Tomb Raider

The first 3 games have been remastered. Can't bloody wait to ogle Lara's pointy boobs again😆.

Looking forward to these. I replayed the first game using OpenLara which looked amazing, but I'd love to play through 2 and 3 with upgraded graphics. I've got them both on my PS1 Classic but it's eye-rapingly bad on a 55inch TV 😂

Never really been that much of a fan of the earlier stuff, but the recent trilogy reboots have been very good.

I'd probably say that the 1st game was my favourite in the modern offerings.

I’ve got this on my wish list, it’s currently at £25 I think I’ll wait when it drops in price. How long time was to complete the games?

 

[RichValver]

Anyone played it yet? Iv heard even with updated controlls they are still a bit shitty to use. Tempted to pick it up

 

[Clio_fool]

Not got it yet but I'll buy it soon. All I remember from the original was how cool lara was jumping about dual wielding those pistols while fighting that dinosaur.

>Shitty controls
There's nothing wrong with the original TR controls, don't let zoomers convince you otherwise

 

[CrippsCorner]

I think some things are best left to (wonderful) memories...

 

[Maccy]

I got it, controls take some getting used to but it brings back memories!

 

[Hixle]

Picked this up for nostalgia feels. Not left the house yet, but it’s done incredibly well.

It’s funny though, the remaster graphics are what Tomb Raider looked like in my head, until you then switch to the originals.

Can’t wait to lock the butler in the freezer.

 

[Hixle]

So close to being perfect.

Save system is a mess, and no level select is odd. I swear you could select levels on the original.

Otherwise, it’s brilliant, so well done. Not bothered with the modern controls, muscle memory from 25 years ago is still there 😂

I'm tempted by it but I have so many games to play I've bought and not touched, what platform are you playing on?

Series X mate.

I love it, but loved the originals. If you didn’t like the originals and expect it to play like a modern game…you won’t like it. At all.

 

[Mr Squashie]

I tried the modern controls and promptly fell off a ledge onto a bear and then died while trying to figure out which button drew my guns. Never again.

I had the original two on PS1, the mansion was always my favourite part of the game though!

Do the cheats work? Up down up down left right round three times and r2 or something?

 

[Hixle]

Anyone still playing?

Finished the Opera House TR2 level last night and it’s bloody hard. I was convinced I completed the game as a kid, but after this, I’m pretty sure I must have just used the skip level cheats and just played the opening area.

Loving it though. 25+ years old and having way more fun with the games than any new stuff.

My new PlayStation is doing its best x box impression.

I.e not being turned on.

Completed TR1 and started TR2. There's absolutely no way I completed any of these games as a kid even though I recall certain levels

Iv had to give it a break though. Will pick it up again. I hear TR3 is the hardest of the lot

 

[Mr Squashie]

Started Quicksave Simulator 2 Tomb Raider 2 today, I must have skipped this when I was a boy because I don't remember it at all, despite having fond memories of 1 and 3.

God the combat is terrible. I wish there was an OpenLara version of this instead of the remaster because they made the guns a bit more effective. I know they were s**t in the original game but I thought they might have been a bit better in a game where you actually have enemies who shoot back at you and can't miss 🤣

 

[Hixle]

Yeah, the first level in 2 makes you think it’s more of that same, but with a difficultly spike. And then, boom, enemies who can shoot you through walls.

Still enjoying it though, about 3/4 of the way through 2.

Bought it this morning as its on sale on the PlayStation. Something to do at the weekend while it's raining.
