'Tomb Raider Underworld ' (ALL) Demo Coming Tuesday

**MIG-31** · Oct 27, 2008, 08:29 AM

Crystal Dynamics has made Tomb Raider Underworld more realistic with fluid movements due to motion capturing. Set a few years after the last game, it also features persistent destruction and lush locales across the globe. Lara gets muddy in the game, but with the weather system, rain will wash it away. Eidos revealed that a playable demo will be available Tuesday Oct. 28, and feature a portion of the Thailand level.

Must now....make...obvious..."underworld" joke...

Damnit.

Could be a great game this, I'll certainly hit the demo. That said I am always scared when devs use "motion capture" along with "fluid animation", with hand drawn animation you can make sure that animations flow into each other, with MC you can usually tell the timings of each capture change.

Ah well, we'll see on Tuesday
