I expect a great multi-platform game Crystal D. Looking atmospheric as ever. Lara looks great, I thought they were making her breasts smaller in the Legends arc, maybe that's just marketing materials.
I also expect those panthers to be freaking smart, make them actually hunt Lara instead of just circle circle pounce, reform. Make her hair get wet if you're going to make her skin get wet too, weight her pony tail a bit more.

Is Legend any good? I quite enjoyed the demo but the shooting mechanics were as expected, awful.

its not gonna be uncharted gameplay. pswii60 was half right that everyone complains about the comparisons.... its valid because although they are adventure games with climbing, exploring etc, the gameplay is different. Its NOT going to be the same. I havent played a TR game in ages, with all the love anniversary and legends is getting, maybe i'll have to pick them up to get ready for this

For fucks sake, can I enter one thread without the Uncharted squad coming in trumpeting about that game.

It's fun, a few slowdown issues (nothing groundbreaking) but the level design is top notch. I'm really enjoying the puzzles. As I never played the original to completion everything seems new to me.

It's annoying but you can pretty much blame it on the people who couldn't enter an Uncharted thread without describing it as Dude Raider all the way through the games development. The shit should stop anyway, Uncharted wasn't trying to be TR and TR doesn't need to try to be Uncharted (and damn sure doesn't need to be like AC which is also being brought up). They're different games.

your the guy who trumpets AC in every thread... its definitely an understandable sentiment, and the comment came up because I am playing uncharted right now, and have a certain dislike for this serious, and I thought this looks decent...but you are a bit of hypocrite
Personally, I'd love to play a proper adventuring **** raider game that looked as good as Uncharted.
As good as Uncharted is, there wasn't enough platforming for my tastes. If Crystal Dynamics get it right, I'll be there. If not, then its another Tom Braider game I ignore, and believe me, I've ignored them all since Tom Braider 2.

The comparisons are valid, just not here. Uncharted relies more on shooting while **** Raider rests heavily on the platforming and puzzle solving aspects of the character driven adventure genre.
Anyways, I have confidence in the gameplay CD is going to deliver, but if this new model is any indication of the new art style, I'm not liking it one bit. I dig the dark, dim, and grim atmosphere, just not a forty-five year old Lara Croft who...actually, it's best I don't describe exactly what I was thinking.

But that's exactly why the comparison isn't valid because of what you just described. Their focus is entirely in different areas. If TR played like Uncharted where it had a heavy emphasis on combat people would hate it no matter how well they pulled off the combat because it'd no longer be TR.

Still, the games are very much alike. I could understand how Assassin's Creed and Uncharted can be an unfair comparison, but Uncharted and **** Raider: that's the ideal comparison. Uncharted's adventuring-to-shooting ratio is 40/60 while **** Raider's is 60/40 --- it by no means indicates that the titles aren't comparable.

I dont really like the style of it, but I do like the gameplay found in the 2 recent T-Raider games.

You can compare pretty much any game, and yeah Uncharted and TR are basically in the same genre. I just don't think they're very much alike and both are obviously trying to achieve different things. Its very much like MGS and SC. They're both stealth games but they both have a very different approach to the genre.

I can see this is going to be a losing battle with the new generation of Sony fans who have only just played Uncharted. I can't wait until they show more Indy, the spilled blood will be delicious.
Lest we forget that Lara was once a franchise that was synonymous with PlayStation, pivotal to console's success and opening up gaming to a new market. Lara has more to prove than Uncharted, but dead? Go screw yourself GAF.

How is he right? Legend and Anniversary have proven the series still has legs. Many of the same people who started hating the series around TR3 have since become a fan of it again because of those 2 games. CD basically revived it.

TRL was actually the first game in the series where I really enjoyed it, Anniversary was even better than that. I honestly couldent care less about the previous grid based games, but the new style of **** Raider games are fantastic.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Put me down in the "**** Raider was complete shit until Legend" column. Tank controls in a platforming-heavy game? Are you fucking kidding me?
Now, Legend... there's a game I can get behind. When my biggest complaint is that the game is too short, (really another compliment) you know the developer is doing things right.

*looks hard at it* I guess your right. Maybe its just the facial expression that has me thinking it looks a bit better than a different picture of her model. I want to believe!
As far as Uncharted gameplay mechanics mixed with TR. That'd be nice. Better shooting, some cover, etc when fighting against men, but with a game that still heavily relies on great platforming and the like.

I think they confirmed fighting against humans is going to be at an all time low in this game. Seems like you can use the environment really well to use it as an advantage in this game, climbing a pole and shooting from that is really much smarter than stop and pop.Dark FaZe said:
Probably my favourite thing that they have shown so far.

That's how I feel. The first thing I noticed is that the Lara Croft model here looks much more realistic and believable compared to what we saw with previous games in the series. I'm sure some of the design aspects of the old model were tied to technology limitations of gaming hardware circa 1996, and Crystal Dynamics did a good job of updating that for the last couple of games, but this looks like an even bigger step forward.

The old model is all Toby's doing. He didn't want her to look realistic so as a result she was given big eyes, big lips, huge boobs ect.
