/vr/ - Retro Games

The Last Revelation started development at the same time TR3 did but with a different team, so they had twice as much time as normal and the devs weren't as burned out because they only had one massive crunch behind them (for TR2, whereas the original had around 3 years of dev time).

That's not to say that Core higher ups weren't slavedrivers, but the situation was not as grim as you are making it out to be. The Last Revelation is a fantastic game, and a perfect sendoff for the series (we are pretending that Chronicles never happened). The whole "killing Lara Croft" thing was kinda funny though, the team decided to do it and make TLR literally the LAST revelation, but didn't tell management until very late in development and by then there wasn't enough time to change things.

As an aside, the Dreamcast port also looks and runs great, especially over VGA.
