wish list for patch 4

[SchnellFarhen]

Now that we can switch outfits:

would it be possible to have correct footsteps sound for Lara, when she is barefoot or wearing shoes for all levels..

Golden Lara and Bacon Lara would also be really cool reward for after completing the games.

[Topazlink]

Outfit select isn't available in classic graphics for at least 3 reasons, because they're still using the old files:

1. They store all the models and textures they use inside the level file itself, this includes Lara in the outfit used for that level.

2. Lara's braid physics aren't possible in Tomb Raider 1.

3. Tomb Raider 1 only has 8-bit colour depth for its textures, so you can't really put textures from 2 or 3 into it as it doesn't have the required range of colours to display them correctly.


It may still be possible somehow, but I wouldn't bet on it, unfortunately. I'd love to be proven wrong though if the devs or a modder can figure out how to do it.

So I take it Patch IV is never happening.

Hi dml!

Thanks for your advice, but please use spoiler tag next times in case some one wants to find it out by themselves ;)

Anyway, I found the first jump by myself which seems ok in my opinion since you can either directly jump on the platform or hang with your arms.
But the 2nd jump was frustrating and I even checked a short yt video.
I tried that jump before i watched the video or read your post, but for me it was 100% physically not possible...

It's cheating because Lara's shoulder is basically inside the wall.

I really don't like the fact that players aren't supposed to get all items.

Cheers!

Apologies for that, I didn't think people would want to find out 100% items is not plausible the hard way. I expected most people going for it would be annoyed having to play certain levels all the way though again because they need glitches to acquire them

I think the difficulty of acquiring all items is unfortunately a by-product of the developers wanting to include alternate paths - there have to be a sensible amount of items on each forking path or it would be too much of a penalty for choosing a certain path without prior knowledge. Then again they put secrets that can only be obtained on certain paths which is more egregious than items if you ask me, since collecting all secrets actually has a purpose in TR3.

i would like to see options added for rebinding inventory menu keys for navigation, having to use arrow keys is just annoying

That reminds me, I also would like them to allow using E (the the interact button) to confirm in the inventory.
It's annoying that you have to use Enter for it.

I hope that patch 4 has graphical improvements, and that's the good thing, I think that Tomb Raider 1 and 2 can still be improved, for example those 2 statues in the sanctuary of scion Horus and Seth's can be made with hands, legs and feet

[superbegita76800]

Humm in all cases it seem they still on patch 4 for sure, the build number had raised considerably since 3 months.

No way.

We've already seen a clip where it looks like they've added a dome model in Thames Warf, and they changed some of the light colours. Doesn't mean they're going to make big changes everywhere, but that clip suggests that there will be some graphical "improvements" at least.

The main thing that comes to mind for graphical improvements to me is the water and footprint textures in TR3.
The water, overall, looked better in Patch 2, and there's still glitchy looking waterfalls. Best example is in Nevada Dessert.

And the black footprints look like her boots are melting. Which isn't too bad in Nevada (with it being so hot), but it looks horrible in Antarctica. It's snow! Why is she leaving soot trails everywhere?

ok water too, but I think tomb raider 3 and ok , but tomb raider 1 and 2 can be improved even more with graphical improvements, hopefully 3 months have passed, but I think they were busy with soul reaver 1 and 2 remaster

[Genesis 26]

what I want to say is that they can improve the environments of tomb raider 2 and 1 to make them less cubic for example the sand in egypt and the lava in the pyramid of natla the animals too, those 2 statues in the sanctuary of the scion of seth and horus so it can resemble tomb raider anniversary

I don't see it happening with those statues - a good portion of it is geometry, and to look enough like the Anniversary versions they would need most of it converted to models which would cause collision issues and thus make climbing impractical.

As for rounding off edges I wouldn't expect them to do it for every natural material in the entire games, it would be far too much work at this stage. Plus some care needs to be taken because climbing can look strange at certain angles when the edges are rounded, as Lara's hands will look like they're floating if the camera angle is towards the side of her.

tbh i think the graphics are fine, im hoping they do a remaster for chronicles and last revelation
