“L’idea di un gioco incentrato sul mondo coinvolge la concezione che questo sia in costante cambiamento, che abbia un suo percorso. Le giornate del gioco si comporranno di cicli di ventiquattro ore effettive, che daranno al giocatore la sensazione del tempo che scorre, e l’impellenza di andare a giocare contenuti che non saranno sempre lì ad aspettarli.”

Ad aggiungere ulteriori dettagli è intervenuto anche lead designer Yujii Abe, il quale ha voluto propriamente soffermarsi su questo particolare dichiarando “vogliamo che alla seconda run i giocatori esclamino cose come ‘oh, non sapevo nemmeno che questo potesse accadere!'”

Non ci resta che attendere ulteriori sviluppi e vedere qualcosa in movimento, vi terremo aggiornati ….

Sull’argomento è intervenuto Karl Stewart, global brand director del gioco, il quale ha risposto su Twitter alle domande dei tanti fan del gioco, svelando qualche dettaglio inedito fino ad oggi.

Sicuramente il punto più interessante è la longevità del gioco che si aggirerà sulla media delle recenti produzioni action quindi dalle 12 alle 15 ore che potranno essere aumentate in caso il giocatore volesse scoprire tutti i segreti nascosti. Capitolo segreti importante, il team ne inserirà parecchi per cui sarà una sfida trovarli tutti.

La salute di Lara si rigenererà in maniera automatica con una barra della salute ; diciamo addio quindi al glorioso e mitico Med-Kit che ha fatto la storia della serie Tomb Raider.

Lara potrebbe inoltre nuotare però è stato chiarito come in questo capitolo non è previsto lo faccia perchè letteralmente “Non ne ha bisogno”.

Il reboot della serie prevede l’uscita anche di sequel se il successo riscosso in termini di vendite sarà soddisfacente.

Non sappiamo quindi se alla fine di queste novità possiamo definirle Grandi novità però indubbiamente l’attesa di questo titolo è decisamente elevatissima qui su PlaystationLife, e voi? fatecelo sapere sui nostri canali di discussione!!!!

I problemi riguardano tanto la modalità Multiplayer quanto la modalità giocatore singolo.

Vi riportiamo di seguito l’elenco ufficiale rilasciato (in inglese purtroppo ma facilmente comprensibile…), vi invitiamo però a non leggere le parti riguardante il single player se ancora non avete giocato e finito il gioco in quanto potreste ritrovarvi qualche anticipazione.

Non che la cosa desti più di tanto clamore, del resto noi utenti console siamo da sempre poco abituati a vedere titoli con server dedicati, ma la scelta in casa Ubisoft ha scatenato sul  web l’ira soprattutto degli utenti PC, mentre in molti altri vedono questa scelta come una scarsa fiducia riposta già dalla casa di produzione sul nuovo titolo.

In attesa di vedere poi quale sarà l’effettivo risultato finale di tale decisione, ci limitiamo solamente a riportarvi la notizia… e lasciare a voi i commenti…

“Tale violazione invalida il diritto di accesso al sistema da parte dell’utente, gli utenti che utilizzano software non autorizzato o pirata potrebbero ottenere un’esclusione permanente a PlayStation Network e ai servizi del Sony Entertainment Network”

Il rilascio della demo è fissata per mercoledì prossimo ovvero il 21 Novembre per PS3 sul suolo Europeo, mentre per X-Box 360 sarà disponibile il 20 Novembre, in pratica nei giorni di manutenzione .

Vi ricordo che il titolo sarà disponibile dal 15 Gennaio 2013.
