Rumored that Lara's house will NOT be appearing in AOD.

First Location:
1. You find yourself in the backstreets of Paris, weaponless.

2. You need to find objects and start gathering information and talking to NPC's.

3. You begin in a courtyard complete with ledges and latters for training.

4. Stacking some conveniently placed crates is your excape route from the courtyard.

Sidenote: Newbie perplexed by this puzzle will have a door unlocked for them so they can get on with the adventuring. Some of Lara's new moves included knocking walls down, punching, kicking, snapping necks & sneak attacks.

5. Lara has a quasi-psychic link to a Bedouin helper who gives her advice on where to jump, hang, etc...

After Training level:

1. The louvre. Built ontop of a castle the famous gallery's passageways and rooms sprawl underneath the main complex, allowing for plenty of traditional ledge-clinging, running, jumping, level-pulling, and puzzle-solving.

2. You start searching for the 5 14th century paintings that are critical to the over-arching story.

3. These paintings hide hidden clues to an ancient group -The Nephilim- .

4. Lara will uncover the involvement of the apparent villain Eckhardt. and is rumored to meet kurtis at this point in the game.

Second location:

1. Traveling to Prague, and it's atmospheric Strahov Complex. This is where the action kicks up.

2. You get to control Kurtis at this point.

3. Rumored that both Lara and Kurtis will be working together to solve puzzles simular to Cores Project Eden.

4. Both Kurtis and Lara will have access to the usual arsenal. Big hardware is said to be in the works. Kurtis will be using a disk-like weapon which holds 5 glaves, and has limited telekinetic powers.

5. Boss monster is encountered sporting numerous limbs for mulitiple attacks.

6. Gameplay enemies seen thus far, Large bug like creatures, mutant beings.

6. It has been rumored there are absolutely NO vehicles in AOD.
While viewing Captain Alban's Tomb Raider site I came across a interesting interview he had with Jeremy Smith. One question he asked that doesn't read to clear is if AOD will have vehicles, answered replied by Smith....."Perhaps"

That's it for now, but I'll keep you updated on any new information I stumble apon. Source PC Gamer March 2002

DaveJ, you always seem to complain about anything reminiscent of classic tomb raiding! It's almost like you want a tomb radier game with no connections to the original whatsoever, except that Lara is in it.
I dont think any game could exist without jumping, at least...and ledges, well, if you're an adventurer you're bound to come across at least one :|

Very true.
I'll let you in on a secret.
I am trying not to get my hopes up about the new game.

I see a lot of people here getting very excited at every tidbit of info that gets sneaked out about AoD.....which is very sweet.

But I have seen nothing yet that says "innovation" like the original game did in its time. I see a lot of Metal gear/Silent Hill influences, but nothing yet that is gonna get other game developers jumping on this bandwagon.

I want it to be great.
I want it to put Tomb Raider back in pole position where it was before.

But I haven't seen anything other than a new lick of paint yet.
I'm sure Core are keeping the best under wraps, but I hope a lot of people here aren't setting themselves up for a huge disappointment.

I know many will play anything that has the TR logo on it, but they are bound to become a dwindling bunch as other gamers become more discerning.

Fingers crossed, eh?

Dear member,
Check your PM.

And I was not asking for more, I was pointing out that there is something missing. Like the credits and, for people who don't want to know anything about the game before they play it, the friendly hint 'Spoiler'. I was just trying to help.

I know wot u mean DaveJ, but I think fans are just eager to play more TR, more Lara. I wouldnt just play a game because it has a TR logo. I like tomb raiding and adventure-style games. Im not really looking for AoD to be smth totally original and innovative, just as long as it stays true to TR and Lara.
fingers crossed indeed :D

No!

We exist to smash our enemies!
And to scatter their entrails before them!
