Having just replied to Randy in the thread regarding games similar to Tomb Raider, it might well be a good idea to share some YouTube (or other media site), clips that offer us a taster for a game or two, old and new! For Randy and others, I firstly offer a clip of Indianna Jones and The Infernal Machine in accordance with the subject matter of my reply so you can get a taste for the graphics and general gameplay - which incidentally, is on a par with old-skool Raiding.  Obviously, due to the nature of these clips being visual walkthroughs, we can't avoid the spoiler element. However, if some of us buy a game on the strength of the visual media, we'll soon forget about the part we viewed. Ergo, it would always be advisable to choose a mid-way level clip so as not to ruin neither the start nor the conclusion of any specific game - just offer a flavour of the game. So here to kick us off is a sample of Indy - I have actually chosen a review clip so please mute the sound if you do not want too many audio spoilers Comments both welcomed and appreciated in terms of how you think that, visually, it compares with Tomb Raider:http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=hDMM3ZVE1ss&feature=PlayList&p=15C7122541CF7915&playnext=1&index=33 |

Thanks Lo, the Emperor's Tomb doesn't look bad at all. I hope it's available for PS2. |

Hiya Randy, I had not initially realised that Emperor's Tomb was an auto-run from the first video. But it looks like it is dependant on the mouse (for PC players), for camera visuals grrr! I forget you don't play on PC, Randy and I don't think Infernal Machine is available for the consoles but it's very easy to play old-skool games on a PC. Trust me It's only when you hit the next-gens whereby you need to be an expert at Braille

Relax Randy. Emperor's Tomb is available on PS2 and Xbox. My cousins own the PS2 version so I know from personal experience.  Here's some clips of a few games I recommended: http://youtube.com/watch?v=0UJ8KjdfmbU - Oni trailer http://youtube.com/watch?v=-rQmXEjIQcY - Ratchet and Clank intro (really great game! I'm still working on completing the last level!) http://youtube.com/watch?v=lG9TeUzZchY - HD trailer for the upcoming game inFamous http://youtube.com/watch?v=qLBKdERWP2I&feature=related - Parasite Eve, shots for the upcoming title - 3rd Birthday (I've heard this game's good) http://youtube.com/watch?v=2IgDxprn8bk&feature=related - Kingdom Hearts, TGS '07 trailer for Birth by Sleep (it's a good game and it has just as simple of a system as TR and an incredible storyline! Great for those who want extreme epicness! ) |

Your welcome! De nada! Doi itashimajide! Need I say it in other languages?  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RQSQ6zvuiU - TR:U Beneath the Ashes Trailer HD - Either I got authentic pre-release shivers, or the room was too cold while I was watching it today. I'm not raising my hopes up too high, but something tells me that the environments would be less glitchy (if not that then executed better) than TR:U was.

I don't know what to say here. Sometime back, on the Eidos forum, there was a thread, "what would you like to see in the next game?" And my post was about finding a dungeon under Croft Manor. Old 04-01-2008, 12:14 AM #42 Randy 54 Gamer Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: abandonware Posts: 424 Default I would like to find a hidden entrance out on the grounds that leads to a secret dungeon that's filled with rooms and mazes that lead back to the mansion. Only problem, once you enter, there's no way out except in the mansion. Along the way, I would find the weaponry and whatever else that's needed to start the game. Randy 54 is online now Report Post This sounds very much like my idea, could it be........................... |

wow... Something tells me that they implemented exactly what you just described. According to some news articles, the clips in the dev diary were from the beginning. You're a TR Mozart and a VG revolutionary! |

Oh my, thank you Singstar. I pasted the actual post but it didn't reproduce like I thought it would. Isn't that freaky? |
