Ok now that they are remaking Tomb Raider 1. What will they do?

For example:

Will the storyline be remade acording to the new direction Tomb Raider or be the same?

Will the New or Old lara be in the game?

Will the original voice be in the game or the new voice?

Sorry If Ive missed these details, but I havent seen them:P

Peace out

The story will no doubt be near identical to the originals...maybe a few new plot twists though... Hopefully they WONT include ZIP nattering in your ear...but that has yet to be confirmed....

The lara will no doubt be the legend lara...maybe a little modified. Will she have her grenades? Or her bullet time moves etc? No one knows as of yet.... but personally i'd prefer the classic weapon choice with legends acrobats...

And as for the voice acting.... The orignal actress will be 10 years older now, so may not sound the same. SO it seems more likely they'd use Keely Hawes (Legend) for continuitys sake... :D:D:D:D

Only official updates will put soldiarity into these statements though...

Weren't there a couple different Lara's in the trailer? I wonder which one Crystal will use...

imagine bullet time with uzis or magnums, aweeeesomme! thats what legend lacks automatic hand guns sweet! I wonder do you think she'll make the same faces as in the original when she shoots with the teeth griting. I didn't see anything like that in legend?

Hopefully Keeley will still be providing the voice. There is nothing worse in a video game (or movie for that matter) when the actor keeps getting switched for the one character.

It'd be an honour is she does:) I've always thought they could just reuse the voice tracks but I guess not...perhaps in some scenes, they can add more camera angle movement.

I liked Keeley Hawes' voice in Legend, so wouldn't mind at all if she was used in the Anniversary Edition. But I really don't want Zip in your ear, and if they do put it in because they are monstrous fools, I hope there's an option to turn him off.

And of course...

I hope they give her a braid :) It was fine in the legend classic model - I wouldn't be unhappy if they used that model, which hopefully they will :tmb:

Yes l can just see Lara doing one of those Bullet timed moves on a T-Rex....what would she use it on Larson, Pierre, Natla? Its not like you are going to have 30 odd mercs in the remake.
And l am pretty sure your opponent has to be human to use it

Gahhh I've just thought of where they could put in another interactive cutscene...

The Natla/Lara bit near the end, high ledge, knocked off, hit X NOW, make Lara grab the edge!

They'll probably change the line "I only play for sport" to something like "I'm only doing it for my mother" :rolleyes:

I KNOOW if Crystal Dynamics is crazy enough to wreck the traditions of Tomb Raider, it may ease me to not even buy it!!..(actuallu I still will - I'd be crazy no to buy it :rollyeye: ) but STILL.

They better not change the script or the story in anyway at all! and it would be the most cheezist game line ever if she said that instead of "I only play for sport" "Then you must like big parks,PERU, vast mountain ranges, sheer walls of Ice, rocky crags, savage winds and a little trinkit, an age old artifact of mystical powers found in the unfound tomb of Qualepec, are you up for? You can leave tomorrow, are you busy tomorrow?" Lara Grins!

All of that what Natla said it would be cool if you could play that part and the part where you try to save Carlos your guide?

O flip...when she mentions Peru, it sounds Crystal feels that they should tie in with Legends - NAW forgeddit-_-. It'd be a killer if they continue FROM Legends...I think they're smart anough to leave it as it is or it wouldn't be a 10th Anniversary Edition no more.

I would not mind if they added bits and pieces here and there to link the classic game to Legend. As long as they only added and did not take away I would be fine with it. I would not mind seeing things like extra cutscenes or dialogue (perhaps as mid level cutscenes - not over the headset).

If CD do this well (and don't destroy it) they can build on the classic storyline, not only making the old story canon in the timeline but also adding extra possible storylinks for future games.

Just a random thought (don't attack me for this one) but maybe there could be some connection to the Atlanteans or Natla and the Unknown Entity in Legend which would explain the Natla boxes in Legend. As long as it made ssense and did not feel like it had been forced into the storyline. Just a though of what they could do if they wanted to build on the original game.

But weren't those boxes just what you guys called it an "Easter Egg":confused:

And about adding...well I think they should leave EVERYthing in the story as it is except for the ending 'cause I felt it was too short and sudden...

Yeah it probably was just an easter egg. If you look at games like the Resident Evil remake. New areas and characters (ie Lisa 'the freak' Trevor) were added. Which actually linked to later games (or atleast files found in later games). They could do something similar in the remake of TR (NOT NEW CHARACTERS THO) just to add something different to the experience.

I think that if it is done well it would allow further connections with Legend or future games (TR8, 9 etc) connecting each game in some way (like a story arch) so they are not just standalone adventures if you get what I mean.

Edit - Just an extra question. The orignal remake planned by core was TR1 and 2 remake, right? From what I get from the statement about the new CD version is it is just TR1, is this correct?

hm...I think you're right 'cause they hardly mentioned Tomb Raider II in there...although what I have here (garsh I posted this WAY too many times:p ) yet I do not know if this is true. It was just posted by some guy/girl and it seems official yet deceiving yet official...:
