TR
on Dreamcast?
Here is the
news, and no, this is not a lie. After leaving Core early last year
Toby Gard and Paul Douglas, part of the
development
team that worked on Tomb Raider, founded Confounding Factor. Their new
development
team has been hard at work trying to complete a 3D action game for the
PC titled Galleon. The game is a pirate adventure that so far looks very
impressive.
Recently
there have been reports that the development team is considering porting
Galleon to the Dreamcast, as well as Tomb Raider. Whether they will split
their team in half to work on the game for the two platforms is still
unknown. |
What
this means for TR fans
You've heard
the facts. But what does this have to do with TR? Just look
at the PSX2 Stats! TR will MOST likely be released for PSX2, in some
form or other. And when it is, hold on tight. Faster graphics,
sharper images, improved scenery, reality, and much more! Hey, how
bout network play? And with the graphics chip, you'll be smooth sailing!
Lets hope PSX2 comes out soon, so we can enjoy TR in a more realisic, engufing
world.
