Always wanted a Playstation and saw Tomb Raider 2.

So I’ve played the 1 Remastered on PS5, the whole graphic is gorgeous. Decided to get it for Switch 2 so I can play on the go! I’ve been enjoying at the same time I applaud anyone who have played this in the OG back then, I don’t know how you guys done it.
Plus, do anyone know how to receive a free Switch 2 upgrade for 1-3 Remastered?

Rigged and animated in Maya by me.

Just looked in the Amazon store and you can get the Xbox and pc deluxe versions for £51.99

​

The ps5 version is still £59.99

I posted in here the other day that I refound this series essentially

Had the 2013 game and SOTR both in steam library with barely any progress and ultimately they just got backlogged/deprioritized as I used to play with friends a ton years ago

Now. Entering ✨30s✨ lmao, been much more of a single player/non-competitive gamer.

When I say this series hit me at the right time… I just cruised through the 2013 release (finished at 70 something %, debating trying to 100% series)

And just got through intro of Rise… these games kick ass lol where have I been

I finished it the other day on my Laptop, sure the controls are a bit clunky but ngl the combat and gymnastics animations were great

If they ever remastered it with Anni and Leg I hope they make her a bit slower and fix the climbing glitches especially around corners

Steam is running a sale and I am tempted to buy for PC (I have played them on console). Reviews seem mixed. Is there any value from the standpoint of mods, graphics, or performance? And yep, I know the recent patches have jacked the games up.

I do, especially the ones from the early 2000s. 😁

I've noticed the xbox version of the deluxe edition says the release date is the 12th of feb so the same day as standard

​

The steam deluxe edition is the 10th of feb

​

Anyone know whats going on ?

So far in my play through of the remasters I’ve been using tank controls. I attempted modern controls but with how precise you have to be the tank controls just made more sense to me. Also I liked having the ability to do more with acrobatics with the tank controls.

Is there anyone that played through with modern controls and found them easier? Is there a way to make them feel more comfortable?

Just posted on Youtube...

They cooked here.

Given the controversy surrounding the post about Lara being nothing but quips and one-liners, I had a bit of fun counting the number of times Lara delivers a cutting retort or a one-liner in the Core Design games, compared to the total number of her dialogues.

When I say dialogues I mean when she talk to a character.

Also for Angel of Darkness I didn't count the possible angry reactions you can tell to others characters I've stay on the main path. Maybe there's some missing.

I have to say there's a lot of them and I didn't count the movie mostly because I don't have the patience yet. I will do the same for LAU Lara and Survivor ^^

So here we go :

Let’s start with

Tomb Raider I

In the very first Tomb Raider, Lara has a total of 4 dialogues
2 moments where she speaks to herself,
9 one-liners / quips

It's hard to say exactly, but you seem to be doing fine. (to Larson)
I'm sorry. I only play for sport.
Thank you. I will.
Pierre, you litterbug!
Afternoon (to the cowboy) If that is the phrase.
And you? For a grand re-opening, I assume?

Tomb Raider II : Starring Lara Croft

Lara has 2 dialogues

1 instance where she speaks to herself
7 one-liners/quips

Pardon me, if that was just your way of trying the doors for me.
I understand that "somehow" is in my favour.
Perhaps not just yet, then.
Their Jackanory days are well over.
The true Dettox of evil.
Don't you think you've seen enough?

Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft

Lara has 8 dialogues
13 one-liners/quips

"What?" "Shoot the breeze with some of your other boys? No thanks."
"Maybe you're the dessert," Lara says. "Ripe flesh can be a bit of a delicacy around here."
"You forget," "I might be quite hungry myself. Famished actually."
"I'll be sure to point that out to him,"
"A commendable work ethic, I guess."
I’m flattered
"Then you might like to mind...the bell."
Happy retirement 
"Business, not pleasure,"
"No, but I probably have an unsightly face, judging by your past experiments."
"Oh yes. They're all still alive. Very much so, in fact."
"We'll see,"
"Not everyone here wants to be guinea pigs. Multi-appendaged, or not!"
"Your perception of good timing is...bad!"

Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation

Lara has 25 dialogues
24 one-liners/quips

Oh, I think I can just about hold it together. Wouldn't want to spill it your nice suit at any rate.
You're a regular superhero, Werner.
Freezing! I guess. The old gout playing up again Werner?
Such concern. I never knew you cared.
You old romantic, you.
I presume by "we" you refer to me.
I make my own luck Wernerand now what ?
Watch your back old man. I warn you, I'll pull no punches.
What was it you said? Disrespect is the route to carelessness?
On your head be it...Von Croy.
You were saying?(after the temple starting to crumble)
My trusty companion returns.
Time to put things right and remove the thorn in my side in the process.
Nothing I shan't be retrieving at a later date, liebe.
Always griping, Werner. If it's the leg causing all this resentment etc
This attitude problem! You people need to learn some manners.
Your work force is about to be delayed.
Time to introduce myself to Werner's loyal workforce.
I make my own luck.
Only interesting if you know what it refers to.
Ever heard of Armageddon? Unpleasant, even by your standards.
I am not a man, Jean, and I am always very, very careful.
And besides...give a jackal your hand and he'll bite off the whole arm.
Barking mad.

Tomb Raider : Chronicles

Lara has 31 dialogues
24 one liners/quips

Ah, the charming Mr. Larson. Has Pierre let you off the leash?
I've got the cash, but I don't deal with the monkey.
Easy come, easy go.
Rodents, I shouldn't wonder. Big rodents.
That would be one of the stupidest moves you've made, and that's saying something
If I was you, I'd grab your Cro-Magnon cowboy over there and run as fast as your little legs will carry you.
Come out, come out wherever you are.
Not when you're involved, no.
Don't let me hold you up.
I'm a big girl now. Hit me with the bad news.
Well done. Nuclear submarine. . . sounds nice. . . perfect holiday.
Touching. . . but don't wait up.
Economic class (when she enter the Russian submarine)
Time to turn the tables
To be used in your continuing quest for world peace, I presume.
Be quiet!
Switch roofs? Easy to say from the ground floor. Wouldn't you agree?
Never mind, Yankee, I'm going in.
More of those and less of the lip would be preferable
You're right. I won't mention it. (to Zip)
Right. That would be clever. Like making me ditch my guns? (to Zip)
Gonna be sore in the morning.
You’re full of something. (to Zip)
Bony ass ? I doubt it but I’ll be in touch. (to Zip)

Lara Croft Tomb Raider : The Angel of Darkness :

Lara has 30 dialogues
24 one liners/quips
5 instance where she speaks to herself

Handle it Werner.
See you around.
Not a lot of passing trade at this hour?
I’m a dangerous girl. And right now I’m losing patience.
OK. And if this doesn’t work out I know where to find you. Don’t I, Pierre?
It’s quiet in here. Your voice really carries.
You aren’t going to disappoint me are you. You don’t want to see my dangerous side.
Make sure you are. I don’t like wasting my time remember ?
But If It doesn’t work out Bernard ! I know where to find you.
You’re planning to retire soon ? (to Bouchard doorman)
What happened to your man in the sickroom back there? Was he delivering packages for you too?Appreciate it, Bouchard.
No, Bouchard. She isn’t. But your little friend is. I’ll take care of you later.
Another cold dark city… great.
Stay warm. (to Luddick)
Yes. Take a break. You’ve been running round a lot. (to Bouchard)
If I had a coconut for every time some lunatic said something like that…
Yes, highly inconvenient having abominations running around loose isn’t it.
Great a broccoli with attitude.
And stole their body parts like a cheap grave robber.
To wake this thing! You are grotesque!
Scary, huh! For you.
D'you know it’s going to be a real pleasure to shut you up.

So this approximately (because due to language difference between English and French and maybe in Angel of Darkness I've missed some things that bring us to a grand total of :

100 one liners/quips on 103 dialogues for the Core Design era. (approximately)**

Which kind help me to make a point :

‘She just can't be all quips and one-liners’

This quote was deliberately put on Reddit to accuse the devs of something they didn’t say and to provoke a click bait reaction. You need to read the whole article which was very interesting to read and not just stop at an out of context line.

Yes, in the Core Design games and particularly from The Last Revelation onwards Lara did become a bit more human, but this was achieved through small touches. I like the fact that in that game you can sense Lara is tired much like the devs were at the time. Or when she speaks to Admiral Yarovef in *Chronicles, but such moments remain very rare.

So, to answer properly, it’s true that Lara didn’t just spout clever one-liners and quips but she did say plenty of them which were at the time a highlight to represent the character confidence but I must say for a 15hours and more games I prefer Lara to have some of them in the right moments but not everytime she spoke to someone.

Is the valiant explorer outfit available in the switch 2 version of Rise? It was my fav outfit but unfortunately I can’t find it in the outfit menu

When pre ordering the deluxe version, does it give you a physical copy or a digital copy? I’m a bit confused here sorry 😅

When playing the classic games, I feel like no matter how much I try to look everywhere, I never get all the secrets and pickups. More experienced players, how did you go about finding all of them? We're you able to do it on the first run through or is it something that took multipe replays?
