Two apparently disgruntled former Crystal Dynamics employees have confirmed the rumored lay-offs at the studio and dished a little inside information about the development of Tomb Raider Underworld, including how the DLC came to be.

[A] anonymous, former Crystal Dynamics employee posting in the forums claims that the decision to cut the content was made specifically to use it later in DLC.

"Ask anyone who is part of it and if they are honest they will tell you around 40% of the DLC was meant to be in the game itself, originally. But it was decided later on to take out those parts because they were expecting most sales on the 360 and the DLC the way it looked at the time was looking to be a bit 'thin'. So we were asked to cut some parts out to be used in the DLC."

Lara Faces "Family-Friendly" Redesign (News)

Jan 12, 2009

Edge writes: "Eidos is suggesting that the modern videogame icon Lara Croft may undergo a 'family friendly' redesign.

The publisher's suggestions have come forward as the recent release of Tomb Raider: Underworld missed sales expectations by some £20m, while developer Crystal Dynamics has been subjected to layoffs to focus the team's output to the core IP.

It is suspected that Lara's popularity – as a character – is fading particularly in the US. And, as the commercial success of all Tomb Raider games have always had a degree of dependence on Lara's image, this may prompt a fresh face for the heroine in her next title."

From PS3 Attitude: "Since lists appear to be all the rage recently, I would like to put in my two cents about Tomb Raider Underworld."

Excerpts:

"When I see a trailer for Tomb Raider's story and I hear the word epic being blasted in rapid fire (3 times in 37 seconds) I listen. I listen loud and clear. This story is going to suck. Epically. Enough with the hype and the marketing jargon. If the game is any good we will do that for you. Perhaps they are in (epic) damage control already. If they realized that this latest (epic) game has really nothing (epic) to bring to the table, at least they can hype the (epic) crap out of it.

Epic."

"Another "revolutionary" enhancement is the ability to shoot while grabbing on to a pillar, ledge or balance beam. Thank god for the power of the PS3 to finally pull that one off."

Tomb Raider: Underworld Coming November 18th (News)

Sep 30, 2008

PSX Extreme Writes:

Although the series hit a speed bump or two last generation, we've seen a strong revival thanks to recent entries like Tomb Raider: Legend. Therefore, our expectations are very high for the upcoming Tomb Raider: Underworld, which now has a solidified release date.

According to News10 (ABC), Eidos has officially announced that Underworld will arrive for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, PS2, DS and PC on November 18, just in time for the holiday rush. One important note mentioned in the ABC article shouldn't go unnoticed; although Legend was indeed on the 360, it wasn't specifically designed for next-gen consoles. Underworld, however, is. And this time around, our ageless buxom friend is out to prove the existence of the mythical hammer of the Norse God, Thor. If you're a fan of mythology, you're well aware of this artifact, which is supposed to be able to smash mountains and even destroy other Gods. Clearly, a quest of this magnitude will involve multiple exotic locations and numerous baddies to test Lara's new skills, and let's not forget about those challenging puzzles.

Siliconera: "While swimming toward the ruins, Lara is targeted, as usual, by the local predators - this time by sharks. While submerged, the player has recourse to a spear gun and sticky grenades, which the developers have dubbed the "instant sushi maker." There are bioluminescent jellyfish stationed by the walls of the ruins that provide a light source for exploring the caverns, and also pose as a hazard that the player must navigate around. Lara can also use a flashlight, which unlike Tomb Raider Legend's has an unlimited power supply. As Lara passes through dirt-strewn passages after climbing out of the water, her face and feet will noticeably be streaked with grime."

It's becoming clearer as the months pass just how big a step forward is planned for Lara Croft. Underworld has been blowing us away for months with teasing images, but this time we got an up close look at the game in action. This glimpse only reinforces the point - Lara is headed into some exciting new waters.

The level we saw begins as Lara stands in her wetsuit aboard a well-appointed yacht. Diving off, she enters into the profound blue of the Mediterranean Sea and swims downward in her scuba gear. As some dangerous sharks approach, Lara has her trusty spear gun for protection. This time around, and throughout the game, she can use non-lethal tranquilizers - not everybody was enthusiastic about the need to kill off endangered animals in earlier games.

New Tomb Raider not under pressure to out-do Uncharted (News)

Feb 1, 2008

Videogamer reports UK publisher Eidos has insisted that superb PS3 exclusive Uncharted: Drake's Fortune's critical and commercial success has not put any pressure on developer Crystal Dynamics to out-do it with the first true "next-gen" Tomb Raider game.

In forum posts across the internet some gamers have expressed concern that Tomb Raider: Underworld, due out late 2008 on the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, will need to go some way to outshine its treasure-hunting rival Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and may end up suffering from being too similar to the PS3-exclusive.

In an interview with VideoGamer.com, Kathryn Clements, Tomb Raider's senior brand manager, admitted that there were similarities between the two games, but stressed that "the final Tomb Raider game will be very different to Uncharted", citing different gameplay focuses.

When asked if she had played Uncharted, Clements responded: "I have. I thought it was a good game. We've all played Uncharted at Eidos, and we all thought it was a great game, but actually having played the game, apart from the premise of the storyline and the fact that he's a treasure hunter, it's actually quite different to Tomb Raider, it's actually more focused on combat."

You see, so much of Tomb Raider Underworld is being kept under wraps (in a lead-lined bunker in a secret installation under the sea - on another planet), we're having to draw our own conclusions from the demo we were shown recently at a top ...

SCi Entertainment on Friday announced the immediate departure of a trio of top executives: CEO Jane Cavanagh and two divisional managing directors, Bill Ennis and Rob Murray. The move comes a week after SCi said takeover talks had ended, and that it was strapped for funding.

Phil Rogers, who joined SCi from Electronic Arts in March as chief financial officer, will become CEO.

Malcolm Dunne, the U.S. chief financial officer, will become interim CFO, but won't be appointed to the board. SCi will look both externally and internally for a permanent CFO.

SCi will conduct a business review and is in talks to find the necessary funding to survive the delay of Tomb Raider: Underworld.

The financial problems at SCi, which counts Time Warner as a major shareholder, come at a generally positive time for the overall games industry.
