"Tomb Raider: Underworld - Lara's Shadow will introduce players to a new kind of playable character..."
That's what Eidos are saying. But why a "new kind" of playable character? What's wrong with just saying a new playable character? Me thinks something maybe afoot...
Anyone else find it a bit sus?

It's only related to DLC so it doesn't bother me.
''new kind of playable character'' doesn't sound like its necessarily a person, could be a doppleganger(probably horribly spelled that) or something.
Anyhow people are getting too worked up about it, its only DLC and doesn't effect Underworld at all really, just something extra after your finished with the actual game.

It's just the fact that they've used the term "a new kind", makes it sound like it's not just an extra playable character, like there's more to it.
This is for the Xbox 360 isn't it?
I dunno I guess it makes sense to just call a new playable character just that. ;)
Being 'sus' depends on the character, maybe. Wonder who it is?
*shudders at the thought of possibilities*

For all we know, it could be a velociraptor or something -- then it'd be more than a character. I think this is interesting, I hope we get to read/see more of it in time.

Maybe you can play as one of the animals. You'll have to run away from Lara while she is trying to shoot your arse. That way you'll realize what it's like to be an endangered species. :nut:
Boycott fur, ivory and everything else that required the murdering of innocent and helpless animals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like an outfit you'll unlock? If so, then who cares, it won't affect the game, it's just an outfit.

its just an add on to Underworld with extra playable levels, it doesn't affect the storyline at all Raiderx and has no huge significance to it. That's why I tell people that its no big deal.
It's not a big deal because others on wii,ps2,ps3,pc don't have it, thats not it at all and if people thinks thats what ive been saying then they're mistaken.
I'm saying its just not that big of a deal BECAUSE it doesn't have any impact on the story at all and its just a couple extra levels.

A new 'kind' of playable character doesn't even sound like another playable character other than Lara to me. Lets look at what was said;
'"Tomb Raider: Underworld - Lara's Shadow will introduce players to a new kind of playable character..."
The 'shadow' to me seems to be metaphorical, meaning that darker edge to Lara namely that determination to reach her goals she seems to have in this game that makes her slightly more dangerous. This is what will make lara 'a new kind of playable character.'
well i think so anyway!

oh ok, then yeah it's no big deal since it doesn't affect the storyline and they don't have to download it.
It's like the Croft Manor in TRL and TRA was technically a level but it didn't affect the storyline, so it will be something like that, it's for the 360? If it is I'll get it if it's free, because I don't have any points to buy anything anyways.:D
I highly doubt that we're going to play any other character than Lara, so don't worry.

I'm not going to make any guesses as to what this new kind of playable character is, simply because I honestly don't have a clue. However, I am glad that it is being introduced into the series.
It may be DLC, but it certainly shows that Eidos and CD are considering the potential of another playable character within the series...I'm sure if this new character becomes popular enough or is successful within its own spinoff extra...then they just might incorporate it/him/her within the canon and lore of the main series.
Personally, I like what they're doing and even more excited by the possibilities it might bring forth.

Yeah its not going to have any sort of impact on the main game and its just extra add on levels to play around with.
It will probably cost microsoft points. Not sure how many.
and also the playable character, CD/EIDOS's wont stretch it too much, if anything it will probably either be another version of Lara like someone else said somewhere about a darker side of Lara or probably one of the characters from the actual Underworld game itself.

This just might be my flights of fanboy fancy...but I'm actually hoping it's a significant character, that they could introduce into the main story line.
Even though it's titled "Lara's Shadow" I don't think it'll be anything as literal as her darker-side or her actual shadow (or at least I hope not...that'd be kind of cliche in my opinion).
Perhaps it might be someone who is trailing Lara...somone who is possibly keeping track of her every move and following unbeknownst to Lara herself? Maybe an admirer? An aspiring Raider? A new rival? This is all just speculation...but I certainly hope it's something along the lines of another person that is following and tracking her; shadowing her if you will. It could certainly have the potential of adding to the main story...and I hope that's what Eidos and CD are trying to do.

That would be cool, but I don't think the DLC will have a huge impact on the main story. If it did then it would be released on all systems/platforms. Even I couldn't agree with CD/EIDOS releasing something like that.
But its seems like its an extra add on for people to play if they see it, not ''play this to find out what happens!'' type DLC

True indeed...I know it most likely won't affect anything in terms of the main story line.
If it were the case that this new character could have an impact, then Eidos and CD are most likely using this DLC option to test if the new character might have legs of its own and quite possibly add to the main story...if fans like it that is. Which I personally think is smart...seeing as how a lot of fans have already expressed an extreme to mild aversion for Kurtis Trent (personally, I like him).
At least that's what I'm hoping for. It's all speculation, but the DLC excites me regardless.

the more kurtis's you take out the higher the score :D

It sounds to me like it could be using the Xbox360 players like 'lab rats', to test their reaction to this new kind of playable character, for introduction later into the series. That way, if it flops, then it was only DLC on the '360.
and also the playable character, CD/EIDOS's wont stretch it too much, if anything it will probably either be another version of Lara like someone else said somewhere about a darker side of Lara or probably one of the characters from the actual Underworld game itself.
I think because it's only on one platform, and isn't so important, they'd be allowed to stretch it a bit.

I don't know, I don't think they'll stretch it ''too far'', I think they generally know or should know, no one gives a rats butt about another playable character in the Tomb Raider world,especially after how Kurtis was received previously by fans.
I think it will be someone to just use for the heck of it, since it is dlc, its not a mandatory thing and won't be forced to have to play this character in the main story, which is good because THEN I'd be mad if I was forced to play as another character in the main story other than Lara :lol:

Another playable character? I'm not so sure that's what they mean by a "new kind of playable character". If it were the case, CD would parade it around, "yay, we've got a character as interesting as Lara"...
It says another kind of playable character. I take this to mean another type of playable character... I suppose then you'd need to know what a kind of playable character was...
I'd still think they'd use this to try something dynamic and interesting, as a test before they put it in across all platforms. It makes sense to show it to a broader audience, rather than just people in-house. It's win-win that way. If it's a flop then it was an interesting DLC... if Xbox players love it then it'll be something to put into the next TR game. (CD would do it carefully enough, I believe, so as to not ruin it for the fans... whatever they want to do.)

Well given how well a new playable character was receive last time (Kurtis) *Lauahs* I think they don't want to parade it around like its the next thing since sliced bread. Especially if your name is Crytal Dynamics. :scratch: Can you explain what DLC is please RG?

Given the success of Kurtis, I'd think CD would wait till they had an AMAZING character before even considering putting it in a game. Although it won't matter if this DLC fails... they'd make it with the serious hope that it will pass approval of the Xbox360 community... not just as a laugh to have fans and gamers lower their expectations of CD.
DLC is DownLoadableContent... additions made to the game not included as a part of the developed package, to be downloaded by players (typically across the internet...)

Oh, well as long as we the customer have a choice. DLC versions of KT wouldn't bother me. I would just not download him. To bad its only for 360. Why is Eidos giving more options to the 360 version? By now I'm sure microsoft is coming out with a new XBOX. Mos tlikely with a blu-ray player. If I were Eidos I'd use the PS3 as a bridge till the next XBOX arrives

I think EIDOS went with 360 for the DLC mainly because of how well the xbox 360 is going to sell during the holidays, with the 360 now being $199, they're assuming alot of people are going to be buying 360 consoles and hopefully get interested in Tomb Raider, so they're banking on trying to get as much out of it as possible.
Also yeah its been rumored that theres PS4/new Xbox in the making all ready so who knows.

"Lara's Shadow" was a term used to describe Kurtis Trent in the Making of AOD. He was trailing her and tracking her. Though, it's probably just a coincidence with the name. Eidos hasn't shown any interest in going there again.
I'd bet decent money that the character is Amanda. Which I'm not excited about in the slightest.

Nah, the word "new", and the phrase "kind of playable character" lead me to think it's not just an amanda outfit... Playing the story through the eyes of the antagonist would be interesting, though... (We'd finally see how they manage to unlock the doors and evade the traps)

10-31-2008, 08:04 PM
For the sake of novelty....
I would imagine after Legend that Lara would want to keep Amanda on a short leash, since she mentioned from then on Amanda's very breath was a gift from her or something....:scratch: Would prove interesting game play, if every time we played as Amanda our goal was not so much to aid Lara as it would be to thwart her. But how would Amanda defend herself, she doesn't look like a hands on type fighter.

Multiplayer would rock my world. A Tomb Raider game that was designed to be played by two people, with puzzles than can only be solved by two people simultaneously - that sounds great.
I always wanted a Flashback / Tomb Raider crossover game, designed for two players.

Maybe "Lara's shadow" is the one that blew up Croft Manor in the first trailer? It would be interesting to see how that came about. Maybe it's a dark clone or even Amanda in disguise :)
It would be nice to have another playable character in the game, but hopefully with unique moves and not copy & paste them all from Lara**** .

Nope, and the battle with Boaz was supposed to give Kurtis some new abilities to play with. Getting skewered by giant mutant spiders does that. :lol:
I hope it's either a new character or Kurtis. There's a possiblity of the character being Amanda and she's too much of a whiny teenager for my tastes.

It is someone who has spent his entire career in Lara's shadow...
Alister! :eek:
With Excalibur!
He's a "new kind" of character because unlike other game characters, he is scared to death of anything remotely dangerous. He spends every battle screaming with his eyes closed and swinging Excalibur wildly around his head.
Actually, what I really think is...
The Doppelganger seems the most obvious. Especially now that she is sort of confirmed. Maybe the "new kind of character" part refers to her shape shifting or some otherworldly ability?

Eidos is trying to confuse us all by saying "a new kind of playable character" :rolleyes: .I think what they mean is that we're going to play a character through Lara(personally i think Amanda)what I mean is that somehow Amanda is going to take the form of Lara and hypothetically we will be playing a new character :D !!

Maybe "Lara's shadow" is the one that blew up Croft Manor in the first trailer? It would be interesting to see how that came about. Maybe it's a dark clone or even Amanda in disguise :)
It would be nice to have another playable character in the game, but hopefully with unique moves and not copy & paste them all from Lara**** .
I agree with you :D :D !! Cause if you have noticed the trailers,the first trailer shows Lara blowing up the Croft Manor and in another trailer you see her inside the Manor trying to escape!! So she couldn't be the one who blew up the Manor!! It might be Amanda, because in the trailer she threatened Allister and Zip something the real Lara wouldn't do!!!

Lara's shadow, that could perhaps be one of those ghost things, so, perhaps, you just need to beat other people ghosts, or shadows in the levels by doing it quickly.

I wonder... could there be some deeper reason why "Lara's Shadow" a Microsoft exclusive...?

had any of you thought that maybe the clues "Laras Shadow" and "New Kind Of Playable Character" could maybe mean that the charachter is the player? I mean who else would be laras shadow other than the person playing the game, the person that follows behind her the whole time! Hopefully it wont be a 3rd person perspective, with us only being able to see laras arms though! Perhaps it will have something to do with the new character creator on xbox live, like in Wii games, you can use your own characters in games!

ANSWER:
SPOILER:
You play as the doppleganger-
the reason they say "new kind"is because the dopple ganger is the ****!!! lol she has super human abilities....well shes not even human in the first place but you know what i mean. super strength and can jumper super high. she has a few more tricks too, but dont wanna give it all away. honestly...i kinda prefer the doppleganger over lara...yeah i know shame on me **** lol but in the game she kicks laras ass hardcore. lol twice!!!!

People?
Its being released to the xbox live marketplace and it is obviously not going to 'just' be a new character. This is Microsoft we're dealing with here, they will not pay eidos millions just for a shoddy new skin to play with, it will be so much more than that.
Im beginning to think that you will play as one of the enemies and play an enemy story, similar to playing spiderman as the green goblin
I can't wait till christmas when this is released!!
( Sorry if i came off a bit 'in your face' there.. lol)
Yes. I'm scared of a Kurtis repeat. :eek: :nut: :(
as much as i would like... kurtis isn't going to be in Lara's Shadow i don't think. i think probably lara's doppleganger will be playable in that one... how cool would that be? ;)
