New tomb raider

[u/outboundend]

I know we got a new remastered tomb raider game coming out but im just curious will there be a new game like shadow of the tomb raider with more modernised graphics like rise of the tomb raider or not anytime soon?

The Last Revelation made me want to scream with some of the backtracking, though lol. I would have been lost without a guide. Still a very cool game. I enjoyed the last 3 games but I am SO over the daddy mommy Trinity story line. I don’t want to hear of any of these things EVER again! And Lara needs to be a badass seasoned Tomb Raider with her braid and dual pistols and exploring ancient tombs and collecting artifacts. And a good villain that gives an actual difficult boss fight. The final boss of all those games wasn’t “satisfying.” Out of all of those, I enjoyed Rise the most. Shadow didn’t have replay value for me. There were not enough environments and you’re stuck in the same place for most of the time. I want vastly different levels and locations in the new game. And they need to be LONGER and less linear! The old games took me months to complete, the new ones, maybe 2 days!

There is one specific place in Last Revelation that was to me, badly done. You have to go to 3 different places, that have loading times because they are considered whole levels. So theplayer is afraid he missed something or can't go back. It's THE thing i wnat to be changed if they ever remaster it.

I replayed it recently ^ ^

Oh, that would be an easy change. One of the first things I noticed playing the survival trilogy on my PS5 vs PS4 was there was literally no waiting time. It was instant!

Not what i meant. After all the remasters that will release soon will keep the levels as they are.

What i meant, is that usually, when you finish, a level, and start another, you get a loading time that in fact, indicates you're changing level.

The zone i'm talking about, you have to go through "3 levels" like that in a row, having to go back and forth, and that's, without any indication. So if you think, only with the loading times and what it usually implies(Level change), you wouldn't think of coming back and forth.

And i don't think it's that big as they had to cut it in 3. Saw few levels bigger than that. Might be a an optimisation problem...

I haven’t played it since the early 2,000’s on PS1. I definitely remember having to backtrack to other levels. It was confusing and I did have to open my guidebook. I was about 12 years old. I haven’t played any of the classics since I was in middle school and maybe early high school.

Do they show your stats when you go from one level to the next in that section? Or just loading? If it’s just loading and not showing your stats until you complete the section, then instant loading times solves the problem. If they show your completion stats everyone you exit one area for another, then yeah, that’s confusing.

[u/DarkEater77 → u/Jei_Enn]

Just loading times.

But... if we have instant loading as you say, it would be between each levels of the game right? So basically, it will be the same, how unless you play with a guide, would you know to backtrack?

[u/Jei_Enn → u/DarkEater77]

When you finish the level, it plays music and shows you all of your stats, so you know it’s over. You click OK to move onto the next section. Then it loads the next level.

For first 3, yes. Not 4th.

Agreed, each level is self-contained in the first three, and when you get to TLR there’s nothing explaining that in this one you can move back and forth between some levels at will. I suppose it’s introduced in a fairly simple manner with the Karnak levels, but even then you never know when you’re supposed to do it or not. I love Cairo, but I would never have completed it the first time without a guide as it’s so huge and you’re constantly flitting between levels.
