>came out in the same year>astronomical difference in controls and responsiveness
>>739876115true, mario really was slidey garbage.
>>739876115Funnily, Tomb Raider formed the blueprint of the movement in the 3D TES games, but they took away the ledge-grabbing after Redguard.
>>739876115<-- The true classic of that year.
>>739876115I know, it's crazy how tomb raider has much better level design and gameplay
>>739876115I'm getting filtered by the combat in Tomb Raider, I find all the platforming and exploring fun but whenever I get to an enemy I just take out my strongest weapon and hold shoot while doing slow retarded backhops hoping the lion, monkey or mummy doesn't reach me and take away 90% of my health (while Lara puts her hands arms up because the enemy is too close for her to aim at and accepts her death). I haven't ever had a single moment where I truly felt like I was fighting something instead of just cheesing it by standing on a platform they can't reach or hoping and praying when that's not an option.Tell me I'm missing something
>>739877284Nah it just kind of sucks and winning back then required cheese strategies
>>739876115Here's my challenge to Nintendo. In Super Mario 65 add a story in which Mario gets testicular cancer. Imagine a vulnerable Mario persisting in his worldly adventures in spite of his illness. It needs some fleshing out (No pun intended) but we think the gaming world would be SHOCKED!
>>739877284>hitscan gunnersRun behind them or if they're too far away, block line of sight until they run closer.>anything meleeJust find higher ground or flip around them (flip rolls are your friend)>TR1 centaursSide flip while shooting and you'll dodge their projectiles easily>those fast TR1 mummies/atlantean monsters that charge at you or shoot bullets at you from a distanceGood luck lol. There's some glitch where they don't attack when you backstep but you're usually still fucked at close range.
>>739876994so long gay torso!
>>739876864>flight segments aren’t even 3D
>>739876115Nothing can top the original Tomb Raider
>>739879726>>flight segments aren’t even 3DPlaystation 1 North American launch: 9.9.1995Crash Bandicoot release date: 9.9.1996 (two weeks before the NA launch of the N64, Mario 64 and Pilotwings 64)
>>739876785>redguard stole ledge grabbing
>>739880472The amount of optimizations they had to do to get this game running on the PS1 will never be replicated again, not because technology is "better" but because devs today are lazy bastards who have zero love for the craft.
>>739877284>while doing slow retarded backhopstry pressing the jump button
First true 3rd person 3D mascot platformer on the Playstation. Released November 1996.
Unmatched water physics in 1996. Not even Wave Race Blue Storm could top it.
how did they perfect 3D on the first try?
>>739880560Trash 1 was literally breaking sonys own rules for other devs to overwork the console so hard that playing this furry shovelware is literally destroying your console.
>>739880564this does help. I do use backflips too but have never used the mid air turn around intentionally for combat, that's definitely something I need to implement. Though even in this webm It seems it's kinda inevitable for the enemies to catch up with you sometimes and get a few hits in but the game gives you plenty of medkits so it's not really a big problem.
>>739880869the secrets = resources system is goated
>>739876115there was nothing like boththose are true masterpieces
>>739880869and improved year after year until 2000
>>739876115Mario, if he had a pair of massive guns
>>739880564Looks good is the PC version or the psx one?
>>739884568the remake retardthere is no health bar for enemies on the old gamesand there is slowdown when the camera faces large buildings
>>739877780easy to beat, but only if you cheat
>>739877284Have you tried jumping sideways in a circle instead of just backward?TR1 combat is just circle strafing
