Story Revisions (or what got cut from the game). Possible Spoilers + Pics.

[TombRaider288]

I've bought the game guide already and found these story revisons in it:


"Just like the rest of the game, the story evolved throughout pre-production. In the first version, as a bridge to Tomb Raider: Legend, we had Professor Peter Eddington in the story as a character. Rather than being the same age as Lara's father, we made him in his mid-thirities, and we gave him a niece, Jessica, whom he was caring for after the death of her parents. We also had an additional artifact, the Eye of Odin, which resembled an articulated metal snake that wraps around your neck and head and had various powers. We wanted this artifact to attack Jessica and posses her, and the problem of freeing the artifact from the girl would be part of Lara's journey, and what brings her to the Artic at the end.


We cut these elements from the story primarily because it was overly complicated, and we simplified the story by keeping the motivations attached to Natla's plan and the associated involvements of Amanda and Lara's Doppleganger. This also saved us the trouble of steering away from any misconceptions that Lara and Peter had a relationship, and also the burden of having a little girl character in the game not come off as annoying. This is possible, given the right voice actress, but it was a relief to make the story more concise and appropriate to the pace of the game.


Because these cuts were made in pre-production, we had already concepted both Peter Eddington and Jessica, and that's what you see here"


Eric Lindstrom, Creative Director.


I also scanned these pic's of the pages for you guys:

Would have loved to see those two in the game, but foremost I would have loved to see the Eye of Odin, looks great and I guess it would have been a pretty powerfull artefact

[Wess~Gamer]

That niece looks so cool!
too bad she and the professor aren't in the game..
I can see why it would be to complicated.
though I love complicated, it lets me think

[Brambo111]

Agreed, it looks cool, especially the artifact
But on the other hand, this story has got some surprises then.. at least I think so

[MissCroft88]

maybe they appear in the next TR game with the Eye of Odin artifact a new artifact for Lara

[lilhanhan]

Aww, Jessica looks so sweet and innocent (well, in the images were she's not possessed). ^.^;

Hehe, she also has the same dress sense as me! O.O

[My dog Max]

Lara in the first image with that artifact wrapped around her looks like a fairy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PhilippKausch]

And the possessed Jessica looks like a pretty powerful sorceress

[Load]

Aw, I would have loved to see them in the game! (: I wouldnt have found Jessica annoying, and I think it would be cool to see a younger person involved in the game.

Maybe we'll see them in the future? c: Who knows!

Maybe in a DLC, at least those guys with a XBOX

Yeah that's what I was thinking it might end up being.
I'm such a loser, I bought an X-Box just for DLC.

[gizmo]

Wow I never knew that there original idea in the game was to include two additional extras
Thanks TombRaider288

[damagedfactions]

I think the girl with the spunky attitude would of made it a bit too cartoony though. More kim possible than Tomb raider

[tombraiderlaracroft1]
