Why isn't there a bloody tomb raider thread currently active?

Angel of Darkness, yeah i didn't enjoy that back in the day on the ps2 i got stuck somewhere in aquatic research area and sold it.

i completed it not too long ago on the pc with the original control setup and probably a patch to iron out a few problems, i have to say i actually did enjoy it this time around, yeah there was probably an issue or two.

there is only one tomb in the game but is it possibly the best tomb of all the tombs in the entire series?

2 and 4 are my favourites, although 1 and 3 are also good
the series died with the first playstation imo, and even chronicles was lackluster

1>3>2>4
2 would rate higher with me if it didn't have the city levels. Like why would Venice have all these gates and walkways that go nowhere? Some people also don't like how that's the level where Lara became a murderer but idgaf about that.

its sad that core design disbanded, aod was the first of three parts

i dont mind the nu tomb raider but i miss the exploration and the grids. now its heavily combat focused along with all the crafting. id love a proper remake with maybe more more fluid movement animations and nicer visuals so the grids weren't as bald.

>>4129695
what makes you prefer the first game for me its 2/3/4/1

>>4129710
I mind it. It's just borderline snuff porn with a weak protagonist who needs QTE help to do anything.

>>4129695
Lara killed Natla's goons in TR1, and all the humans in 2 were either Bartoli's thugs or Tibetan monks, and the monks only attacked if you shot one.

I'm playing 4 and it's probably the best so far.

>>4129683
>whats your favourite core design tomb raider? mine is tomb raider 2
same. Plays better and provides more challenge than TR1, and doesn't have as much ill-conceived shit as TR3/4
>what are the best tomb raider level(s)? mine are off shore rig, and south specific
Venice is a glorious level, and the whole Greco-Roman section in TR1 is phenomenal.
>whats the best way to play tomb raider 1 Saturn or dos?
Saturn version is shite. Bought a Saturn a few years ago primarily to see for myself how it played, and came away very disappointed with everything but the unique water effects.

>>4129720
Might be a little nostalgia because the first game blew me away so much then 2 felt derivative and 3 & 4 felt try-hard

What's try-hard about 4? You can save everywhere even on console version, PLENTY of healthpacks and ammo, good level design, nice FMWs for igniting the story. Best core TR overall.

>>4129683
First Tomb Raider is one of the best games ever made. Then the series took more or less a nosedive till a strong comeback with Underworld then turning into a shitty Uncharted clone

>>4129980
I agree core design really pulled there shit together for 4. I much prefer 2 and 3 for their locations but 4 is their best game it was a master piece as far as story and puzzles an ai are concerned .

5 was a bad game. core design couldnt do anymore on the playstation it had ran its course but the studio had no choice.

Its crazy how much freedom developers had in the 90s. Like rare just added a multiplayer to goldeneye as last minute decision. Without warning or that core design nearly killed lara

Does vr hate aod? Could we agree aog is better then chronicles atleast?

Yeah they changed the controls for no good reason

Yeah it was a heavily buggy game and the choice system was pointless

Yeah core design made lara a tight fisted, edgy cold hearted foul mothed bitch

But it was better then 5

>>4129683

>Saturn version is shite. Bought a Saturn a few years ago primarily to see for myself how it played, and came away very disappointed with everything but the unique water effects.

So would you say the ps1 is better? It looks comfy with saturn controller. Id love to try the original sega hardware with tomb raider

Which bring me to my next question

Both the saturn and ps1 have really good emulators these days which even emliminate the wobbely graphcis the systems used to produce

>If you didnt want to use dosbox for some reason or another, how would you emulate tr1? Vr?

Also can i make tr1 full screen in dosbox without stretching the screen?

You can use custom renderer like 3dfx glide.

>>4130150
>>4130154
theres no reason to go to the trouble of using dosbox since you can run it in windows now with glrage.

>>4130154
>custom renderer like 3dfx glide.
I assuming its not included with the emu gog provide for tomb raider one. How much of a pain is it to set up?

>>4130175
It was in gog version actually, I played with it.

>>4130163
Im already on 5th level cba redownload it. I think i tried n couldnt even find the windows copy so stuck with dosbox now and ths custom renderer now

>>4129683
Anyone know where I can find a nude mod version of Tomb Raider 1 or 2?

>>4130179
Sweet least i dont have to go hunting for a 20 yearold dosbox plugin

>>4130187
I know i said tomb raider general but please fuck off

>>4130184
there's no finding a windows copy. you patch the dos version with the windows patch, then it works.

>>4130231
Ahhh thanyou anon so if i update this gog version into the windows one do i keep my dave also?

>>4130231
GOG release includes the original install cd which is used to stream the music in the two folders GAME.GOG/GAME.DAT, which is actually a BIN/CUE image of the Sold-Out Software release of TR. You can temporary rename GAME.DAT to GAME.cue and mount it with WinCDEmu to access the image.

>>4130256
The windows version and dos version use different save files so it won't overwrite anything, just follow the instructions on the page. https://github.com/ata4/glrage (scroll down)

>favorite game
Also TR2. Later games made some nice engine improvements, but Lara quickly becomes a soulless killing machine with TR3 onward. I think the original staff had largely departed from Core sometime during TR2's development, leaving the company to hash out Lara's personality based on the opinions of retarded marketers who wanted Lara to be nothing more than a sex symbol.

>best levels
The whole undersea bloc of TR2.

>best version of TR1
I never got a chance to play the Saturn version, but the original game in all of its forms is riddled with bugs.

If you can get the DOS version running, the 3D rendering quality might not look nearly as shitty as with the console versions.

>>4130274
This fucking good link. I had alot of trouble trying to play rogue spear on win ten. i even found a compilation of the old rainbow six games which even includes the korea exclusive game all in one complete package (rainbow 6 black ops.) i couldnt run it tho. Do you think this software could possibly help windows ten run rainbow 6? I only ever mangaed to get rainbow 6 one working and even then it came with problems

>>4130374
For those I would recommend DgVoodoo2 which emulates older directx versions.

Bump

Morning people op here do any of you guys know about open lara you can play level 2 ob playlara.com it runs at 60fps and has a first person mode

How is the tr 2 remake coming along? I do want to ask the creator but im sure he answers that question each day and dont want piss him off

>>4131202
I seriously doubt that he'll finish it, too much work for one person. He's still working on the first level.

>>4131204
Really he has been making it years i wish he would take to reddit ir a kickstarter for help and funds to forward the progression

>>4131208
He can't raise funds I think because sqenix or whatever who has right will sue him.

>>4131209
Only if sells the finished project, he does need to open the project i want play it before i die

>>4129683
source port when?

>>4131223
>source port would we really want this

>>4131224
i'd like mouse aiming in the original trilogy

>>4131251
>original trilogy
Wasn't TLR released with a number?

>>4129690
>>4130109
Surprised no one has got back to me on this yet?

>>4130109
I've only played Angel of Darkness and TR 2013, and playing AoD was agonizing. the menus are so unoptimized, i'm not normally one to bitch about load times but goddamn.

I own tomb raider anniversary for ps3 and original ps1 copies of tomb raider III and last revelation, but I haven't played any of them yet. which would be better to start with?

>>4131262
4 or 1 are the best for new comers. 4 is easier and more streamlined expirence for new comers 2 3 and 5 are much harder. Ur best playing 41325

>>4131256
No. Well, the PC executable icon had a 4 in it but that's it. The title screen doesn't have a 4.

>>4131275
Tomb raider 4 the last reverlation

>>4131279
I guess some versions of the game have a IV on the title, like the german version, but most don't.

>>4131282
I know what you mean but even in dev videos they referred to it as tomb raider 4, chronicles and traod on the other hand was never numbered at all

Anniversary is nice, you really should try it. But it's different from the original and it's reasonable to play both.

I never played anything scarier than tomb raider. Forced myself to finish 1 for memories' sake and I would love to play others but Im too scared because I know it will have sudden drop-in-water-with-big-things-around-you moments. Im never gonna play another again I literally had to play without my hearphones in some places to mitigate the panic.

t. person who literally can't play any horror game

>>4131312
I borrowed it of a friend on the 360 i didnt like it will replay soon tho, i did like underworld, i think its the best tomb raider post core design

>>4129683
I don't get it. There's still new shit always coming out courtesy of level editors, and there's still an active community of players, yet any boards for it are always dead.

Come on people what are your opinions on traod

>You did replay it right?

Do you still think its a really bad tomb raider

>Is its tomb the best tomb of all tomb raider games?

>That transition from climbing to monkey swing tho, GOD TIER ANIMATION

>>4131316
I'd love to see you play through 40 fathoms

>>4130282
Funfact, Lara is only sexualized in the promo material. She is never sexualized in any way in the games. At all.

>>4131790
The promo trailers made the games out to be a high octain action, could imagine normies hating the exploration and slow paced gameplay ha fuck them

>>4131790
Don't you think you've seen enough?

>>>4131790
>Don't you think you've seen enough?
The film

>>4131875
Lol forgot about that daniel craig too lol
Not the worse game to film adaptation ever tho
Lol my mum went mad at the odeon manager for not letting me see the film after we brought the tickets launched a pint of coke at him lol

>>4129683
I like pretty much every TR game from the original through to Underworld. The reboots are a fucking travesty and should be destroyed. If I had to choose a favorite it might be 3.

>>4131790
Her back's to you for most of it. It's impossible to actually give a shit about her as anything but an avatar for navigating and exploring by.

>>4131785
is that the ocean level?

buddy from middle school told me about it I think

>>4136056
Yeah. Lara thought it's a great idea to hitchhiking a submarine from the outside without an aqualung.
So you have to worry about air even more than about sharks.

I hated Tomb Raider 2 purely because of the level where you're suddenly dropped in deep water with sharks.
I NOPED out of it and never continued the rest.

I feel nothing but love and adoration for the first Tomb Raider, and I don't think anything like it has ever been made again, not even in its own franchise, at least not to its degree of perfection. It has the perfect balance between exploration, puzzle-solving and action, a feeling of dread and solitude fills its claustrophobic levels, none of which is out in the open air, which plays an essential role in its oppressive atmosphere. The music knows exactly when to hit you for effect. The enemies get outright nightmare-inducing by the later levels, and human enemies are kept to a minimum. Also, Lara might have been a sex symbol, but as a character she still was a strong woman who kicked ass and took no shit from anybody.

It would be hard for me to pick a level as my favorite, as there are so many iconic levels that I keep a fond memory of, such as the Cistern, the Colosseum or the Sphinx.

>>4131746
>I don't get it. There's still new shit always coming out courtesy of level editors, and there's still an active community of players
I would like to know more about this. I had no idea there was even something like a level editor or a community.
