View Full Version : Death in the remake.
I hope that the deaths in the remake are like the classics'. In Legend when Lara fell (like in Japan or Ghana) the screen just went black and the game reloads. In the remake and future Tomb Raiders, I want to see Lara hitting the ground before the game reloads. Just like old times.

I agree! It kinda makes it more of a deal when Lara dies, because her body is just laying there, making her death sink in...lol :D
It's one of my biggest worries. I couldn't Stand the blackouts, if we do get to throw Lara off the ledge in Great Pyramid and it fades to black then I might cry !
oo....I never thought of this one and dunno what to say either...
I didn't like it fading before she died like in Legend. They should bring back the old Lara who stayed lying dead until you press something

:Dlol I agree! That long drop from the ledge was one of the most unique gaming experiences in my life!! I did it over and over (normal fall, dive fall, dive fall with pistols shooting fall, backwards fall,).
What they did in Legend was very boring, but I understand them; it would be quite hard, I think, to create the bottom ground level in Bolivia. And it would take Lara's body ages to finally crash in the ground because of the height =P
So I really hope that in the Remake we can see Lara's squashed but elegant body lying on the floorhttp://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/icons/icon7.gif.
Check out one of my funnies AoD deaths- I've not seen her bounce like this before!!

I prefer to watch the whole drop, and I don't care if it takes ages to reach the bottom...
BUT
...only if you can end it any time by a keystroke!! It's fun to watch the fall, but if I have to watch it for the 42th time even if I don't want to, that's not fun anymore for me. :mad: AOD is a good example for this, once she starts to fall you have to watch it till the end. :(
(Or you could just press escape and reload game? ) ;)
They HAVE to leave the death scenes in. It would NOT be classic TR without them!!! I'm with ya BigR! As soon as I reach palace midas, right to the hand!!!! :vlol:

I always liked jumping of the platform in the Great Pyramid level....Lara falling forever until she hits the lava and catches on fire....I am REALLY interested in seeing how CD will make that work.....

i wanna see the deaths again. its quite funny to see lara fall a huge distance, then hit the floor with a snap, or a squelch, like when you fall onto the lava on the last level.

Well see, with today's technology..if she falls into that lava..its gonna look pretty gruesome if they dont black it out.
Not saying I wouldn't mind that >=).
Hope they will find a good way.
I was kind of shocked, when the screen faded black... just thought WTF?
Let's hope ^^

Don't care, its really just presentation and if so then not too gruesome! I always squinted when she fell on to spikes! Yeah, I am a wimp like that. Although I would like to see some reality, like the Giant Atlantian playing with her and the t-rex chomping down!
Not only do the traps scares me but..aiya I'm already replaying the game myself and I just got ganged up (which pretty much scared the wits out of me) by wolves in City of Vilcamba (if that's how you spell it), just when I thought there were no more wolves:eek: This game rocks:D
They should keep the reload feature, but just hold it off a little bit. Just wait until Lara is already dead, then after a few seconds of seeing her corpse fade black and reload from the last checkpoint.
I felt cheated that we didn't see many of Lara's grusome deaths. :(
LOL:D I wouldn't mind either way though...

They should keep the deaths!No blackouts,there are sadists out there waiting to be pleased!:mis:
And there should be an option to reload if you don't want to see it.

:cln: :eek: :D :jmp: Great video Chris!Just look at her bouncing!
I loved her deaths in the first one. They were so varied. She could be sliced, shot at, drowned, chomped, thrown from an unbelievable height, dive to her death, turned to gold, skewered, squashed, and flung around like a rag doll. Bring them back Crystal D!
I want old deaths back too :D

Ditto!
If Lara doesn't turn to gold I am storming Eidos HQ! :mis:
It's the noises that get me, the "ugh" when she hits the spikes make me wince, and Lara's bones breaking when she falls... marvellous stuff. We were robbed in Legend.
I'm also looking forward to the hand. And being munched by the T rex, with appropriate juicy crunching noises... :mis:
A true TR fan is a sadist! We enjoy those sounds of pain, those sounds of death, those sounds of terror! Muahahahaha!!! http://www.storagebin.us/smilies/smilies/evil1.gif
Yeah, mee too. But that's not what I think about. :p

Yeah, I agree. I liked how in Angel Of Darkness it showed her actually hitting the ground. In the remake though they should have blood when she falls though, make it look more realistic.

I definitely want actual death scenes and not fading to black. If the death scenes are a little cartoony so as to avoid being too gruesome, then that's alright with me (as long as it's not silly).
well I am wondering. In the old TRs the graphics were pretty limited and the death scenes were pretty cartoonish. With the improved graphics will the death scenes become too realistic? I do not want TR to become a blood and gore show like some of the more recent games.
Meh, even GTA deaths were just a body laying there and a puddle of blood, it even disappears after several seconds... :cln:
Well, let's be realistic here. If Lara (or anyone for that matter) were to fall from the top of St. Francis's Folly, you would be reduced to a pile of mush upon impact. Lara’s deaths have never been overtly gruesome. I should think AE could scrape a T rating without showing an obscene amount of gore.
