suggested improvements for Next gen

[raider of tombs]

I was wondering what new stuff people would like to see in the next Tomb raider game. What new moves, weapons, baddies, locations, effects? Is there anything you think should be scrapped? What do you find annoying in the old game? Are there any touches in oother games you think would be good in TR?

I'm thinking of starting a web site and this ios gonna be a major part of it.

Isn't this a topic about Next Gen?

They could make a better tight rope walk.
The baddie (sounds too silly a name for a next generation consol) could kill her easily.
Making hip action separate from the torso, and making her arms like weights, is fun for a test run, but it needs to be improved.
I'm sure she could find better ways to get across.
What about an upside-down worm crawl on a balance beam, grabbing the tightrope (above going diagonally across), and pushing off with a grappling hook attached to her belt (no bungy winch on hook until later level).

The adult Lara shouldn't sound like a child when she falls.

She should be in 3 dimensions at all times.

What do you mean?

Lara is automaticly placed on the tightrope when the new PC override engine is on.
The user must determine the way she balances on the wire.

Lara was previously made with legs and torso with one engine.
Seperating them with 2 engines, creates interactivity by the user.

Her lower back is used as a balance indicator for the user.
Her arms are used in a weight/counter weight fashion.
When her feet go too fast accross the wire, that is the cause.
When her legs get in front of her torso, that is the catalyst.

This also alows beter effect when shimmying around corners.

It would be nice if they gave Lara some physical combat skills (ingame). There have been moments in Tomb Raider (High Security Compound (TRIII), the Ireland levels and the VCI levels (TRV)) when I wished Lara could fight the enemies in realtime. And before you say anything, the crowbar and chloroform don't count. They were cutscenes, not realtime combat.

It would be interesting to see Lara hang upside down from the tightrope(or something else) and cross chasms/pits/whatever that way.

I would like to see water vehicles (speedboat/zodiac/Underwater Propulsion Vehicle) and the Harpoon Launcher reinstated.

Also, I'd like to see a waterski. http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
