Based lying batshit retarded autist.

Tomb Raider 2 and 3 are significantly harder than many games from that era, and Tomb Raider 2 isn't hard simply because of how well designed it is, quite the opposite. There's few medkits and a ton of enemies with auto-targeting hit-scan weapons. Not as hard as Super Meatboy or Rainbow Six Rogue Spear, but definitely more difficult than Mario 64 or Sonic.

>They’re grid based puzzle games.
Half wrong. They're definitely grid-based (until about Tomb Raider 3 where they learn to make triangular instead of square geometry), but the puzzles a lot of the time have nothing to do with that. They have to do with finding keys or switches most of the time, or in Tomb Raider 2 and beyond's case, actually solving puzzles.

>Nu-Lara won't stay regardless she's just a fad that's aging badly.
I like nu-Lara's design, truthfully. Here's my two cents: Yes, it's a shame that one existing means the other had to die. While that's the nature of reboots and the like, it's still unfortunate. If you're the type that wanted the reboot of the character to have the same personality and looks as the original, I can see why the redesign burying the original is still something some people are discontent with. That being said, I tend to have an open mind when it comes to reboots or reimaginings of games and the like - the original games will always exist. If the IP moves in a new direction, or the devs want to work a new angle, sure, go for it. Can always go back to the originals if that style suited your taste best. I think nu-Lara is a fine take on the character, with the exception of her debut 2013 game. I think that's where a lot of the bad rap she gets comes from - all she does in that game is sensually moan as she gets beaten up and trembles like a frail leaf at the prospect of doing quite literally anything. Rise of the Tomb Raider and Shadow of the Tomb Raider are much, much better games. I do agree though that Nu-Lara is probably nearing the end of her life. I can't see many more of these reboot games coming out before people lose interest.

Bros, i am playing TRIII for the first time (love I/II/IV). Just finished the India levels. Jungle was nice despite the huge slope in the beginning. Temple Ruins has its moments but was full of unfair traps. River Ganges was kind of short (took the right route).Caves of Kaliya was even shorter (maybe i got lucky?).

Does the game have other "unfair" traps like in Temple Ruins? Are the other regions better than India? Overall i am enjoying the game but not as much as the others.

They outright canned the "origin story" trilogy after Shadow. The plan was simple: if the game bombs, can it. If it doesn't, continue.
It bombed. Quite spectacularly, too. So TR got canned and nu-Lara is done with.

They are just TR'13: Siberia and TR'13: South America. The only improvement is that Siberia was less edgy than TR'13 and how South America managed to be the first official game where Lara ends up being a bad guy (but brought the edge back and doubled down on it).
As for chasing fads, I find it amusing how TR'13 was trying to chase a fad of some teen book adaptation that happend few years prior and was already forgotten itself, but all the shoehorned elements stayed in TR up until Shadow. Talking about being instantly dated.

[Anonymous No.6593696]

Full story is a material for a book.
Short story is material for a thread.

So... a capsule version of short story:
Eidos was dependant financially on TR revenue and they absolutely needed new TR to hit stores November each year. Core was eventually fed up with this shit and the conditions in which they were working, not to mention money cut they were getting out of it, so Lara got "killed". Eidos was naturally furious, since TLR happend when their TR dependency started to show. Since they couldn't exactly fire Core, they stike a deal: finally giving them time to develop new engine and move to PS2 and being paid real money for development, but a quick cash-grab in between must happens. That's Chronicles.
While working on Chronicles, Core moved from what was basically a rented house to an actual studio and expanded their staff to 50 people (from 21) to manage production of "new generation" TR and all the related stuff.
With big budget and big ideas, they overextended themselves, overspend and didn't actually plan anything at all... and the clock was ticking. Eidos figured out that there is no game coming out for November 2001, did a check in Core... and realised no work is being done at all on anything. Quite understandably, they got fucking ballistic. Of course it was obvious from the start there will be no game for November 2001 (since Core's most optimistic estimate from the start was to deliver for third quarter of 2003), but Eidos gained leverage to force Core into working...
... and from this moment the whole thing rebalances. Core is no longer slacking off, an actual progress and planning is done, with steady pace of development, all while Eidos is starting to go more and more retarded. Expecting delivery for utterly unrealistic Nov '02 (something that wouldn't be possible even if Core was hard-working from day 1), they kept pushing more and more demands and changing scheludes.
>1/?

[Anonymous No.6593713]

>>6593696
Eventually, by October '02 Heath-Smith strike a deal with Eidos - they stop adding new demands and changing scheludes and he will make sure the game is delivered for November '03, because at their current pace of work (the classic, Core work marathon of sleeping in the office on your desk to get shit done in 18 hour work shifts) they should have game ready for printing by mid-September. Eidos agreed... but then '03 started and the Accounting department send a financial report, informing the management they are virtually bankrupt and there is no fucking way to hide it or bury from other shareholders. So they did all the possible accounting to at least try to mitingate how terrible their finances are without the cash stream from Tomb Raider (remember, the last one was Chronicles, at that point over 2 years after premiere and with cold reception) and bouncing twice as many checks as they were up until that point. That wasn't enough. They needed something to assure shareholders that the company is doing fine, even if clearly in the red.
So they've switched release date of AoD, from November to June. Meaning printing and distribution would have to start at least in mid-May.
And they've informed Core about it by late March, essentially robbing them of two quarters they had for finishing the game, something that was perfectly feasible.
The shitfest of overtime that followed was still not enough to finish the game on time, even if they had twice as many people. So they did what they could. Story has it the controls for keyboard were written in the same day as delivering the game for printing, with zero time to even play-test it. While this might be just an urban legend, the horrible, horrible working conditions and the rush job were not.
>2/3

[Anonymous No.6593726]

>>6593713
Then due to trying to error during printing they've fucked up encoding, leaving 8% of all copies malfunction, requiring to make new and discard the damaged ones (since they wouldn't run at all), complicating shipping and all the logistics to make it for the premier.
The rest is just the classic story of unfirnished, but hyped to hell and back game hitting stores. Eidos wasn't even waiting for people to demand blood, they instantly throw Core under the bus, despite first cucking them on the whole deal. For them it was a relatively simple deal: deliver half-baked game in 2nd quarter of the year, or not make it till the 4th. Which in turn meant sacrificing their cash cow (and at this point the only real "big" thing they had still going) and everything along the way as a collateral damage.
The worst part isn't even the whole mess, but the fact Eidos put the whole fucking blame on Core for this, pretending they themselves are blameless and it was the dev who screw up time table, not them shifting the premiere by 5 months. This was also done to secure shareholders that the company is doing fine and it's the contractors who fucked up, so nothing to worry, someone else can make more TR games, while those losers can be cut off.
Hence why Eidos stripped Core of their own game and passed the rights to one of their still surviving contractors, Crystal Dynamics. Core, with the new expenses (massive studio and 50 people on a payroll, while being cucked out of AoD profits) started a bankrupcy spiral, while also lacking any sort of title to deliver, ending up a subsidiary of Rebellion, making 3rd rate game and eventually being closed down (almost everyone related with TRs quit year or two before that).

tl;dr it's a shitty story of bunch of people not keeping their words and knowingly killing the series in the process, despite being fully dependant on the revenue generated by it

[Anonymous No.6593731]

>>6593726
Also, to rub some salt into the wound, there is the whole 10th anniversary project, but that's a separate story. I know how Free Running by Core works. It's a great engine, rought around the edges, but really damn good, especially for its era. A TR on it would be fantastic.
Instead we've got Anniversary from Crystal, who didn't even have time or manpower to make it (being busy with Underworld and essentially repeating the same shit as Core had to deal with with scheludes and cranking up new TR non-stop) and ultimately fucked up the "anniversary" by almost a year.

The joke is that there is no "them".
What the game had was a committees. Not a committee, committees, plural. There was one for game design as a whole, one for level design, one for story, one for marketing and one for general game development.
Each of those was working completely disjoined not only from other committees, but from development teams, too. And said development teams worked in separation from each other, too.
The end result is a clusterfuck of mismanagement, akin to early AoD development, with every party within the studio chasing their own goals, disregarding anything else. The differece from AoD, however, was having an unlimited (theoretically, of course) budget AND, more importantly, unlimited time, because SquareEnix was in no hurry with this. So the disjoined mess of a game that was created was put into processing in 2012 to turn it into an actual game from existing puzzles, hammered down to fit the picture and then published. Add to this chasing trends by marketing and you've got TR'13 out of it.
Remember the marketing clusterfuck caused by "your goal is to protect Lara from being raped", never outright stated, but heavily implied in that conference? That's one of the facets of the "everyone is doing their job in separation from others".

Also, important thing to note is that almost everyone who was involved in making LAU (or rather L and U part of it, since A was their B-team and third party) in Crystal Dynamics quit before TR'13 was even in development stage.
By the time work on Rise started, nobody from the "old" employees was there anymore.
Crystal wasn't perfect, but at least when working on LAU, they were trying to respect existing conventions within the franchise. No such luck with nu-Raider.

I know Lara has impossible mechanics, but the thought never leaves my head.
What's the best Lara outfit, and why is it the catsuit she wears on III's London stages?

[Anonymous No.6595974]

>>6595954
I miss how the earlier games were built around acrobatic mechanics. Lara was a master gymnast and the free movement you had in these games where great. Sure it wasn't totally free movement like SM64, but later games started to move away from level breaking moves to more linear and action packed setpiece shit. Sure we always have the old games to play but my dream as a kid was next gen TR and truly open world massive levels.

I like III because of the scope of the levels. India really feels like a jungle.

Well, i beat Thames Wharf yesterday and actually really liked the level (even managed to find 4 of the 5 secrets). Only part i disliked was that puzzle with the yellow robot.
I have heard great things about Aldwych and terrible things about Lud's Gate. Maybe London wont be so bad for me overall unless Lud's Gate is the worst level in the series or something.
I dunno, maybe people hate TRIII because of the PSX version (too dark, limited saves) or i am just starved for TR games. There is something about the level design of TR and Thief that warms my heart. Plus i love cinematic platformers and TR is the best exemple of the genre in 3D.

TR3 was my first. I played it on PC. I had great time with India, then played Nevada (friend suggested doing it first, but didn't tell why, then I obviously understand), then went with London... and I still have bad memories on sole mention. No, just fucking no, those levels were plain and simple terrible. Then thankfully rest of the game happend, and I'm back on track, but London remains a thing that gives me shivers with how ungodly bad it is. And it almost was one level longer, since All Hallows was intended to be 2nd level of it.

I kinda enjoyed the London stages because how much they try to cram (Lara being like a cat burglar jumping over roofs, the underground station, the museum, the TR1 cameo with the sphinx).

I get the first one, but PC fixes that, but the other 2 I don't get. London is the weakest part for sure, but the levels had great moments, and the long slide down at the start was supposed to be sort of a mentality where the difficulty was literally throwing you at a cliff, which if you just came from playing Tomb Raider 1 and 2, is a cake-walk.

TR3's bad bits I would still prefer to play over Diving Area and Living Quarters from Tomb Raider 2....and also Temple of Xian, because its funhouse of traps begins to start irritating me really fucking quickly, and I really hate the aesthetic of it.

What in tarnation are you on about

90s character mascots (at least the human ones) reveled in being one-dimensional archetypes; the whole joke was that they were derivative which worked great when there was only one of each category.
Lara isn't anything special, she's a cardboard cut-out of a character that could go on magazine covers and... literal cardboard cut-outs in stores specifically because she's bold and simple and what you'd call generic if she wasn't the first in her medium.

She's not more than a video game character, she's arguably lesser than any which aren't as broad by design. That's not a knock on her but it was never anything more than a case of the first press kits of that generation with rendered boobies making a splash and then literal decades of references that boob impact fad being a meme.

And Halo was (is) way bigger, c'mon.
I'm not a fan of Halo but you're delusional if you think the titty meme and one titty meme movie had more reach than the bland flagship franchise Microsoft has been shoving down everyone's throats, internationally, including priming for their own eventual shitty dumbass movies and superbowl ads and an endless list of cross-promotions for entire generations.
It's boring as hell but if you tallied up all the pop culture references ever to those tits versus every reference to playin Halo the latter would come out way ahead, easily.

What you're failing to take into account is that Tomb Raider fans are fucking crazy and your perspective is all fucked up.
Like the fact that you'd say that when it's pretty easy to list dozens of characters that fit the bill. Fucking Q*Bert is probably better-known than this bimbo.

Master Chief, forgettable as he is, even fits. My game-hating girlfriend I met in China even knew who he was and told me his stupid Chinese name once.

Finally finished TR3.
From the way people talked about this game, i was expecting that it would have Sonic CD-tier level design and that every level would be full of unfair traps.
Turns out most levels are very good and with the exception of Temple Ruins, the levels are overall fair, with some bullshit here and there.
Even Lud's Gate, which i heard so many bad things about, was actually really cool with all the verticality (yeah, the underwater "maze" was boring but thats it).
The most annoying thing for me in the whole game was controlling the kayak in Madubu Gorge. Hardest thing was the fire path in Lost City of Tinnos. I think my favorite level was Coastal Village, i really enjoyed all the optional paths and it felt very naturalistic design-wise.

Overall, TR IV > I > III > II. I like II a lot but it has too much shooting against humans.

Funny, because that's one of my favourite levels of the whole game. Granted, figuring out how the kayak works takes some time and practice, but once you know how to steer it properly, it's a great level.
My least favourite woud be probably first lvl of Antarctica (like stated earlier, I pretend London just doesn't exist), simply because if you feel like it, you can ignore almost the whole level and bum-rush it with 3-5 medpacks.
