Tomb Raider Underworld Beneath The Ashes Trailer

The first trailer for the imminent Tomb Raider Underworld DLC.

[WhittO]

is this DLC exclusive to 360 aswell or is it multi-plat ?

[Wolfie]

360 exclusive :/

[rhood022]

It's exclusive. As is the other episode that will be released.

But some Eidos employees admitted that these were levels in the game that were removed explicitly for DLC.

[WhittO]

lol god thats alot of exclusive DLC!!

dont have this game anyway, Uncharted FTW lol.

Id be pissed though if i did have it and i couldnt download any DLC for it, Sony need to get a move on with this.

[thor]

Who is this character ^^^^

I know who Nasim is, but this certainly isn't him. What does this person have against Nasim? I've seen a few accounts recently mocking/immitating/insulting Nasim. Anyway reported off-topic.

[aggh im on fire]

I really enjoyed Underworld. Day one download for me.

[2FootYard]

I never played a Tomb Raider game.

[Knightofelemia]

Great i only have the game on the PS3 and it was awsome i hope this content is coming to the PS3

[WhittO]

I played them on PS1 and were really good but then i played one of them on ps2 and it was really crap lol.

But this 1 is meant to be good, if you have a ps3 though id recommend Uncharted over it.

okay, you did say you haven't played Underworld, now didn't you? if so how can you "think" about Tomb Raiders?

what's the point of pathetic puzzles that only waste your time and don't require any thought process lol? as for cinematic, Uncharted is a rather cliched cinematic experience tbh, besides I personally don't like when games try to be like cinema too much..

[WhittO]

puzzles are used to break up gameplay, it gets boring if you just do the same thing over and over.

They may not be hard, but the puzzles in uncharted make you feel more like you are actually on this journey with nate, finding things as he does, actually taking part in activities instead of letting a cutscene do it for you.

As for not liking a cinematic experience thats your choice, but when you are running away from enemys shooting them as you run, it looks like a cutscene but instead you are playing it, how can you complain about that?!

Great music, camera angles, voice acting, sound effects, animation all make it more realistic and cinematic, so what your saying is you would prefer not to have these and just be behind the character ploughing through endless enemies ? Maybe you should stick to Wii games if all you want is hard puzzles and normal, bland, repetitive, done a million times style of gameplay.

[Guy169]

this game is 10 times more fun than Uncharted.

[WhittO]

wouldnt know, havent played it.

So i can just say Uncharted was amazing and alot of fun !

[Argento-Nox]

I've played both, I like both, but I'd pick uncharted over Tomb Raiders. Tomb Raiders felt a bit mechanical in some areas and the obvious glitches I experienced were annoying.

This new DLC is somewhat disconcerting in the sense it was supposed to be in the original game build, until it was removed as 360 exclusive DLC. I hope this doesn't become a habit for developers to take content away and bring it back as DLC.

[Guy169]

the latest patch fixes Underworld glitches.

Uncharted is a good enough game, too repetitive for my taste though and not enough exploration. no actual puzzles too. would they upgrade the battle mechanics in TR, Lara would kill Uncharted imho.

gawd I lol @ the N4G bubbles.

[WhittO]

there are puzzles, just not ones that make you sit there for ages until you actually turn the game off and look up the answer online lol.

The battle mechanics are also great in Uncharted, the hand-to-hand combat is great, cinematic even, i think the entire game is tailored to a cinematic experience, whenever i see tomb raider i always think it looks bland and average.

Just my opinion.

@Guy169

Thanks for telling me, I actually didn't know they fixed up the glitches in TR. I have to heartly agree with you, fixing the TR playing style would help a lot. I really hope to see some new things in uncharted 2 as well.

[Guy169]

"puzzles are used to break up gameplay, it gets boring if you just do the same thing over and over."

dude, wtf?? Underworld is mostly exploration, with puzzles and some combat to break it up. while Uncharted is more like a shooter. what's your point, are you implying Underworld is just puzzles?

"They may not be hard, but the puzzles in uncharted make you feel more like you are actually on this journey with nate, finding things as he does, actually taking part in activities instead of letting a cutscene do it for you."
again, wtf? you haven't even played this game, and this is complete nonsense. you control Lara and do everything yourself..

"As for not liking a cinematic experience thats your choice, but when you are running away from enemys shooting them as you run, it looks like a cutscene but instead you are playing it, how can you complain about that?!"
are you implying TR lacks animations?

"so what your saying is you would prefer not to have these and just be behind the character ploughing through endless enemies ? Maybe you should stick to Wii games if all you want is hard puzzles and normal, bland, repetitive, done a million times style of gameplay."
No, that's not what I meant, not at all. and Wii is a silly toy in my opinion. take Gears of War or Left4Dead, or Dead Space for example - those games are actually fun.

anyway, like I said Uncharted is rather cliched, there's nothing in that game I haven't experienced before. and as for too cinematic games, I mean in example MGS - basically an interactive movie. Uncharted does lack fun gameplay in my opinion as well, in comparison to Tomb Raider in particular.
