In your list of fav TRs where do you think TRAE will rank? I think it will go third in my list.

Current list

TR4 last revelation
TR2 dagger of xian
TR1
TR 6 angel of darkness
TR 5 chronicles
TR3 adventures of lara croft
TR 7 legend

Prediction after TRAE

TR4 last revelation
TR2 dagger of xian
TRAE
TR1
TR6 angel of darkness
TR5 chronicles
TR3 adventures of lara croft
TR7 legend

I think the remake will be even better than the original and therefore better than TR5, 6 and 7 also. I dont think it will be as good as TR2 or 4 but it could go close to being as good as TR2.

Nah, it's made by CD, so will probably have that Legend feeling.
I reckon it will be just after Chronicles on my list, and chronicles is currently 5th.

What's wrong with Legend feeling?

Doesn't feel like Tomb Raider to me. :wve:

As it is a remake of one of my favourite TRs, with a Legend feeling to it as well, i am gona love it!

Rivendell
02-11-06, 18:07
4ever - He means it'll feel like legend as opposed to feeling like Tomb Raider.

:wve:

Edit- Doh! Late again... :tea:

Can't tell where it will fall into my favorites or worst list till I get to play it... ;)

The way I see it CD cant go wrong. Its a remake. They already have everything they need. At the very least it should be about as good as TR1. If they do a good job it will be better and thats what I'm predicting.

02-11-06, 18:18
My list (now):
1.Tomb Raider:Legend
2.Tomb Raider 2:The Dagger OF Xian
3.Tomb Raider 3:Adventures of Lara Croft (and The Lost Artifact)
4.Tomb Raider 4:The Last Revelation
5.Tomb Raider 6:The Angel Of Darkness
6.Tomb Raider 1*
7.Tomb Raider 5:Cronicles
*Can't fancy TR1 just becouse it was first like others, it was my favourite before 2000.,and now I see no point in playing that game again. The newer the better!

My list for 2007 (hoping it will be):
1.TR:AE
2.TR:Legend
3.TR:2
4.TR:1**
5.TR:3
6.TR:4
7.TR:5
8.TR:6:AOD
**Hoping that remake will refresh my memory about TR1, and hoping to play it again!

I hope and pray you are right! I do love playing TR, but I don't want it to turn into a wussy game because legend wussed out. PLEASE CD, don't make all your future TR's that weak. ;) I hope the game is all there and not some shortened abreviated version with only 5 levels. Or that they take out all the hard parts and replace them with interactive cutscenes, or the grapple ruins any death defying jumps.

I think it is exactly opposite. With a remake, everyone excepts something to change (otherwise, there would be no need for a remake), while expecting his/her favourite parts to remain completely untouched. You can already see this here. But while it seems right now that everyone wants the same things, after TRAE we will see how different the sides actually are. There will be fierce battles between those who can't understand how any sane man could remove "X" against the others who always hated "X" and are angry that the opportunity to remove "Y" as well wasn't used.

Back to topic: Since I have no current favourite list, I have no idea where TRAE will rank. I expect it to be on a similar level as Chronicles, Legend and AoD for me, which means nice to play, not my favourite, but not the ones I like worst either.

I expect alot to change. I'd hate it if it was the same game with just updated graphics. I've not played the remake of RE1 as I dont have a gamecube but I heard that 70% of the game was new content. I wouldn't mind if TRAE was like this. Parts must be recognisable but overall I want it to be a new game. It still has to be better or at least as good as TR1 because they have the game and all they can do is improve certain parts and add more bits to the game.

Hmm I don't think it will beat the original, because nothing can ever beat a classic game like that, but I think it is going to be a brilliant game, despite who it's made by.

Better than Legend, AOD and Chronicles, but probably worse than TR1-4. IMO the classics are almost unreachable for any other action-adventure.

Nothing beats the original.

AOD
Legend

There is NO possible way that a remake can possibly outdo the original game, or IMO TR1-4 (those who believe that they do should be executed as nonbelievers ;) ), so my list is rather skewered.

My Possible Prediction:
TR3
TR2
TR1
TR4
TR: Anniversary
Legend
AOD
TR5

GameSpot/IGN's Prediction:
TR1
TR4
TR3
TR5
Legend
TR2
AOD
TR: Anniversary

It won't pass the laugh test. It'll hit the 60s and 70s in terms of scores. :P

If they get everything right from the original, (Which the orginal is practically perfect), and add more better and harder things that makes it feel up to date and Tomb Raider like, new areas, levels. Then I think it will be heads above all other TR games including the original.

This is my list if it turns to be the greatest:

TRA
TR1
Tomb Raider Legend
TR 2
TR4
TR3
TR Chronicles

03-11-06, 10:58
TR1
TR3
TR4
AoD
TR2
[optimistic Anniversary]
*big gap*
[pessimistic Anniversary]
Legend

Will they cross the gap between Tomb Raider Adventures games and Lara Croft action games?

MadVoodoo
03-11-06, 12:39
My current top is:

TR1
TR2
TR LEGEND
TR4

From here on I don't consider it to be a top, rather a falling low.

TR3
TR5
TR AOD

I hope TR AE will do better than Legend, although I don't think it will be better than 1 and 2, which were excelent. Right now it is impossible to predict anything without playing it and there's still little info.

If they do it just like TR1 my personal list would be like this:

1. Adventures of Lara Croft/The Last Revelation
2. Starring Lara Croft (TR1)
3. The Angel of Darkness/Anniversary Edition
4. Starring Lara Croft (TR2)/Chronicles
5. Legend

If it gets just like Legend... :


1. Adventures of Lara Croft/The Last Revelation
2. Starring Lara Croft (TR1)
3. The Angel of Darkness
4. Starring Lara Croft (TR2)/Chronicles
5. Legend/Anniversary Edition

If it's really, really good, TRA might make it to the 2nd place of my list. But nothing will ever take the original Tomb Raider off the top :)

I won't know until I've played it. I know so little about what it's going to be that it could potentially be anywhere on my list.

Forgive me. My memories of TR2 are vague, and I've NEVER played TR1 - :yik:

My current list...

TR4
TRAOD
TRC
TRL
TR3
TR2

After TRA - should it meet its potential that is......

TRA
TR4
TRAOD
TRC
TRL
TR3
TR2

Even with the improved graphics it cannot beat the original version of blocky Lara.

Hi Legend4ever, I`m just curious about your choices, they`re kind of an interesting combination. What was it that made you rank Legend so highly? Just interested, that`s alll. Thanks. Paulwork

08-11-06, 20:33
I think we`d all like to rate TRAE highly - it is an anniversary edition after all.

Anyway, I reckon I would probably end up rating TRAE as below (and this is me trying to be optimistic hoping less platforms/consoles for TRAE = more time to develop/program/bug fix/invent puzzles etc...):

TR4
TR1
TR3
TRAE
TR2
TR5
TRAOD & TRL

How can you tell if you haven't played it? I really can't create a list. IMO, we should put the classic games in one category and AOD, Legend Anniversary and whatever follows in another one.

Indeed so. The classics are incomparable just as how the innovations (AOD, Legend, and Anniversary) are to the former.
