I went through it i think about 3 times, It wasn' t very long...
Soul reaver 2 picked up right where number 1 finished and continues it... Amazing, though i found SR2 to be a lot more open... it' was huge compared to the original.

Makes me what to go back and play it again

The Soul Reaver games were awesome, ... Raziel in particular was a great character.

I wouldn' t want them to continue the series like with Tomb Raider though, but a next-gen remake would be cool.

In fact, there are several games i would like remade...

Crystal dynamics doesnt do the tomb raider franchise, C.O.R.E however does, and IMPO, most of what core' s done has stunk.

Don' t know why, but for some reason most brit developers make bad games..Correct me if i' m wrong.

Then again, rare is british.
Then again again, rare hasnt been doing as well as they once had.

Perhaps you shouldn' t try to be a smart ass and do some research, ...because you' re completely wrong.

Core Design no longer makes the Tomb Raider games, mostly due to the mess they made of Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness.

Since Eidos also own Crystal Dynamics, they game the franchise to them, ...a move which prompted the key members of the Core Design team to leave and form a company called Circle Studio.

Last year SCi bought Eidos and the quality of the work is said to have picked up. I guess we' ll see how Legend turn out...

dammit am trying to find a link i found on my pda at work, listing some the the screens at the top of the thread as PS2 ones...

So they may be stealing the 360 ones, bu it does add a little hope for you majik..

Not so lucky i' m afraid...

PS2...



360...



The character models are different.

Now, from what i have been able to garner, this...



...is what most of the game looks like, but the Tokyo level and the other urban levels look like this...



...which is pathetic. I find it hard to believe that the developers haven' t noticed the difference. They would have been better off removing the rubbish looking levels and replacing them with more outdoor locations!

Having said that, some parts of the Tokyo level look pretty good...







...so perhaps there is hope afterall...

Also, as far as the multi-platform thing goes, ...if Ubisoft can manage it with Double Agent, then Crystal Dynamics should be able to manage it with Tomb Raider, and for the most part they have done, i just think that the Tokyo level looks horrible.

Alright, calm down son, it was an honest mistake.

Perhaps there is hope for this game afterall.

LOL!

Ignore me when i start being harsh, ...I don' t mean anything by it.

There' s hope, but i still don' t see why they would release these screens...



The pillar on the left isn' t even round. You' d think that they' d fix that kind of stuff for the 360 version. The character models for both Lara and her enemies are sub-par too, or at least look it.

...and i think this looks unforgivable...



I woud expect that from the original Xbox, not my next-gen console...

All I' m saying is that they would have stopped making Tomb Raider games after the first one if it was Larry instead of Laura. Same with DOA, the DOA series is worthless with Tekken and Virtual Fighter.

I disagree. DOA looks better than both of them put together, and it' s more fun. Tekken 5 SUCKS ASS!! Virtual Fighter is pretty tight, gameplay wise, though.

Oh, and on the subject of Tomb Raider, I just hope the " roots" they' re going back to is the enjoyment of the gameplay in the original. That game was lots of fun.

It' s not as good as Virtua Fighter but it' s better than Tekken.

I loved Tekken 2, 3 and 5 and i' ll be buying Dark Ressurection for PSP, but DOA is waaaaay more fun.

DOA4 is GREAT, and not because of the reason you point out. Shit, Team Ninja actually made female characters worth having and they' re every bit as badass as the male ones. I was never keen on DOA3 but i loved DOAU. DOA4 is different to previous DOA games, it plays differently and is a more complex game.

Roll on VF5 though!

Amen!

Id really like the game to be good, i had a special feeling playing tomb raider 1 and 2. Especially the openig of the 1st, with the cave and the wolves.

They should really go more into the cave buisness again! And less shooting people!

I like the bike scene shown above... I' ll be checking out the 360 version if it' s released next month as well.. Lara and I were never properly introduced. I' ve only played a demo of the first game I think, and that only lasted a few minutes because my attention span sorta sucked way back then and it was a demo of the PC version...
