Arx Fatalis has pretty much the same level design, stemming from Ultima Underworld/System Shock, tile-based maps with adjustable heights for tiles, and then the gameplay design is somewhat different

i had my audio off and clicked that page into a tab
was confused when i heard audio then i saw web support listed elsewhere
browsers have maybe supported unity since like '14 and related use probably have had graphics demands sort of reaching ps2, so essentially this board
it still is attached to garbage collection thus memory usage and dropping performance should be fun

Stay outside the pentagon made by the metal tiles. Here's a better question, why does a GREEK ruin use the ROMAN name of a GREEK god in LATIN text, and reference a NORSE god?

That would means the ruins are less than 1000 years old, the Norse religion is one of the younger belief systems.

What's the definitive way to play the game?
PCGamingWiki lists a fucktonne of fixes and missing content/gfx. Does OpenLara include these or do you miss out on that sort of thing in favour of QoL with OpenLara?
PS1 version looks nice but it runs like ass
>>7492653
Never seen this before, neat, even has some people playing cpm. With q3 as long as they are not using pak0.pk3 it's fine, seems to me they are using a demo build as a base.
Kinda sad that the trend of 3d hardware browser games died, things like legions overdrive and other stuff was cool.

TR1 has 3 options to be played, DOSBox, Glidos version and OpenLara. It's personal which one is definitive to you but the most modern way with the least hassle is definitely OpenLara (standalone version, not web version).
Glidos has been around since ages and while it runs okay, iirc from the 3rd level or so a watermark will appear asking you to pay up, to remove the watermark.
Dosbox is the most purist version, but it looks the most shit

>> No.7498302

>>7498240
Dosbox looks fine to me I just can't be arsed trying to figure out what fixes/mods I should be using as a first time player.
Thief gold has a lite version of the fan fixes that keeps the game vanilla, so does Deus Ex. If TR had something like that or OpenLara had all the content then i'd be down for that.

>> No.7498441

>>7498302
If you're gonna use Dosbox (meaning the original TOMB.EXE by Core Design) you don't need that much extra, it runs okay as-is. There is an annoying crocodile bug in one of the later levels that can damage you through walls, but there's a fix for that. Also i would suggest changing Lara's blocky playermodel for the higher polygon TR4 one (and adding a braid at the same time, normal TR1 lara is braidless), there are also mods for this.
Have a look at the '4chan dospack' going around here, it has the above fixes already patched in. Also you should always run at 640x480, the default 320x200 is unplayable

The Polish fella’s links above has TR gold with all you need, fixed music etc. DosBox with 3DFX looks great imo and the expansion is a bit shit anyway. If you’re that strung out on outdated graphics then /vr/ isn’t the place for you
