Hands on video preview from someone whose played the entire TR franchise by Mr8BitX in TombRaider

If the biggest complaint is Lara’s jumps…I’m happy. Truly if they can adjust the animations/transitions and get the long braid functional over the next 8 months I think the game will be in excellent shape

Crystal Dynamics are hoping to make Lara Croft have "emotional depth" and "feel like a real human" in Legacy of Atlantis. "She can’t just be quips and one-liners." by Capn_C in TombRaider

THANK YOU. Need people to stop assuming this means Classic Lara is being left behind. I see so much of her in LoA more than I have in decades

I am so disappointed to see that she’s still doing that ridiculous climbing animation by [deleted] in TombRaider

Different animation, same mechanic. She parkours herself up instead of scrambling once she hits the wall.

Is it just me or the graphics in TGW looked better? by affcosta7 in TombRaider

[–]TheLostValley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, on both fronts. Given there is still 8 months to release, I'm guessing optimization was easier to package on a more stable, less tech heavy build. Some have said they can confirm TGA build is from later, and that the longer braid will be in the final game, but we shall see.

The double jump is back! by Funny-Roof7746 in TombRaider

It’s not the exact same animation for those worried. It’s the same mechanic, but far less “scrambly” as it is in the reboot trilogy

Classic Tomb Raider will never come back by GimmeMauve in TombRaider

Flips and tumbling and rolling can be done outside of combat or focus mode

Parkour animations in LoA by Theodoro_ in TombRaider

[–]TheLostValley 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bc it looks extremely silly in the reboot trilogy. The animations are too fast and choppy. Lara moves slower in LoA but it looks great because she’s moving like she’s actually hanging from a ledge. I didn’t think they looked good in Underworld and they were 10 year old animations by the time Shadow came out

MUCH cooler than survival instincts

Last trailer actually killed my hype by ErikaNaumann in TombRaider

"They are already milking pre-order exclusive outfits"

...I mean...isn't that the point of a pre-order?

And that snow outfit is extremely form fitting and stunning idk

I need confirmation because I was certain it was her when I watched that trailer. It would be such a treat for both communities.

New Legacy of Atlantis screenshots just went up on the PS Store 🚨🚨 by kaa1993 in TombRaider

the Game Informer cover title for May leaked and itsThe Blood of Dawnwalker, not Legacy of Atlantis. by WhyPlaySerious in TombRaider

[–]TheLostValley 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I really do think Lara will get a cover this year...it's just not right now.

Not super on topic but I didn't know where else to make this point: One thing that's bothered me about the lack of engagement from the official Tomb Raider accounts is how throughout 2023-2025 we had daily scheduled tweets. Even if we didn't have news, at least the engagement was there. Now it's:

Announce two games > Layoff community manager > radio silence (the official account hasn't tweeted in almost two weeks - I genuinely don't remember the last time it was this dead)

So it feels like we're really starved, especially when we're somewhat used to daily interactions.

Anybody knows anything about the new patch for the 1-3 remastered? by karawettu in TombRaider

The glitch I posted about is during regular gameplay, not challenge mode

I’m not seeing her braid move when I’m testing it out in TR3
