Another Tomb Raider: Underworld developer video has surfaced, and in it, the game’s Creative Director and Lead Animator delve into the plethora of new animations and capabilities they hope will make the latest iteration of Lara Croft the best one yet.

The ability to fire at multiple targets and other new additions to the gameplay are discussed, but Lara’s wetsuit (if you want to call it that), combined with what seems to be a revamped “we’ll focus on your ass while you do whatever it is that you do” camera angle steal the show.

Also, it appears that the Creative Director’s segment was shot on whatever floor the 26 former Silicon Knights employees used to work on. Holy crap, could they have found a better location to shoot his spot??

Hit the jump to watch the video and see exactly what I mean.

So, having watched the video, it’s clear that the main question developers asked themselves while making the new Lara was “what limitations does she have that it doesn’t make sense for her to have?” I’m going to go with pants as my final answer.

   Nathan Drake’s ass is way hotter.

   I can tell a lot of things right now — one of which is that you Sam are delusional!
