View Full Version : laras movement control in TRAE
i think the movement of lara in TR1 TR2 was much exciting rather than TR6 & above , also the camera shows in the game , may be sometimes when you want to add mcuh of reality to the game make it worse ...do any agree this
The camera angle was best done in the first 5 games. Legend has the best gameplay and movement. AOD is horrific in all categories.
In TR:A I want Grid-Free system (legend's) and TR1-5 camera angles.
If they can give me the range of movements and precision controllability of Lara that I had in TR 1-5 with Legend's controls... then yes, Legend's controls are fine...
Otherwise they need to do some work.
The beauty of the earlier games was having those abilities, they gave the exploring of the environments a greater intensity and immersion.
It won't be the same running through those levels Legend-style.
*bunny hop* *grapple* *bunny hop, bunny hop, bunny hop* *grapple*.... :rolleyes:
I am not *bunny hop* looking forward to controlling lara with the legend controls in the AE... :( :hea:

Yes, Cinematic camera angles from the original game is a must but you have to keep legends controls, except make lara move more naturaly and not like a super model on the cat walk!
Enhanced Legend controls (several classic moves were ditched, I hope those return - I want to do sideflips and backflips with or without guns drawn. Also I'd like an option to turn off auto and safety grabs, I hate it when Lara does something I didn't tell her to do) with an option to lock the camera behind Lara's back. It's very annoying when the camera angle changes all of a sudden and causes Lara to go in a direction you don't want her to go.

The camera wasn't that bad in Legend. What was a bit frustrating on PS2 is that L2 is restore camera while R3 is "1st person" mode.
The buttons should be switched, and 1st person mode needs to be changes if it's gonna make a come back.
By first person I think it should be seeing what Lara is seeing, only the gun and what's infornt it to be exact, not the back of Lara's head.
I want a Walk and Look button too on PS2.
Anyway, as for movement, keep it grid-free and it'll be fine.

Now you're talking, mona! Exactly what I'd like to see changed about the legend controls. Raid, most of the time in legend the canera was fine, but it totally sucked in the final battle in bolivia redux. People said switch to battle mode but I played the whole game with the controls set up one way, didn't like the idea of having to change them for one fight. I ended up having to steer lara with one thumb, the camera with the other thumb, while holding down the target lock with one finger and the firing with the other finger. Quite awkward.
Actually, I'd prefer having a grid and old controls over Legend's.
