Interviews and Podcasts

Earlier today it was announce that there will be a new Official Tomb Raider podcast about Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light:

I'll be recording it with Daniel Neuburger (Creative Director) and the lovely Forest Large (Producer). We'll be discussing things like how the project came about, the inspiration behind it, the challenges, the key roles in the team, the high points, the low points in the project, what the delivered food is like, etc, etc.

So generally speaking in a general sense this one is pretty general. If you have any general questions about the LCGoL project on a general level, here's your chance to ask the key people responsible. Just include your question in this thread and I'll see if I can get it answered. If you'd like to record your question and link me to a recording of your voice that I could include in the podcast that'd be AWESOME!

I'll be recording the podcast the middle of next week all being well.

Visit the Eidos Forum thread for more details. CLICK HERE.

There is also a Interview that fans can submit questions for. Kam Yu, is the senior artist at Crystal Dynamics. The interview will be posted up next week. CLICK HERE to submit a question through the Eidos forums.

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light Preview Event

Have you ever wanted to go to Crystal Dynamics and play the upcoming TR before the release?

Well now you can. Keir (Community Manager ) posted on the Tomb Raider Forums and Official Eidos forums:

While I'm here in lovely San Francisco, I'd love to be able to invite you along to the studio to have a play on LCGoL before it's released. It's important to stress nothing is organised yet and this thread is purely to gauge things so I can see if there's enough interest and can work out what kind of format the day(s) could take. I'm looking at doing something before the 360 release, next month.

Is there anyone that can make it to Redwood City that would be interested in coming along and playing the game, meeting some of the team and scoffing some free pizza? Would you be able to make it on a weekday? You could of course bring a friend or parent.

(Sorry to the entire rest of the world that doesn't live in Northern California).
