Tomb Raider Underworld Dev Diary - Lara's Shadow

Tomb Raider Underworld Dev Diary - Lara's Shadow
Written Thursday, March 05, 2009 by Dan Webb

When episode 2 of the Tomb Raider Underworld downloadable content was announced way back in October of last year, I must admit, I had flashbacks of the Angel of Darkness title when they mentioned another player character. However, I never thought for one minute that we'd be taking control of Lara's doppleganger. So all is right in the world now, right? Well, kind of, but after watching through the dev diary below, I'm just not so sure it's a wise move.

There is something about a Lara Croft lookalike who has more power and speed that will almost certainly detract from the tomb raiding experience ... agreed? It looks a bit like a Benny Hill and Lara Croft cross breed at times. Still, we're open minded and we'll look forward to March 10th if it's still on schedule.

The guy speaking in this video looks like a serial killer. The environments are....all the same.

Not impressed by that at all and I was a big fan of underworld / beneath the ashes. Real shame.

this is the wrong direction. it looks like the level with thor and his hammer. i hated that level. the graphics were so bad with that blue liquid stuff. med sea looked sweet. i want to play as lara in the real world... not some juiced up look-a-like in the blue laguna.

we'll see though i suppose. you never know.....

Poll

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
