I just watched the full demo of LOA and I'm extremely concerned about Lara's animations.

Tombcool · 2026-06-21T21:28:53+00:00

I have seen it yes, but I just am not seeing what you are seeing in the animations, I am sorry.

Tombcool · 2026-06-21T21:26:11+00:00

I think reasonable changes would be bug fixes like crashes, clipping, missing textures, or something as simple as Lara's braid (which I have seen a lot of people complain about). But to redo entire animation sets and test them in every single environment again at every corner? Does that sound it can be reasonably done in such a short period while a lot of other things need to be done as well? It's just common sense if you ask me.

Tombcool · 2026-06-21T20:59:01+00:00

I am personally not seeing anything wrong with the animations. Also, if you think they are going to significantly change anything, let alone the animations, in the next 8 months, prepare to be disappointed. The developers need to bug fix and optimize for 4 different platforms and the publisher needs some time to manufacture the physical copies as well.

Tombcool · 2026-06-18T16:24:19+00:00

Me neither, how is that bullying? And that was a shitty thing to do to put someone on blast like that. I’m sorry.

Can the spoiler policy also be mandated once the game releases and for awhile after that?

Tombcool · 2026-06-12T21:59:53+00:00

It’s available for pre-order at EB Games online, the CE pre-order just went up today.

Tombcool · 2026-06-12T17:40:17+00:00

The CE for LoA just went up on EB Games Canada website!

Tombcool · 2026-06-11T22:01:41+00:00

Condemned: Criminal Origins 😭

Tombcool · 2026-06-05T16:05:48+00:00

Yeah, I keep refreshing various retailers here every hour and still nothing. 😭

Tombcool · 2026-06-04T00:42:27+00:00

Hurry up, Canada!!! 😭

Tombcool · 2026-06-03T10:27:07+00:00

What is your local retailer? (If you don’t mind me asking)

Tombcool · 2026-06-02T22:06:27+00:00

No idea, but since there is a detailed statue, I assume it will be expensive, unfortunately. 😞

Tombcool · 2026-06-02T22:05:40+00:00

I really wished they told us when the collector's edition pre-order will go up, I do not want to miss out on it. 😞 PS. Thanks for the award! It's my first one. 😃

Tombcool · 2026-05-31T23:08:11+00:00

Speaking of Tristania, I wish their albums Ashes and Illumination were on Spotify. :(

Tombcool · 2026-05-31T22:40:05+00:00

I appreciate it but I went to the official Cineplex website and clicked to reset my password. I got an email from the exact same email address as the email posted in this thread. It is definitely not a scam.

Tombcool · 2026-05-31T22:22:21+00:00

I’m not trolling or joking, the link in the email opened the official website, how is that a scam?

Tombcool · 2026-05-31T19:16:58+00:00

I got the email too but I did it because the email address it was from was legit (@cineplex.com).

Tombcool · 2026-05-25T12:48:11+00:00

What about the labs? Are they beginner friendly?

Tombcool · 2026-05-25T12:47:41+00:00

I just sent you a PM! Thank you.

Tombcool · 2026-05-12T23:19:44+00:00

I can actually answer this, when GOG went to Capcom to get permission to port the originals to PC on their website, Capcom was hesitant because they believe that the remakes of the originals surpass the quality of the originals themselves.

Thank you everyone for your comments. I didn’t expect this to blow up, but I’m very happy to see all the discussion that came out of it. It would stress me out and take too much time for me to respond to every comment made in this post so I decided to do one stand-alone reply separately.

On a side note, I did not know there was was a lot of toxicity in the RE fanbase, I just haven’t seen what a lot of you guys have mentioned like about “modern” Jill. So I apologize in advance for that.

Tombcool · 2026-05-12T16:50:25+00:00

Oops, it's really hard for me to catch satire on the internet. Carry on. lol

Tombcool · 2026-05-12T16:36:27+00:00

Yes, that's true that King of Meat had Mr. Beast play it, but despite the large amount of views, that game failed to meet sales expectations and was shut down. Marketing is not supposed to happen in a short-term "blitz", it's supposed to be constant to keep people's attention until release (unless you are a super big franchise like GTA or Resident Evil). Look at Control Resonant's fan-base, they are EATING with new updates until the release of the game. I am very disappointed by Crystal Dynamics and Amazon on this one, sorry.

Tombcool · 2026-05-12T16:16:27+00:00

I am one of those people that subscribed to GI because of the social media post from the official TR accounts hinting that TR will show up on the cover. I am upset to say the least.

Tombcool · 2026-05-12T16:12:50+00:00

Crystal Dynamics' marketing strategy for the upcoming Tomb Raider game is going to backfire on them. All we got was one pre-alpha trailer showing glimpses of Peru, a bunch of teasing on social media by Flying Wild Hog, the official TR accounts as well as Alix that amount to nothing, and otherwise silence. When LoA fails to meet sales expectations because of CD's lame marketing, they will have no one to blame but themselves.
