the new tomb raiders are way more realistic than the classics. a woman that can vertically jump twice her height? yeah, so realistic. horizontally jump like 40 ft? no way. i mean, come on, anyone that says the classics are more realistic than the new tr's are just crazy
@SuperHappyFunTimeLol nobody says they're more realistic haha they're just better. they have a better feel. not this new age crap. the old TR's were hardcore platformers. the new ones are just action/adventure games.
Okay, so Lara can fall off a ledge that high in a cutscene and survive, but when *I* try to do it, she dies. :( Haven't played Anniversary yet (yes, behind the times) but looks pretty good.
They are both brilliant games in their own right. I love the original because of nostalgia, the exploration, difficulty, and geometry. I love TRA because it dared to be different instead of cutting and pasting the same game with pretty graphics. Both very good.
I like Larson's voice in TR1, and I like how Natla speaks in TR1, Crystal should have let Natla be as she was in TR1... maybe a little mixed with TRA.
they did try to remake this using the tomb raider level editor made for tomb raider 4....but I do rather pay 10 dollars for the Glidos program that will enable the original to have more stable and a bit better graphics sense I love the original sound effects...nobody can beat tomb raider 1 and 2's gun sound effects!
and one of the first to be a 3d explorable shoot, run and look around type game...even before half life!...this game already had the full 3d perceptive down :D
tomb raider anniversary hase way better grafix but tomb raider 1 was more realistic imean a hunan wouldnt just wonder into peru with snow atacking you in tomb raider 1 she was wearing a jacket and she used a graple to get up not frozen handed climbing moves!!!
to me CORE Designs where much better in making TR games than Crystal Dynamics .. both of these studios have there own way of making TR games .. CORE was involved in solving puzzles and long great story line and the music is way much better .. Crystal was involved in more action in the game and creating better graphics and thats it .. really who made the legacy of TR it's CORE not Crystal even Eidos lost that bet when moved it to XBOX360..SONY have found the true Action figure in Drake not LARA
I think from the story point of you, I was never interested in Lara personally. She was just doing whatever it is she's suppose to be doing. I don't know if that was Core's intentions on just not focusing on her too much but I felt like I couldn't really relate to her.
I think Crystal's interpretation of her gives her much more of a human quality, gives her a much more bigger reason for doing the things that she is doing.
I agree with you. Crystal's game shows her humanity, her feelings, what she's really thing and feel during the searching for the Scion.
Original doesn't show anything of that and I think that's true 'cause at the beginning no one knew Lara and neither Core Design could bet on how much success TR would received.
On the other side I strongly support the first TR: the gameplay, the atmosphere, the places were much more all-involving. Anniversary it's just a remake, not comparable with the first.
lmao.. i love that in the old tomb raider games lara has long hair in the cutscenes, but then in the game play she has short hair in a bun... lmao i love core design... and also, sometimes i think that tomb raider really has changed for the worst .. the new games are great though.. in there own way, but its just missing something..
They are missing that movie like quality, that dramatic music that got you in the mood of the action when a turning point in the story came. Now the music is just "there". It doesn't create mood. Plus they took out good moves...
I agree with you 100% it kinda makes me sad how much they've changed the games into something that just "blends" into the action/adventure genre, I mean before it stood out and meant something.
That's precisely what got me into the game. Before TR, I was playing Doom and Wolfenstein and Duke Nukem, and I loved the action, but TR got me on the fact that the character is a girl, and the storylines were so much better. It just sucked you right in. I enjoy the current games, but I really do miss some of the old moves and the old music. First 3 games had the best music in my opinion.
One of the reasons why Core was fired from doing Tomb Raider games is because the general gaming public got tired of Core's TR mechanics and it was generally believed that Core was stuck in 1996 and hadn't improved on much of anything since then.
Maybe you prefer Lara moving like a tank, bad graphics, and bad everything else, but most people don't. I mean, just compare AOD with Legend. Both on PS2. Big difference in quality.
If Core hadn't been fired, nobody would buy TR games at all anymore.
I don't disagree with making movements more fluid and real and I'm certainly not against making graphics unreal, but I am against diluting a story. The elements that were removed that created the right mood, like music, and certain moves that in the original games she was capable of, I disagree with those changes. AOD was like that. The story wasn't immersive, and the trend of those that followed weren't very immersive either, and not b/c the stories were bad, just not well told.
It's kind of weird watching how the game has improved: in the first game, she was emotionless and inhuman. But in Anniversary, she feels SYMPATHY for the dead guy! -Gasp.-
Tomb Raider Underworld is looking promising though even if it dosn't have that old feel. There might not ever be another tomb raider that has that feel maybie its a 96 thing.
But then again imagine the ultimate expereince with tech 10 years down the line.
It doesn't look like Tomb Raider Underworld is going to better Tomb Raider. The annoying Lara Crystal Dynamics created still remains. Old school fans who enjoyed the power of embodying a smart, solitary and mysterious character will be disappointed.
The game has also been built for last gen hardware so I wouldn't be surprised if the 360, PS3 and PC version don't feature game play physics and AI and that exploit the hardware.
For anyone who feels the same let's stop moping and all send an email to Crystal Dynamics stating that we hate the post movie Lara character and would like to see a return to it's roots.
PS the "Zeitgeist: Addendum" movie is available free online now!
And that flipin unnatural voice we need to tell them to sort that out as well. Lara should be dominant playful and suggestive in conversation not boring, uptight and fragile.
awesome comparison vid man! great job :)
