Camilla Luddington On Playing Lara Croft And The Difficulties Of Pretending To Drown

Added: 28.02.2015 6:09 | 21 views | 0 comments


GI Many will recognize Camilla Luddington from her recurring roles on shows like Grey's Anatomy, Californication, or True Blood, but gamers know her as Lara Croft. Luddington provided Lara's voice and motion capture performance for the 2013 reboot, and lent a new level of grounded believability to a character that had previously fought dinosaurs and skateboarders in underground caverns. As part of our ongoing Rise of the Tomb Raider coverage, we had a chance to speak with Luddington about how her and how Lara's life has changed since their experience on Yamatai.

Deadline reports that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Divergent, and G.I. Joe 3 screenwriter Evan Daugherty has been tapped to pen the script for the upcoming Tomb Raider reboot. In addition, Warner Bros. Pictures has partnered up with MGM and producer Graham King to distribute the film. The original game was published in 1996 by the London-based video game company Eidos and became one of the most successful video games of the time. The most recent entry in the series was a reboot, telling the origin of Lara Croft. It was released in 2013 and sold over 5 million copies. A follow-up game, titled Rise of the Tomb Raider, is due out later this year as a timed-exclusive for the Xbox One and Xbox 360. Paramount Pictures previously made two movies about the daredevil archaeologist on a series of global missions. The films, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, starred Angelina Jolie and grossed a combined $432 million at the worldwide box office.

Hear Rise of the Tomb Raider first-hand impressions in our new video

Added: 20.02.2015 17:34 | 20 views | 0 comments


Things aren't any easier for Lara Croft in Rise of the Tomb Raider. She has bigger tombs to traverse, more ferocious fauna to fight, and more determined mercenaries to pepper with arrows. But she's a bit harder herself, as we saw in an exclusive preview session with the game, and she'll have a lot more room to express her sharpened talents this time around.

No more of those tiny little secret tombs - Lara will spelunk her way into massive, ancient structures in Rise of the Tomb Raider, and she'll have to use her wits and her acrobatic prowess to make it back out. That's assuming she doesn't try to fight a bear with no weapons at the start of the game, anyway - a bad call there could cut the whole thing a bit short. You can hear our experiences with the upcoming title in the new video embedded below, and make sure you click on for more details after that.

Lara Croft's explored so many exotic locales, racing to beat nondescript bad eyes to magical treasure, that 'thwart supernatural scheme' probably shows up right before 'buy milk' on her weekly to-do list. Rise looks to stick with that tradition, sending Lara to the frozen tundra of Siberia to discover the secret of immortality. I'm not sure if that comes in solid, raidable form, but if it does I'm calling right now.

A setting like Siberia definitely ups the ante in terms of survival. Say what you will about Yamatai and its population of murderous cultists, at least it was warm. The unforgiving weather Russia's northernmost parts is bad enough, but throw in hungry bears intent on having Lara for breakfast and it seems like everything's going to want her dead. More than normal, even.

At the start of Rise's E3 trailer, Lara's in therapy, talking through the trauma inflicted by her fun-filled excursion through Yamatai. Or rather she's not. She's sitting sullenly under the shadow of a hoodie. But don't fear that this is going to turn into a David Cage-style introspection simulator. Amid the conversation we get flashes of her next escapade, and it looks like it might be even darker than the first one.

Lara's questionable state of mind seems to be a big focus for Rise, if Crystal Dynamics' handling of her story in the meantime is any indication. The currently running both make a big point about how the trauma she experienced at Yamatai is still affecting her, while also showing the lady of tombs jumping off cliffs and exploring abandoned ghost towns. While we can certainly expect Rise to delve more deeply into Lara's PTSD, don't expect her to spend the entire game at the doctor's office. She's got stuff to do.

We've seen Lara leaping toward sheer rock faces before. By now she's no stranger to the old 'jump at a wall and stab your axe in at the last minute so as to not die' trick. But we haven't seen her do that while hurling herself over what looks like a half-mile deep mountain chasm, after being chased off a cliff by a giant marauding bear. We're still uncertain how much platforming will feature in the gameplay itself, but if it's anything like that little stunt, it looks like the platforming genre itself may be getting a gritty reboot.

In addition, though we haven't seen much of Rise's puzzle-solving aspects yet, it seems to be a priority for the team at Crystal Dynamics. Noah Hughes, Creative Director of Tomb Raider, noted in an that "The most important thing to us is really to live up to that promise of tomb raiding." Given that one of the main criticisms of the original reboot was that it lacked a proper selection of crypts to plunder, a renewed focus on the thinky-bits Lara's known for is nothing but good news.

As you may remember from the small fan-based nuclear explosion that detonated last August, Rise of the Tomb Raider will be Xbox One and Xbox 360 exclusive when it releases this holiday season. However, , though it's not yet confirmed how long it will last or what other consoles it might touch down on in the future.

While this is a frustrating move for anyone that doesn't have ready access to a box of X's, there is hope yet that the exclusivity window will be short. And hey, who knows? Your patience may be rewarded with a .

So that's everything we know about Rise of the Tomb Raider for now. But expect fo to start pouring out like the brains of so many arrow-perforated mooks very soon indeed. Keep an eye on this article, and we'll update it with every fact that arises as we move towards the game's Holiday 2015 release.

FanBolt writes: "Who likes to buy new clothes? I do, I do! Of course, Im talking about actual clothes. Paying for digital clothing to change the outfit of a character seems very silly in my opinion. However, thanks to the recent Steam sale, I decided to purchase both outfit packs for Lara Croft in Tomb Raider. It was only 39 cents per pack, so why not give it a try and write about it, right?"

Lara Croft The Temple of Osiris: implayin

Added: 10.02.2015 21:10 | 7 views | 0 comments


Taken from IM PLAYIN "On my quest to find games I can play with the other half, I managed to pick up Lara Croft The Temple of Osiris. While it may be a successor to Guardians of Light but not a direct sequel. Finding games that me and missis can play can be a tricky process. They generally need to be challenging enough for the both of us but not to challenging that we are shouting the house down, blaming each other for the last death. Yet another tick on the box is third person controls as while I have mastered the art of using two analog sticks that the same time, that skill still alludes some people, guess who."
