoks zaidimas nei visi tikisi is naujo tomb raider.

The game is expected to mark a significant shift away from the origins of the series: for a start, it will lead with the Lara Croft brand in favour of the traditional Tomb Raider title; it’s going to be distributed as a downloadable only title; it’s the first Lara Croft game with co-op; a fixed camera will also be used for the first time; and it’s expected to be a lot more action packed than previous Tomb Raider games

 

“The keyword here is co-op; the upcoming title will feature a multiplayer option and sport a fixed camera perspective. You’ll remember a vacancy advertised last year for lead designer with an expertise in multiplayer maps.”

 

The screenshots already give examples of how the co-op will be managed. One shows Lara and a partner working together to cross a gap filled with spikes: Lara creates a bridge using her grappling hook, as you teammate walks the tightrope he plants spears on the wall for Lara to swing from. This could turn out to be an action packed equivalent to LittleBigPlant. A promising prospect.

 

The Guardian of Light is one of two titles in production by Crystal Dynamics, so a proper sequel to the underwhelming Tomb Raider Underworld is likely to still be on cards. Nevertheless, the downloadable release gives us an opportunity to see Lara in a new light, something that has been needed for the series for a while.

Crystal Dynamics have released two new screenshots for Lara’s next adventure, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, which is scheduled to be released on Xbox Live, the PlayStation Network and PC this summer.

 

The two player co-op game will offer six hours of action and puzzle-solving, as players take on the role of Lara or a Mayan tribesman known as Totec. Take a peek at Lady Croft enjoying the new flamethrower below.

taigi 2 zaideju co-op misijos uztruks apie 6 valandas.visai nieko kaip tokiam zaidimui.pirma karta Lara tures co-op.gan idomu.

iseis ant PC,PSN,XBL sia vasara.

Matos, matos, kad kitoks žaidimas, bet man nepatinka ta idėja, kad kamera bus dar toliau, Laros beveik nematysim ir atrodo visas veiksmas vyks katakombose, mažai įvairovės, dar atrodo, kad pusiau fantastinis čia bus, nes kai kurios kolonos skraido, dar kažkokie padidinti vorai, ugniasvaidžiai, nu kažkaip visa šitai, atbaido mane, tu nuotykių nelabai lieka, labiau linksta į galvosukių žanra.

kamera aisku nutolinta nes bus coop juk,kaip kitaip matysi kur tavo draugelis "metosi" po ekrana,ar kur mires ar ka.na tai taip bus daugiau galvosukiu,nemanau kad galetu buti kitoks zanras jei jau padare coop,neisivaizduoju kaip zaistusi normalus Tomb Raider zaidimas coop,butu visiskai be rysio.todel ir nesivadina zaidimas Tomb Raider, o tai tik solo Laros pasirodymas,kaip koks atlikejas va atsiskiria nuo grupes kad isleist solo albuma,taip ir cia.Lara izengs i kitoki pasauli,ir galbut bus gerai perkam,nes galesi losti su draugu,ar drauge.nes kiek zinau LAra patinka ne tik vyriskai lyciai.
