okay, let's have some fun with this thread... as terrifying as some of the ideas may actually be :(

what, in your opinion, could be some of the worst possible things they could do with TR1... as in, changing certain rooms, changing special moments, etc. ? they dont have to be serious things either :p

RAID
20-11-06, 09:31
Adding AOD features, but I guess those are at the bottom of their list

1. Turning the fight with the TRex into an interactive cutscene.

2. Making the game only 4 big levels: Peru, Greece, Egypt, Atlantis... and that each of these legend-like levels are only watered-down smushed together versions of the old epic levels that went on forever.

3. Alister and Zip having verbal panic attacks when the Trex shows up, and orgasms when lara preforms the dive from her motorbike...

4. Having sunlight everywhere... i miss the dark and grotty claustrophobic tombs.

5. Human enemies everywhere instead of animal enemies.

Having the headset

Z&A ruining the atmosphere

Modern technobopping replacing flowing classical music

Lara still has pathetically small jumps

Autograb dictates where we can go

The traps have been modified to make them smaller, and turned into interactive cutscenes

The Atlanteans have been replaced by Mercs

It blacks out when you jump off the high ledge in the Great Pyramid

Big Spinning crosshairs

40 unlockable costumes

Shiny things and button prompts everywhere

Use an unmodified legend engine (luckily not going to happen!)

Swingpoles appear everywhere

Intergrated 'Where's my mother' storyline

You jump on the hand in Midas Palace, and instead of turning to gold, it fades to black

Lara tries to swim to the depths of the lake beneath the sphinx, and drowns because they haven't increased her lung capacity since legend

Cutscenes everywhere, no FMVs (likely to happen : ( )

Satu

^ Well Rivendell you just about covered it with that lot :D

It would be truly shocking even if one of those made it to fruition.

Alister and Zip having verbal panic attacks when the Trex shows up, and orgasms when lara preforms the dive from her motorbike...

Laras Backpack
20-11-06, 10:57
What Riv said! :D

Plus:

No infinite backpack
Crappy range of weapons- most of which either have not enough amo or are basically indistinguishable from one another.
Lara vs Larson/Piere made into an interactive cutscene.
Range of animal enemies basically comprising 2 gorillas and single rat that Lara will mourn over having trodden on.
After having been made to fall into the pit of lava, Bacon Lara comes back to extract her whinny revenge- 'there was no 'we' Lara, there never was...It was just me down there :( '

The worst thing: big changes in level design. Unfortunately, this seems to be happening.

I've been looking forward to replaying the great TR1 levels with more modern graphics and controls and see the old places again looking so much better than in 1996. But since the Anniversary Edition is said to be only "sort of" a remake where only the plot remains the same, I'm not optimistic.

Blackmoor
20-11-06, 14:33
Everything that Lara's Backpack, Rivendell and GodofLight have said already.

But also:

Giving Natla a backstory that involves "personal issues" so that we get to understand why she's the meglomaniac she is...
Bringing Lara's father or mother into the storytelling.
Giving Lara and Pierre a bond or relationship beyond them being professional adversaries.
A 5 hour, run through, past the pretty (non-interactive) backgrounds, game.
Non-stop continuous music.
More of those horrid cheesy one-liners from "you-know-what"...
Taking the horror (and it should be horrific) out of the Atlantis and its "creations".

How can you people expect other people to have faith in TR, when you as TR fans have already lost hope?
How can you have high hopes for future TR games when the trend is against you and you belong to the minority of gamers who like their games big and not more linear than the plot demands, and their plots complex to begin with?

Retaining the grib based design and the old control system.

Having rooms that have been sealed for ages with live animals inside.

Using illogical relationships between goal and solution to increase difficulty.

Repeating puzzles like find three cogs, or find three lead bars or find three circuit breakers.

Keeping a story line that is dumbed down to the point that I would be ashamed to read it to a group of first graders.

Using one dimensional characters that are so stereotypic that you wonder if the writers were actually ever paid for their work (Dumb Cowboy, Sleazy Frenchman with a nude on his jacket, Skateboarding punk kid, Type A personality business woman, Boris Karloff type mummies, and the list goes on).
Vmans cute cuddly fuzzy animals would at least be different.

Areas were you should obviously be able to climb but you can't. Bushes you can't walk through because that is off the path.

1: Make it as easy as Legend.
2: Make it as short a Legend.
3: A Hollywood style actress with an ugly, monkey type face and a disturbing voice as Lara.
4: Replace awesome parts of the original game with sad, boring interactive cut-scene.
5: No Natla.
6: Change th plot/ storyline.
7: Ruin a good game.

20-11-06, 16:47
Cutting the game down so bad you could hardly recognize the locations.

Replacing the putting artefacts/pulling lever/pushing blocks to silly roll boulders and stroll in the empty hall levels.

Silly retelling of story which consists of loads of crappy add-ins and the origins of Legend Lara.

Zip and Alister bedtime story telling through-out the game.

Oxygen gauge is very limited. The moment she dived then she's drowned. :rolleyes:

Grapple(but I guess this one is in sadly:()

Ponytail(we want braid for TRA)

Lara with that monkey face(Legend Lara). We want the face from the first two trailers.

Silly rabbit hops that could barely make you jump over a small chasm.

Winston, I want him hunch a lot like the classics so I can fill him with pain and misery more.

Legend Lara and Anaya made love at the end.

Amanda is Natla's daughter.

T-rex moment turn into interactive cut-scene. Enough of those useless things CD.

Lara became riddiculously 'passionate'. "I'm falling in love with the Atlanteans. Oh I love you too Natla", spreading flowers and daisy all over the tombs.
"I'm a terribly lucky girl. I get free weapons and ammos over dead people's grave":rolleyes:

CD implementing what gamers 'wants': As Mr. Ian said : "short sharp thrill rides" :mad:

No challenges at all. Barely any traps that can be called traps at all. No genius thinking whatsoever. dumb down to a very low level.

The pieces of Scion replaced with other artefact.

Pierre and Larson getting hollywood scripts.

No Lara horny/orgasms sounds while she's climbing tombs/ladders.

Black-outs. How riddiculous can they be?

St. Francis Folly turned out to be St. Francis Theme Park(like Legend's King Arthur tomb. what a yawn fest, like a tour)

No bears,wolves,animals.more mercs. Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of them.

Silly Lara and her 'emotional' comments. "What a pity, I shoot a wolf. God take me to my mommy now. Boo-hoo". :rolleyes:

Lara turning into James Bond girl.

Her ***** turns into triangle(although that's a fun touch)

I agree this this. They should keep it close to the orginal as much as possible and that includes the speical moments. And another thing, I think them changing the audio in the remake will be bad, a very bad thing, because the audio is what helps the Tomb Raider games.

Natla already has that to some degree, she was never a "megalomaniac", she just thought unleashing the mutants from Atlantis would cause evolution in some way with the massive changes it would bring about. It's never stated that she wanted to take over the world or anything (although inciting global chaos is kind of like that I guess).

Actually I'd be more scared of them suddenly turning her into some depthless psycho who wanted to take over/destroy the world with her mutant army.

They're not "deficiencies". It's a game and stuff like being alone against several bloodthirsty animals added to the game. From a gameplay standpoint I don't really recall anything in TR1 that didn't lead on from something else (which is completely logical in the context of the game), illogical puzzles was more something that happened in the later games.

Can't really argue about the plot though :) .

I agree. If I did not throw a little spark into the dialog we would never get any fire started. Mummies are scary. The lions, and bears, and apes, and wolves must have gotten really hungary after being sealed up that long and I felt sorry for them. It was probably a mercy to put them out of their misery.

when replaying a level
Lara will have only pistols and maybe grenades, meaning any weapons/ammo collected before will vanish.
If there is an FMV/cutscene between two level, it won't play and the game takes you to the main menu
Once you replay and finish a level, you'll be taken to the main menu. Example: finished Lost Valley, instead of going to automatically to tomb of Quolopec, you'll be taken to the main menu.
Once you find secret locations, when you replay the level, secrets won't be there.
Any objects collected, won't be there when replaying
Saving when replaying would only save secrets and rewards, but when you reload, you'll have to restart the level from the beginningAlso insert those Jump ro grab ledge above moves from Legend.

one thing i fear about the two levels that take place in the Atlantis pyramid itself, is that they will get rid of the pulsating hallways. I fear that they will think this is too violent and creepy, and instead, just have neon glowing, or rocky, hallways, and no skin. Not only that, but instead of the heartbeats, there is techno music playing, and the whole time, Natla's voice taunts you, saying "You can't win Lara! I will defeat you! Hahahaha! THAT is what i fear the most. If those levels change that much, then the fear factor of those levels is gone, and they won't be the same....so if you are reading this Crystal Dynamics, DON'T "DE-SKIN" THOSE LEVELS. Instead, make them even creepier, make the pulsating heart and background noises more doom 3 horror like, and make the skin walls even more horrifying. If those levels turn out like that, then all the tombraider fans will be satisfied

Luckily for a Huge amount of people, though apparently not for you and others, Zip and Alister appear not to be in this game. There is no headset, and Crystal have said they're focusing on the isolation and atmosphere of TR1.

Making the game a 2D sidescroller
Making the game an Oblivion or GTA rip-off
Big, green arrows over Lara's head pointing to the next pickup, key, lever and enemy
Controls like Microsoft Train Simulator (the most unresponsive controls ever: I press accelerate, and the train takes ages to get to speed)
Making the game like Legend. Not because I don't like Legend, but because I couldn't stand all the whining in this forum and had to leave.

A price over 50€ for the german PC version

:vlol: That was hilarious!!!

The worst they could do:

No gruesome deathscenes/screams
Tiny corridoors to "explore"
Very little sidetracking (if any)
Having Lara's personality from Legend :hea:
Aiming it towards a younger audience :cen: :hea:
Battling the T-rex with Legend gunplay D:
Sucky VA's
Integrating TRA with the crap-tacular Avalon story :cen:
Not using the classic history of Lara Croft!!! O_____O

Welcome Verity :wve:

Luckily for a Huge amount of people, though apparently not for you and others, Zip and Alister appear not to be in this game. There is no headset, and Crystal have said they're focusing on the isolation and atmosphere of TR1.

'Scuse my insensitivity on the matter, but Thank God! I'm so Happy about the fact! :D
Me too. I just hope they stay that way in TR8.

previous post deleted due to complete brain fart.

EDIT AGAIN: Worse thing they could do? well, find another use for those poles they're so fond of that's not kid friendly.

I think he means for future installments. Meaning that they should only put her in TR1 and not 8.

Personally I'd like it if Crystal links Legend as TR1's prequel. It would make sense, since in TR1's game manual mentions the plane crash and Himalayas, etc...

Adding AOD features, but I guess those are at the bottom of their list

Well, they did a few things from Angel of Darkness to legend already :rolleyes:
Like this for example:
