![]() ![]() The images Nicobass posted are of Lara on her quad bike and standing in front of Croft Manor. ![]() This is my contribution for the TR3 month, even if it’s from my TR2 remake, many elements of the Croft Manor like the quad bike race are directly inspired by TR3 #TR25 #TombRaider /SDMMOG8ynd- Nicobass April 8, 2021 Nicobass-the creator of the remake- recently posted some new images on their Twitter and the nostalgia they evoke is real. More than five years in the making, this remake is a gargantuan project that looks set to completely remake the 1997 PlayStation One classic Tomb Raider 2– one of the best received titles in the series-and the progress has been incredible so far. It's also a good thing that Crystal Dynamics decided to build the game from the ground up and not settle for a rehash with better visuals.When it comes to video game fan projects, the remake of Tomb Raider 2 by Nicobass is one that has been around for a significant amount of time. The PSP version of the game will mirror the console release in terms of content, though it will add several multiplayer modes. It looks to offer everything a Tomb Raider fan could possibly want in terms of presentation and gameplay. In short, Anniversary looks very promising. It didn't even offer a glimpse of the thing - the screen just shook and there was a roar - but it's probably a remarkable sight, like the rest of the game. Unfortunately, the demo ended right when the T-Rex stomped on the scene. The demo showed a few combat sequences that took place in a lost jungle, complete with packs of nicely-modeled raptors. Speaking of combat, Anniversary has all the bats, raptors and bears that players fought in the first game. And while the demo didn't show it, there's a good chance the slow-mo aspect from Legend will appear as well. Lara can now flip and twirl around her enemies far more gracefully than in the first game. Lara also retains the grapple she used in Legend, so players can expect to swing through certain locales as well. It's a risky maneuver that helps add a level of uncertainty, according to developers. Later in the demo, Lara showed off one of her new moves: perilously hopping between a series of narrow poles. Solving it is a matter of logic, just the way a puzzle should be. Instead of simply placing a few cogs in to get it to work, Lara now has to use her new abilities to scale the massive gears and explore the nearby environment for parts. The brief demo shown to IGN saw Lara exploring ruins near Peru in search of an artifact known as the "Scion." One of the first things Lara encounters is a reworked version of the classic gears puzzle from the first game. Players can set their own pace as they find their way through jungles, caves and forgotten structures. It didn't tease players with lush environments by not letting them explore it the way they wanted and neither will Anniversary. And really, this is precisely what made Legend so fun. There's no need to stand in the perfect spot to make a jump since Lara can latch on to several surfaces and hold on for dear life. Lara can now shimmy along ledges at different speeds and jump toward tree branches and poles with abandon. This includes the context-sensitive sequences and flexible controls. ![]() Everything that made Legend such an enjoyable game will make a comeback. Here's the shortest way to describe it: Anniversary will play like Legend. Crystal Dynamics will follow the same formula Lara's next outing. It embraced the formula set by the first game and simply refined it. Look at the commercial and critical success of Tomb Raider Legend, for example. And really, there's no better way to do it. The developer wanted to make sure Anniversary distils the essence of Lara's first outing by focusing on puzzles and solitary exploration. Players will assume the role of a young Lara Croft as she navigates a series of long-forgotten crypts to find ancient treasures. Lara Croft Tomb Raider Anniversary will follow the same basic path as the original. So when Crystal Dynamics comes along and wants to put out a remake of the original Tomb Raider adventure, there's plenty reason to get excited. Add to this a truly remarkable rise to stardom - think Mario or Sonic - and Lara Craft is easily one of the biggest names in the business. Games had seen their share of vixens, sure, but never had one grabbed the imaginations of gamers as a legitimate hero. It mixed exploration and action with a level of sexiness unheard of at the time. The first Tomb Raider sparked a revolution in the games industry. ![]()
