Chronicles Appreciation

[UroshUchiha]

I enjoyed my time with TRC. It's not my favorite game of the classics but I always get super happy when I replay it. More than I thought I would.

Added:
• The VCI catsuit backpack.
• The snow hat from the Russian levels.
• Timex.
• First direct sequel to a TR game.
• The energy bars {Health, Sprint, Breath} on PC.

That horrible, vertically crushed floating backpack was awful. It must be a geometric error they never fixed.

Considering the....few inaccuracies between cutscene/FMVs of VCI, I wonder if maybe it was supposed to be a smaller backpack fitting the stealth theme, but they just sorta quickly edited the original backpack model.

I definitely do see the idea that the story with certain characters from TR1 - TR6 is a plothole because how could Core Design would just have the idea to put Larson & Pierre right back into TR5? I can't even believe that Pierre just got right back into AOD as well. So those type of series from Core Design is definitely a plothole from their perspective. That's why I never recommend for TR5 to go for a remake at all. Nor will AOD either because it wasn't finished properly obviously.

TRI-V Pierre isn’t AoD Pierre. One is a goon hired by Natla to eliminate Lara, and the other is simply a cafe owner in Paris.

Are you doing this on purpose?

@Seth & @Samz I honestly loved the VCI backpack. I don’t think it was an error, tbh. onder

That looked SO bad. I dont know what they were thinking. Its supposed to be a catsuit to make her blend into shadows, so they give her a weird bright bag. Might as well have just removed the bag entirely.

Forgot to mention a positive about Chronicles;

The Mistress of Darkness - Jonell Elliott

It must be. She's wearing the normal backpack in the FMV.

My guess is they changed its look to explain it not having straps. Lara's backpack straps are textured onto her body, but with the way the catsuit is textured (single texture with reflection map shine applied, this is why she doesnt have belts and holsters like the FMV as well) they couldn't do that and making them 3D would be too resource heavy.
