What if Crystal Dynamics only had time to put in one extra thing in TRA, what would it be? It can't be the all of the things from the original, or just new graphics, it has to be something that we haven't seen yet, or that was in TRII through Legend, that wasn't in the original.

For me it would either be ropes or crawling, but i would have to go with crawling. The original is very Clautophibic, closed areas, tight squeezes and so for, adding crawling would allow this effect to be even more. For example TR III Temple ruins where you crawl inside the areas with the giant Shivas coming after you, its dark, scary and closed inside an ancient temple. You add this in TR 1. there could be tons of new areas where you have to crawl, and find things.

Imagine finding a hole just big enough, in the wall of Hieroglyphics in EGypt you crawl through to find a pit full of deadly snakes and at the end, an artifact of high value. So this in its self could bring a new dynamic to an already great game.

I believe it is a given that we will have a Lara with all of the abilities of the Legend version. However, the Legend Lara didn't crawl, come to think of it.

I like you ideas. I would also add really dark areas, remove those useless annoying Flares and keep Legend's PLS.

Other stuff I want are Look and Walk buttons.

Both legend and TR1 lara didn't crawl or sprint. I think they'll add all legends and TR1 moves as well as adding these. They better include the bigger jumps that were in the original and not the pathetic tiny jumps there were in legend. It will probably have all of legends moves minus the grapple. I agree that the look and walk buttons must be in there. One more thing. I hope the camera is not like legend. I want it to be like it was from TR1-6. If the screenshot is one ingame then it tends to suggest it will be like that and not like legend camera.

Legend's jump are not so puny. She can reach pretty far ledges.

The old ones seems so large cause of the stupid grid system and block structure.

Yes they were puny. Well I suppose they were more realistic in legend. Classics jumps were farther than any normal human could jump. However when has tomb raider ever been realistic? I dont think realism is a good thing. Sure graphically it can look as realistic as it likes but regarding jumps you're supposed to be able to do things a normal person wouldn't be able to. Its a game, an escape from reality. I dont think it would be so difficult to make jumps bigger without the grid system.

more cutscenes (not interactive) and fmvs,.. new movements,.. and more light games,... besides the great graphic,.. and also more evolution in lara,.. something like starting with a braid, and finishing with a pony tail,.. some clothes changins too,.. aswell as some hook hanging and some rope/vines, and crwling things,. ok,.. i guess i said those when i mention new moves right?... great animal movement too,... and new levels between the original ones,..

Agree with that.
Besides, long jumps proved to be irritating after the release of "AoD" - it was very hard to jump directly on a small platform.

In Legend we could crouch not crawl, I liked that in AOD we could crouch and do the army crawl too. If they were to bring something back from the classics I'd say for Lara to be able to hold her guns instead of being forced to shoot to keep them out. Also I want her big jumps back, and backflips and sideflips and front flips.

I would like to see the Crawl in TR:A, I think it would be a really good addition to the game. Sprint would be great aswell, especially if she could do that huge sprint and jump she did in AoD!

I wouldn't like to see the crouch from Legend, I would rather see the old crawl and the belly/commando crawl from AoD.

Crouch, crawl, monkey swing would be nice to see back, but the one move I want back, as much a trademark of lara's as her dual guns and braid, is the roll/flip. It was so fast to turn around with this move. It also got incorporated into her jumps later on so she could jump one way and turn around in mid air to grab a different ledge!

Oh yea! The jump/roll was an awesome move, I hope they bring that back!

And I agree with the crawling. That's a brill idea. :tmb:

thus making the breath of Hades extremely hard indeed

One thing to do for right before release? Color the game. I am very serious. Make each color exactly what Lara is feeling and how the environment is reacting and how the story is progressing. This conveys sadness, isolation, defiance, awe, and tomb raiding.

Her old range of movements.

Roll, walk, crawl, monkeyswing, climb* and swim controls back.

And the environments worthy of having them too... ;)



[*They can still keep Legend's climb movements, just pace it out with classic and AoD style of climbing too... it'd allow greater diversity for climbing and getting around all sorts of rocks and obstacles.]

I hadn't realised the monkey swing wasn't in Legend! I used to love doing that lol. I think that crawling, monkey swing and roll/flip would be welcome returns. :)
