The short version
- It's the sixth instalment in a series of 'behind-the-scenes' videos chronicling the making of the upcoming remake, which is being developed by Flying Wild Hog.
- This latest video shows us some previously unknown elements of the game, and they mark a pretty big departure from the original 1996 title.
- Legacy of Atlantis' "fiery, fabulous and fit" incarnation of Lara has been designed to feel agile and dangerous.
What happened
She also comes with a 'focus' meter that fills as you deal damage, take damage, and dodge attacks. 'Focus' allows you to slow down time around you and engage in acrobatic maneuvers that feel good "on the sticks". "We have four weapons in the game, and each weapon is focused on different playstyles, [for] different distances from your enemies," explains Marcin Steliga, senior system designer at the studio.
Why it matters
The devs go on to detail how the shotgun, SMGs, and assault rifle will complement the dual pistols in different situations.
