Shinzon Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Alright, so who is going to get the latest Tomb Raider game? This is designed for anyone with a PlayStation2, by the way. Oh, and this is also not for people who will get the game just to stare at Lara Croft's hotpant-clad arse. Apparently, the gameplay is quite good.

Surfnshannon Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 I'll be getting the game. And I'm a girl so i won't be looking at her arse. Can't wait for the second movie either!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 It's looks good but i dont know if i should get it because Tomb Raider games are becoming repeitive and you do the same things but each game has a different storyline, im just not certain if it would be a waist of money or not, If you can convince me then i'll buy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'jais Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Another Tomb Raider game? More inane camera angles? More unlimited ammo? Forgeddaboudit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agen Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Meh, they're getting riddy of the pis*y pistols :'c and hey, what's wrong with a shockingly badly designed camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCanr2d2 Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Only a single platform release? The days of that are numbered, after all even the XBOX got Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, even if it was just a direct PS2 port..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'jais Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Originally posted by SamFisher I want to get it, but my parents I think will not like it. Why? In Splinter Cell you use other humans as meat shields. You strangle other humans. You aim for the head, as it's more lethal. In Tomb Raider, on the other hand, you run around in underground cave complexes, shooting up pixelated tigers, wolves and bears* with unlimited-ammo pistols. Which is more gritty? *Note: My opinion might be outdated as I quite haven't followed the franchise's latest installments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 better graphics on teh PC?! get OUT! consoles will never be able to keep up with PC's in the graphics department. well, not until you can download new hardware to your console anyway. heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 I used to have the first three Tomb Raider games for the PC...but I didn't even complete the first one. Lack of mouse support in-game was a pretty big oversight - I hated having to use the keyboard for everything. So I just got rid of them all. Few console to PC titles ever get the controls and interface right... Angel Of Darkness looks nice in the graphics department, but I don't expect anything really innovative in the gameplay department. The whole 'Lara on the run' premise is one of the oldest movie cliches... I'll try a demo of it before really judging it...but I think it's highly unlikely that I'll get it. There are better third-person games out there made for PC...like JO...and soon JA... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinzon Posted June 21, 2003 Author Share Posted June 21, 2003 Alright, so I didn't know 'The Angel Of Darkness' was coming out for the PC, but then I have a PlayStation2 which is ultimately better than any complicated PC techno-babble, making sure you have the right graphics card or whatever. I have no games for my PC at all. Anyway, 'The Angle Of Darkness' has been delayed thousands of times because the design team at Core/Eidos have been too busy creating a killer game. This won't be the same repetative gameplay featured in the other 'Tomb Raider' games, but darker, more challenging, scary and gritty gameplay. You even get to control a new character, Kurt, moving away from the femenine charms of Lara and getting down to some hand-to-hand combat. Or so I've heard. As for the new movie, I'm expecting it to be amazing... like the first one. Oh, and for the record the XBox is the WORST games console in the universe. They only got 'MGS2 - Substance' because they saw the success of the game on the PS2 and desperately needed something to make people interested in their terrible brick of a console.

Eldritch Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Originally posted by Shinzon Oh, and for the record the XBox is the WORST games console in the universe. I don't know about that. As someone who owns both PS2 and XBox, I can say that most games that play on both tend to look better on the XBox. The new Controller S is much smaller and while in most cases I do prefer the PS2 controller, somedays the XBox controller just does better. The graphics are definitely starting to get dated on the PS2. And besides, if XBox continues to outsell the Gamecube in most markets, a #2 spot is still pretty respectable. Just try to get a game like KOTOR to run on a PS2... And on an unrelated note... if you have no PC games at all, what are you doing on the forums for a PC game?

Antilles_CL Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Ehh...I'm not much for playstation, or any console system..... PC Powah!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Groovy Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Not getting the game. Not seeing the other movie either, the first one was too wretched for me to be brave enough to sit through another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunatic Jedi Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Well, one improvement I know about is that they're finally getting rid of that abrasive grid system. All your movement is in real time! WHOOPEE! Of course, that doesn't mean a whole lot to me, since I never played any of the Tomb Raider games. However, Angel of Darkness looks pretty good...

toms Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Warning!!! According to gamespots "hands on" this game looks very rushed... they list a whole load of problems with just the first level or two.... then they recommend you don't buy it until you have seen the full review... Hopefully it gets better later on, but it does sound like it was rushed out. And if thats the case then the pc or x-box version might be the one to get, as at least then they might be able to patch it... Anyway, 'The Angle Of Darkness' has been delayed thousands of times because the design team at Core/Eidos have been too busy creating a killer game. heh heh.... thats one way to look at it... ususally when a game is delayed thousands of times it means that they are trying to fix all the problems... I have to say im not really that bothered either way.... i enjoyed all the previous ones, but not so much that i will be rushing out to buy it.... maybe on buddget or ebay...

[/i] I don't know, but I think it has something to do with "Angel of Darkness" for some reason. They did't even let my brother get M:TW because of the title. They think any other game that does not have the title of "Jump Start" is all about "killing" or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunatic Jedi Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Well, I've seen the commercial a few times, and I've already spotted one very evident improvement. The boob physics have been vastly improved! *Bouncy bouncy bouncy* Wait... did I just say that out loud? Oh crap. Eh heh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toms Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 well, all the reviews say the same: good story, good graphics, controls suck, combat sucks, unfinished, not really at all revolutionary, just like the last ones... so i think i will avoid it... ...except Maxim, who gave it five out of five, but i think he was hasing that on the bouncy factor...
