Tomb Raider AoD - Restoration Project 1.2.0 Showcase [RELEASED] 

You got that daaaamn right ! I sometimes find myself actually listening to the soundtrack ! This one and Anniversary probably have the best ones of the whole franchise

Its problem wasn't a rushed release, Core didn't manage the project properly, which resulted in a development hell and they started everything over after 1 year in development. Crystal Dynamics developed their engine and created Legend, a rather polished game, in 3 years, whereas Core couldn't even finish AOD in 4 years. The more time a studio works in a single project, the more money it costs, and Core kept asking for more and more time each time the release date was near, so after 3 or 4 delays, Eidos decided that the project wasn't profitable unless they released it, and they made their choice.

@@astrius4125 Kind of reminds me of Metal Gear Solid V, Kojima held the project for a long time and eventually Konami wanted to get some results after years of developments and Kojima's whims. The result was an unfinished game with lots of gameplay features, lots of potential, lots of cut content. I always found AoD and MGS V to have a lot in common.

​@@InbladerI can understand why Kojima handled the project the way he did, he wanted it to be the biggest and best Metal Gear game ever made. But I can understand why Konami was running out of patience. Their games weren't selling like they used to, and Metal Gear was the only franchise they had left that was consistently profitable, so Kojima was given a great deal of agency, and he bit off more than they were willing to give. MGSV's development was taking forever and costing a fortune, and they needed to turn a profit, so the game was released in an incomplete state. It's not surprising that relationships soured the way they did, but unceremoniously dumping him off after finding their new pachinko machine cash cow, then using their legal leverage to prevent him from accepting an award that he rightfully earned, and striking his name from the game series he was so proud of was unbelievably petty and scummy of Konami.

Your prayers have been answered! Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness is getting a remaster, along with The Last Revelation and Chronicles

Thanks for your feedback :) I am aware of the new club entrance being confusing so I will try to make it a bit more obvious that the entrance is no longer from there in the next version. As for the other route in the first level, it's not really possible to fix the missing geometry issues there at the moment so I decided to keep it unnaccessable to make sure the mod is as polished as possible. However, I may make an extra version where that route is accessible in the future :)

@@reborninshadows That sounds nice, can't wait to see what is coming next. About the geometry issues, I know exactly what you mean, the missing walls and textures that appear as soon as you go further into the alternate area. Not too long ago about 3 weeks I saw a video from an unknown user who uploaded a 2 hour cut of the game with a prototype build for ps2. Not too much of a difference from the final product for example a few missing sounds or animations as you could expect, he pretty much just skipped levels back and forth with the cheat option but one interesting fact was that in one clip he was walking down that alternate area. But in his version it was all still there, fully textured walls and no glitching, maybe the whole area was still fully intact and even playable. Unfortunately I couldn't find the video since then I think he or someone who claims copyright took it down. We weren't meant to see this but I am glad I was in the right place at the right time. That could have helped in understanding how the unfinished walls in the alternate starting area looked like. Shame I didn't download it. I don't know but that alternate area always fascinated me, since it is kind of fully playable with lots of cut dialogue, I think it's way more interesting when lara walks on the streets of paris and not on the roofs, even tho from a logical perspective the roof makes more sense when you want to escape from the police. Anyway looking forward for future updates. Thanks for responding.

He's using Reshade. The lighting, etc. used here isn't present in the actual game.

no, it includes my own control changes

www.tombraiderforums.com/showthread.php?t=226260 Download the EXE listed in the opening post, make sure to read the notes and instructions. Once you've installed it, go to your ingame settings and you will see a new option to switch between PC - PS2 style controls and camera :)

@@reborninshadows omg thank you so much. I'm going to try it right now.

The Vector-R35 will not look like the H&K Match in this mod. That is exclusive to Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness Definitive Edition by TRJTA. AoD Definitive Edition will be based off of this mod.

I read the instruction,but the new camera option never appear in my in-game "option".It's weird.

@@cheesehyper9839 have you replaced your game exe with the one included in the mod? it won't work without it

Yes I did.but I cannot find the option.I use Launcher.exe to run the game normally but I can't run the game by the TRAOD_P4，it shows some errors.

@@cheesehyper9839 to run the game directly from TRAOD_P4.exe, you need to put it to one folder backwards from the "bin" folder and try opening from there but it should be working when you start the game from the launcher anyway. Can you confirm that any of the other changes in the exe are working?

@@reborninshadows Seems like other changes is not working😰

And with thr last trilogy?

@@adrimartin6668 Even less so

Still felt great to me

Hopefully yes

@@reborninshadows Do you know when? Amazing job by the way!

What do you mean what happened? It's still being updated

@@reborninshadows i mean in a year is it finished

You can revert the running speed back to normal using the patcher I released (or download the lite version of the exe)

Get over it
