Hey all, been a while, but you know what it's like...busy, busy, busy!
Just wanted to let you know that Crystal Dynamics has published the first shots from their new Tomb Raider game for PS3 and Xbox360, and it's a whole new Lara yet again!
One of the first generation Xbox360 games, Crystal Dynamics''Tomb Raider Legend' turned the whole franchise upside down with a fresh new attitude and a completely new vision in april 2006.
After a revisit to Lara's first adventure with 'Tomb Raider Anniversary' in June 2007, Eidos and Crystal Dynamics envisioned another look for their lead character for their 2008 release of 'Tomb Raider Underworld'. This look was even further enhanced for their download-only release of last year's 'Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light'.
Crystal Dynamics is now busy creating their latest adventure with Lara, which will be released in 2011. Check here for the great cover they put together for the January issue of US magazine 'Game Informer', featuring some awesome 3D work done by their pals in Japan based on the work by lead designer Branoch Adams.
There's a great video with Karl Stewart showing the creation of the cover and the artwork, check that out here (hit the link and scroll down). Alternatively, if you want the new Lara on your desktop, check out here for some awesome wallpapers the guys at GI put in their hub!
Lara's new look also means a new lead cast for the upcoming third Tomb Raider movie. In 2001 Angelina Jolie played the main character and respied her role in the 2003 sequel 'The Cradle of life'(Directed by Dutch director Jan de Bont).
The Game franchise was initially started by the British game studio Core Design, who created six games before with Eidos before Crystal Dynamics took over, starting in 1996 with the first Sega Saturn/Playstation title created by Toby Gard and Paul Douglas. Gard is now working as a computer game consultant at Focal Point Games. In 1997 Michael Silvestri's 'Top Cow' took the franchise into comics and has since succesfully published the Tomb Raider comics line with artists like Andy Park and writer Dan Jurgens.
