Yet another post about this weekend’s “Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light” confusion.

Crystal Dynamics’ information policy makes it really hard to understand what’s going on in Croft Manor. As an positive effect CD made some big headlines, though almost every Tomb Raider fansite i saw only stated unconfirmed or wrong information – including mxm.

Even most professional online game magazines still post wrong facts about Tomb Raider 9 and LCatGoL! This leads to a disappointed fanbase and big loads of comment trolling. Lady Croft won’t be amused.

I hope the following statement will help to stop the confusion:

The game announced as “Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light” IS NOT “Tomb Raider 9″.

Crystal Dynamics has not pushed out any information about Tomb Raider 9 yet. They only speak mysteriously about a second project they are already working on.

I might be right that LCatGoL is more or less a side product to build a bridge between Underworld and TR9, make the waiting time more entertaining for the fans and help Lara to jump onto the front pages more often.

If you have a TR-Fansite or even are a pro magazine editor i highly recommend to follow CrystalDynamics on twitter (of course you should follow me as well).

This is an update to my yesterday’s post “Tomb Raider 9: Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light“…

Some new screenshots and a First-Look post on gamespot have been released in the meantime. Thanks to @fylaracroft for mentioning it.

It seems that LCatGoL is not meant to be the next real Tomb Raider sequel. To me it looks more like a promotional mini game or something like that. Hard to believe that i shall open my purse for it…

Last summer i posted a few images that seemed to be mistakenly published concept art from the upcoming Tomb Raider 9. It was also stated that the series would try many new things, untypical for Lara Croft, like an open-world scenario for example…

The rumors are no rumors, they’re real!

Game developer studios Crystal Dynamics confirmed the production of “Lara Croft And The Guardian Of Light“, the next Tomb Raider sequel…

Here it is, the first Monday of a new decade. I hope everybody of you had a good sliding start into 2010.

My task manager is already filled up to the roof, many exciting things are waiting to be explored, many sexy projects are going to be finalized, new virtual worlds will be discovered… and when i think of all the beer i will drink in 2010 – it makes me smile…

But what about the things i don’t want to see this year? What are the things that get on my nerves, that make me feel dumb and dull or simply speechless?
