>only two flaws
>doesn't mention that it is a sequel to Anniversary in gameplay rather than a remake of TR2
My biggest TR wish regarding the classics is a 'remake' of the originals in the level designer from 4/5, combining all the original games into one giant TR game, with levels in chronological order.

>>389121027
never played Tomb Raider 2, only the very first one, which was cool and I wish there was a source port of sorts with mouse aiming.

Is 2 a better game than 1? Will this game actually get finished, and on a reasonable timescale, or will it be like TimeSplitters Rewind, forever in development even without a C&D?

>>389124145
>Is 2 a better game than 1?
Up for discussion. It is definately worth playing though.

>will this game actually get finished, and on a reasonable timescale
No.

>will it be like TimeSplitters Rewind, forever in development even without a C&D
Considering it only get shilled on /v/, Squeenix does not now about it so far.

>>389124045
>sequel to Anniversary
How is that a flaw?

>>389124748
>>389124045
I also wonder how is that a flaw - Gameplay from TR 1-6 just sucks balls with tank controls. The reason how Core Design fallen in 1st place.

I'm not mentioning the map/puzzle design - those still holds up but that fcking controls just kills it.

It can actually be finished in a reasonable timescale.

He started in March which was 6 months ago

Now these 6months was needed to make the entire game and the first level. It is depending how much of those 6 months were spend on the entire game and how much on the first level. If it were for example: 3 months on the game, 3 months on the first level, then it would take 3 months per level = 4 levels per year.

If however, it took 4 months of developing for the game and only 2 months on the first level, then we can already get 6 levels per year. Which is alot for someone doing it entirely on his own.

I'm sure more people will like it and give plenty of donations to him so he can work on this full time, which could spend the progress up even more. It might be finished in 2 years if everything goes well. If it doesn't, well then it takes a little longer.

Crystal dynamics prohibited that as a part of their agreement about rights, not sure how will they control it though.

>>389126416

You do know the levels get longer as the game progresses, right?

>>389126784
they cant actually do that

>>389126784
So they have blessing from Crystal Dynamics?
Hell yeah! Now we need another miracle so they can finish it.

>>389126802
the first level was already twice as long as the one in tr2, so if he is gonna remake them it will be about the same

>>389126472
If proper controls is to take control away from the player, I will take improper 'shitty' tank controls every day.

Which was even more spooky.

I think he implied manual grab. You can switch to it in anniversary, but iirc not in legend and anniversary.
>>389127208
CD introduced more obstacles and other thing for platforming like bars or pillars, it would be tiresome to hold grab all the time, you just push it if Lara loses her balance. She's acrobat after all and can perform everything, I'd rather fight environment than contols.

I never understood why Core Design and other studios strafed away from her original character.

After the original Tomb Raider it seemed there was a shift in focus on her character as an explorer to hypersexualising her instead.

Might've been because of Toby Gard's departure.

The only people that were ever sexualizing her were marketers, and they were doing that since the beginning.
Toby Gard (who's a complete fucking manlet cuck who thinks just because he helped create Lara that that means he owns her and can dictate who and what she is) has nothing to do with her.

what am i in for? last tomb raider i played was that one for the PS2 where you start off in an allley after someone got murdered

>>389127590
old TR necessitates careful deliberation before jumps. that and you actually need to learn the geometry of the game to be able to make decisions.

>do I need to carefully walk to the edge before jump?
>will I land on the platform or do I need to grab the edge?
>do I have to do a running jump?

all of these are what constitutes "jank" to retards, but it's actually Souls design philosophy before Souls games. your interaction with the world is multi-layered and as a result, the game is more immersive.

>>389133710
lol no

never checked youtube? tons of lara and tombraider shit

>>389133880
>CD actually hired him as a consultant for LAU trilogy
CD also hated Core Design, originally actively tried fucking them over, and all around is a shitty developer that has only managed to make one (1!) Tomb Raider game that was actually decent and didn't either flop or sell like shit. Them hiring Toby Gard doesn't really mean anything other then that fat fuck convinced someone over there that he was more important then he really ever was.
>Even if you didn't like games, Lara herself was great
I never said any of that.

>>389133682

Still doesn't justify the hypersexualization, imo. Her original design had enough merit and appeal.

>>389133814

>The only people that were ever sexualizing her were marketers, and they were doing that since the beginning.

Perhaps. But the game covers themselves after the original seemed to signal towards a more sexual undertone.

Toby Gard concieved her design aswell as her persona.

>>389133992
Disappointment. The only "nude mods" are shitty retextures, there's no mesh replacers.

Toby Gard HELPED create Lara, he wasn't the sole person responsible for creating her, and outside of that, didn't actually do anything other then be lead designer for a few levels (and even then it was more of an oversight role then a creation one).

Why don't they just change the character's name and maybe hair and sell the thing? Why are talented people afraid of doing their own thing?

I don't know mate, I'm aware Wikipedia is not the most credible of all sources, however:

>Core gave Gard creative control over the game, although it was clear they wanted to market Lara's sex appeal, even asking Gard to implement a nude code into the game which he refused to do.
>His vision for Lara was "a female character who was a heroine, you know, cool, collected, in control, that sort of thing" and that "it was never the intention to create some kind of 'Page 3' girl to star in Tomb Raider"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toby_Gard

My early memory of Tomb Raider interviews seems vague, but it somewhat aligns with what I recall reading Gard claiming back in the day.

>>389134529

Additionally:

> His work on the game included building and animating most of the game's characters (including Lara), animating the in-game cutscenes, storyboarding the FMVs, and managing the level designers.

In regards to how much control he had over the project.

>>389134529
He's just like Ken Levine.

>>389134529
>>389134578
None of that refutes what I stated, and is referring to the first game.
>Core gave Gard creative control over the game
Except for this. Definitely not true for later games when he ran off in a huff because people weren't treating "his" Lara correctly, like some grand autismo. Also
>Wikipedia
Wew lad.

>>389134830

Whatever you say, m8. You're free to think what you want.

>>389134529
>asking Gard to implement a nude code into the game which he refused to do
Well this is just incorrect, there was some code in some very early in-house developer's build of the game that did have it, since if you inspect the game's textures you can see textures for skin and a nude breast. If Wikipedia was right, those textures wouldn't even exist but would have been taken out - since Toby Gard is claimed to have so much control over Lara but balked at any sort of sexualization. Really gets the almonds milking!

>>389135015

It could've potentially been planned untill Gard stepped in, if, as you stated, Wikipedia is correct.

>>389135185
>Gard
>Claimed to have complete control over Lara, even designing all the meshes and textures for Lara and other characters
>Constantly reminds people how much he hates Lara being sexualized
>Allowing nude textures of Lara to exist
You're full of shit and and idiot for even using Wikipedia as a source.

All of it comes to
>Walk on the ledge
>press [back] once so she'll jump back exact 1 square
>hold [forward] + [jump] (during run) so you'll be sure she will jump the farthest she can
>true skill
for me it's just unnecessary memory muscle - prep for jump always looked the same and you did almost the same stuff, sometimes you just turned yourself in diffrent angle or you were in rush because some big Indiana Jones' style rock started to roll up your ass.

There was almost no punishment for holding [grab] during jump. You would expect she will faceslam the ground after you press it but no - she will just crouch it.

No - new movement scheme is just way more fluent and not gated by awkward tank controls.

>>389135294

Did you read initial sentence of the post? I'm aware Wikipedia articles are not always 100% credible, unless the articles have undergone an assessment and verified to be so.

>>389135402
And as addendum - the last thing Souls series does is gating you with controls.

>No boob or ass bouncing

Into the trash

>>389135920
For obvious reasons he's not going to be adding that stuff in, but what he could do is make his game moddable so that someone else can.

>>389135402
I'm not saying that playing the game requires skill, just that the control scheme requires some learning/getting used to.

That's not to say that there isn't cool shit you can do thanks to how versatile the movement is with different jumps and flips. You say that the game gates you with controls, but the opposite is true. Modern TR/Uncharted/clones don't allow for nearly as much creativity as the old ones did. That one TR2fag with his webms would prove me right.

I agree that modern control scheme is more fluent, a thousand times over, for sure. I'm just arguing that it's not necessarily a good thing/helps immersion when in real life, an adventurer in those conditions would be super fucking careful.

I'd much rather game require me to walk to the edge and take a step back so that I can do a full running jump, than make it impossible to miss platforms and ledges.

This year, I replayed TR2 and played Uncharted 2 for the first time, back to back, and the former gave me a much biggers sense of adventure and wonder than even the best moments in Uncharted did. They are not even the same genre anymore and it's barely worth arguing the differences because so much got lost in the last decade.
