An unused FMV from the original Tomb Raider by Core Design. #TombRaider20 Footage preserved by Planet Lara. Music from Nathan McCree's original Tomb Raider soundtrack added by Crystal Dynamics.
They should have used the original music in Anniversary and hopefully a new Tomb Raider remake of the original game to capture some of the original games atmosphere! This includes the high and low choir voices!
@@SaturnJap depends on FMV quality, PS2 didn't have the level of FFVIII or Tekken's hair physics on FMVs but in-game graphics were very close otherwise.
I grew up with 90's CGI but I honestly don't miss it much (remember that really weird MK1 cartoon? Anyway) I do miss pre-rendered backgrounds though, nowadays it would look super amazing, a shame after PS2 no one used it anymore
alternine No I'm just annoyed by stupidity. People like you throw that word nostalga around as if that automaticly makes your argument win by default. Might wanna go back to school and take a logic class and learn how to make an actual argument. One word isn't nearly enough debunk a claim or argument.
Joncharmed93 it's really pathetic how some people think that their opinion is above others or that if they don't like something or if they outgrew something then that makes anyone else who still likes it either crazy or stupid or "nostalgic" or whatever. Like it's a game, if somebody loves it or prefers it over others, why does that bother somebody else so much that they feel the need to make an argument out of it, as if there's anything to win from that. LOL
she's too whinny now and the story has nothing to do with the source material she doesn't even evolve within the story she's literally the same in all 3 games. LOL
@@CoriSparx That, and it doesn't seem to add anything particularly significant to understanding the story. Despite the scion activating, it didn't show anything comprehensive. The boat scene was drawn out, and the contents of the book added nothing as far as I could see. It would've been visually pretty at the time, but nothing more.
Why did "Core Design" have to die? Just because of the mistakes in AOD ? It's a shame because this team was exceptionally good at their artistic abilities. Alone this music from the great "Mr. Nathan Mc Cree" was sooooo atmospheric and nostalgic ...👌 ...Thank you for sharing....and greetings from Germany.....😎
I agree wholeheartedly. such an awesome design team. I think they spent a lot of money on Angel of Darkness so they have to shut down when it did not do so well. It sold pretty well though. I am not sure completely why they shut down. But they were phenomenal on the PS1. Ninja is a fun game, and I kind of enjoyed Deathtrap Dungeon and Fighting Force.
My favorite theme from the Tomb Raider games was the theme from The Last Revelation. I would just stay at the main menu to listen and watch the awesome opening.
@@Oldschool1943 I played a few levels of IV but I didn't like it that much. Few years ago I played through all of Chronicles because I hoped that I got a similar feeling like with TR II. But unfortunately it wasn't that good either in my opinion. So I stick with I - III. Those are the legendaries for me. I didn't like any of the other TR games. Angel of Darkness is pure garbage and the first reboot was weird. The second reboot was a woke catastrophe with a QTE shitfest.
These Tomb Raider's music and animations used to scare the shit out of me when I was young. I still loved to play the games, though. Great times, great memories.
I was always scared to swim, those sharks and the fact that i can drown. I'm playing the original trilogy now and still scared of Lara's life every step of the way 😁
Core desing, we want you back. I watch the tb anniversary edition for psp, and see that no one capture the real escense of lara and the atmosphere from the tombs ; the ilumination, ambient, music, and the gameplay, all was perfect.
Why was this deleted? At the moment I'm replaying the classics and I'm currently finishing TRII so this video came out almost just in time. I do miss the classic Lara.
I'm wondering the same, it doesn't really seem to be connected to the scion...or is it? :/ Edit: Okay, as it seems this is the beta version of the scion and in this FMV lara puts all three pieces of the scion toghether tombraider.fandom.com/wiki/Atlantean_Scion
I always loved this intro and wish it had made it into the game properly. It shows so much of Laras character without any need for action or dialogue or an over-flattering camera angle. All we need here is a magnificent set piece, some colorful and interesting environments and an effortlessly beautiful and capable Lara to make us want to explore whatever mysteries are about to unfold before us 😊❤️🔥
FMVs were such a treat as a kid, like a reward for slogging through bad graphics, they felt like movies. Nowadays they look garbage but at the time we were gagging for smooth "high res/poly" graphics.
... Why do I feel Deja Vu watching this?... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before. I can't believe this game is 20! I played it for the first time in 2010 at ten years old on a dusty PS1 and have loved the series ever since. I'm working on an art project to celebrate it's anniversary, too.
There is a very similar scene in Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, the second Angelina Jolie movie, where she decodes the Orb aboard that Chinese family's houseboat and sees images leading her to Africa. It would appear this cutscene may have served for the inspiration for that scene.
I wish they could remake the whole series (including the angel of darkness which can be fixed and updated) with all the music and gameplay. Maybe it will be a hit, if not I would still pay.
more like stolen from the original for 2013 fan fiction trilogy. not sure how ur getting that vibe though since 2013 is a carbon copy of shutter island.
Because of my nostalgia for this series of games, I enjoyed this one clip more than anything being offered today by any studio. The video game industry is in SHAMBLES, and the AAA publishers could learn a thing or two from the golden age of video games.
The animation of journal is insane It bothers me how little appreciation they had for the efforts of the people who made this so that they never put it in the project
This came out only a year after Toy Story, and despite only having a small team of people to work on the fmv's, compared to the huge team Toy Story had. It general looks pretty good.
20tn anniversary of the true Tomb Raider, look where it is now....Across the wrong side of the pond, with depressing non memorable theme music and run by people who don't know what to do with this aristocratic British heroine! Can we please have Lady Croft back, along with her dignity?
Her aristocratic elements were her worst elements. Lara had a lot more to offer than 'class' (a word which is not entirely disentangled from 'social class'). I agree, it sucks that we don't make the games here in Derby any more, but that's how globalisation works. We don't make our own steal. We don't make most of our own media representations. It's none of the companies faults. The music in the new game is great, though I admit that there is no need for the lack of signature music, especially the classic theme. Lara is my favourite video game character, but she was also incredibly flawed. Her personality often didn't amount to more than cheesy one liners, her wealth was used to make her seem cool (as though rich people are better than poor people), she was too superhuman, and she wasn't a serious archaeologist. These are all things that have been worked on for the new games. I don't know exactly what you think is missing?
+ FreekinEkin2 If Lara has more to offer than 'class', then eschewing her aristocratic elements for the 2013 reboot, is disingenuously throwing the baby out with the bath water from the cannon. Disclaimer,. haven't played Rise of the Tomb Raider. For PlayStation 4 owners such as myself, a damning example of Microsoft's 'globalisation', and yes that sucks! The dreadful title theme music from the reboot continues to be used? I cannot recall a single note of that right now....Which is a shame. Classic Lara came across as a convincingly well read, intelligent research archaeologist. And a 'classy', witty, gutsy adversary against her foes. That's the Lara I miss, flaws and all. In Tomb Raider 2013, Lara herself is 'broken' into an uninspired character, that I really had no empathy for. She lurched from one disaster to another, suddenly becoming her homicidal gun-crafting American cousin Laura Croft in the process and left me feeling underwhelmed. I know which Lara I prefer.
+MrAeRoZz That and the 2013 game title being a complete misnomer, there is no Tomb Raiding....More accurate to call it Cave Looter? The original games made you feel like an explorer and intelligent solver of ancient puzzles. This one talked down to the player, by giving them almost immediate access to a 'survival Instinct' help mechanism, that removed any of challenge whatsoever to the increasingly repetitive 'puzzles' therein. What a let down!
Original Lara Croft was the best, some people think the new Lara looks better but to me she don't even look like Lara, so glad they remastered 1, 2 n 3 into HD for Xbox n PS, I hope they bring Tomb Raider 4: The Last Revelation in HD too, being able to play the originals on Xbox bring bck so many childhood memories.
I'll bet this was extremely fascinating back then. While I was born in 2002 and grew up with stuff like COD and sonic colors, this is still pretty interesting.
oohh so this was the idea that cradle of life got it from. thanks, Simon west for at least attempting to recreate these scenes from classic and the real tomb raider/lara croft.
This is actually well directed lol like the timing, the shots length and movement, even Lara acting is all sooo smooth and they deliver a great storytelling experience. Might no add nothing to the plot but its great.
Even though this has what would be considered "bad cgi" by today's standards, it still feels incredibly immersive, like i almost feel like I'm in that hotel room with Lara. This is also dripping with atmosphere, it's such a shame it was cut.
There's such a lovely wonder and beauty to this cutscene. Why the heck did they remove it?... Glad I got to see this though, cheers for sharing. When the hologram displayed, first I thought "Wow, that must be Atlantian or something because of how advanced that relic is...". And then I thought "Me no dumb dumb! you dumb dumb!" 😅😝
TR classics are better compared to the new ones... i noticed that most of the games today are similar.. like shoot and survival or sumting... UNCHARTED, HORIZON DAWN, RISE OF THE TR... the gameplays are all the same.. this type of TR makes you feel like an adventurer and a real ARCHEOLOGIST.. the new ones are just plain like hack and slash thing... too bad... and PS: i prefer the old LARA compared to the new one...
I don't have sound ATM, but after seeing this honestly I'm surprised (and curious why) it went unused... I wonder if there were others. I love the vibe of the setting here.
Yes, because if they so much as touch this with a modern studio, it'll be completely broken. And we don't need yet another crappy remaster ruining what was once an amazing game.
I’m assuming since she has two pieces and the background outside looks like Greece, I’m assuming this was the original FMV used between tomb of Tihocan and City of Kahmoon
