Core has also said that it has found a new way to program FMV sequences. In-game levels will now seamlessly dissolve into full-motion video cutscenes, and the load screens have been removed, providing a solution for those PlayStation owners so used to annoying, 20-30 second load screens.
Although the game still looks and plays similarly to its predecessors, Core has changed the gameplay focus in Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, surrounding it around more puzzle solving and less running and jumping. In fact, Core has said it wants "to go back to its roots," making Tpmb Raider IV more like the very first game, which received universal applause from critics and gamers alike.
In yet another addition, Core redesigned the inventory system. Gamers can not only stock up on items, but now, they can combine them. Core explains that this new feature adds more depth to the game and has increased the difficulty in the game's riddles and puzzles.
Now to answer the most important question... "Will there be any changes to Lara's look?" Core has completely redesigned Lara's look -- Lara is now naked. I kidding! Seriously, Core claims that Lara will look better than ever, including smoother skin textures and few new moves. No nude code has been announced.
Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation is being developed by Core and is scheduled to be released November 1999.
