In a
report publish by Macworld today, Westlake Interactive,
which develops titles for software publisher Aspyr
for the MAC platform, confirmed it's intentions
for Eidos Interactives Tomb Raider series.
"We're
in our quiet period now - the industry tends to
focus on the holiday season. We are working on
the next Tomb Raider title, Tomb Raider Chronicles.
We'll start working on this soon, and expect to
see it released in early spring. We have another
two or three titles we are negotiating at present."
Westlake
has begun doing some work for console-games publishers.
Company spokesman Mark was adamant that this did
not mean the company is migrating from the Mac.
Mark added: "We love the Mac, we began on the
Mac. But, console-game development poses an interesting
challenge, and it does make good business sense.
"When
we finish developing a console title, it's always
good to get back to Mac development. You see,
with consoles, part of the challenge rests in
their very specific hardware configurations -
you have limited memory and this limits what you
can do. Mac development is much more creative."
Westlake
Interactive is already responsible for bringing
Eidos' The Last Revelation to the Mac platform,
topping it's respective genre chart list.
