I don't know if it's only my imagination but I can see backpack on the leaked concept with Lara holding the torch (she has something black around her shoulder - it looks like black belt) :) I don't know.... :) so maybe she has her backpack from the very begining :)

It's possible, I always thought she was wearing layered shirts...who knows.

Something we definitely need to keep in mind with the two concepts featuring Lara is the type of concept they are. Perhaps The horse concept is from a cutscene. Maybe the concept with Lara and the torch is not to show off Lara and her outfit but to show off the items.

She might has the horse as a "vehicle" maybe she will be able to use the horse as a weapon (I mean the horse could kick an enemy) and maybe the horse will be really in cutscene only and we (Lara) can't ride it. But I would like to raid the horse :)

I'd love to ride the horse, I'd think the horse would just run over enemies knocking them off their feat.

However...maybe enemies can grab onto the horse and weigh it down and scratch at Lara.:)

yeah I've already read the possibility of grab-able enemy but I think it would be too difficult to do it for the developers no? Someone described one of the leaked art. The one where Lara is raiding the horse. Is said one of the enemy is grabbed on the horse but I can't see it. It looks more likely to me that the enemy was thrown by the horse legs ....

Enemies grabbed Lara in TRA. It can't be that hard to do. Professionals will know.:)

:vlol: maybe the horse used to be the creature's vehicle and Lara stole it :) and maybe that's the reason of the fight on the leaked concept :)

I do not want to delve into Lara's past again. I found her more interesting when all I knew about her is that she likes to explore and is a renowned archeologist. None of this mummy, daddy and friendship crap. Leave that for the soap opera's.

Why? It's nice to have an eemotional character in an adventure game.I don't TR9 will have anything to do with her parents or Amanda though.

Hey wouldn't it be great if CD made a game where we could play with Lara in her first adventures? Lemme explain,in her bio it says that she has discoverered the Arc of the Covernant,The philosopher's Stone etc.We never got to see any of these adventures,not as a main game of course but as a side one.What about a game for Lara's 20th annivesary? xD

I already explained why.

And no, we do not need an emotional Lara. We need a strong Lara that can hold her own in a fight without crying over lost parents and trying to bring back her old loved ones. Her only reason to do what she does should be for the thrill and adventure.

Also a no on the the last part. We already know that Lara is famous for finding these things, we don't need to know or see how she done it. I already know she's a strong character, I don't need to watch her evolve any more. I just want her to do what she does best; Explore.

I didn't ever actually see her crying,as for her parent's and Amanda wouldn't you want your parents and your best friend back is something had happened to them?I would.Many people would say no if I asked them that question...but is this really a truthfull answer?

Absolutely agree with you. Lara should has some emotions as a human. She is not killing monster, she has emotions and I like it.

The more I think about it the more I would love an infiltration level. We could have Lara sneaking onto a cruise ship or into a casino and then I'd also love a bike chase or car through the city where we have to follow an enemy to a hidden location in order to track them down. :)

She was about to cry after she shot her mother off the ledge. Natla just got there in time to stop her.

Yes, I would want to find out what happened to my parents and my friend if they died. And I would want them back. But, Lara's parents should never have died. They were still alive before CD took over. As for Amanda, I do think Lara was right to find the truth of her demise. If CD had of just kept that as the main storyline, I would be happy.

Ok, I don't want to go through another game of how Lara came to be. And I don't want to play as some beginner-rate adventurer, I'd rather play as a skilled expert.

The Japanese island thing just doesn't appeal to me. The location seems rather murky and uniform.

It's reasonable to not want to sit through another becoming of Lara Croft. I can understand that. Also not liking the local or that it is a sort of...well...cliche deserted island, I am sure they will spice it up.

As for playing as beginner-rate. I don't see Lara's inexperience effecting what we can and can't do in the game. We would die...I know like 90% of the fan base would hate to not have full abilities.:)

Ah, that is a reasonable answer. :)

The reason why it appeals to me is because it actually sounds like an adventure, and finally some good exploration. Which is what Tomb Raider is all about.

I too, do not wish to delve into her past and see how she became who she is today. We already know who she is, there is no need to explain her back story with another game. However, the leaked concepts, if they have gone unchanged, sounds like a brilliant story for Lara. It has everything a Tomb Raider should. If this time, CD actually went the whole 9 yards and created that full on Tomb Raider atmosphere, I will be a very happy man.

This also seems to be a reboot story, re-writing her past. Not exactly a "showing us what happened" story, but more of a "this is what it is now, and this changes everything". If you get what I mean..? lol

Yeah I don't think they'll make her weak and hopeless but I can just sense her being completely defenceless, at the beginning at least. I'm looking forward to Lara having cool moves and an array of weapons and maybe a vehicle of some sort. Also, I can sense her character being really naive, I'd rather she have a strong character from the get go.

Specifically at Scremanie, I understand and agree. Though by "reboot" they could mean a new, unlinked story rather than disregarding the CD timeline. Even so, her Legend/Anniversary/Underworld character isn't well developed enough for anyone to care, to be honest :p

Didn't her father died in TR2
I think that leaving the same storyline would be stupid,the old games where Core's games while the new ones are Crystal's.(Anniversary was just a little something to remember the first game.)As for the emotional Lara I think Toby wanted her that way,not Crystal.I heared it somewhere in this forum...I don't remember where though.

I am fairly certian TRA wasnt just for fun. They obviously wanted to make it seem like Natla would be back. I agree that if did just stuck to finding Amadma alive again and by hunting for the same artifact (they were bound to at some point in their lives) and left out the family from LAU it would of been better. Lara wouldnt have the motivation of finding things because of her missing parents and she would be a bit more interesting. I dont mind Lara being emotional as long as its anger and not sadness. The day Lara starts crying in a game is the day that I would tell her to 'cry me a river, then drown in it'.

Yes, I would cry. But Lara is not me. That was not her mum, as Lara stated, it was just a thrall. Sure Lara could have gotten upset, but there was really no need to collapse on the floor and have a cry out. Her mum was presumed dead for the past 10 years or so, that is enough time for her to take in the reality. I know it seems harsh of me to say this, but Lara should not have been so soft. I am glad it's over now though. But like I stated before, her mum should have been alive still. I do not like the fact that her mum was her anchor and that she was the only reason why Lara started exploring. And no, her dad was still alive.

Also, you can still make a new story without changing her BIO. CORE done it for the last 8-9 years, as do other gaming developers with their characters after each sequel. I fail to see why CD are the only exception. I get that they were a new studio taking on a new project, but there was really no need to change her whole background and back story just to create a new storyline for their game.

And no, Toby Gard did not want Lara to be an emotional train wreck. He made her as a strong, sophisticated and well thought out woman.

I could see they would want to modify it and make it streamlined to be less confusing, but they went over board by rewriting her past, not editing some information out. Not only did they do that but Natla has been involved in Lara's life since her mother become a thrall. It was just overkill on the whole background.

However, I can see why they want to make a new origin story for Lara. They forced themselves into this weird spot where Lara is really has no history or purpose so now they have to go back and revamp it again.

In the future I'd like them to have a very basic background, and just edit parts of her history...not expand and complicate like both developers have done so far.

Some things I noticed during my recent play through TRU, I know I will sound harsh at the most points but this is all for making the game better.

- Most of Lara's animations don't transition properly for eg; when I was on the boat, I was walking then I made Lara walk over to the edge, out of nowhere she jumps from one location to another and does the animation where she isn't balanced. I hope you could fix this in the next games, it is very unattractive and makes you look very lazy.
- Lara's animations are VERY fast, when swimming I couldn't control her properly, when climbing up any ledges, blocks, platforms she climbs VERY fast. I really hope this is fixed because it makes Lara look like a robot malfunctioning and it makes you look very unprofessional.
- When Lara wants to use her camera for some reason she sticks it to her eye, when in cutscenes she looks into the screen. It makes Lara look pretty stupid.
- This is for every single cutscene in the game here's an example; In Mexico, right after opening the gates to Xibalba, in Gameplay when driving the bike into the room with the spikes Lara goes straight in right where the spike pit is and then the screen fades and Lara is at the gate. Why can't you just make it fade to the cutscene where it is supposed to? :confused:

^ I don't get it.. :p

Continuing from my previous post:

- A little more action. Action makes a game what it is and yes, I know all you will say is "Tomb Raider is about adventure" well, if Lara is facing thousands of mercenaries don't you think they will use different weapons? Like an RPG? TRU was terrible when it came to combat. I think it's time for something new and the only way you can do it is by working hard and closely looking into it.
- Why was it that whenever I shot the mercenaries they would cringe? They looked very wrong and weird. Also what about the cloning system you had, why were they all identical? At least change their faces around or give them different levels of armour or something.
- When playing through Jan Mayan island, I never saw snow. Yes, I know the textures are covered in snow but I never actually saw snow, Lara just walked on normal floor.

Lukass
19-09-10, 17:20
What was very "interesting" in Underworld was that if you chose the white swimsuit (after finished the game) Lara's steps sounds like she's wearing her heavy boots. If you have normal wetsuit her steps sounds normaly - barefoot.

Hmm.. Well, here's some things I'd absolutely love to see in Tomb Raider 9:

- Practice Level in Croft Manor (that is way more explorable)
- Lots of locations
- Lots of unlockable outfits
- The choice of a braid or ponytail
- More fighting moves when/if left without weapons (such as punching and whatnot)

I know there's more, but I'm not great at thinking of everything off the top of my head at once.

NO RUN BUTTON !! I hate how people just race through levels like an insane person I bet if there was no run levels would feel alot longer for alot of people I don't use it at all I hate the silly button they should go back to just her gentle jogging

they should keep in the slow mo mechanic ( where you can slow down time not the adrenaline moment) thought i was pretty kick ass watching lara mid air reloading and kicking ass :D I like the free climbing aswell looks very realistic and cool :D but i want more larger and more ambitious and large environments with like 7 ways to complete the level so you can do it different every time

I thought I was the only one who hated the sprint ability.I'm glad it was removed and I hope they won't add it again,but if they add it in the future I'll just don't use it :D

I'd love to have a multiple choice about which way to complete the level,it's just awsome!!!

Adding a parachute would be also great,there was one in Legend but only in Kazakhstan.I'd die to see Lara gliding over waterfalls and jungles and cliffs!!!

for the next gamne id REALLY love a game that travels back in time. somethign similar to chronicles where lara is possibly in a press conference and explaining some untold stories. and each level/story would be an untold adventure from each of the previous games so you would get to play as a different looking lara in each level

anyone think this could be quite a good idea for a game or am i just losing it?:jmp:

I think im mainly wanting to dwell int eh past is because i just loved the direction in which the old core lara was being taken in, she was looking quite gothic and she STILL had her braid. im never going to get over the fact that the new lara doesnt have a braid lol! to be honost id just love a game with alot of strategy puzzles and physical assault courses with a great sotryline.

oh, an idea i just has, fr the next game id love to see the old manor. since the CD one was blown up and apparently she has 3 manors in total. its very likely we'll get to see a new manor. and hopefully it will involve and outdoors assault course like the CORE games

If I could advise one thing for CD not to do, it would be: Please CD, cut back on the pressure pads! :D

:tmb:

They need to make more interactive enviroments. It would be awesome if walls crumbled and trees and bushes collasped because of external forces. If Lara is fighting a group of mercs with a RPG they could shoot an opening into a tomb allowing Lara to escape. Or she could just find a different route all together. I dont want the enviroment to break only when Lara needs to progress though.

Learns the moves that your using and try different tactics and you have to do the same to them!! and no triggered enemies I hate how you walk somewhere past a mark then they react even though they could have seen you from like a mile away.

While it is fresh in his mind the Creative Director should do a nice detailed article with the fans in mind of how the game went during pre-production. Since TR9 is likely to have the longest pre-production of any Tomb Raider game it would be interesting to a lot of fans to know the effect that had on the game, and how the change in ownership effected that process. Then during the build up to the game we could get both the original article as written and a podcast discussing the development of the game.

Linoshi Croft
23-10-10, 23:48
:tmb: ^^

I've got one great suggestion , announce it already :(

tachyon
24-10-10, 15:58
1. Some randomisation of the gameplay, so you get a slightly different experience each time you play a certain section. IMHO this would greatly enhance replayability. Currently, we know that the moment we cross this mark, this enemy will atttack, or this trap will be sprung. This will make it tougher for game challenged guys like me, :o but I'm sure die hard gamers would like it.

2. Allow multiple paths through the level. To a large extent there seems to be just one linear path through the terrain. Correct me if I'm wrong - I tend to rely too much on walkthroughs. :o As a compromise, to avoid casual gamers from getting hopelessly lost, the game should at least have a slightly different linear path each time that section is played. This is not as difficult to create as one would suppose - move a wall here, a blockage there, that's all it would take.

3. I would love to be able to play as child Lara. (If any opportunities exist in current versions, please point me to them :jmp: ). Maybe the game developers could borrow from the Terminator storyline and send an enemy back in time to try and snuff out the child Lara. Anyone watch the Kick-ass movie? Hit-girl style action from the child Lara would be terrific. Even Nancy Drew kind of gameplay would be better than nothing. :ton:

4. I mentioned in another thread the ridiculous amount of gear Lara mysteriously carries around with her. Caching weapons along the way, necessitating backtracking to retrieve something you mistakenly thought you wouldn't need, would make us think hard about what to cache and also lengthen gameplay.

Tomb Raider cutscenes are generated by the engine rather than being pre-recorded CGI "movies". While getting such gorgeous cutscenes would be nice, there are also disadvantages to using pre-recorded CGI footage.

Linoshi Croft
29-10-10, 01:06
^^

What are the disadvantages ?

aussie500
29-10-10, 01:26
^^

What are the disadvantages ?

Some of the disadvantages would be.

-Alternate outifts will not be seen in the cutscenes

-There will be less space for the actual game.

-The obvious difference between the graphics of the game and the CGI footage

-Costs more to do CGI than engine created cutscenes.

Personally I would rather the CGI, but then I like a long game and I doubt I will get both in the same game. I used to look forward to seeing the FMV in the old games, and the differences in graphics are not going to be as jarring as they were back then. I am not that addicted to alternate outfits that I am going to want them in the cutscenes. I get a reasonable length game with gorgeous CGI cutscenes made with full motion capture including facial animations I would probably think it the best Tomb Raider game ever.

Linoshi Croft
29-10-10, 01:28
Agreed :) I love what CGI can do on forms of realism and I a hundred and gazillion agree with facial as well as body motion capture it brings the game to life :D JUST LOOK AT ENSLAVED O_O I have never felt for characters as much as I did in that game they just felt so real :vlol: Like I actually knew them , that's kinda sad ain't it :p but yeah because of that I cared so much about the characters and felt for them more in situations

The 2 longest games I ahave ever played were GTA4 and Fallout 3, one clocking in at 25 hours and the other at 32 hours, these are closely followed by the MGS games. I never got bored once exploring the worlds in those games, because the worlds were so rich and so fun to explore, that is why I hope TR9 is open world, if any game would suit that, to an 'assassin's creed' extent it would bt TR... and Assassin's creed, obviously!

Linoshi Croft
29-10-10, 14:57
Assassins Creed 2 was probably about 40 hours . . I'm not sure I would want a Tombraider game that long :vlol: and it was only that length because of the hundread extra missions maybe tombraider should have loads of mini missions Guardian of Light Kinda had them with the reward challenges

There are some things I'm gonna miss from the trilogy though.Amanda,Lara's high-tech equipment,Lara's bio and the whole story are some of them.I kinda think the rebbot as a relief though,'cause since the story became lame with Underworld it would propably get even lamer :D .

jajay119
02-11-10, 14:58
I don't think they are dumping anything, nor should they have to. Crystal specifically never negated anything in Core's games in fact they made a point of saying what happened still happened and made references to many of cores games thoroughout the manor in TRA. I, personally feel all of CD's games can slide into existance with Core's with very little problem. To say they should have to dump the universe is a bit of an insult to them and I think to create a 'deffinite rebooted universe' would make them seem a little lacking in vision.

I'd like to see clothing & equipment on Lara that is 100% functional for the conditions that she'd be in. She tends to have an idea of the environment that she's going to before the fact, so why wouldn't she match colours, fabrics etc. to suit?
I mean the hotpants are just that, *ladycrush*, but it gets on my nerves sometimes.

I'm no expert but for ex:
Jungle: Lightweight, breathable, fast drying material that covers a lot of her body, (leeches, mosquitos and lots of small brush that can cut & scrape) or at least her legs, with greens & browns for camouflage. She could carry a machete for jungle areas, but she wouldn't need one for say an ice level because there are no trees?

So her whole equipment set-up could change depending on the environment..? Perhaps certain items & clothing can get damaged and will need to be replaced or repaired, so that would take a level of care from the player to make sure her stuff would last her, maybe pickups could make that less irritating.

I highly highly highly doubt that.

CD are not going to reboot (gameplay wise) the tomb raider series by limiting what we can do.

I think they will stray from those darn pistols and allow us to find single guns and combine them to use as dual wielding. However I don't think the combat will be based around running away, I'm sure stealth and evading will be options though.:)

Linoshi Croft

Lee croft
11-11-10, 19:12
Well here is what i would like to see.

If Lara gets wacked by a stick she should form bruises over an amount of time that become weak points and targets for the enemy to attack making it harder for Lara and easier for them.

Maybe add a few cuts and gun shot wounds that she could bandage up to stop the bleeding that heal after a while along with the bruise's.

I also dont think she should be able to withstand all of the things she is useally able too.

One trick of making a game seem alot more longer then it is would be to stall Lara and These elements could do exactly that and becuse pain should slow her down.

Edit:

I'd like to see clothing & equipment on Lara that is 100% functional for the conditions that she'd be in. She tends to have an idea of the environment that she's going to before the fact, so why wouldn't she match colours, fabrics etc. to suit?

I agree with the whole items getting damaged and taking care of them but; if this Tomb Raider is going to be Lara stranded on an island because of a ship wreck or whatever I dont think she would be in outfits that are well suited for the enviroments; unless she gathered up materials and created them herself.

Yes but even looking at your animation we have Lara defying the laws of gravity, she cannot get leverage off thin air. Not even Altair or Ezio could do that. They could jump up and use their hands to go over the obstruction only if there was a handgrip on the overhang, or they could push of from a wall to jump over and get a grip on something. You cannot turn in air, or jump up that far up, backwards and on an angle, she would just flip over the edge and fall. If the ledge was almost within reach while just standing Lara should be able to jump on an angle and grab it, but supergirl able to fly Lara should not be.

The only thing that worries me is think about it . . Underworld people complained that the colours used were dull grey constantly , well think about it. What do most horror games rely on ? Darkness and dull colours, your not guna be scared when chased by monsters to the end of the rainbow the game wouldn't have an atmosphere. Plus the game is set on a dark Japanese island . . so yeah doesn't seem like alot of colours will be used to me

What I hope they will do is the monsters come out at night , so in the daytime the land can be beautiful and colourful and at night a terrifying run for your life :p or the tombs are colourful as it's meant to be based on Japan, considering most art and architecture in Japan is dead colourful

I would love if they did like a downloadable game just for the doppleganger

You're right ajrich17901. Underworld was "released" only for PS3, PC & Xbox. I don't know why they even made a PS2 a Wii and a DS version.

Not really unfair, Wii and PS2 aren't capable of what the PS3,PC and 360 are capable of. If anything they just released the wii and ps2 versions for a quick extra buck. And to my knowledge TR9 is PS3,360 and PC only so.

Sorry but no, they need to move on from the old-gen consoles now for good, none of those consoles would be able to handle stuff like what we heard from the leak, no open world, no dynamic weather and on and on, so if u want to experience the "full" TR9 u will need to buy a real current-gen console (xbox360 or ps3) or a capable pc.

I hardly doubt TR9 will be avaible on wii, ps2 or psp, and it is, it would be downgraded a LOT from the real game

The graphics is the least I care about, I would be just happy with a full level set, that's all I expect. If they're not gonna release a full game in the old-gen consoles then they shouldn't even bother about creating half of the game for PS2, Wii, PSO or any other old-gen console.

danny.rex
20-11-10, 07:48
Is not just the graphics, i don't think old-gen consoles can handle open world, dynamic weather and stuff like that, the game would be heavily downgraded hence why i think it shouldnt be made for old-gen consoles

Besides, doing that would be just plain milking the series, i think is time to finally create a TR unique for this gen of consoles :) TRU was already pushing it

I would like Lara to be able to use her climbing Axe and grapple on anything.

The grapple should be rope or wire with a anchor at the end, she throws it into the rock, it sticks, she can also attack it to two objects to create a line for her to shimmy across or tight-walk on the rope.

She should be able to use the climbing Axe in conjunction with the grapple in some way too. Maybe throw the rope up as a safety line before going up somewhere with just the Axe.

The closest Lara had to a love interest is Kurtis, and it quickly became platonic.

Lara and love don't really match. Hell, Lara and family didn't even go over well.

Yeah, the only love we need to see is her love for tomb raiding and adventuring, i would like to seesome tension like there was between Lara and Larson in TRA, but love? no

I always my fun about how all TR's had some ledges on walls which were caused by time and sometimes whether conditions only so that a tomb raider could come and climb them :p .

:vlol: well she wouldn't be able to climb any montains since real montains dont have conviniently placed legdes for people to climb, so climbing gear would be perfect for the open world :)

My thoughts exactly :tmb: !

I will like Lara to start the game with loose hair, and then realize the pony tail is more comfortable for tomb raiding and change it, kind of a classic moment.
I will absolutely adore that when you go into an area with a puzzle, there;s not cutscene showing you where you have to go to solve the puzzle, I hate that, let us figure it out by ourselves.
I like very much the animation when she's gonna miss a ledge, then again I hate the yellow dot indicating that you need to push grab.
A fully explorable island with plempty of caves, underwater ruins and hidden places you can discover in no expecific order is a long time dream of mine.
Really long game.
A lot of traps!
As it has been said plempty of times, even though combat is not the main pleasure in TR games it should be better executed to give that wonderful pleasure of pulling a great combo to kill your enemies.
Night/Day cicle with weather events, this gives such a real touch in a game, and specially a game like TR.
I like jumping to be more challenged, lately it feels you will never loose a ledge, I like the feeling that if I don't do a perfect timing jump I will send our lovely Lara to the deeps.
Even though TRU was not my favorite TR games I have to admit it has one level which I think all TR games should be, Coastal Thailand, the solitude, music and beauty of this level is something that I will suggest to reproduce and even get better in future TR games, when you climb that last ledge in that level and suddenly you have the temple in front of you is a marvelous moment that I think is classic to a TR game.
Rivers rapids for kanuing a la TR3, very exciting!
Anywho, with the few info leaked if is true, I have the feeling this will be the best TR ever, hope I am right.

I would like the game to be in full 1080p HD. Do you think this is possible? :) The TR games are often so beautiful, with amazing sets, so they should look as good as possible. :)

OKay, I came up with few ideas about the new TR:
1: There should be a option to shoose where do you want to go, like in TR3. I know that already a few members said this, but I put it on anyways.
2: Villages near the location you explore, where you can talk with people, buy stuff, and even do subquests, which would be rather like: ''go find this thing in the tomb where you'll go''. Aaaaand:
3: Inclusion of the TOMB RAIDER COLLECTIBLE CARD GAME! This would be awesome to include in TR series! You would collect cards by few methods:
a) Going to the manor and collecting the booster packs lying around house,
b) Remember my idea about village? Well, you could challenge some people on a match, just like in Final Fantasy VIII, where you could challenge some people on Triple Triad.
c) Doing subquests, in which one of the prises is: a booster pack.
and 4: VISIT CROATIA, GOD****IT!

I guess a map is more likely but I would like to see a Radar System.

Like that one from MGS.

Maybe Lara could find it on the iseland or maybe its somthing that still works that she has from the shipwreck.

Seeing enemies moving on a radar system.

No thanks.

I want surprise, I want to have to explore and find things as I go.

I'd rather a plane map that shows where I am and only the areas I have been.

Anywhoo, no. No radar. I don't care for it. The only thing that would be even remotely okay is the Sonar, like what they used in Underworld. No. Let's keep this as a Tomb Raider game and not a Metal Gears Solid game.

I think something to do other than exploring tombs, I mean a minigame that's relaxing, like final fantasy's X blitzball, final fantasy's VIII card game or a trivia

Include the Triad of Death

Now, in gameplay it might be annoying, but if it's made right, it would be awesome.

Yes, I'm a Grey's Anatomy junkie.

hmm i just had an idea regarding the map :p perhaps, Lara finds a map of the island, but it is only the sillouette pf the island, or maybe even just a blank peice of paper, and Lara must draw the places she goes to on her map as she finds them, making the map useful only when youve explored the majority of the island? :D just a thought may add on to it later :p

I think they should have a map that reveals itself as you explore. Like have the general location of objectives marked, but you need to find a route there. And maybe finding scraps of ancient maps could reveal secrets.

I think an optional map that shows you places you've already visited sounds good, especially if the island is as big as I hope it's going to be :D

But an on screen mini map would really take you out of the survival and lost feeling IMO.

you can just accidentally jump and then Lara may grab whatever it is just because it is automatic.... ;)

There's a difference between a game being hard and just simply annoying. Manual grab is VERY annoying. ¬_¬

No not at all... I know a friend of mine found the classics with manual grab so annoying because of such a thing I described, while I enjoyed it...

Really, a well programmed action like Manual Grab will definitely make the game harder :)

Sorry if you thought i were :o didnt mean it really

So you can... uh... shoot before she grabs the ledge? :confused:

tomblover
08-12-10, 13:10
Maybe we could have it like this:

You must tap a button so Lara grabs the ledge, after that she will hold on automatically, but as you traverse said ledge, Lara might lose her grip, which will require us to press a face button (or sth like that). :)
