Peterg14 tr anniversary:

[[Image:Winston.jpg|thumb|right|113px|Winston]] '''Winston''' is Lara's [[Butler]] in the games.

It seems that the name '''Jeeves''' has been given to him by the fans, while the creators at [[Core Design]] decided to call him Winston.

But this might also be wrong. I could not find a reliable source telling me how exactly he came to the name ''Jeeves''. If you know something, please use the discussion page.

You can meet him in the [[Trainings Level|Trainings Levels]] in Tomb Raider 1 to 3 ([[Lara's Home]]) and in the [[Golden Mask]] level [[Nightmare in Vegas]]. 

<h3>Locking Winston in the Fridge</h3>
A fun game that was very popular among the fans was locking Winston in the fridge. In Lara's Home Level you have to run into the kitchen. Open the fridge by using the button. Get inside the fridge and wait for Winston to appear. Then quickly run out leaving him and shut the door again.

In [[Tomb Raider Legend]] Winston is back. He looks taller and much younger than in the previous games.

Tomb raider anniversary
As you all no winston was not in tomb raider 1 but he will be in tomb raider anniversary and the man who is doing his voice is Alan Shearman who also do winstons voice in tomb raider legend.

===from the official Site===
Winston is Lara's butler, and he has served the Crofts for most of his life. He's calm, sophisticated, unflappable, and knows more about Lara and her doings than anyone. He worries about her but he knows ho capable she is, and he does nothing to dissuade her from her life's pursuit, and indeed he's just as willing to fetch 9mm ammunition as he is to set out tea service, and he will even toss a few spare ammo clips into her bag without her asking.

'''Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary''' is a game that is currently being made to celebrate Tomb Raider's 10th anniversary. At first it was supposed to be a [[PSP]] game made by [[Core Design]], but this was cancelled. Shortly later Eidos Interactive announced that the game was back on track, now being completed by [[Crystal Dynamics]] and will come out on [[PC]] and [[PlayStation 2]] as well as [[PSP]]. So far it has not been stated, if the [[Unfinished Business]]-part will be included.

It is likely, that the [[Croft Mansion]] will also be back in Anniversary, as it was a success in [[Tomb Raider Legend]] and dearly missed in [[The Angel of Darkness]] and the later games of the first generation.

==Release Dates & Platforms==
It has been officially confirmed that the game will be released in May [[2007]]. (It is possible that the PSP Version will be released some time after the PC and PS2 Versions.

==Levels==
N/A (yet) It is likely, that the levels will not be exactly as in the original [[Tomb Raider]].

==About the Game==
The adventure begins when Lara is hired by a powerful syndicate to retrieve a mythical object called the Scion. As Lara searches ancient tombs and isolated worlds that have lain undisturbed for thousands of years, she discovers that she is not alone. Not only has she awoken their fearsome guardians but there are others desperate to learn the Scion’s dark secrets.

Celebrate and commemorate ten years of Tomb Raider and Lara Croft with Tomb Raider: Anniversary, a new action adventure inspired by the original Tomb Raider video game, one of the greatest action adventure games of all time. 
(Source: official Site)

===Content===
The Anniversary Edition is going to be a remake of the 1st [[Tomb Raider]] game but with better graphics and difficult puzzles.

===Features===
The story will be told using more cut scenes than 10 years ago.

* ''Play the living Lara Croft''
: the world’s greatest action heroine of all time – use all of Lara’s guile, latest fluid movements, athleticism and gadgets in her quest to conquer the unknown and uncover ancient artifacts.

* ''Explore uncharted and mysterious worlds''
: enter into strange, undiscovered lands and solve their deepest, darkest mysteries, open doors to new realms, uncover great rewards and unearth secrets to Lara’s past.

* ''Includes classic environments from the original [[Tomb Raider]] as never experienced before''
: [[Crystal Dynamics]] latest technology allows you to fluidly manoeuvre Lara using her latest moves and [[gear]], through all the worlds from the original; Peru, Greece, Egypt and more. The dynamic world allows multiple playthrough options and also opens up new places and ways to explore.

*''startling enemy encounters''
: Encounter fierce animal and supernatural enemies, wolves, bears, crocodiles, horrific monsters and of course, the T Rex. New and improved AI means that all enemies will exhibit a more diverse behaviour set, providing improved combat challenges for the player.

*''directors commentary''
:The original Tomb Raider game designer, Toby Gard and Tomb Raider: Anniversary’s Game Director Jason Botta from Crystal Dynamics, provides an unlockable commentary on how this game was made, with some previously undisclosed secrets from Toby about the original Tomb Raider game.

===Gameplay===
The environments in Tomb Raider Anniversary are much more interactive: Lara can use them for lots of things, pick up a piece of wood on the ground and use it as a ladder. Puzzles are more complicated than in [[Tomb Raider Legend]]. There is no clue or sparkling thing to show you where to go.

There is more than one way to explore the environments and complete a level. You can choose the acrobatic way, or the easier way.

Fighting enemies is still an important part of the game: the beast are much more realistic and their [[AI]] has really been improved. They are more dangerous than before, they develop a real strategy to kill you. For example the [[raptors]] run around Lara in circles until they are enough to jump at her and attack her.

==Story==

==Locations==

* [[England]], [[Surrey]] (Lara's home)
* [[Peru]] (TRA information available)

====First Aid Items====
* [[Small Medipack]]
* [[Large Medipack]]

====Other Gear====
* [[Grapple]]

===Secrets===
It was announced that there will be lots of secrets in this game and that finding one will be accompanied by a secret sound.

===Outfits===
Lara will have her classical braid, not the hair of [[Tomb Raider Legend]]. She will wear her [[Classic Outfit|Classic green Outfit]] and maybe more. Several costumes might be unlockable, like in Tomb Raider Legend. Journalists from the PSM3 magazine were able to see the swimsuit costume from Tomb Raider II during a press demonstration of Tomb Raider: Anniversary.Also the catsuit may by unlockable

===Vehicles===

Eidos' Message to the Tomb Raider Community
Eidos is pleased to announce some special news directly to the Tomb Raider
community.
The official name of the next Tomb Raider game is Lara Croft Tomb Raider:
Anniversary, and the first screenshot is going straight to where it matters most - the
people who have supported Lara across the years.
As most of you may already know, Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a revitalized version
of the original adventure that started it all. This game is more than just a remake; it
is a celebration of Lara Croft and the history of the Tomb Raider franchise.
One would need to be blind to not see the impact that Lara Croft has had, both on
gaming in general, as well as pop-culture. She is a character that people connect
with, a character that transcends the media in which she was originally presented.
However, Lara's rise to fame didn't just magically happen. There has been a very
powerful, dedicated fan base that has not only tracked her every move over the last
10 years, but helped transform her from being just a video game character, to an
international digital celebrity.
Every time a new Tomb Raider game has been released, the fans have asked for a
remake of the original. Tomb Raider: Anniversary is our answer. This game is for
the fans. It only makes sense that the first information, as well as much more to
come, goes directly to the fans. We hope you enjoy the screenshot, and keep your
eye out for more information soon...

====October 2006====
Eidos Celebrates with Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Inspired by the original Tomb Raider comes a totally new Lara adventure

Eidos Interactive Ltd., one of the world's leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, today confirms that the next Tomb Raider game will be entitled Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary and is set for release on PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable (PSP) and PC in 2007.

Inspired by the first Tomb Raider videogame, originally released in 1996, LARA CROFT TOMB RAIDER: ANNIVERSARY is a totally new 2006 adventure for Lara, faithfully preserving the elements which made the original Tomb Raider such a classic, selling over 7 million copies worldwide. Using an enhanced 'Tomb Raider: Legend' game engine, the graphics, technology, physics and engine bring Lara's adventure and pursuit of a mystical artefact known only as the Scion right up to today's technology standards and will offer gamers a completely new gameplay experience.

"Over the years we have had literally thousands of requests to re-make the original Tomb Raider for today's gamer, we have gone a step further, we have taken the original story and made a completely new version for Tomb Raider: Anniversary." said Kathryn Clements, Senior Brand Manager, Eidos. "We are re-telling an incredible story using today’s technology, we've taken all of the key moments from the original game and put them into the context of a brand new Tomb Raider adventure which will make fans of the franchise extremely happy but also attract a completely new audience."

"We've captured the essence of what made the original game so special and with today's technology, created a game that pushes the boundaries of the current gaming consoles. Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a special celebration of Lara's reign as videogaming's leading lady" said Ian Livingstone, Eidos.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary is currently in development by Crystal Dynamics and will be available in 2007 on PlayStation 2, PSP and PC

==Internet Rumours==
Unfinished business might be included (unconfirmed)

Also, a video has recently come out on the internet showing the animation of the [[T-Rex]] and of [[Larson]] when it apparently was not supposed to be. This is a genuine video showing the T-Rex's animations alongside the velociraptors and bears and the animations of Larson. Crystal Dynamics and Eidos have not meant for this video to come out. It was put online on the animation artist's website and from there reached other Tomb Raider Fansites as well as youtube. It was quickly and inexplicably removed, although it has been confirmed that this video has been banned on the internet.

Jacqueline Natla

2007-02-27T20:51:17Z

Peterg14 tr anniversary:

'''Jacqueline Natla''' is a character from [[Tomb Raider 1]]. She hired Lara to find an ancient artefact, the [[Scion]]. She sent her to [[Peru]] in search for the first part. Afterward, she sent Larson to kill her and Pierre to [[St. Francis Folly]] to find the other pieces. Lara managed to outwit these two baddies and find the third piece (hidden in the [[City of Khamoon]] ) but Natla and her last three henchmen stole the pieces from Lara and assembled the pieces together.

Natla is the final boss of Tomb Raider 1. When you encounter her in The Great Pyramid she has red Atlantean wings and she blasts fire balls at Lara. When Natla is down to half of her health she will play dead, but will then carry on fighting until all of her health is gone. Miss Jacqueline Natla will for sure make a retun to tomb raider anniversary and the woman who is doing the voice over is Jennifer Hale.

Jacqueline Natla is the boss of [[Natla Technologies]].

She is an [[Atlantean]] and landed in [[Los Alamos]], [[New Mexico]].

Peterg14 tr anniversary:

[[Image:Larson.jpg|thumb|113px|right|Larson (TR5)]]
'''Larson''' is a character from [[Tomb Raider I]] and [[Chronicles]]. The name Larson, coupled with the character's blond hair, suggests Scandinavian heritage, although Larson himself speaks with a Texan accent. He is portrayed as being something of a halfwit, which [[Pierre DuPont|Pierre]] attributes to the fact that Larson was "kicked in the head by a horse" at some point in his life.

Like [[Pierre DuPont]], Larson appears to be killed off in both games he appears in. This lack of continuity on the part of both characters has led to disputes in the Tomb Raider community over which game comes first in the Tomb Raider time line.

==Tomb Raider==

In Tomb Raider, Larson is one of [[Jacqueline Natla]]'s henchmen. After the initial meeting with [[Lara Croft|Lara]] in [[Calcutta]] at the start of the game, Larson appears in [[Tomb Of Qualopec]], both as an in-game enemy, and in the post-level cutscene. After a brief exchange between the two (concerning the [[Scion]] and the whereabouts of [[Pierre DuPont]]), Larson is knocked out by [[Lara Croft|Lara]] when he makes a grab for his gun.

[[Sanctuary of the Scion]] sees the third and final appearance of Larson. Guarding the second part of the Scion, players are expected to shoot him dead (although can leave him alive if they wish, as is the case with most enemies in [[Tomb Raider]]).

In [[Tomb Raider]], Larson wears a red shirt, blue jeans and brown boots. He also wears a unbuttoned brown vest in the first FMV. His weapon is a [[handgun]] with a [[lasersight]] attached.

Larson was the first character ever to speak in a Tomb Raider game.

==Tomb Raider Chronicles==

In Tomb Raider Chronicles, Larson appears in the first two levels of [[Rome]], the first story of the game. Larson is working with [[Pierre DuPont]] to gain possession of an artefact that [[Lara Croft|Lara]] is also in pursuit of.

Larson appears in the pre-story FMV, and also four cutscenes; two in [[Streets of Rome]] and two in [[Trajan's Markets]]. As well as this, Larson is included as an in-game enemy several times. Although [[Lara Croft|Lara]] has quite a few shots at killing him, Larson is finally (and debatably) finished off after being tossed about by a dragon gargoyle.

Larson appears in the same outfit as he wore in the first Tomb Raider, including the vest. His weapon is a [[Revolver]]. Both Larson and [[Pierre DuPont|Pierre]] are portrayed as a lot more comical in their second Tomb Raider appearance.And larson will make a third to tomb raider anniversary.

Eidos Celebrates with Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Inspired by the original Tomb Raider comes a totally new Lara adventure

Eidos Interactive Ltd., one of the world's leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, today confirms that the next Tomb Raider game will be entitled Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary and is set for release on PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable (PSP) and PC in 2007.

'''Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary''' is a game that is currently being made to celebrate Tomb Raider's 10th anniversary. At first it was supposed to be a [[PSP]] game made by [[Core Design]], but this was cancelled. Shortly later Eidos Interactive announced that the game was back on track, now being completed by [[Crystal Dynamics]] will come out on [[PC]], [[PlayStation 2]] as well as [[PSP]].

Eidos didn't say if [[Unfinished Business]] will be included.

This isn't 100% sure, but [[Croft Mansion]] could be back, and not only as a training level but with real purposes to achieve.

==Release Dates in Detail==
SCi Entertainment Group has confirmed that the game is going to be released in May [[2007]].

==Levels==
All the levels of Tomb Raider, but bigger and with the graphics engine of Tomb Raider Legend

==Features==
The story will be told using more cutscenes than 10 years ago.

* ''Play the living Lara Croft''
: the world’s greatest action heroine of all time – use all of Lara’s guile, latest fluid movements, athleticism and gadgets in her quest to conquer the unknown and uncover ancient artifacts.

* ''Explore uncharted and mysterious worlds''
: enter into strange, undiscovered lands and solve their deepest, darkest mysteries, open doors to new realms, uncover great rewards and unearth secrets to Lara’s past.

* ''Includes classic environments from the original [[Tomb Raider]] as never experienced before''
: [[Crystal Dynamics]] latest technology allows you to fluidly manoeuvre Lara using her latest moves and [[gear]], through all the worlds from the original; Peru, Greece, Egypt and more. The dynamic world allows multiple playthrough options and also opens up new places and ways to explore.

*''startling enemy encounters''
: Encounter fierce animal and supernatural enemies, wolves, bears, crocodiles, horrific monsters and of course, the T Rex. New and improved AI means that all enemies will exhibit a more diverse behaviour set, providing improved combat challenges for the player.

*''directors commentary''
:The original Tomb Raider game designer, Toby Gard and Tomb Raider: Anniversary’s Game Director Jason Botta from Crystal Dynamics, provides an unlockable commentary on how this game was made, with some previously undisclosed secrets from Toby about the original Tomb Raider game.

==Gameplay==
The environments in Tomb Raider Anniversary are much more interactive: Lara can use them for lots of things, pick up a piece of wood on the ground and use it as a ladder. Puzzles are more complicated than in [[Tomb Raider Legend]]. There is no clue or sparkling thing to show you where to go.

There is more than one way to explore the environments and complete a level. You can choose the acrobatic way, or the easier way.

Fighting enemies is still an important part of the game: the beast are much more realistic and their [[AI]] has really been improved. They are more dangerous than before, they develop a real strategy to kill you. For example the [[raptors]] run around Lara in circles until they are enough to jump at her and attack her.

==About the Game==
The adventure begins when Lara is hired by a powerful syndicate to retrieve a mythical object called the Scion. As Lara searches ancient tombs and isolated worlds that have lain undisturbed for thousands of years, she discovers that she is not alone. Not only has she awoken their fearsome guardians but there are others desperate to learn the Scion’s dark secrets.

Celebrate and commemorate ten years of Tomb Raider and Lara Croft with Tomb Raider: Anniversary, a new action adventure inspired by the original Tomb Raider video game, one of the greatest action adventure games of all time.

==Story==
On the search for the [[Scion]] Lara will travel to [[Peru]], [[Greece]], [[Egypt]] and [[Atlantis]].

==Locations==

* [[Peru]] (TRA information available)
* [[Greece]]
* [[Egypt]]
* [[Atlantis]]
Al so lara crofts home
==Secrets==
It was announced that there will be lots of secrets in this game and that finding one will be accompanied by a secret sound.

==Gear==
The inventory will be like in the first Tomb Raider (rotating ring). Additionally Lara will have her [[grapple]], which will, according to rumour, not be magnetic this time.
Lara will be able, with her grapple, to walk on walls.

===Weapons===
The only weapons are, according to rumour: [[pistols]], [[shotgun]] and [[uzis]]; the [[Magnums]] have not been announced.

==Vehicles==
There will be no [[vehicles]] in this game.

==Outfits and more==
Lara will have her classical braid, not the hair of [[Tomb Raider Legend]]. She will wear her [[Classic Outfit|Classic green Outfit]] and maybe more.

Eidos' Message to the Tomb Raider Community
Eidos is pleased to announce some special news directly to the Tomb Raider
community.
The official name of the next Tomb Raider game is Lara Croft Tomb Raider:
Anniversary, and the first screenshot is going straight to where it matters most - the
people who have supported Lara across the years.
As most of you may already know, Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a revitalized version
of the original adventure that started it all. This game is more than just a remake; it
is a celebration of Lara Croft and the history of the Tomb Raider franchise.
One would need to be blind to not see the impact that Lara Croft has had, both on
gaming in general, as well as pop-culture. She is a character that people connect
with, a character that transcends the media in which she was originally presented.
However, Lara's rise to fame didn't just magically happen. There has been a very
powerful, dedicated fan base that has not only tracked her every move over the last
10 years, but helped transform her from being just a video game character, to an
international digital celebrity.
Every time a new Tomb Raider game has been released, the fans have asked for a
remake of the original. Tomb Raider: Anniversary is our answer. This game is for
the fans. It only makes sense that the first information, as well as much more to
come, goes directly to the fans. We hope you enjoy the screenshot, and keep your
eye out for more information soon...
