/vr/ - Retro Games

Been playing the first one recently, since it's one of those DOS games with Voodoo support. Liking it a lot more now than I did when I was a kid.

>>6473995
What puzzles?

>>6473995
Controls didnt age well compared to other games, tank controls got phased out for reasons.

>>6474001
I don't get why people hate angel of darkness. It is comfy as fuck and Lara looks fucking hot.

Making it slightly open-world was a nice change.

>>6474091
Never played it myself, but I've heard very mixed things.

>>6474001
been playing it on saturn
I expected it to run better than on psx

>>6474090
The controls are fine, they're closer to a 3D version of Prince of Persia or Flashback in that if you jump, you will jump the exact same distance every time and there's nothing you can do about it, unlike Metroid or Sonic where you can easily control yourself in the air.

I never said they where bad, I said they aged poorly. Same with golden eye, great games at the time but nothing a lot of people wanna go back to or start again to learn. People want to pick up a game and have it play the same way other games play, they dont want to learn awkward controls from the past.

>>6474101
Tomb Raider was never an action game, it is an exploration game. It's basically Resident Evil with jumping and 3 dimensions added to it. Complaining that moving isn't fast and efficient in an exploration game is retarded. It was never supposed to be Sonic and you were supposed to explore slowly.

>one of the most popular video game series of all time
>spawned 3 blockbuster movies
>criminally underrated

>>6474095
Never played the Saturn version, but I'd like to try it sometime, just for curiosity's sake. Same with Resident Evil.

>>6474091
This.

>>6474110
>Tomb Raider was never an action game,
Apart from it is, its action adventure, now genre with fluid controls, like Uncharted or Assassins Creed.

>>6474110
>t's basically Resident Evil with jumping and 3 dimensions added to it.
Sure, another genre that evolved to have more fluid controls.>>6474110
>Complaining that moving isn't fast and efficient
I never did, stop making things up.
>>6474110
>retarded
Well done, strong argument, are you 7?
>>6474110
>It was never supposed to be Sonic and you were supposed to explore slowly.
I never said it was.

>>6474137
notice he said "game" and not "series"

>>6474137
Why did you quote me 4 times? Did you have a stroke?

And yes I actually like tank controls because they are fucking realistic. When you walk somewhere and decide to walk in the opposite direction you have to turn around which may take 1 or 2 seconds but you don't turn around INSTANTLY like in games with direct controls.

>>6474114
fucking zoomers on this board, bro

>>6473995
are tomb raider II and tomb raider III worthy (on psx) I don't play on PC. THANKS.

>>6474090
Yes, they aged perfectly, considering they are the same they ever were.

Why were posts AoD-related posts deleted?

>>6474320
TR2 yes, TR3 has some pretty terrible design decisions on PS1.

>>6474353
What is the difference between PC and PS1 versions? Are PC versions better?

>>6474342
Jannies are trannies.

I feel bad for Core tough. Didn't the failure of AoD ruin their entire company? AoD is fucking fine. I don't get why it got so much hate. Yes it is different, but different doesn't mean worse. 5 was far worse and it didn't bankrupt their company.

>>6474371
PC versions can be better, but all of them need some fiddling and patching, though there's an anon that delivers pre patched download links every TR thread. On PS1, you can't save anywhere in TR3, and that's the game with the worst level design. As for TR 4 and 5, I'd recommend the Dreamcast over any version.

>>6474380
Nah, it's not fine. I love classic TR and Core got shafted really hard during the whole series's development, but AoD is trash.

>>6474371
ps1 is darker and has slower framerate and these stupid savegame crystals that makes the game crazy hard

>>6474390
>implying that's a bad thing
get filtered normie

>>6474437
>HARD GOOD, am I /vr/ yet?

>>6474437
>normie
You have to go back

>>6474441
PC makes it too easy to savescum.

doing nevada last makes tr3 on ps1 even harder

>>6474451
The same can be said of emulating it on a PS1. Savescumming is up to the player.

>>6474456
Git gud. I beat on the PS1 as a fucking 8 year old at least 3 times. It adds another layer of tension to the game and makes actions have consequences. It makes the game better.

>>6474468
Not the anon you replied to, but I don't mind the save system in TR1, but in its sequels I much prefer the PC version for saving anywhere, particularly in TR3.

Why does TR1 and TR3 use save crystals,
but TR2, TR4 and TR5 let you save anywhere?

>>6474126
>>6474095

Sega really shot themselves in the foot getting a deal to release it on Saturn first as the PS1 version clearly had an extra layer of polish and isn't just better for technical reasons.

Being a UK developed game the PAL Saturn version was released first, is an even earlier build, and is even worse for it. There's at least one spot with swinging axes that's supposed to have a save crystal, but it's missing entirely in the PAL version meaning if you make a mistake it's a good 5 minute run to get back to the same point.
The lighting is too dark in places and the low-res textures for distant walls are a mess, but at least the 6 button controller works better overall.

For anyone interested on playing the PC version of TR1

>>6474151
I like them too, but you decided I didnt cos I said they aged poorly.

>>6473995
>Tomb Raider
>criminally underrated
Which alternative reality did you came from?

>>6474090
The controls are perfectly fine, for the simple reason of entire Core-era lineup being build around them. Meaning you are yet another faggot who never played old TRs, but heard they have tank controls, so obviously they must be clunky and hard to play, right?

>>6474382
>though there's an anon that delivers pre patched download links every TR thread
Did someone called?

Why people keep doing this shit? No, seriously, why? What's the fucking point? I'd argue that finding a non-repack version of TR1 at this point is so unlikely, you would have to deliberately search for it. And deeply, too.

>>6474674
The links are dead. And yes I removed the 7 from www.

>>6474775
Stop living in Bongistan/Swabia and zippy will work for you just fine

>>6474796
Can't you reupload the files to mega or something? I never chose to live in my shithole. It's not fair. I'm specifically interested in 2 and 3.

>>6473995
Hidden gems i would say.

>>6474695
It's a fix for the Steam version, for anyone who bought that one. It's just a showcase of what's in www.pcgamingwiki.com already.
If you don't need it, good for you bro, no need to get this triggered over a youtube link.

>>6474925
I guess I'm just spending too much time in /vr/'s threads on TR, where one stupid nigger after another is wanking furiously over trying to make the original release of the game run on a modern rig, so go fucking figure

>>6473995
Is everything people on here played as a kid underrated now? Tomb Raider was a massive franchise and still gets new games the fuck you on OP?

I used to make Lara back up in a corner and jerk off to her boobs. Also to the comic series

>>6475039
>tfw can't jerk off to her because I love her

>>6473995
I can't stand watching or even playing Tomb Raider. It aged like milk. I liked it when it was new in it's trapezoid box.

>>6473995
bro how the fuck are these games underrated fuck you you goddamn moron

>>6474674
Tips for newfags, since a friend asked to throw a dog a bone:
Using right side of the keyboard, while at first unintuitive, leads to superior experience. Otherwise you will have to switch between "natural" left Ctrl and Shift... and pretty much all other controls, which are located on the right side under various, obtuse from modern perspective keys
If the game has it, do Croft Manor first. Otherwise, you are going to get confused.
If you never, ever had any contact with the series, do TR1 first, then any order goes.
If you had any kind of exposure, even to nu-Raider, start from TR3 for easier accomodation, then do them chronologically.
If you can't figure out a solution within 5 minutes, you aren't stuck yet. If you can't figure out a solution within 30 minutes, you are stuck. It's this kind of experience.
The controls might feel odd, even if you aren't a zoom-shit, but all it takes is to finish Croft Manor's obstacle course and you have mastered it all.
Stella's site is currently the best collection of helpful resources and tips, short from watching someone play it for you. Just google Stella TR.
Avoid the "official" site, Tomb Raider Chronicles, like hellfire, they've got butt-fucked by corporate suits into total compliance on "nu-Raider is all that matters", with tonnes of old material being cut or relegated to defunct pages.

>>6474674
Based

>>6475860
Oh, and one more:
It is advised in TR3 to do Nevada first, or at least prior of doing South Pacific. There is no "true" sequence even if the documentation from production suggests London-Nevada-South Pacific as "how the plot unfolds", but it is still helpful to pick Nevada as early as possible.

who does remember tombraiders.net?

>>6475918
>Remembers
Nigga, that site is up and running.

Now, traider.pl... I'm still missing it. Had staff dedicated to the subject of TRLE, with their separate rankings, discussions and what not. I unironically think they did more to promotion of TRLE than anyone else ever did, without getting into traffic conflict with trle.net, but working as a full support

>>6474674
As based as you are for reposting this isn’t the TR1 version in this inferior for not having all the music in it?

>>6475942
>traider.pl
Miss them too. Miss their obsession over interviews, so everyone knew what anyone in the team said about just about anything game-related. And they were essentially a Core-only site, croaking right before Legend hit stores. Real shame.
The follow-up side of WoTR and then the official and licensed Lara-centric (but not TR-centric) sites weren't the same. Different people, different goals and utter lack of direction.

>>6475942
>>6475987
The site to truly miss is obviously Kurtis Trent Estrogen Brigade.
No, but seriously. Jokes aside, up until the 20th anniversary archeology with the staff of Core, they were the biggest and most autorative source on the whole mess related with AoD. And the best part is that the narration they've sprung from the data they've gathered eventually turned out to be true once the 20th anni interviews cropped out.

>The lightning is brighter than the PC and Saturn versions.

Also lie - any PC capable of running TR2 was by default stutter-free.

>>6481263
Not the anon you are replying to, but want to know a funny fact about schizophreniacs?
They often think there is just one person out there, somewhere, in the hiding, ruining their life on purpose. Not events, not random people, but some Dick Dastardly type that's set up to fuck them up.

>>6481268
Melee is outside of the scope of the original engine, so sorry, but no.

Why is TR fandom so autistic?

>>6481348
If Stella is autistic then sign me the fuck up.

>>6481348
What fandom isn't when you approach its inner core?!

>>6481348
this is so true(see tombraiderforums.com for the unlimited amount of threads about the same thing)

>>6474101
>People want to pick up a game and have it play the same way other games play
And that's why people in general are fucking stupid.

True autism would have high-quality FLAC albums of all the classic CORE Design games. So, I feel your hypothesis is tenuous.

>>6474101
you have to remember that tomb raider is a game from 1996 primarily made for the saturn, which didn't have analog sticks
absolute 3d movement with a dpad is not that good, and it makes it difficult to line yourself up with things, which is a big problem in puzzle games where you must interact with various things like objects on the ground or levers/switches

nowadays you would expect such a game to use absolute controls with an analog stick, but that had not yet become the standard. later games switched to it

i don't know about younger players who didn't play any of these kinds of games, but i personally have no problem going back to 'tank controls'

>>6481518
>absolute 3d movement with a dpad
meant to write relative, not absolute (that is, not tank controls)

>>6481518
>absolute controls with an analog stick
relative
fuck i got them both backwards

>>6481447

>>6477962
Not him but you can look up full romlists for retro consoles by typing up in google “PSX Redump Archive.org” and you should be set

>>6481348
It's mostly composed of coomers

>>6481348
She was the first 3d waifu of any note so nearly the whole worlds population of autists susceptible to that sort of thing and insecure women locked onto her all at once. Take the waifu obsession that's dispersed over how many thousands of characters now and focus it all at one spot and that's basically Lara when she was new.

>>6482116
You know that was over 20 years ago... right? The question was about the fanbase nowdays

>>6481543
wow just realized, its basicly the same thing
nevermind

>>6482320
That's the point, if you're the first to press their buttons in a way they like you have them for life, and whoever filters in later keeps the fire going. See also: Sonic and Pokemon.

>>6482373
Dunno, never had any contact with either franchise aside most basic pop-culture familiarity. Not to mention fanbase. In fact, as far as I'm concerned, the autistic part of TR fanbase fits under the standard bell-curve, being the visible, but also very small minority. Those games are old, even LAU is at this point in its teen years, and this help people to adjust mentally, as they quite literally grow the fuck up.

>>6482383
Nothing lasts forever but it started a certain way and carried on for quite a while. TR is pretty old news at this point but Lara was the borderline face of video games in her heyday, the fervor isn't what it used to be like you said since the ardent fans age and literally die but what's left stays pretty well in line with the old.

>>6482397
... or you are just projecting from your ass

Nobody's judging, anon, but a normal person wouldn't do that.

>>6482442
Who hurt you?

It's funny, the most I've played of a "Tomb Raider" game are the Duke Nukem 3D platformers on the PS1 that aped it's gameplay style.
I should get on to actually playing through them one day.

What’s the consensus on Open Lara or Open Tomb? Are they worth using for any of these games?

>>6482462
It's more or less a pointless gimmick, but bunch of autists will defend it with their very lives. Those same people will also argue about the superior experience of playing TR1 on [put their console of choice here], suggesting there are actual, noticable differences from modern perspective.

>>6482462

I've played the first 5 too much but I still need more. Are there any custom maps comparible in quality with the original games? Never looked into it.

>>6481982

>>6482441
>light rays from the right
>shadow also go towards the right
eh?

>>6484042
that's what "aging" means in this context, retard
games age in the sense that technology, controls, expectations, etc, etc move on, while the game stays the same
something doesn't need to become worse/degrade to age, it just has to be replaced by something else
various elements of tomb raider are no longer the standard, it looks and feels notably different to modern games, therefore it has aged

>>6484363
-- and before you go "games are a art, so they can't be replaced"
think about it more like if tomb raider 1 was made today, would it be different?

>>6473995
Hey OP you forgot one

>>6474090

People who don't understand tank controls lack a function in their brain that lets them conceptualize abstract movement (movement non-proportional to their own viewpoint).

They also struggle with things like remote controlled cars as a result.

>>6484620

I appreciate you posting these links.

What is the difference between playing the PC versions and just emulating the PS1 versions (for 1-Chronicles, anyway), besides missing out on Unfinished Business/The Golden Mask/The Lost Artifact?

Do the patched PC versions support xInput, or do I have to deal with finding an old Directinput controller?

Nope. It would still be just as good.

Are they? I remember when I was a kid in the UK the games every single adult seemed to have played was Myst and Tomb Raider.

I started playing TR1 with open Lara but the dialog is missing. I have all the music but no dialog. Any one got a zip of the audio files please? I tried dipping the oggs from Android but couldn't find them in the APK.

>>6473995

They're not underrated, they were massively successful in their time.

They're less discussed now because the series went to shit afterwards, went on hiatus, experienced two (2) reboots, and came back as an underwhelming Uncharted knock-off.

>>6485148
>why would you ever use zippy tho

So like in EVERY. SINGLE. FUCKING. GAME ever made?

Why the fuck are you even bothering with Open Lara? It's meme-tier gimmick repack

>>6474674
Thanks for the effort in putting these together, anon. I'm feeling nostalgic for my old PlayStation now!

I don't suppose any other kind folks in this thread can mirror these? I keep getting a 403, and on investigation it's because the host site blocks my country. No explanation as to why - everything I've read says "dunno".

>>6474674
Shit's been dead for a while already, and yet you still reposted the exact same post with exact same image and exact same links and got exact same response about dead links like 5 or 6 times in the past few months.
I know you bitches are lazy but how lazy can you really be, reposting a the exact same post after being repeatedly told that half of those links are dead.

Anyway I got GOG versions and they work fine with a wrapper.
How's those versions any different/worse from whatever was in those polish versions?

>>6490490
the links all work fine here

>>6490506
TR2, 3 and 4 links give me picrelated
Angel of Darkness, Chronicles and TR1 work.

Anyway, whats the difference between these and GOG? Because if there's none there's really no point in sticking to them since GOG versions can be found in plenty of places.

>>6490520
no idea, not the guy who posted them
i downloaded each link to see how long it might take to upload them somewhere else for >>6490382

>>6490382
>No explanation as to why - everything I've read says "dunno".
Are Bongs/Germs really this clueless?
It's an anti-piracy measure.

>>6490490
>>6490520
Bong, Germ or just plain retarded? Because the fact you're liar is pretty transparent
Just downloaded 2, 3 and 4 using those links, what now? The "last download" won't update until full hour

>>6490532
I access Zippy from VPN since it has banned my country (among half of eastern europe) maybe that's the reason.
Anyway, it's usually a good idea to host files in places that don't just ban two dozen countries from using itself for stupid reasons.

>>6490520
>Anyway, whats the difference between these and GOG
GOLDs, which aren't on GOG
The proper loading time on 64bit for TLR (GOG version has issues with interlinked levels)
AoD is in better shape than the one from GOG.

On the flip-side, TR2 from this set has an annoying bug that triggers randomly, crashing the game when loading Venice.

>>6490539
It's all nice and dandy, but:
- we've been over this 4 times already
- you are not gonna make me use any other site, just because you have personal beef with zippy
- it's the country blocking zippy, not the other way around, you dense motherfucker
- there is literally nothing preventing you from using VPN and setting up your own upload for other on something else than zippy, aside maybe being a lazy ass on top of being annoying screetcher

>>6490532
>Gadu-Gadu
Aww shit, a genuine oldfag. No wonder you are using zippyshare. I bet that if it was still around, you would using rapidshare

>>6490551
>it's the country blocking zippy, not the other way around, you dense motherfucker
If that was the case, it wouldn't return 403 Forbidden. It's well documented that it's the site blocking countries you colossal dipshit

>>6490567
Rapid wasn't just hosting. Rapid was a lifestyle

>>6490574
You are still missing the main point:
I don't care and no amount of demands is going to change that. You are given something for free, yet you complain about the wrapping paper, rather than enjoy the content.
Thus: go fuck yourself and the horse you ride on

>>6490382
>>6490531
man i hope you can access anonfiles
anonfiles com/dfi1Ba41oe/tr_wim
(all of them repacked into a single file)

>>6490604
If anyone's on a high horse, it's you. I can't police how you choose to conduct yourself, but:

1) The guy who asked for a repost made it clear he wasn't asking the original poster of those files (I assume that's (You), as both he and you made it clear you have no interest in reposting). He politely asked if another anon would help him out.

2) Stating that the country is blocking the site is both technically and demonstrably wrong, and there are any number of articles about the Zippyshare issue that back this up.

You don't care if folks can't get the files. That's fine, but you could just have said nothing instead of being rude. If you cop an attitude when someone calls you out or asks someone else for help, it's you that has the problem.

>>6490660
This guy, however, is a class act. TYVM, anon.

Oh, and pro tip to Mr Angry: the correct response when someone calls you a dipshit is "Did you just call moi a dipshit?", as anyone old enough to have seen that movie knows.

Peace out, and let me know if your proctologist succeeds in dislodging your cranium from your colon.

They're underrated as games, overshadowed by Lara Croft as an cultural icon. Media talk focuses solely on Lara and treats the OG games as an afterthought.

I'm 31 and I know literally zero. I had one friend who had TR2 but never got past the first level, and another who thought I was a "guru" because I got through venice. I don't think many people actually played the games; I think they just got sucked in by the tittymonster advertising.

I never saw Metroid games, not to mention anyone playing them. I guess that means Metroid is just fake advertising of non-existing game by Nintendo, all based on chick in tight catsuit and big tits.

it's a shame that this style of controls didn't have much iteration afterwards. yes, it's more complicated than mario 64 style of movement, but it's so much more intricate and "connected" to the level.

daily rick remender that tomb raider II was design thinking in segasaturn too.

>>6491105
it's hardly spoonfeeding when the website it's hosted on is blocked in their country, and they didn't get angry you used zippyshare, or even that you refused to upload to another site as well, they're just angry that you refuse to see that there's a problem that is restricting peoples' access to the information
sure they could buy a VPN, but that costs money, or they could use Tor, but that would probably take a long time to download the 3.5G of archives you posted. so a friendly request was made to ask for a reup, you didn't have to respond to it, as anyone can make one

(if you aren't the same person, that's fine, they know who this is directed at)

>>6491921
Not to mention that at least one person thanked the original uploader for their work before asking for help. But what do I know... I'm just some random anonymous user on an imageboard, and life is too short to argue with short-tempered idiots on the internet.

(And you're right, not everyone can use VPNs, or even knows how to choose one. How can you be sure the company you're paying to secure your browsing isn't snarfing your passwords or card details when you shop online? I certainly couldn't tell you but VPN providers seem to be well-placed for "man in the middle" attacks.)

And I will repeat it for the n-th time:
None of this is my problem nor do I care. I deliver and I deliver using zippy. I re-uploaded it three times before it "took" for a single upload to persist since November last year and I'm not gonna re-upload it until the links are alive. And when that happens, I'm going to use zippyshare once more, because that's my upload place of choice when it's to be send to more people than just other Poles (for which I would use native uploader, which is only in Polish and requires registration).
I probably COULD consider using other sites, but ever since the bitching about zippy started, it was exactly that: demands and bitching. Not asking, not informing about issues, but "reupload it on X, NOW".
Fuck that. Like I've repeated so many times - when someone has the sheer audacity to complain about a free gift and then get angry about it, they don't deserve anything. Most definitely not to fulfill their demand.
People should know how to behave, rather than being entitled cunts. Me having to explain it - and routinely so - is yet another nail to the coffin of me not using anything else than zippy, especially since the November upload still holds.

>>6492582
nobody gives a fuck if you use zippyshare
if you don't want to upload it somewhere else, that's completely fine, you aren't obligated to, leave it alone and let someone else do it if they want to

>>6492584
Thing is - nobody ever did. Well, until this thread.
So for past... 8 months, there was nothing but "REEE, NOT ZIPPY", but nobody could move their bloated arse to download from zippy, reupload literally elsewhere and be done with it in less than 10 minutes, instead demanding that from me. Not asking. Demanding.
And that's not fine. But you are correct - I have no obligation to fulfill such demands.

>>6492587
well it took me an hour reupload it, but whatever
i have no doubt you've seen some whining over 8 months, and i'm sorry to hear it, i'm sure you've considered not posting them at all, which is objectively less useful overall than posting links that some people can't access
just have to ignore them, because it's really not worth arguing

>>6492607

>>6492582
For what it's worth, I agree with you and I'd be pretty annoyed if people were either whining/entitled or rude online about something I'd put my time into. Although I think I would've chosen not to engage with them, because frankly life is too short to have my blood pressure raised by people being uncivil on the internet - if I slapped people down every time I saw that, I'd have no time for work or sleep. That said, I'm sorry that you've had that, and that you've taken it to heart.

It's your perogative not to want to use another site or mirror the files, but the simple solution was always this: let someone else do it. Remember, this is 4chan - use your anonymity. If you take every troll, whiner and idiot to heart, you'll quickly end up on blood pressure meds. Do your bit, and if it stops fun, think about your sanity before staying in the thread. (Just a word of advice from someone who's been there)

So between you and >>6492607 all it took was one guy asking politely and a bit of bickering for the problem to be solved. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm grateful that you still took the time to post (especially when you could, quite literally, have taken your toys and gone home) and that he took the time to reupload.

So - forget the whiners and let's have a better thread next time, and let's remember that we're all fans together. Politeness and cooperation cost nothing and mean we don't shit up threads calling each other out, throwing around words like "zoomer", or winding ourselves up over others' posts.

But I don't mind at all anyone else doing it. Quite the contrary - I repeat like a mantra from the start that if people want to use other site, they can simply do it themselves. I'm always just pointing out I'm not going to do it myself, because I did my share (quite literal one) already and the other sites didn't last even a week before deletion.

I guess the Steam version has some compatibility issues that are supposedly fixed in that release, like some musical bugs or widescreen support.
Also, the versions provided are Gold versions, with all the available expansions. Steam only has base games available so if you wish to play let's say The Last Artifact, you are shit out of luck.
