Bring back the cool gymnastics!

I want Lara's flips to be fast with fluid! Plus a front flip and different techniques with the flips! http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/cutie.gif

Good Idea!
I think there should be many Parkour movements like vaults (to get over the fences), rolls (to make higher drops), wall-runs (to grab a higher ledge or just to get higher) etc...

Personally, I don't care about any move but the Jump&Roll at the same time. I can't believe Core removed it.

[Yuna]

YEAH, I thought that was the coolest move in the tr series.

All long as Lara isn't sluggish anymore, I'll be happy. :D

I did like the new additions to the monkey swing and wall climbing though. http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Maybe they will slow her down to a Kurtis pace and have us headbut our computer screens saying
"S***t this is not funny, you usless heap of *******" :D
Seriously they do need to speed her up a little and make her roll and jump again. Shooting on target would be nice too ;)

1. They need to make Lara fluid and controllable again - what made TR so special in the first place.

2. They need to bring back ALL the previous moves.

3. They should bring back the predictable moves Lara could make from edges (ex: one leap back then run, jump and grab).

Handstands are fun. http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/jumper.gif

As long as they change the controls back to being controllable I'm ok with it. I don't really like the stealth mode either, I hardly ever get to use it :rolleyes:

Techniques...how about side flips similar to what we saw in the first movie?

Putting these things into the new games would take considerable programming, but they would probably only be done via a cut scene type thing...like if you are firing at an enemy and you run atop a car, a cutscene would play and we'd see lara do something special, but be able to resume the game right afterwards. Super complicated but it would be very awesome...similar almost to things done in the matrix.

I think it yould be pretty cool when you're running towards the enemy and suddenly perform a front-handspring to take the enemy down...(although I think it should only work on the weaker and Lara sized enemies (not with small ones like rats or big ones like T-Rex http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif ))

Like, for instance, jumping in the air towards the enemy and kicking him before landing again - sth like a variation of the spinkick.

Yeah I miss the jump&flip, very important technique to me... at least she can still hand-stand and dive, luv the useless but pretty moves http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/jumper.gif

[bubbleblaster]

i hate the noise lara makes in AOD wen u make her jump and she just sounds annoyed and angry wen she lands, its quite disturbing. :eek:

I also think that the old moves should be brought back, but not the old "one-shot" moves, such as the swinging on the horizontal poles (TRV). Swinging around like a gymnast scared the fire out of me, especially because she was swinging throughout a giant elevator shaft! XD

[All of you Prince of Persia fans can see me now--taking deep breaths before I go swinging across bars, and panicking as I run across the walls over buzzsaws... :D ]

[gonga]

Is it possible to have great moves (a fun game engine) and modern graphics in a game? I think they should put gameplay and moves first and graphics should only be as good as technology allows...

[TombRaiderfreaky]

It would be cool if in the next game she could do backflips like in the first fight scene in the TR1 Movie. That would be sweet! :D

[Blaige]

I think that they should bring back her classic smile while shooting. Ya know, bearing some teeth! :D
