oh yeah, btw, this is purely a Tomb Raider fan account now (cw eye contact) https://awoo.space/media/OrNBb7nV93dXSXAFj8Q
The old movies do have their strong parts, like, for instance, Angelina Jolie who plays Original Lara really well. I mean there's also the plot, but as an okay action movie they're both a good time. The first one is way better though https://awoo.space/media/6wQdvdDtBhRruBkvf9Q
but let's get back to the games, which all had some high-polygon-count renders to go with them. No pointy bits here! (technically, everything from 2 on was non-pointy, but hey, that classic triangle boob look is still a meme)
The level editor will open the actual game's files, I think, which is super cool if you wanna see how they work. There's also a ton of fan-created levels online, including those that were made with a fan-patched version of the TRLE, allowing for more complex modelling and mechanics
Not much to be said about this one. It's bad. The game is bad. They tried to make a new, advanced Tomb Raider but they ran out of time and it shows everywhere. Still an interesting entry in the series and the title that led to the first reboot
I think I'll continue this tomorrow by talking about this gem! For now, good night, Masto!
@Nine I wonder why this is running in Playstation simulation mode
@Nine but, uh, there's a PC version? Which isn't supposed to look that way? It's been a while since I used it but I'm pretty sure it didn't look that way on my computer
Obligatory level editor appreciation post! I really need to play with this more. The Tomb Raider Level Editor came on the game disc (I think 4 and 5, but I'm not sure?) and it's the exact tool the designers used to build the game's levels. It was (and still is) also available online. It comes with a great tutorial written by one of the designers which includes interesting bits about the design of the levels in the actual games.
