“We believe this really helps the tone of survival,” senior art director Brian Horton said. “Character performance is paramount on this project. We really want Lara to experience extremes in extreme situations.”
Not only did the demo show how extreame this game will be, it showed the insane survival situations Lara will survive. The demo starts with Lara tied up, hanging upside down from a ceiling somewhere in a cave. Her only way to escape is by swinging herself to gain enough momentum and burn the ropes binding her. As you continue watching the gameplay you will see Lara is no longer indestructible. Lara is more "life-like" then she's ever been.
