#82525 Место действия - Камбоджа?

Отправлено по Zorro on 18 April 2005 - 07:19 в Tomb Raider Legend

А, может, и правда Южная Америка? Цивилизация инков или майя? Там она, по-моему, ещё не была.

Возможно, что maverick правильно угадал - скрины очень похожи на что-то в стиле ацтеков, майя или инков. B) Надеюсь, что это действительно так!!! :P А судя по кофточке, горам, водопадам и снегу - больше тянет на Анды (инки, стало быть) :rolleyes:

С другой стороны, на неоновой рекламе видны восточные иероглифы, что южную Америку отбрасывает и предполагает действие где-то в Юго-Восточной Азии. Да и небоскрёбов в Южной Америке нет. Скорее, это где-то в Малайзии... Я лично, думаю, что это всё-таки будет Азия. К сожалению, у меня нет времени, чтобы сравнить стиль статуй с учебниками/сайтами по истории, чтобы найти наиболее точное соответствие. Если у кого-то такое время есть, сравните, пожалуйста, и расскажете всем о результатах. :rolleyes:



#81480 Официальные новости о Tomb Raider-7

Здесь, в принципе, та же самая информация, но есть что-то и новенькое:

===================================================================

По информации CNN 7-я часть Tomb Raider будет показана уже через 6
недель (18-20 мая) на выставке E3 в Лос Анжелесе.


CNN has told that Eidos will show Tomb Raider Legend on E3!

CNN: "Lara Croft fans will see yet another incantation of the buxom heroine as Eidos shows the newly revamped 'Tomb Raider: Legend'. The newly red-headed and less buxom Lara will return to her tomb raiding roots in this game after her ill-fated journey into the streets of Paris and Prague in 2003's 'Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness'. Series creator Toby Gard, who hasn't worked on a 'Tomb Raider' game since the original, is overseeing work on this one."

E3's just six weeks away!
May 18-20, 2005 at Los Angeles Convention Center, USA.

No official word from Eidos on the E3 story.

===================================================================

Судя по всему ни у кого нет чёткой информации о дате выхода игры и платформам:
эти ребята цитируя Eidos, говорят следующее (думаю перевод не нужен):

Tomb Raider: Legend is slated for release on the Sony PlayStation2, Microsoft Xbox and
PC between July 1, 2005 and June 30, 2006 (FY2006).

Для тех, кто не знает английский: судя по всему, Eidos уже куплена
или очень скоро будет куплена компанией News Corp. и это хорошо,
так как у них много денег, и они купили Eidos чтобы делать новые
и хорошие игры :) , а не для того, что бы получить бренды Eidos
и уволить всех её сотрудников!

News Corp. eyeing Eidos?


Game-industry sources in the UK say the multimedia conglomerate is close to a "wholesale acquisition" of the Tomb Raider publisher.

Two weeks ago, whispers began to spread that British publisher Eidos Interactive was on the verge of being bought by a then-unnamed party. The unsubstantiated reports were the latest in a months-long chain of buyout rumors surrounding Eidos since it revealed it was in "preliminary discussions" with corporate suitors last August. Past reports have named everyone from Ubisoft to a venture capital group led by U2 front man Bono as potential buyers.

The big difference with the latest batch of Eidos-takeover scuttlebutt is that it involves News Corporation. In recent months, the massive multimedia conglomerate, which already owns DirecTV, Sky TV, TV Guide, The New York Post, HarperCollins Publishers, and the Fox film studio and television networks, has been quite public about its desire to break into the game industry.

Given News Corp.'s size--it kicked off its 2005 financial year with a $536 million first-quarter profit, more than double Eidos' entire FY04 annual income of $241 million--a buyout of the cash-strapped, IP-rich Eidos would be a piece of cake. Such a move would also seem in character for News Corp. chairman and CEO K. Rupert Murdoch, who has championed an aggressive acquisition strategy since founding the company in Australia more than two decades ago. It would also likely be a preemptive strike against News Corp.'s archrival Viacom, whose own CEO, Sumner Redstone, owns nearly 80 percent of Midway Games and is moving aggressively to reenergize the publisher. (It would also be ironic, given Viacom-owned Paramount Pictures produced both Tomb Raider films.)

Now, it looks like the buyout may be happening. An informed source close to the British game industry, in general, and Eidos, in particular, today told GameSpot that News Corp. is on the verge of purchasing Eidos outright. "It sounds like a wholesale acquisition," said the contact.

If it comes to pass, a News Corp. acquisition could provide a very bright future for Eidos. Previously, the most common scenario was that a rival publisher would buy Eidos for its valuable original franchises, such as the Tomb Raider and Hitman series, and then lay the majority of its employees off. However, since News Corp. has no game-development or publishing infrastructure in place, it would probably retain most, if not all, of Eidos. "Mr. Murdoch looks likely to snap up the whole organization," the source told GameSpot. "He'll want to retain the structure, as it gives him immediate access to content and distribution. So it's not likely he'll gut it."

As word spreads, some press outlets are speaking of the News Corp. acquisition as a done deal. However, nothing is official--yet--as American and British representatives for Eidos had not responded to solicitations for comment as of press time. But until any deal is formalized, it is likely any statement given will be similar to one recently offered to GameSpot by a corporate officer, who said, "I can't comment on this, at the moment, other than to say the strategic review is ongoing."

GameSpot will have all the latest developments in the Eidos-acquisition saga as they occur.

Дмитрий, у меня есть предложение: давайте либо разрешим людям удалять свои собственные сообщения или хотя бы увеличим время, в течение которого можно отредактировать своё сообщение до 1-2 часов B)

Сейчас это очень не удобно! Приведу пример ситуации: вчера я отправил в тему о TR7 статью Адрина Смита, а потом подумал, что хорошо бы для людей, которые небегло читают по английски выделить в статье самое главное и интересное и подвести небольшой итог того, что там написано. Я начал редактировать, но сохранить результаты уже не смог, хотя прошло всего минут 5-10 :( Поэтому я отправил вторую версию сообщения и просьбу удалить старый вариант. Кто-то, конечно, от чистого сердца удалил, но не совсем не то, что нужно (удалили последний вариан - тот что лежал поближе... :ph34r:). Похожие ситуации случаются не в первый раз.

Мне кажется, что это будет очень хорошим улучшением форума и сделает его намного приятнее :rolleyes:

Я вот наткнулся на довольно пространные разглагольствования ещё Адриана Смита по поводу Tomb Raider 7-8. На данный момент неизвестно, будет ли Crystal Dynamics продолжать развивать старые идеи, но если всё-таки будут, то это может быть интересным тем, кто ну очень мучается от люботытства :P

ADRIAN SMITH TALKS TOMB RAIDER 7 & 8
Copyright © 2003 Eidos Interactive Plc | July 24th 2003

=

Core Design boss Adrian Heath-Smith has sensationally revealed details on the future direction of British aristocrat Lara Croft and the Tomb Raider series: "The story in The Angel of Darkness has been really important for us, it's been argued that there's maybe too much story in this game. The reason is that we decided we'd do more than one game from the get go, rather then one new game and then go 'guess what guys, you've got to do another one'."

The bigger picture - "We thought we would try to knit the story together, as the other way has always been a nightmare. From the start we assumed we were doing more than one new game, so we went away and wrote the story. The source of the inspiration has been over all a theme that we wanted to run across the three games. It's just explained, almost scratched upon the surface of the first one, the second is based much more around the big thing and the third is the natural ending of it, how Lara resolves it, how she fits into it. The overall theme is the Nephilim, said to be the descendants of angels and mortals. They're mentioned in the Enochian Gospels. This was the original big theme we came up with, as it had a lot of potential and sure inspired the terrific new characters you meet in The Angel of Darkness. We looked at things like X-Files and we thought that was a great example. Because there's the big 'Are there or aren't there?' story line and each episode stands alone but they tell you a little more about the bigger story."

The Nephilim - "The overall goal for us was let's use the Nephilim theme and run it across all three games. For us it was great because the second game is going to be a belter, it's very Tomb Raider. It's set in the Nephilim realm under Turkey, Cappadocia. It's all temples and tombs and lost cities, which is all very Tomb Raider-esque; full of fantasy grounded in reality. There are no aliens with big tentacle arms but it has some strange looking humans. In The Angel of Darkness we had to introduce the Nephilim and put Lara into a situation that was different to what we've done in the past. She's always been squeaky clean, she's gone and found artefacts and gone out and saved the world. We couldn't change Lara's character, absolutely not. We couldn't turn her into a mass murderer. We couldn't have her going around slaying small children. The end of the Last Revelation was the last game for us. Lara was missing. That was a clean start, something really important."

Continuity - "There's a whole time period between the temple collapsing and the beginning of this game that isn't covered in The Angel of Darkness but may be in the second. We call the period internally 'Lara of Arabia.' We have the whole time period mapped out, what actually happened to her, where she's been. There's also another time period of when she came back to London. She had a near death experience when she survived the temple. Causing her to hang up her guns. We seriously looked at making her an alcoholic, having Croft Manor burnt down. We wanted her life in a mess and she returns facing one catastrophe after another, she comes back and Croft Manor is burning to the floor. Then she hits the bottle, of course. Lots of things to change the situation, to really get her down. But we thought that was a little bit extreme. We also had reservations about what the movie people were doing, in so far as we burn Croft Manor down it would stick out a bit and make it difficult for them. That's as much as we've ever tied-in to the movies."

Wanted: Lara Croft - "So the idea we came up with was let's get her accused of murder in Paris. Everything that has worked for her in the past because she's famous and well known, all these doors have been open for her. Suddenly they're all shut, because everybody does know her and everyone is trying to catch her. Lara comes in and has this argument with Von Croy, at the end of the day she's got blood on her hands, she jumps out of the window and the game starts."

Mass Murderer - "But one murder wasn't enough, because people wouldn't believed Lara did it. So we invented murders that have been happening around Europe and around the world and have been happening over a period of time, and all these murders have been given a name. That name is the Monstrum Murders. Paris is itchy and nervous because these murders have been happening. Suddenly there's another one, and it's the same. They're gratuitous murders with body parts ripped out and symbols on the walls. Lara Croft is accused of it and the whole world has just condemned her. And that's very much the start. So Lara is accused of murdering Von Croy. He's her old friend and mentor, but there is a motive. She's bitter towards Von Croy because she blames him for what happened in The Last Revelation. Him for the temple collapsing and for being trapped and going missing, she emerges bitter and twisted towards him."

Killing Von Croy - "Von Croy got into something dark and mysterious and wanted out. Scared, he calls Lara to help him. She reluctantly assists, they have a massive argument, something happens, it's a bit vague in the game, you see him pull a gun, and you see Lara flying through the air. Next thing, she's getting up, he's dead and covered in blood. For a good chunk of the game you're not sure what happened. I don't think anyone will think she killed Von Croy, but then again you don't know, and we do everything we can through the story to bring doubt into your mind. Von Croy was hired to find five missing, lost paintings. Why, you don't know, but the reason becomes clear. We made it pretty obvious early on that if Lara's going to clear her name then she has to find those painting. Along the way she discovers Eckhardt, a particularly nasty person that heads up an organisation called the Cabal."

Brother Obscura - "There are five Obscura paintings, they aren't the sort of thing you'd want to put up on your wall. The Cabal hold three of them, you find one under the Louvre. The Cabal are a very powerful organisation shrouded in mystery, with a strange dark side. Though history they've always been there and there's been a religious war fought against them since the 1300's. That time frame for us is really important and we do make reference to it. Potentially we will make reference to it outside of this game. What I mean by that is that you find out that Eckhardt has been around since 1300's, so he's obviously got some pact and some way of adding form of longevity to his life. Ultimately Lara finds out that the Cabal want to bring back the Nephilim race. For what means she doesn't know."

Enter Kurtis - "We introduce Kurtis quite early on and he's very much the protagonist at the beginning on the game. He's always one step ahead of Lara, he's in the cafe when Lara walks in, or he's on the other side of the river. Eventually they get together and they work together and you get to play as Kurtis. At this point, you get all the pieces of the jigsaw. You discover he is the last descendent of an organisation called the Lux Veritatis, which translates as 'light of truth,' a religious group that have been the Cabal through history. The Lux Veritatis knew what the Cabal wanted. They all have a special ability and have chosen to wage this war against the Cabal because ultimately the Cabal wants to bring back the Nephilim. They want to put themselves into higher order, a new race if you like, that is going to rule the world and we're all going to be doomed. Kurtis has turned his back on all this. Then his conscious leaves him. He's the only one in the world that knows the secret history. He takes it upon himself to take on the Cabal and Eckhardt."

Hidden History - "The war between the Cabal and Lux Veritatis has been going on for ages, so we might make use of this. It might be that every major event in history has happened for a reason. It might be that the Great Fire of London in 1666 didn't start in a baker's shop, maybe the Cabal and Lux Veritatis had a bit of a tiff at that point and that's what started it. Maybe Richard Karel introduced the plague, because he's been doing everything he can to get rid of the human race. Maybe Adolf Hitler was just a manufactured person. It's something that we're going to play on. Not in this game, but maybe a spin-off for The Angel of Darkness, because Eckhardt is such a great baddie. Eckhardt is such a horrible person who's been around since the 1300's. He has to cut people up and take there body parts to give himself longevity. Maybe Jack the Ripper was based on Eckhardt? We've got a lot of these parallel stories that are written. It's something that we will call on and use in other games."

The Sting "There's a massive sting in that tail to the game. Eckhardt met the last Nephilim in the 1300's, who told him that they need somebody to go out, they are dying and they have put themselves into an ark that's hidden - and that's the second game - they need somebody to go out and bring back their race. The Nephilim did a deal with Eckhardt, the deal was that they'd give him longevity of life if he went on a took the cause and carry on what they were trying to do. So Eckhardt actually met a Nephilim back then. He actually double-crossed them in 1442; he tried to stitch them up, and they hadn't fully gone, they were still here, so they threw him into a pit that was hell like. That's ware he stayed until 1945 which was a castle in Germany called Castle Kriegler, the castle was bombed and he escaped. So he's been back among the population since 1945. He has now abandoned the idea of bringing back the Nephilim and getting a pat on the head. He now wants to be the head honcho of the Cabal and the Nephilim and become like them. The Cabal as an organisation have what's known as the Sleeper, a sleeping Nephilim. They realise that if they get the Obscura painting and perform a ceremony they'll bring Nephilim back. What you don't realise is a twist right at the end of The Angel of Darkness, when Lara confronts Eckhardt and they have a bit of a showdown. Lara is about to kill him by putting some shards into him. Karel, Eckhardt's right-hand man who runs the Cabal organisation, will then jump out of the shadows and actually kill Eckhardt. Lara talks to Karel, questioning what he's just done. Then he shows himself to Lara, showing that he is the Nephilim. He says you're all in trouble because I've been manipulating the whole system. All the way through I've been manipulating Eckhardt, and the Cabal, I've been manipulating you. And in actual fact, you all believe Eckhardt killed Von Croy. It wasn't, it was Karel that killed him."

What next? - "So you've given Karel all the pieces he wants and now he's gone. That then becomes the beginning of the second game. And there's a bit of a twist. I don't think people will see the Karel thing coming from anywhere because there's no reason for it. But he shows himself at the end and to just really confuse everybody we've said that the Nephilim are shapeshifters. So the way he shows himself to Lara is by changing through the various people who have come up to Lara throughout the game and have told her what to do. Throughout the game, that was Karel manipulating her path. The reason he was doing that was because he wants the painting. No one has been able to find them other then Lara, so he manipulated the whole situation. He Lara at the beginning so she was accused of murder, he wanted the painting so he got Lara to look for them. Eckhardt's a great baddy, but at the end of The Angel of Darkness to all intents and purposes he's killed. So he's actually gone. Karel isn't, he shows himself to be a Nephilim, he escapes and there's no way of killing him."

Kurtis Doomed - "The last time you see Kurtis he's collapsed on the floor, injured. He's being considered for the second game and could be a really big part of it, but ... if he stiffs and people really hate him, potentially he could be dead. I hope not though, because there's already a part written for him in the second and third games. That's why Lara collects Kurtis' Chirugai weapon at the end of The Angel of Darkness. The give-away is that it glows, showing that he still has power and so that Kurtis could be alive. Will Lara get to him in time? You'll have to wait and find out! In the second game Lara goes to the Nephilim stronghold under Cappadocia. The whole game is under Turkey in Cappadocia. Lara finds some secret passage and that's where the Nephilim race were, that was their stronghold. She's given Karel everything he needs, so he's gone back there and is starting something that Lara has to stop. We never really wanted to reveal the Nephilim in their true form. We showed the Sleeper, but that's as much as we ever wanted to show of them. What we're actually doing now for the second game is designing the whole Nephilim race: what do Nephilim look like? You'll have to wait and see..."

Industry News:

Deal worth approximately $47.5 million

Eidos Interactive has acquired Crystal Dynamics in a deal worth approximately $47.5 million. While mainly a console company, Crystal Dynamics has published a few PC titles in the past, including Gex and Gex: Enter the Gecko. The company also developed Activision’s Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain.

Still, the acquisition strengthens Eidos’ console publishing business. Eidos said that it plans to incorporate Crystal Dynamics as another studio within the company. In addition, the Crystal Dynamics studio and staff will continue operations without change.

Понять это можно взглянув на следующие ссылки:Причина этого: publisher игры Tomb Raider по прежнему Eidos Interactive, но developer работу выполняет Crystal Dynamics.

Например, если вы не любите мышек, то создайте, пожалуйста, отдельную тему "Антимышинное Движение Tomb Raider" и выскажитесь там :rolleyes: Уверен, что за это Вам никто слова не скажет, так как, насколько я понимаю, на форуме "Tomb Raider 7" флеймить официально разрешено на около-Ларо-Крофтовские темы :P

Вы правы!

Видно, что достаточно большому числу фанатов Tomb Raider приятнее почитать форум B)

А резюме на данный момент такое (повторюсь чуть-чуть): половина уже сделана - уже есть новый, работающий движок (а значит, должно быть достаточно времени на его тестирование), в котором будет новое управление, но идейная чать пока отсутсвует, так как всё ещё ведётся исследование рынка, а значит ещё нет ни сценария, ни названия, ни даже текстур (а если и есть, то только первые задумки и варианты, которые легко могут быть скоро отброшены).

В целом, думаю, что это хорошо иметь отдельную тему для официальных новостей - легко быть в курсе дел, не процеживая милую болтовню фанатов :D А кроме того, простые пользователи форума смогут выкладывать новости B)

It's official: Lara Croft is skipping E3

=

Eidos confirms the new Tomb Raider won't be on display at this year's game expo.

After weeks of rumors, Eidos representatives confirmed today that the next Tomb Raider game will not be shown at the 2004 E3 game expo. "It's official," said a rep regarding the no-show, which was first hinted at in the European games press last month.

Little is known about the new Tomb Raider, which is the seventh in the series. Following the disappointing reception of Angel of Darkness, Eidos took the game away from Core, the studio behind the franchise's previous installments, and gave it to Legacy of Kain developer Crystal Dynamics. Celebrity developer Warren Spector is reportedly overseeing the project, along with several members of his Ion Storm studio.

For E3 attendees, Tomb Raider's no-show will mean there won't be a scantily clad "booth babe" dressed as Lara Croft on hand at Eidos' E3 booth. In the past, actresses such as The Practice's Rhona Mitra played the adventuress at the expo.

Although it hasn't been officially announced, Tomb Raider VII is tentatively slated for a summer 2005 release. The game will be available for the PlayStation 2 and PC under its as-yet-unknown final title.

http://forum.neowin....p?showtopic=639

=======

На коференции 5 марта, посвященной приобретению IO Interactive, Eidos также позволила себе затронуть тему следующей части Tomb Raider. Tomb Raider 7 будет первой игрой серии после провала The Angel of Darkness, разработкой которой занимается студия Crystal Dynamics, расположенная в Сан-Хосе. В настоящий момент прогресс в разработке нового Tomb Raider очевиден, хотя до поры до времени мы этого не увидим.

"Сейчас мы все еще много занимаемся рыночными исследованиями в плане содержания и персонажа игры", говорит главный руководитель Eidos Mike McGarvey. "Но фундаментальная технология уже готова, персонаж бегает в окружающей среде с новыми движениями и новой системой управления. Мы видели новую версию Tomb Raider на прошлой неделе и мы черезвычайно впечатлены тем прогрессом, который был произошел за столь короткое время".

Интерфейс и управление игры долго былы слабыми местоми серии TR, поэтому им уделяется один из ключевых вопросов в новой игре.

Первоночально предполагалось, что Angel of Darkness будет первой частью в трилогии, но с приходом Crystal Dynamics все выглядит так, будто они будут начинать все заново и двигаться в совершенно новом направлении(напомним, что запланирован выход седьмой и восьмой частей Tomb Raider).

По слухам, опубликованным в журнале "Official Xbox Magazine", главный дизайнер ION Storm (одна из дочерних компаний Eidos), Варрен Спектор будет работать над новым Tomb Raider вместе с Crystal Dynamics, правда не сказано в роли дизайнера или просто консультанта.

Седьмой Tomb Raider появится в течение финансового года до 30 июня 2005.

Eidos reveal first Tomb Raider 7 details
[05/03/04 17:06]
And, thankfully, that control system will be getting the overhaul it's been needing

=

Eidos have let slip with the first details of the next instalment of Tomb Raider - the first game in the series to be developed by Crystal Dynamics after Brit coders Core Design were dropped last year following the Angel of Darkness debacle.

"We are doing a lot of market research, in terms of the direction of the content and of the character," says Eidos CEO Mike McGarvey of the seventh Tomb Raider. "But the fundamental technology is already complete and the character is up and running in the environment, with new moves and a new control system. We are not in a position right now to articulate the creative direction of the franchise. It's still a little early. But we're certainly very excited about what we've seen so far."

Tomb Raider's interface has long been a weak point of the series, with the clumsy controls often leading to hugely frustrating ledge-leaping episodes, so the fact that this is one of the key issues being addressed in the new game is certainly a good sign.

Angel of Darkness was originally envisioned by Core as the first part of a trilogy but, while we've had no plot details as yet for Tomb Raider 7, judging by McGarvey's comments, it now seems certain that Crystal Dynamics will be starting afresh and taking the series in a new direction.

The seventh Tomb Raider is due to be released during the financial year ending 30 June 2005

Tomb Raider 723.04.2004, 14:06
Nicht auf der E3!

Nach einem Bericht der US-Seite GameSpot wird das nächste Tomb Raider-Spiel definitiv nicht auf der diesjährigen E3 zu sehen sein. Der Titel wird von Crystal Dynamics entwickelt und soll im Sommer 2005 für den PC und die PS2 erscheinen.
