Before joining this forum i saw a topic about if you were in charge of Tomb Raider what would you do. I thought long an hard about this and so heres my full proof plan on how if i were in charge of Tomb Raider to please all the fans
(with maybe the acception of fans of TR3, TR Chronicles, and Legend)
My Timeline of games i would release in the series along with the year and the console
Tomb Raider -1997, Playstation
I would release this game i 97 with the graphical power and arstyle of number 2 and give them time to include touchups to the puzzles and add things they didnt have time to before the release date. Also the control system would be similar to 2 but the aspect from AOD in which you grab ledges and hold onto them you wouldnt have to hold the button to hold ono the ledge. That aspect would be carried through through future games and the controls would be like number 2. Also in the final version the levels from Tomb Raider Gold would be available after beating the game once
Tomb Raider 2- 1998,Playstation
The game would have the sprint move and it would have the graphical power and arstyle of number 3 and the controls would be same as 3. Also in the final version the levels from Tomb Raider 2 Gold would be available after beating the game once. The manor in this game would be the same as 2
Tomb Raider 3:The Last Revelation- 1999, Playstation and Dreamcast
Number 3 wouldnt exsist so the last revelation would be dubbed as number 3
Also Chronicles wouldnt exsist either but the scenes of Laras death reaching the world , Her funeral, The conference in her manor with the people and Von Croy finding her backpack would all be included at the nd of The Last Revelation. I would give this game the graphical power and arstyle of Chronicles. The controls would be the same as number 4. The Times Exclusive level would be included in this game as well
Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness- 2006, Playstation 2
This my fav game in the series and i would want it to be perfect and the story arc within one game. It would have the artsyle of AOD but a tad bit more gothic and the character models would recieve a graphical overhall and the Lara character model wouldnt be the one from legend but it would be the early AOD model made by Crystal Dynamics. Graphical detail would be on par with annivesary edition or God of war and the wetness and dirt on the character models would show like in AE and Legend. All beta items,characters,animations and levels would be in the final version along with the plot aspects that were cut out from the final version. The intended trilogy that AOD was supposed to be covered in one version but most likely a two disc set because it would be alot for the PS2 to handle on one disc. The strength upgrading, Chosen dialouge aspects, and grab meter would all be discluded from the final version. The controls of AOD would be tweaked to the point where it would have TR Legend and TR Anniversary's quick responses and TR AOD's animations but with fluency and lack of clunkiness unlike that of Anniversary and AOD. Also the stealth mode would be tweaked a little better but nothing too heavy. Kurtis would play like a mix between lara and the guy from Psi-ops. and This game would officially close the Von Croy story arc and prove lara as innocent and Kurtis would live in the end. The gun and aiming system would be a step above the auto lock on in AE but you would be able to manualy hit specific parts of your target and dual weild as well along with the duck and cover system in the beta of Legend.Also i would test out testing shooting from any position that youre in( like on a rope on ladders in crouching mode, in commando crawl mode etc...)The camera system would be tweaked so that it doesnt jerk around so much as well.
Tomb Raider Legend- 2007, Playstation 2
I would drop the story from that Legend had in favor of something less emotional. That Lara trying to find her mother plot is too similar to the father plot of the movie so aspevcts of the Legend plot can be included in the tr movie. A new plot would be made (and idk what it would be because i havent thought of one lol) . The biography would be the same as the original. The menu theme would be the same as in legend but the rest of the music would be done by the London Symphony Orchestra.The level design would be like classic Tr games with multiple paths to go about your task and not linear like Legends and would incorporate a variety of classic TR like puzzles Zip and Alister would be included in the game on the intercom but they wouldnt be as frequent with help and commentary as in legend. They also wouldnt have their own sections in her mansion but a shared room and which they have their own tools to work and would only be featured in this game. The manor also would be remodeled as an updated version of 3 with a mixture of Anniversary's. The overall structure of the manor would be like the old manor back in the PS1 days.
Beta moves like the wall jump and shooting on a ladder would be included as well as the wall run and pole hopping from TR AE but they wouldnt be so glitchy . The grapple would be removed because it animates horribly no matter what way you look at it so wall runs would be done by ropes and vines near walls. Binoculars would be included in the game but w/o the RAD mode. All the characters from TRlegend would be included in the game but with different roles according to the plot(Amanda would still be evil).
All of the current levels and planned levls planned in the Legend storyline and the Beta levels would be included in one game.
Tomb Raider 6- 2008 or 2009 Playstation 3
This game would have a new plot as well and alll the levels not used in TR3 and TR chronicles would be in this gam along with a batch of new exotic locations. A possible return of Kurtis would be in the game as well but in a RE4 Leon and Ada way where Kurtis would pop up with his own agenda. The mansion would be the size of two mansions with detailed upper and lower floors.The characters from TR3 and TR chronicles would be included and given different roles in the plot
So thats my ideal way of how i would run TR if i was in charge ha do you guys think? Alot of stuff was from the top of my head but i rembered almost all i could.
