There's an entire custom level campaign called "Tomb Raider: Biohazard" which basically serves as a Resident Evil crossover. It's set in 1993 in Northern Ireland, and involves zombies, the supernatural, and a cursed box.

Jesuschrist OP, thanks. It was so a long time ago of the last thread, yeah.
The last thing a played was TLR. The Alexandria library, i think. So far the game it's pretty good. Riddles, level design, action movie story style... it's all cool. The first levels are hideous compared to what the game has prepared for you desu. But yeah... i know... young Lara is pretty hot.

It's not a thing of your computer, but your antivirus think it's a malware. You may write the game path into its white list or disable the antivirus when you play (remember that after enable it, it will delete your savegame files, so be careful)

and no, if you downloaded the game from trle.net or other official website, the files aren't a virus.

I think I got filtered by TR4. After beating all games from TR1 till TR3, the Cairo levels in TR4 was the section that finally broke me. Platforming on a bike in a dark and ugly level is not fun.
Come to think of it, I still had the most fun with TR3, although TR4 has some pretty neat sections as well.

Right, it was introduced with chronicles though, I believe.

The crystal system in TR1 is good for noobs as it makes them repeat sections, which makes them more proficient at the game and make them less likely to die again.
It doesn't effect more experienced players as TR1's the easiest game in the Core series and they won't be dying often anyway.

[Anonymous No.9106489]

>>9106481
Yeah, fair enough, although I think a patient new player will improve over time regardless of how much repetition they're forced to do (and perhaps the repetition might just frustrate them to the point where they quit). The framerate and draw distance on consoles are absolutely terrible though, especially in 1 and 3.

For some reason I play the original trilogy on my PS1 with a CRT. I run through the first 3 every few years, so damn comfy. Play the Saturn version of 1 on occasion as well. Also, the varies retro PC versions as well. Still think I like the PS1 version the best.

I would like to check out a modern 60FPS version though. Dunno best way to do it.

Anything that scans your entire file system is going to flag as a virus by Win10. Turn off all anti virus software to install. Though, Win10 will randomly turn it back on but that shouldn't be an issue once installed.

For TR1 and 2 use the automated patches

This kind of gameplay is the thing I miss a lot in current gaming. I feel it has some relation with the rise of the indie puzzle gaming genre, where every puzzle game nowadays can only be this: a pure puzzle game. If you look at reviews for any game that has puzzle elements mixed with other stuff (be it time restraints, platforming or whatever) you'll most likely see people crying because they are pretty much disabled and don't have the ability to jump on a fucking platform.

playing with a ps1/2/3 controller with the dpad is what the games were designed around. old school games that only require button presses are always going to be better and easier with a controller (with a good dpad) imo. the more button inputs there are, the more fiddly using a keyboard becomes. with the playstation controller it is easier to walk and strafe/shimmy because it is assigned to the shoulder buttons. i have played using a keyboard, i played angel of darkness using a keyboard back when it came out because and it's fine, but given the choice i would always use the classic playstation controller. i understand why somebody would want to use the keyboard instead of an analog stick though

the fact that the guy you replied to thinks using a controller for tomb raider is weird makes me think that he's probably younger and instantly thinks of modern controllers and analog sticks when he hears the word "controller". the vast majority of people played these games with a ps1 controller when they were released. the tomb raider games have always had a good pc fanbase but they were the minority and even many of those probably used pc controllers to play these games

Chronicles got away with being shit for one simple reason: it wasn't hyped. Core was open it's by-the-numbers filler game, done entirely to keep the lights on and also to give people something to play. The thing that WAS hyped was Level Editor, and it was literally given to people so they would be busy while they are working on AoD.
AoD meanwhile caught full force of flak, because it had even more issues, while being hyped for 3 years straight.

TR3 has a very uneven difficulty curve. It starts off stupidly hard, but then gets easier as levels go by, only to kick you in the balls with Antarctica.

TR3 is my favourite game in the series, but it bugs me that they didn't give you infinite Flares considering how dark it is.
It's fun to light them and throw them around and see the new particle effects. It's a shame the made them green sticks in 4.
Also why did they made climbing with them a deathtrap since 2? What an oversight.

Just poor texture work. The ticket machine you're supposed to use DOES have a one-penny sign when all the others are 2, and you should have a one-penny piece in your inventory, but the actual visual look makes the difference hard to discern and the objects seem like background.
Plus the London levels suffer from a severe lack of direction. Where are you trying to go? Why? What kind of nightmare London even is this? Nevada has it a little bit, but India and the South Pacific and even Antarctica all have much better paths that suggest themselves in each level.
Madubu Gorge might be stupidly coded and quite hard, but you know full well you need to get all the way down that river.
A lot of TR3's obscure paths are down to texture inconsistencies and poor signposting.

[Anonymous No.9125181]

Again, they didn't. And it's not just the DLCs, but the general attitude during production of LAU, with X-Box being the "default" console, something that apparently carried over even after the change of the board and ownership of the franchise itself.

Standard. This is borne out by modern games telemetry.
A huge proportion of younger gamers are too nervous about the main content of a game and splash around the shallow end of the pool (tutorial levels, etc) exclusively. Pretty analogous to real life.

I'm not looking forward for it due to practical reasons, rather than not wanting it to be made. He got a C&D from Squenix on his project and had to can it. There are now two factors to take into account:
- Embracer Group would have to void the C&D (it's still in force, even after the franchise changed ownership)
- Nicobass would want to return it and give back 100% of effort into it, after nearly 5 years of break
In fact, as far as I've understood his posts during covid, he was actually pissed as all hell, because he had all the time in his life due to home office to work on DOX, but he still had that C&D by Squenix, send to him just because, rather than them doing anything with the franchise.
In other words: if Embracer voids the C&D and Nico is back to work, FANTASTIC. It's just how unlikely it is, and first of all, if Embracer Group even KNOWS there is a guy like that and under C&D, then if they care about it.

I'm familiar with some bullshit level design and the backwards decision to bring back the crystal save system to the PS1 version of 3, that's why I'm asking.

Be more specific!
Is it the non-relative controls? If so, just practice and be less stupid.
If it's the jump timing, unironically run the Lara's Home assault course and focus on your timings. Remember that Lara's pace counts you in, you want to jump on the edge and do have a little grace (about one pace).
Lara's abilities are precise. Jumps of various kinds do exactly what they do. You will learn the distances and how to measure on the grid that each level is formed on.

Because one of the great things about her original character is that sex and romance was never a part of it. She was an adventurer dealing with theives, the supernatural and all that other bullshit. She didn't need a romantic foil, and we didn't care about what she wanted to fuck. it just needed to be pure adventuring.

Except nobody did. You just jumped to conclusion, befitting a zoomer retard.
Remember how they've pitched nu-Lara as "you will have to protect her from rape" and then backpedalled from it the next month? Or were you 10 back then and didn't even notice?

I'm skeptical about the whole Embracer Group, for "their" output is best described as "above average, bloated-middle budget games". That's my issue with them. Whatever they announce that won't be about gameplay, level design and MAYBE visuals, is a total non-issue.
Also, what >>9133124 have said. I'm more curious about the fate of DOX than the official announcement, for I know DOX could be ready in a year, while they won't even start conceptualising whatever new, official TR they are planning (or not) to make.

If they were creatively bankrupt, they wouldn't be picking a Sisyphus work that is merging... 7? 8? different continuities. They would just make another game in the line, Legend-style (thus disregarding any pretense of continuity and just moving forward). Not saying that merging anything into a "one true canon" is a good thing, just pointing out it's not the easiest, bottom-line one.
>Also stop speaking on behalf of the other people, you look really silly.

>Zoomers don't give a single shit about TR.
Yeah, this thread shows the very contrary of that. But you might be correct, insofar that zoom-zooms don't care about TR, they care about a fake, purely engineered "controversy", designed entirely to get them hooked and thus spread the buzz for free about this new TR that will be "totally ruined", even if nothing was disclosed about the game itself, and everything can be backpedaled from at any point.
