/vr/ - Retro Games

[Anonymous No.8973064]

I feel like the old tomb raider games are some of the least talked about retro games despite their high popularity during the time.

[Anonymous No.8973080]

>>8973064
maybe it's their low accessibility?

[Anonymous No.8973086]

Are you joking

[Anonymous No.8973090]

>>8973064
Not at all. I love them, true /vr/ loves them. These games just have things stacked against them in 2022. The controls are the prime low IQ filter, and Lara is sexist, so trannies and cuckolds won't really touch them.
If you do a deep dive on the development cycle you'll start to appreciate the series even more, Core did some great stuff considering their nonstop crunch.

I hate that fucking predictive snapping so much.
In the crystal dynamic games you can't tell which jumps you can make like in the old games. The game has to make that snippy snappy thing were you suddenly jump twice the distance because it's some setpiece shit. But then you have shit you could easily reach, but it wasn't programmed to be climbable so you get killboxed. Or worse, some part is climbable but the game screws up the prediction and you wander around the level for half an hour thinking there must be another way and you can't just pull out a lightsource to take a better look. Fucking Rise.

Imagine being so fucking young, the ONLY recollection of TR you have is the '13 reboot, yet showing up on a fucking /vr/ out of all places.
It always confuses me - why the fuck zoomers, literal fucking zoomers, show up on this board. Even with the date set to '08, you are too fucking young to catch up on ANY of those games, even the tail end of the 6th gen. I mean you are what? 20? 22? That would mean you were in your fucking diapers when the Core era wrapped and probably still struggle with reading by the time of LAU was done.
So what the fuck are you doing here?

>>8974164
If you can't play a 1-5 TR after going through Croft's manor obstacle course, you might unironically have some sort of neurological disorder or problem with your muscle control. The controls are super-precise, and unlike your average tank control game of that era, everything is build around them, rather than simply having them. Meaning pulling shit like pic related is a matter of simply playing the game.

You posted absolutely ZERO evidence to support this claim, which everyone who has played these games knows to be false anyway.

No, not really. 3D "platforming" games were still so new that there wasn't much to compare it to. So, even if the controls were shitty, we wouldn't have necessarily known that. But, the controls weren't shitty and still aren't. Pretty much any control scheme, even "tank controls" can be just fine so long as two conditions are met: 1) the gameplay and level design are built around the control scheme and 2) the player is not a fucking moron. In the case of TR, condition #1 was squarely met. However, in your case, condition #2 was not, so wipe the drool from your face and go play flappy bird.

>>Does anyone have any good pictures of the labyrinth creature from tomb raider Chronicles? iirc even the guide I had didn't have a picture.

I haven't cheated but played the PC version with the draw distance greatly enhanced and the area outside of the ship is just a big underwater cave, so if you swim up you'll just hit a rock ceiling eventually.

TR2 having multiple levels that start you off underwater and expect you to trial and error your way into the solution before drowning were retarded.

Anyone else found the modern controls of LAU total ass compared to tank controls? I mean the camera automatically turns when you move left or right, which screws you over when platforming.
This shit still exists today in platformers and there is almost never an option to turn it off. Only third person shooters don't do this shit.
I replayed the Tenchu games recently and it's baffling how much better tank controls are in hindsight once you get used to them.

The TR games are mostly unplayable relics that lost any novelty 2-3 years after their release when basically every other 3D action-adventure game played better than them. Sales and critical reception fell off a cliff after the second game, and the entire series was just copy pasted Assassin's Creed tier shovelware by the end of the 90s and into the early 2000s. The Lara Croft character itself was far far far more notable than the games themselves ever were.
The games are discussed here more than basically anywhere else, because they hit tons of generic shitposts bullseyes, like coomer character design which usually veers into some schizo rant about she's and marxism, brit game development, the fact they have an incredibly successful reboot so you get to be a hipster contrarian, etc.
Basically the series is only "discussed" here more do to the guaranteed shitposting that this website has trained everyone like Pavlov's dog for, and it's ignored in other circles as a game that was impactful and important at release, but holds no real value in the modern day, like Goldeneye or Virtua Fighter

At least you get plenty of threads on /vr/ about it, you know what's the one series I remember getting sorta big, but that no talks about anymore? Syphon Filter.

Noone cares about low drawdistance in a 25 year old game. Having infinite drawdistance doesn't make it look good.

Eh, for all the supposed edge of 2013's death animations, CORE TR deaths were still more creative and impactful. Half of the fun was checking how many unique animations are there and in how many ways you can get Lara killed.

That would be a tank with a turret. What is understood as tank controls is that up and down will always move the character forward or backward regardless of the cameras orientation, same with left and right rotating the character towards that direction. It isn't as pronounced in Tomb Raider since the camera always follows behind her. If it was an isometric game with tank controls such as Crusader No Remorse then you'll be feeling the tank controls a lot more, but on the other hand it has both absolute and relative options for controlling your character.

[Anonymous No.8981751]

>>8981731
That's not how a tank's controls work though, you have two sticks, one for each set of treads. To move forward you push them both. To curve left you push only the right one forward. To rotate to the left in place, you push the right one forward and the left one backward.

38yo boomer here. There was a lot of drop-off after TR2. Core was ahead of their time trying to make the franchise an annual release thing that’s now common place. Also, the quality of each new release kept decreasing.

I wonder how the series would had evolved if team hadn't been burn out and the executives didn't had meddled with AoD. The series started going for a more urban setting since TR3 but at least it still had tombs and some of the locations in Chronicles were interesting (the ghastly irish island, rome).

The real Lara won't come back and gaming will forever be worse for it. A real pity.

Eh, unless it's 100% classic Lara (face, body, personality, style, weapons, no scanface, no photorealism and gameplay similar in spirit) and 0% reboot shit I'm still done with the series.

So far Embracer announcement is to pull something similar to LAU and TopCow comics - things probably happened, but aren't dwell upon and the games just roll forward with their own stuff. Considering Embracer is bound on using old IPs to appeal to OLD fanbases, I'm cautiously optimistic about their goals. Because at the very least we can get next LAU-like game

[Anonymous No.8984116]

>>8984086
So far they didn't change anything at all in anything TR-related.
Mobile game keeps being developed by a single person (or maybe 2) at snails pace.
Next mainline game is getting developed with Unreal engine 5, no any new announcements after info about merging timelines.
No announcements about any kind of spin-offs.
I'm afraid nothing has changed at all.

Speaking of which:
What's the current legal status on DOX?
As long as Squenix had the rights, they've send Nico a C&D and forced him to drop the project. Now they no longer have the copyrights, so technically Nico is in the clear... but did he announce anything, or dropped the project for good?

[Anonymous No.8984193]

>>8973064
Maybe with the casual masses but not so much on here. I think this is because despite TR back then getting universal acclaim and sales, most casuals of today realize they don't got the chops to go back to those games or they might think that the games are too dated to enjoy today since you know, they are casuals with shit taste. TR franchise is actually surprising how much of a filter it really is against these people.

Christ, the Cairo section in TR4 is filtering me something awful. It's such an ugly, confusing hub that just keeps going and going. And platfirming on a motorbike can fuck off.

I know what you mean, I didn't break a wall with bike on the first leap and then tried to search for the way forward with Lara on foot which was impossible. I wouldn't have beaten it without walkthrough for sure.

[Anonymous No.8986994]

I guess I get the idea behind the section, but the way to actually progress is so obtuse, it's nearly impossible without a walkthrough. At least in previous sections there was some covoluted logic behind it, Cairo is just wholly trial and error. Also, this level is dark and ugly.

Such us? SE did highly atypical move for them and handed copyrights without any extra caches or issues, so unless I'm missing something, there is no actual extra baggage here
