TOMB RAIDER REMAKE
FOR ANNIVERSARY?

Official
U.S. Playstation magazine has added further credence
to an article we
published in June suggesting Eidos'
much hyped Tomb
Raider 10th Anniversary could be a direct
remake of the 1996 classic Tomb
Raider, which saw Lara
Croft redefine the video-gaming genre with
the introduction of action-adventure.
According
to PSM, Crystal
Dynamics intend to explore the now famous
tombs from Tomb Raider using the Tomb
Raider Legend engine. Another upgrade will
be some 10,000 polygons now adorning Lara Croft,
rather than the mere 500 which catapulted her
onto the front cover of THE FACE in 1997.
We are
leaning towards the theory that Tomb Raider 10th
Anniversary will be an amalgamation of the best
bits from Tomb Raider and Tomb
Raider II, using the latest in video-game
technology to restore Lara Croft to digital perfection.
Eidos
has confirmed Tomb Raider 10th Anniversary is
a one-off title to celebrate both Lara Croft and
Tomb Raider, appealing not only to the loyal fans
of the Tomb Raider series but also attracting
a totally new audience.
