Tomb Raider 3 Details Revealed

Playstation: Eidos has revealed details of Tomb
Raider 3, and is keen to show that the game won't be
a rehash of its predecessors. Here are some of the
changes on the cards for Lara:

Reflections will be more predominant and
impressive - but not 'true' - just effects.
New vehicles will be available - including rafts
and cars.
Extra lighting effects using color filters.
Lighting will be more natural, across wider
areas - not just confined to particular blocks.
Triangular polygons are to be used for a more
organic look.
Lara will gain a sprint bar - to help her go
faster.
The engine too will be going faster, having had
an overhaul.
Locations include India, London, polar
research stations, and the jungle.
Lara can get down lower when she crawls.
A rocket launcher and an M-16 are amongst
the new weapons on offer.
Improved particle effects - smoke and mist
etc.
The game will be in high resolution.

Eidos was mentioned in the story I posted on THQI thread-post#6710.
