GA-Source heeft een interview gepost met Adrian Smith en Mike Schmitt van Core design, waarin wat heen en weer gechat wordt over Tom Raider IV. In deel 4 mogen we een 16-jarige Lara besturen (<standaardgrap>de vraag hoeveel polygonen dit scheelt wordt niet gesteld</standaardgrap> ). Blááh, een vraag over de verschillen met vorige Tomb Raider delen:
How different will Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation be from the previous incarnations? How much of the original game is incorporated in this lastest version?We're trying to get back to the spirit of the first game (ie...more adventuring/puzzles...less shooting) the inventory system has been redone to make life easier for the player. Objects can now be stored/combined (ie...batteries/flashlight). Pieces of maps can be collected and lara will have access to an overview map for the first time in a tr adventure when she finds them all. Lara will have binoculars at her disposal to view things too far away for the naked eye. Information she collects will be stored in her diary where she can refer to it later.
