As much as I like some of CD's TR games (Legend and GOL), I really wish the Core version of Anni had gotten completed. Maybe in for like the 20th anniversary or something :)
I think it's unfair for comparing a trailer of 60-80% finished PSP game, for presentation purpose (Core's) with a polished trailer of finished PS game released for public (Crystal's). Obviously people will say "Ooh, Crystal version definitely better!"
About the engine, Core used their other game engine called Free Running, not the old one. When Eido$ (suddenly) sold Core to Rebellion, Free Running published by Rebellion so the engine was also Rebellion's, that's why Core can't complete the game.
Much prefer core's and it's just a beta. But I love CD's one as well but the one thing that bothers me in anniversary is her jumps they are the same as the hops Lara does in AOD except you can grab onto ledges. It's way easy also theres only one puzzle in the game thats hard and its hard in a way that frustrating not in a way you want to keep going
A video what was uploaded 4 years ago! I somehow prefer Core Design's version. I'd be really curious for their Anniversary Edition for TR. Well...the Crystal's Anniversary Edition was disappointment for me. Where can I watch more videos from Core Design's Anniversary Edition?
And btw,you say that Anniverary would have become the prequel of AOD.Well,WTF HAPPENED TO YOUR REGUALR DRUGS?CRYSTAL MADE ANNIVERASRY A PREQUEL TO UNDERWORLDS SHIT STORY!U MAD!?Not to mention,I doubtyou have been long enough to the TR series to know that a good TR game is a hard one and that Crystal's TR games hold for half an hour(for me at least).Also,this was the beta.They would change the animations.The controls would be the same though.AND you obviously like easy games.Pathetic.
If CORE still had Lara,she would never be emotionsl or weak,She wouldn't use a pathetic grapple and the levels would be hard.Crystal ruined everything. :(
What's wrong with the retro running and gun stance (Okay the running and jumping animations aren't smooth but they werre unfinished anyway by the time the trailer was released)
First of all I like TRA as a tomb raider, but it fails miserable as a remake. First of all, a lot of things were cut out .
Unfrotuanetly we can't see too much of TRAE, but it was way more colourful and instead of cut offs core added rooms which were cut out of TR1
It was 80% finished but the trailer was made a lot earlier
The Core's Version is identical to Tomb Raider (1996) ! The animation are the same, the graphics suck... it's not a remake! it's a copy! The TRAOD graphics is even better than this! The Crystal version rules!
If I could choose, I'd choose Core version. Why? For my in TR graphic and movements ARE NOT the most important. The STORY, level of DIFFICULTY, music, ATMOSPHERE. This is the most precious in TR for me. Unfortunately, some people didn't let Core do AoD in the way that Core wanted, and then - didn't let them do other amazing things...
Crystal Dynamics are slowly ruining poor Lara. There just pissing on Tomb Raider fans without the curtoursy of even calling it rain! Core Design did get sacked because Angel of Darkness was a bit shitty but it was still a good game and they did fire Core for there own reasons but at least hire a decent game company like EA.. I even heard there gonna make Lara blonde dumb and American (no offence America). So Core fans lets join up and say "FUCK OF CRYSTAL DYNAMICS!"

I would agree with you if TR9 was a continuation of Underworld but it's not. They're actually taking a chance and daring to be different while keeping Lara's classic personality and motivation but with a twist. So while I'm not holding my breath, I'm keeping an open mind because I like what I see so far.
@junkazamafan555 - They want people to see her as a 'girl growing up and learning lessons throughout her life' not a strong willed woman who knows the difference in what she needs to do and what shouldn't be done. The new lara is easily persuaded and she's too frightened and slow to the punch. I really, really hate her. Crystal Dynamics are a mockery and a shame.
@junkazamafan555 - Tomb Raider is the first to go down the toilet, then Sonic the Hedgehog (after SA2), then Spyro... It seems that any time a game changes hands, it just doesn't need to be sold anymore. Crystal Dynamics need to just get the hell away from Tomb Raider. And Square Enix, I don't care who they are or where they are from, need to stop making their own characters more like Lara Croft than Lara is. It's kind of pathetic when they can't even come up with characters on their own. Yuna.*
@JacquelineNatla well sonic colors is ok and sonic heroes is awesome in my opinon and resident evil is also going down the toilet i mean in 1,2,3,and CV it was survival horror but in 4,and 5 its juts a shooters game i mean it looks fun but. and square enix did a good job on kingdom hearts but tomb raider is not for them and this wouldn't be happening if eidos hadn't rush core on aod
@junkazamafan555 - I hated Colors and Heroes. Especially Heroes. But either way, Crystal Dynamics to me are the poster picture of why a game should not exchange hands.
@JacquelineNatla good point there heroes isn't as good as the old games but sonic the hedgehog in 06 was alot worse but anyways tombraider isn't tht good anymore either and in anniversary i have 2 fight the dinosoaur?
i have 2 start near checkpoints instead of my lave save game?
and whats up with lara? she shows remorse after killing larson i mean did she ever have ''chemistry'' with that guy i doubt it
@junkazamafan555 - I thought '06 was way better in storyline. Much more interesting in Heroes. And the way Crystal made us fight the dinosaur was hella boring and annoying. They couldn't make it look good. And checkpoints are annoying. Either use save crystals or let us save wherever. Checkpoints are annoying and overused.
@junkazamafan555 - Lara flirted a little with Larson in the beginning of the original and Crystal got a little too excited and HAD to make it into a big production, the idiots. There really isn't any chemistry there. They just wanted to show that they liked Lara acting like a sniveling, remorseful coward after it was over. Crystal's Lara is very unsturdy on her feet and incredibly uninteresting and weak.
ppl stop writing CD when you want to say you liked core or crystal please the shortcut of core design and crystaldynamics is"CD" so if you're too lazy to write the whole name just write the first word!andyeah the remake sucked,bad but the original was way better i hate the new larson lol and i don't get your matter with aod it was one of my faves (second place) right after tomb raider 3
I do like Core. They made amazing games. I love classic Tomb Raider. AoD wasn't bad. I like the story there. I wish they had have more time. I think their game would be awesome. I almost feel this adventure, atmosphere, puzzles... Everything! It could be a masterpiece. Lara could have one history... I like Crystal Dynamics too, but I feel that something is missed... like graphics and animation were more important than game...
I think that Core made Anniversary better than Crystal D. , because only Core made First Tomb Raider.... And only they know how to make TRA look similar to TR1!!!! I've been started playing Crystar D. Tomb Raider... but I love Core more than Crystal... Legend is very easy, but when i played TR Last Revelation I could not pass first 2 levels!! (sorry for english)
I liked Legend because of the music and design,what I don't like is how easy the game is.Even on hard it was simple,I finished it in one day.I have also The last revelation,which I am unable to finish XD Core have harder games,but terrible graphic for my liking.So that's my opinion.
I played first game of TR by core,also,never did it without cheats.It's just too hard for me XD
core didn't even attempt to make anniversary I can't believe everyone got so attached to the idea just because of that stupid trailer ! There is alot of i stuff that suggests core couldn't even of attempted to make anniversary
I don't know how anybody could pick Core over CD. The originals were great for their time but Core didn't fix any of the mechanics or controls that plagued the originals. CD came in & made lara control much more fluid & nimble as oppose to core desgin which basically made lara handicapped & control like a freakin tank, It was horrid. Cd came in, saved the series, took TR & made the most fully realized TR games in my opinion. I loved the originals but i wouldnt want to play them over CD TRs.
I dont have a problem with CD's version of Anniversary, the problem is it was the best TR game that they've made to date, yeah AOD had lots of glitches, but didnt make it unplayable and had the best storyline of all. Legend was crappy in most ways, Underworld was okay but still could have been better. The way I see it is CD can only make good TR's when they reuse things from Core, like Natla and TRI. Personally I think they should remake TRII and all PS1 TR's and continue the AOD storyline.
i doublt core would leave the future games like this lol.. and.. the creator of tomb raider may have worked on anniv. and that was the most amazing one from CD.. lol.. legend was short and crappy.. same with underworld and now guardian of light is a fucking rpg? wow.. cd may have made the features and graphics better but they have ruined the rep of tomb raider
the big thing i disliked about the CD Anniversary was the fact that major boss battles felt too restricted except for the huge torso which was restricted in terms of space and action anyway, but the Natla boss felt too easy and all you had to do was simply dodge and shoot a few times, and when I got to the points where Lara kills Larson, Kid and Kold I saw they were now simple button pressing sequencing, and it was a rather big disappointment.
Funny, I loved every Tomb Raider I have played except for Angel of Darkness.
Its not that I disliked it or anything, I just found it to be a darker Tomb Raider the rest of the Tomb Raiders, that, and Tomb Raider IV.
Still, I would say that both Core Design´s and Crystal Dynamic´s games are great! :)
It just annoys me about Crystal Dynamic´s Tomb Raiders, is that strangely, their games felt too easy compared to Core Designs, don´t you think? Even though the scenarios are better...
The Crystal Dynamics remake is Great in terms of Graphics and Animations but when it comes to gameplay. Too much running and jumping and they are not exciting at all when its just pushing space bar and arrow keys and check points isn't necessary when you can SAVE THE GAME.Almost everything is programmed unlike in the original you can climb and jump on any ledge.
But sadly you can't blame Crystal as most games are like that now.
I don't understand why I see alot of "Bring CORE back!"s on here. Toby Gard, the creater of the series and writer of the first game, worked w/ CD on "Anniversary". You don't get more back to Core then her creater.
And the impression I got from listening to the commentary on CD's "Anniversary", he had final say as to what bits from the original would be "recycled" and what wouldn't. So if you've got issues w/ CD's anniversary, you can literaly blame her creater, not CD.
To me though, Crystal Dynamics saved Tomb Raider from a slow death. Core was getting bad at making tomb raider games and Crystal revived it, brought it back from the brink and they seem to be getting better with each game. I just can't under stand how some people can criticize Crystal so harshly for minor bugs when they're still so forgiving of AOD, hypocrites.
I think almost everyone knows how I feel about Crystal Dynamics, but I think that Tomb Raider Legend and Underworld was... Okay. Nowhere NEAR as awesome as the Core Design games, but it was bearable. It was Anniversary here that Crystal just should not have even touched. They should have released both games at least, because if anyone had the right to the 10th Anniversary, it should have been the original creators. I hate Crystal because of this, the sore winners.
Core Design is a legend I played by far all TR games except Chronicles but Anniversary have been great when I finished the game for the first time I really had taste to play it again immediately
I'm half and half. I liked Anniversary (even if it did nearly kill me with a haemorhage) and I think CD did a great job remaking the original, but Core's edition looks interesting. They just needed to change the running animations and it would have been really good.
Lara Croft, she reminds me of female version of Batman. I really hope Eidos can keep up the franchise and have even more realistic Lara Croft for the next installment. I actually pretty happy with Underworld, just that it's still not as smooth or beautiful as Prince of Persia and Assassin's Creed.
Core are great....they started the original lara....and they never changed lara's look and styles...unlike TR underworld....lara looks sucks.....Dynamics is great and better than CORE>..because they made a cool lara w. a sexy moves..sexy style...and sexy look.....:D...but they sucks on UNDERWORLD.........
@Jmjgypsy i agree. i would have thought the games would have gradually improved. they're getting worse. i was shocked by the bad quality (apart from anniversary, in my opinion). and controlling it is really difficult. she seems somewhat like a spider monkey
@oskalene it was on psp and also read scremanie's comment scremanie replied to you, scremanie forgot to click the reply button but scremanie got 20 thumbs up, the graphics are really goood for psp and for its time besides that wasn't the finished version
cd engine and graphics are without a doubt years ahead of core, but i think that to be perfect they could've paid a little more attention to the rooms, i mean, i agree with jnatla on this, alot is missing, their criteria to choose which would and which wouldn't be on the remake is a little doubtful to me. but they also added a lot of nice things, so, overall, they did a good job.
@junkazamafan555 - Yeah. Crystal Dynamics have obviously either never played a Tomb Raider game in their life and simply guessed how to make a game judging on a rabid fanboy's opinion, or they just didn't care and decided to fuck up someone else's idea. I think both are very, very possible. So possible that... They probably did both!
@JacquelineNatla yeah i mean aod was the only tr game i played tht was made by core but its way better than tra and tru and on anniversary in croft manor the aod costume looks terrible on her and Keeley hawes is boring Jonell made her sound dangerous
@junkazamafan555 - Any of the Core games are better than the Crystal games. Crystal Dynamics wanted people to percieve Lara as this cutesy little school girl who is very sensitive and can't fathom the thought of anyone ever dying or getting hurt in the least little bit.
-do things right for a change. This was not their original idea, obviously. Very, obviously. Core's game was more filling, had more. Better voice acting too. Big time.
And, thankfully, Lara didn't constantly cry over mommy and daddy. And Natla wouldn't have originally CARED about Lara's stupid parents. Natla wants the Scion, and to her, who gives a sh- about poor Lara's mommy and daddy? That's her problem. Go cry in another game. Don't make her a little whiney child in Anniversary.
What I hate in the new TR games is that Crystal thought how damn fun it was to make Lara look like a little momma's girl. They make her cry over daddy. And she says stupid things like, "Every breath you take is a gift from me!" ((Is that supposed to be cool or scary? It just looked stupid to me.)) And oh, boy. Maybe Lara can't run on fire because she's human and she burns. And I have jumped in water before the fire was put out.
And what is invincible? I want to know every one in every level.
I'd also like to say that I like what crystal has done simply because they have made a lot of things much more realistic. Looking back at AoD one scene really comes to mind that irked me. Vaulting across a bridge without any pole or anything... It was an insane jump that not even lara could have made. I think that's when I lost my faith in Core.
Crystal D has taken Lara to her next phase in video game evolution. And for that I'm proud to say I'm fan.
Crystay Dynamics haven't honestly taken Lara anywhere. I mean, I see nothing good about the games. I hate the controls, I hate all the new things they added, I hate the storyline, and I especially hate the whole mommy and daddy thing they've got going on.
Core has made maybe... One mistake to Crystal's... God lord only knows how many.
Um wow. Listen to the arguments. o.o Least you all are being semi civil :P Only had to delete a couple comments this time.
Just a reminder that if you want your input heard, please do not cuss in the comments to this video. Bad word = instant delete if I find it.
On the other hand, I'd like to say that I like what Crystal has done. While I'm still a big fan of the old Tomb Raider games...They needed to upgrade to keep the games alive. People these days don't appreciate how.....
I can't say I understand you well.. 'cause i've played the first tomb raider, and now i'm playing this one called anniversary.. it's a lot of fun and have great extras about the previous tomb raiders.. It's very entertaining and leaves you feeling a bit nostalgic. However if you don't like it, I respect that.. And by the way.. try price of persia then LOOOOOL
What is so good about Anniversary.. ok.. * Strikes a balance between providing an homage and delivering new, exciting content * Acrobatic action adventure gameplay is challenging without being frustrating * Lara looks great and moves effortlessly * Adrenaline dodge makes combat more exciting.
*Lara can no longer grab ledges unless you jump in a PERFECT way.
*Acrobatic action isn't frustrating? What game are YOU playing? It frustrates me to TEARS!
*Lara looks great? With a constant look of fear/hurt? Lol. And plus she looks like a 2 year old. She always looks unsure of herself and has a soft and cowardly expression. Moving effortlessly? She can't even jump 2 feet. Not exactly effortlessly. Plus she grunts like a pig.
*Don't get me started on adrenaline dodge. Oh my God.
Lara looks fantastic. She's not wonder woman, Storm, or Super Woman. she's a human being, meant to be just as real as you and me. In the real world, people do get scared...they have feelings and emotions. I enjoy that side of Lara. As do most of the mature audiences.
As for the mom and dad thing, Core did that too. Haven't you ever read the story lines in the gaming booklets? The whole plane crash? It was core that started that. CD just picked up where they left off.
Lara looks horrible. Her face is ridiculously innocent and childish, she has no straightness in her face. And no, mature audiences get a little bored of the whole, "I am an adult Tomb Raider, I can deal with all kinds of stuff, but when it comes to mommy and daddy I act like a spoiled brat who didn't get her cookie."
Yep. And it said that she was disowned by her precious, wonderful, loving mommy and daddy. Tell me where in the booklet it said that she kissed mommy and daddy's feet please.
Actually. It said that her mother and fiancée died in a plane crash where afterwards she was disowned by her father, I believe. HENCE what I was talking about. The story line that core created actually contradicted itself several times.
To be honest CD did a good job of catering to both the movie and gaming crowds prior to the next gen games. They had a lot of material to work with where most of it didn't even fit together...
Yeah, it went something like that. But where did the story contradict? Please explain to me.
CD didn't do a good job at anything. I mean, Lara is a little bit super human for doing the things she does. If I were in her shoes I would probably just die of either fright or a boss. She has no time to be staring down at her hands obsessively, crying over mommy and daddy, or especially being afraid to shoot anyone.
No.. I like the old serious Lara, with the serious story. I don't like kid stuff.
Well, in the movies Lara loved her father and he loved her. In the games it was different. I think CD realized that they couldn't cater to both sides. In doing so I feel they took aspects from both sides *like the plane crash from core, and the happy family from the movies* and did their best to add most of them.
And its true, Lara is a bit super human in anything she does. But despite that remember, batman has feelings too as did Indiana Jones. I think it helps audiences relate to her.
I know I do as I've lost my father as well and I understand her pain. So...sorry if I cry over mommy and daddy sometimes but I think even Lara can be a daddy's girl.
As for the blood on her hands. Supposedly Larson was the first person she -knew- that she had to kill. It was a turning moment in her life and is what shaped the serious Lara. I can't imagine her being a cold blooded killer from the start.
Anniversary was in the past. But it was also Lara's beginning. And if I had seen Crystal's version of Tomb Raider, I would have NEVER given Tomb Raider another chance. Core had much, much more than Crystal.
Look at what Crystal did to poor Atlantis. Over HALF of the level is missing. "Midas's Palace"? Lol. Tihocan and Qualopec were moving, too!
What? Do they feel like they have to make EVERYBODY have a happy ending and LIVE? They need to just stop trying to show off their stupidity and-
The movies didn't do Lara justice to me. I mean, in my opinion, Crystal had no right to even look at the Tomb Raider franchise and change it the way they did. No one asked them to change the story line, no one asked them to change the looks of the characters. But they did, and it sucks. In my opinion.
Batman DID have feelings. But, like me, he lost BOTH his parents, and you don't see him staring at his hands over and over in every game/movie. He did what he had to do and moved on.
@iDangerKitten no she doesn't look fantastic, looks like a bitch on sims 2 (anniversary) she has an annoying constant expression on her face with fear! and why did she almost cry when she killed larson? The real lara wouldn't give a crap to anyone she doesn't care about, shes a big crybaby in the new one and in underworld shes arrogant and emotionless.
but I don't see any problem with controls, just don't like a few things in overall gameplay (like not dying when jumping on fire - w00t/)
the problem about Core is that they didn't want to innovate... when I say 'innovate', is to improve what's bad, bring new things... the moves in this vid were so like the other TR they made.
But that's what I like about them. Tomb Raider controls were so simple... She could actually fire at something and run around in circles, still on target, at the same time. Her ugly ass didn't wave and break in the screen, either.
I hate the background story, lol. I think Crystal's new background story sucks, and I hate the Tomb Raider movies, too.
hey i got a question. what do you think... If we put the core D's lara (with her moves and all) in the crystal D's levels would she be able to finish the level? and if we put crystal D's lara (with her moves and all) in the core D's levels would she be able to finish the level? WHAT DO YOU THINK???? please reply....
Core's Lara could finish ANYTHING Crystal can come up with. Now Crystal's Lara can't even jump an inch. The Crystal's Lara would simply die in the FIRST LEVEL of a Core game.
@nicolaswatt They'd both die easily. Cores level have no grapple points, which CD's Lara would need due to her realistic jump height, and CORE's Lara has no grapple, which you need to get past certain areas in levels. And the Atlantiens in CD's game would look at CORE's Lara and go "Geez, you look stranger then we do!" and have a laugh (cos of her shoddy old school graphics, which were great for their time).
I guess if you prefered the core version, go play the original, cause it seemed so equal to me.. but now lets talk about crystal dynamics, I think they did a very good job here, they looked at the original and improved it somehow, the movements are so fluid that you can actually feel yourself wet when she's swiming. I can tell you, I totally aproved the game with crystal dynamics, they did a very good job here, they really took lara to her best =)
If they took Lara to her best, then why is she crying for mommy, can't even jump an inch, can't take a 6 foot fall, can't bear to shoot Larson, can't stand to hurt people's feelings, cries when something goes wrong, throws a tantrum on Amanda because she can't find her mommy. And what's up with this whole daddy thing? That is not making Lara look at her best. That makes Lara look like a cry baby. I don't feel wet when she jumps in water. I feel like she's trying to struggle to even swim.
To answer all your critics, they made lara more human. That's why she can't jump like crazy, that's why she have feelings, and thats why I like it more than ever!
More human? Lara Croft is supposed to be strong, fearless. Not taking crap from anyone. Now she's a little puss. I had no idea that making all of those mistakes and crying over mommy and daddy so much made you more human.
PLUS...
I thought it was a game. It was supposed to be a FUN game. When I play Core's games, I feel relaxed and I enjoy them completely. No problems steering or manuvering her. when I play Crystal, I almost end up crying in frustration over the horrid controls or stories.
Darling, in all games you need some effort to catch the controls and the steering of the game itself. But if you like so much games with a character who have a strong personality and you can say "shit! this is a real bad ass muthafucka!", then try playin' god of war =P I like it very much, and it's such an amazing game! I guess you would like it too, 'cause there are very good puzzles to solve and also a great fight component. I think it's more your kind =)
Everyone has their own opinion. Mine just so happens to be she sucks. In case you're wondering why, she tries to kill Lara. If not that, then try to turn her evil. Or whatever. However, I don't need to give anyone a reason. I could just hate her.
I don't need to "chill out dude." I'm expressing my opinion in a very calm matter. You're just taking it wrong. And I kow she's going to try to do that. That's why I don't like her. There ARE good characters and bad. I don't like the ones against Lara, because to me, she's the best. Oh, and get your own come backs, Dearie. It's quite rude.
THAT is a fine comment. There is nothing wrong with what AngelOfHate14 has said. In fact they've been very polite and respectful when it comes to responding to you.
Since you can't take the time to respond with the same amount of resepct that they've shown you you're posts are going to continue to get deleted.
It's a video game character. They don't exist. Its not something you should get mad or angry about. Someone has a different opinion than you. THAT'S OKAY.
Crystal dynamics all the way!!!!

Crystal Dynamics are slowly ruining poor Lara. There just pissing on Tomb Raider fans without the curtoursy of even calling it rain! Core Design did get sacked because Angel of Darkness was a bit shitty but it was still a good game and they did fire Core for there own reasons but at least hire a decent game company like EA.. I even heard there gonna make Lara blonde dumb and American (no offence America). So Core fans lets join up and say "FUCK OF CRYSTAL DYNAMICS!"

Core Design did get sacked because Angel of Darkness was a bit shitty but it was still a good game and they did fire Core for there own reasons but at least hire a decent game company like EA.. I even heard there gonna make here blonde dumb and American (no offence America). So Core fans lets join up and say "FUCK OF CRYSTAL DYNAMICS!"

@planetmuvee427,
I would agree with you if TR9 was a continuation of Underworld but it's not. They're actually taking a chance and daring to be different while keeping Lara's classic personality and motivation but with a twist. So while I'm not holding my breath, I'm keeping an open mind because I like what I see so far.

@junkazamafan555 - They want people to see her as a 'girl growing up and learning lessons throughout her life' not a strong willed woman who knows the difference in what she needs to do and what shouldn't be done. The new lara is easily persuaded and she's too frightened and slow to the punch. I really, really hate her. Crystal Dynamics are a mockery and a shame.

seriously is every good game starting going down the toilet?
junkazamafan555 1 year ago
@junkazamafan555 - Tomb Raider is the first to go down the toilet, then Sonic the Hedgehog (after SA2), then Spyro... It seems that any time a game changes hands, it just doesn't need to be sold anymore. Crystal Dynamics need to just get the hell away from Tomb Raider. And Square Enix, I don't care who they are or where they are from, need to stop making their own characters more like Lara Croft than Lara is. It's kind of pathetic when they can't even come up with characters on their own. Yuna.*

@JacquelineNatla well sonic colors is ok and sonic heroes is awesome in my opinon and resident evil is also going down the toilet i mean in 1,2,3,and CV it was survival horror but in 4,and 5 its juts a shooters game i mean it looks fun but. and square enix did a good job on kingdom hearts but tomb raider is not for them and this wouldn't be happening if eidos hadn't rush core on aod

i have 2 start near checkpoints instead of my lave save game?
and whats up with lara? she shows remorse after killing larson i mean did she ever have ''chemistry'' with that guy i doubt it
junkazamafan555 1 year ago
@junkazamafan555 - I thought '06 was way better in storyline. Much more interesting in Heroes. And the way Crystal made us fight the dinosaur was hella boring and annoying. They couldn't make it look good. And checkpoints are annoying. Either use save crystals or let us save wherever. Checkpoints are annoying and overused.
JacquelineNatla 1 year ago
@junkazamafan555 - Lara flirted a little with Larson in the beginning of the original and Crystal got a little too excited and HAD to make it into a big production, the idiots. There really isn't any chemistry there. They just wanted to show that they liked Lara acting like a sniveling, remorseful coward after it was over. Crystal's Lara is very unsturdy on her feet and incredibly uninteresting and weak.

I do like Core. They made amazing games. I love classic Tomb Raider. AoD wasn't bad. I like the story there. I wish they had have more time. I think their game would be awesome. I almost feel this adventure, atmosphere, puzzles... Everything! It could be a masterpiece. Lara could have one history... I like Crystal Dynamics too, but I feel that something is missed... like graphics and animation were more important than game...

I think that Core made Anniversary better than Crystal D. , because only Core made First Tomb Raider.... And only they know how to make TRA look similar to TR1!!!! I've been started playing Crystar D. Tomb Raider... but I love Core more than Crystal... Legend is very easy, but when i played TR Last Revelation I could not pass first 2 levels!! (sorry for english)

I liked Legend because of the music and design,what I don't like is how easy the game is.Even on hard it was simple,I finished it in one day.I have also The last revelation,which I am unable to finish XD Core have harder games,but terrible graphic for my liking.So that's my opinion.
I played first game of TR by core,also,never did it without cheats.It's just too hard for me XD

I don't know how anybody could pick Core over CD. The originals were great for their time but Core didn't fix any of the mechanics or controls that plagued the originals. CD came in & made lara control much more fluid & nimble as oppose to core desgin which basically made lara handicapped & control like a freakin tank, It was horrid. Cd came in, saved the series, took TR & made the most fully realized TR games in my opinion. I loved the originals but i wouldnt want to play them over CD TRs.
xkrazyxboix101 1 year ago
I dont have a problem with CD's version of Anniversary, the problem is it was the best TR game that they've made to date, yeah AOD had lots of glitches, but didnt make it unplayable and had the best storyline of all. Legend was crappy in most ways, Underworld was okay but still could have been better. The way I see it is CD can only make good TR's when they reuse things from Core, like Natla and TRI. Personally I think they should remake TRII and all PS1 TR's and continue the AOD storyline.

TombRaiderFann 1 year ago 2
the big thing i disliked about the CD Anniversary was the fact that major boss battles felt too restricted except for the huge torso which was restricted in terms of space and action anyway, but the Natla boss felt too easy and all you had to do was simply dodge and shoot a few times, and when I got to the points where Lara kills Larson, Kid and Kold I saw they were now simple button pressing sequencing, and it was a rather big disappointment.
deepdive11 1 year ago 2
Funny, I loved every Tomb Raider I have played except for Angel of Darkness.
Its not that I disliked it or anything, I just found it to be a darker Tomb Raider the rest of the Tomb Raiders, that, and Tomb Raider IV.
Still, I would say that both Core Design´s and Crystal Dynamic´s games are great! :)
It just annoys me about Crystal Dynamic´s Tomb Raiders, is that strangely, their games felt too easy compared to Core Designs, don´t you think? Even though the scenarios are better...
AsashiSakai 1 year ago
Although i'm not much of a Tomb Raider fan
The Crystal Dynamics remake is Great in terms of Graphics and Animations but when it comes to gameplay. Too much running and jumping and they are not exciting at all when its just pushing space bar and arrow keys and check points isn't necessary when you can SAVE THE GAME.Almost everything is programmed unlike in the original you can climb and jump on any ledge.
But sadly you can't blame Crystal as most games are like that now.

I don't understand why I see alot of "Bring CORE back!"s on here. Toby Gard, the creater of the series and writer of the first game, worked w/ CD on "Anniversary". You don't get more back to Core then her creater.
And the impression I got from listening to the commentary on CD's "Anniversary", he had final say as to what bits from the original would be "recycled" and what wouldn't. So if you've got issues w/ CD's anniversary, you can literaly blame her creater, not CD.
WinterSoilder 1 year ago
To me though, Crystal Dynamics saved Tomb Raider from a slow death. Core was getting bad at making tomb raider games and Crystal revived it, brought it back from the brink and they seem to be getting better with each game. I just can't under stand how some people can criticize Crystal so harshly for minor bugs when they're still so forgiving of AOD, hypocrites.

I think almost everyone knows how I feel about Crystal Dynamics, but I think that Tomb Raider Legend and Underworld was... Okay. Nowhere NEAR as awesome as the Core Design games, but it was bearable. It was Anniversary here that Crystal just should not have even touched. They should have released both games at least, because if anyone had the right to the 10th Anniversary, it should have been the original creators. I hate Crystal because of this, the sore winners.

junkazamafan555 1 year ago
@junkazamafan555 - Yeah. Crystal Dynamics have obviously either never played a Tomb Raider game in their life and simply guessed how to make a game judging on a rabid fanboy's opinion, or they just didn't care and decided to fuck up someone else's idea. I think both are very, very possible. So possible that... They probably did both!

-do things right for a change. This was not their original idea, obviously. Very, obviously. Core's game was more filling, had more. Better voice acting too. Big time.
And, thankfully, Lara didn't constantly cry over mommy and daddy. And Natla wouldn't have originally CARED about Lara's stupid parents. Natla wants the Scion, and to her, who gives a sh- about poor Lara's mommy and daddy? That's her problem. Go cry in another game. Don't make her a little whiney child in Anniversary.

Maybe Lara can't run on fire because she's human and she burns. And I have jumped in water before the fire was put out.
And what is invincible? I want to know every one in every level.

I'd also like to say that I like what crystal has done simply because they have made a lot of things much more realistic. Looking back at AoD one scene really comes to mind that irked me. Vaulting across a bridge without any pole or anything... It was an insane jump that not even lara could have made. I think that's when I lost my faith in Core.
Crystal D has taken Lara to her next phase in video game evolution. And for that I'm proud to say I'm fan.

*Don't get me started on adrenaline dodge. Oh my God.
JacquelineNatla 2 years ago 4
Lara looks fantastic. She's not wonder woman, Storm, or Super Woman. she's a human being, meant to be just as real as you and me. In the real world, people do get scared...they have feelings and emotions. I enjoy that side of Lara. As do most of the mature audiences.
As for the mom and dad thing, Core did that too. Haven't you ever read the story lines in the gaming booklets? The whole plane crash? It was core that started that. CD just picked up where they left off.
iDangerKitten 2 years ago
Lara looks horrible. Her face is ridiculously innocent and childish, she has no straightness in her face. And no, mature audiences get a little bored of the whole, "I am an adult Tomb Raider, I can deal with all kinds of stuff, but when it comes to mommy and daddy I act like a spoiled brat who didn't get her cookie."
Yep. And it said that she was disowned by her precious, wonderful, loving mommy and daddy. Tell me where in the booklet it said that she kissed mommy and daddy's feet please.
JacquelineNatla 2 years ago
Actually. It said that her mother and fiancée died in a plane crash where afterwards she was disowned by her father, I believe. HENCE what I was talking about. The story line that core created actually contradicted itself several times.
To be honest CD did a good job of catering to both the movie and gaming crowds prior to the next gen games. They had a lot of material to work with where most of it didn't even fit together...
iDangerKitten 2 years ago
And I, being part of this "Mature" audience, enjoy the fact that she has feelings...and that she cares about things. But that's -MY- opinion.
iDangerKitten 2 years ago
Yeah, it went something like that. But where did the story contradict? Please explain to me.
CD didn't do a good job at anything. I mean, Lara is a little bit super human for doing the things she does. If I were in her shoes I would probably just die of either fright or a boss. She has no time to be staring down at her hands obsessively, crying over mommy and daddy, or especially being afraid to shoot anyone.
No.. I like the old serious Lara, with the serious story. I don't like kid stuff.
JacquelineNatla 2 years ago
Well, in the movies Lara loved her father and he loved her. In the games it was different. I think CD realized that they couldn't cater to both sides. In doing so I feel they took aspects from both sides *like the plane crash from core, and the happy family from the movies* and did their best to add most of them.
And its true, Lara is a bit super human in anything she does. But despite that remember, batman has feelings too as did Indiana Jones. I think it helps audiences relate to her.
iDangerKitten 2 years ago
I know I do as I've lost my father as well and I understand her pain. So...sorry if I cry over mommy and daddy sometimes but I think even Lara can be a daddy's girl.
As for the blood on her hands. Supposedly Larson was the first person she -knew- that she had to kill. It was a turning moment in her life and is what shaped the serious Lara. I can't imagine her being a cold blooded killer from the start.
Anniversary was in the past after all.
iDangerKitten 2 years ago
Anniversary was in the past. But it was also Lara's beginning. And if I had seen Crystal's version of Tomb Raider, I would have NEVER given Tomb Raider another chance. Core had much, much more than Crystal.
Look at what Crystal did to poor Atlantis. Over HALF of the level is missing. "Midas's Palace"? Lol. Tihocan and Qualopec were moving, too!
What? Do they feel like they have to make EVERYBODY have a happy ending and LIVE? They need to just stop trying to show off their stupidity and-
JacquelineNatla 2 years ago
The movies didn't do Lara justice to me. I mean, in my opinion, Crystal had no right to even look at the Tomb Raider franchise and change it the way they did. No one asked them to change the story line, no one asked them to change the looks of the characters. But they did, and it sucks. In my opinion.
Batman DID have feelings. But, like me, he lost BOTH his parents, and you don't see him staring at his hands over and over in every game/movie. He did what he had to do and moved on.
JacquelineNatla 2 years ago
@iDangerKitten no she doesn't look fantastic, looks like a bitch on sims 2 (anniversary) she has an annoying constant expression on her face with fear! and why did she almost cry when she killed larson? The real lara wouldn't give a crap to anyone she doesn't care about, shes a big crybaby in the new one and in underworld shes arrogant and emotionless.

you just don't care to background story XD
but I don't see any problem with controls, just don't like a few things in overall gameplay (like not dying when jumping on fire - w00t/)
the problem about Core is that they didn't want to innovate... when I say 'innovate', is to improve what's bad, bring new things... the moves in this vid were so like the other TR they made.

But that's what I like about them. Tomb Raider controls were so simple... She could actually fire at something and run around in circles, still on target, at the same time. Her ugly ass didn't wave and break in the screen, either.

WHAT DO YOU THINK???? please reply....

Core's Lara could finish ANYTHING Crystal can come up with. Now Crystal's Lara can't even jump an inch. The Crystal's Lara would simply die in the FIRST LEVEL of a Core game.

@nicolaswatt They'd both die easily. Cores level have no grapple points, which CD's Lara would need due to her realistic jump height, and CORE's Lara has no grapple, which you need to get past certain areas in levels. And the Atlantiens in CD's game would look at CORE's Lara and go "Geez, you look stranger then we do!" and have a laugh (cos of her shoddy old school graphics, which were great for their time).

Was this real? I mean, was there a competition between core design and crystal dynamics? A competition so agressive that both got their version??

I guess if you prefered the core version, go play the original, cause it seemed so equal to me.. but now lets talk about crystal dynamics, I think they did a very good job here, they looked at the original and improved it somehow, the movements are so fluid that you can actually feel yourself wet when she's swiming. I can tell you, I totally aproved the game with crystal dynamics, they did a very good job here, they really took lara to her best =)

If they took Lara to her best, then why is she crying for mommy, can't even jump an inch, can't take a 6 foot fall, can't bear to shoot Larson, can't stand to hurt people's feelings, cries when something goes wrong, throws a tantrum on Amanda because she can't find her mommy. And what's up with this whole daddy thing? That is not making Lara look at her best. That makes Lara look like a cry baby. I don't feel wet when she jumps in water. I feel like she's trying to struggle to even swim.

To answer all your critics, they made lara more human. That's why she can't jump like crazy, that's why she have feelings, and thats why I like it more than ever!

More human? Lara Croft is supposed to be strong, fearless. Not taking crap from anyone. Now she's a little puss. I had no idea that making all of those mistakes and crying over mommy and daddy so much made you more human.
PLUS...
I thought it was a game. It was supposed to be a FUN game. When I play Core's games, I feel relaxed and I enjoy them completely. No problems steering or manuvering her. when I play Crystal, I almost end up crying in frustration over the horrid controls or stories.

Darling, in all games you need some effort to catch the controls and the steering of the game itself. But if you like so much games with a character who have a strong personality and you can say "shit! this is a real bad ass muthafucka!", then try playin' god of war =P I like it very much, and it's such an amazing game! I guess you would like it too, 'cause there are very good puzzles to solve and also a great fight component. I think it's more your kind =)

I hate her.

Why in the world would you hate Natla? She's the best video game character out there.
JacquelineNatla 2 years ago
Everyone has their own opinion. Mine just so happens to be she sucks. In case you're wondering why, she tries to kill Lara. If not that, then try to turn her evil. Or whatever. However, I don't need to give anyone a reason. I could just hate her.
AngelOfHate14 2 years ago
I don't need to "chill out dude." I'm expressing my opinion in a very calm matter. You're just taking it wrong. And I kow she's going to try to do that. That's why I don't like her. There ARE good characters and bad. I don't like the ones against Lara, because to me, she's the best. Oh, and get your own come backs, Dearie. It's quite rude.

THAT is a fine comment. There is nothing wrong with what AngelOfHate14 has said. In fact they've been very polite and respectful when it comes to responding to you.
Since you can't take the time to respond with the same amount of resepct that they've shown you you're posts are going to continue to get deleted.
It's a video game character. They don't exist. Its not something you should get mad or angry about. Someone has a different opinion than you. THAT'S OKAY.
