TOMB RAIDER UPDATE
AND FUTURE PLANS
Copyright 2007 www.tombraiderchronicles.com
[ September 2nd 2007 ]
Micro
update for our readers on what to expect in the
coming months. Eidos
recently attended Leipzig Games Convention in
Germany to showcase many upcoming titles including
Tomb
Raider Anniversary on Nintendo Wii. Media
from Leipzig can be collected from our Eidos Press
Vault courtesy of UIQO.com.
During
a recent visit to Eidos HQ, we got a chance to
take Lara Croft
for a spin on the Nintendo Wii platform. The experience
was novel in many aspects, from additional features
embedded into the game through alternative routes
to completing levels, all taking advantage of
the unique Wii control system. We'll have a full
review of Lara's Nintendo outing online soon,
and a fresh look at the Microsoft Xbox 360 version
in the coming weeks.
We don't
anticipate Eidos making any announcement on Tomb
Raider 8 this year. Our sources are speculating
a January announcement is most likely at this
time. However, in the coming months we will continue
to furnish you with goodness from Anniversary.
We'll also be taking time out to improve and update
older sections of our web site and will post updates
accordingly.
On the
whole, we've been delighted with player response
to Tomb Raider Anniversary. You can use Earth's
biggest Tomb
Raider Forums to document your own thoughts
on the game, along with using our platform to
chat with over 28,000 fans of Lara Croft. Share
tips, have fun and play games. Our forum is moderated
ensuring a safe environment for all age groups.
No word
from Paramount Pictures on a final Tomb
Raider motion picture. As we earlier reported,
Angelina Jolie has signed on for three movies
based on the Tomb Raider video-game and box office
receipts from The
Cradle Of Life - while not spectacular - do
warrant investment in a third picture.
Eidos
Director Ian Livingstone has indicated
a third movie is in the pipeline and we'll
keep our eyes and ears planted in a number of
industry hotspots in the hope of bringing you
more on this project as it transpires.
Lara
Croft TV will continue to offer fans unmarked,
full size images of Lara Croft from the entire
Tomb Raider series and we will be endeavouring
to bring online more media in GIANT resolution
in our Pictography
microsite previously only available via our
magazine, along with expanding our Show
Reel microsite with unmarked, HQ movies and
footage from Tomb Raider.
Tomb
Raider music and soundtracks remain offline while
we continue to negotiate with Eidos on licensing
arrangements and fees where applicable. Be sure
to regularly check Lara Croft TV for updates.
Thank
you for your continued support of our magazine,
and be sure to check back regularly for new media,
updates and a few surprises.
