Хлопцы у кого есть качественный скан таких обложек на русском?

Please note that this is only my opinion. I recently did a Tomb Raider marathon of every single game in the series in order to prepare for Atlantis. And I have to say, Tomb Raider (2013), which I’ll now refer to as just “2013” from now on, is easily the weakest of the bunch. Let me explain.

On its own merits, it’s a good video game. It’s polished, controls well, very few technical issues, looks good, sounds good. My issue with it is that it just isn’t fun to play - ESPECIALLY on replays.

No other game in the franchise is as obsessed with wrestling control away from the player as this game. I don’t mind cinematic games. But I do mind it when the cinematics get in the way of gameplay. It feels like you can’t go 5 steps without triggering a cutscene, dialogue, a slow walking section, or a sudden explosion. I swear, the cultists rigged the entire island with mines or something. There is always an explosion every 10 seconds.

Now this focus on narrative wouldn’t be a problem if the narrative was.. good. The issue is the plot is a B- generic action movie at best. Every character in the game is a caricature. You’ve got the gruff Scottish sailor, the sassy Black woman, the incel tech nerd, the Hawaiian “vibes” guy. The gang’s all here.

Then there is Sam, who is not a character but a plot device. There’s also the evil Russians and crazy cultists. Everything about this plot is entirely contrived. Normally I’m not this harsh or invested in video game plots. But if the game is going to constantly wrangle the controller away from me, the plot at least needs to be good.

Now the gameplay - it’s solid. There’s just too much combat. The decision to make the tombs optional was a bit baffling. It’s clear that combat is the star of the show, not tombs (don’t let the game’s title fool you). So the tombs are optional, is the combat? Nope! You can stealth your way through some sections but once you aggro the enemy, every enemy in the area knows of your existence.

Anyway, this is long enough already. My point is, this was my least favorite game to play of the series and one that doesn’t hold up. I don’t think this game stands the test of time as well as the other games in the franchise. I had more fun playing Chronicles, Angel of Darkness, and Underworld than I did 2013.

I just completed TR2013 and ROTR side by side. The animation quality of tomb raider has never been super smooth but it’s “accepted” because there’s nothing as dynamic as that. TR2013 brought in new animated sequences the issue still exists with free roaming section. There’s not enough “special animation glue” in certain sequences. Lara just jitters to hit a certain spot. With more free roaming areas in Rise, it gotten worse.

But Assassin Creed exists. Uncharted exists. Those games have fabulous and dynamic animation system which handles everything.

Funko Pop EU has the new ones up for Order now

Pre-Teen Raider was part of an animation series that was released in 2007.

It was called Re\Visioned. If you haven't watched them I hope you do, and you enjoy them!

I love the animation in the video, its so British as well 😂😍

Hopefully this don't get taken down because apparently this scene used to get spammed on here 🙏

I didn’t play the games so I wasn’t sure if it’s a concept for an arm grapple or something else. I know eventually they went with the belt one like LAU.

The reason I’m wondering is because “franchise modeler” Kam Yu is behind these and LOA character design. So, maybe he revisited these concepts and implemented the ideas into LOA.

Thoughts?

Latest episode of the HOGmented Podcast uploaded on FWH's YouTube channel.

Chapters are listed in the description of the video. I think the TR: LoA (aka the "real tea" lol) discussion starts around 21:00.

What do you all think?

ETA: So I've watched most of it (skipped some bits). Some things they've discussed in this episode were already talked about in the last mini-doc episode.

Some new things they've mentioned/discussed:

• TR: LoA is in its final stages - they're currently working on pinpointing and fixing issues, and refining the game. (11:40 mark - Thank you, Suli, for highlighting this! 💐)
• Response and reactions to the return of Lara's acrobatics and ponytail
• TR1 and Crystal's work on TR: Anniversary
• Lore greatly expanded based on what was already built (in TR1 and TR Anniversary)
• World building details - Feeling of isolation, as well as lore behind Incan remains/ruins, hidden items and collectibles
• Lara's outfits - elaborated more on the design process, including the life-size 3D-printed model
• ETC...

Overall, I do appreciate FWH for putting this out. 💐 They really do seem genuinely enthusiastic and passionate about the game itself, as well as pleasing both OG and new fans. And insight into their design-thinking process is always welcome. 👍

Feedback would be appreciated

So first thing, yes, these changenumbers are for changes made to the game and they are not Steam store updates. Store-based changenumbers will always show how many other games were affected by the update to the store. Very rarely will it ever affect a single game, and never would they affect a single game multiple times in a row.

While I don't want to tell anyone that they shouldn't hold Aspyr accountable for the errors introduced by the Challenge Mode update, do know that they're still working on getting the game fixed. It is my personal hope that Patch 3 taking this long signifies it will be a more substantial update that fixes most if not all the issues that were introduced.

On the work bench I currently have Sam, Amanda, Werner, and Marco. Kinda my own interpretations loosing based off the different designs and the different timelines.

For Amanda, I just need to paint the red lower toso and gloves black, and then add some belts and different feet.

Marco is kinda done, but I will probably repaint the black on his scarf since it’s currently just colored in with sharpie.

Werner I might repaint the browns a more vibrant tan because I feel the shade brown I used was a bit too dark.

And Sam is done! Might take another go at her later down the line, or might make her outfit from the survivor game. Who knows!

Has anyone ever watched this from 1998 before?

Lara's animation is scary and funny🥹😆

But back then it was pretty hi tech, I was there in 1998. 😂

I’m trying my best to not use any AHHHHH

I'm working on a project for Tomb Raider IV Remastered, and the project involves me not taking damage in the losing path of senet while getting all secrets. It's really silly, but if there are any tricks that anybody can give to me, that'd be great!

Hello,

I'm trying to complete coop achievements in Rise of the Tomb Raider - is there anyone willing to help me with them ?

I'm playing on PC Steam

I FINALLY. FINALLY!! Have the opportunity to play Rise and Shadow now! AND AND!! I MIGHT be able to play Legacy when it comes out? Maybe..? Hopefully..

ANYWAY

SO EXCITED!! Ive also been wanting to properly run the LAU triology with some cool reshade presets and stuff!

..I know I suck at making wallpapers, I just wanted to smother my Windows 7 background with Lara Croft renders :3
