Re: [Audyssey] Tomb Raider and Open Source Ideas
Hi Shaun, Actually, they produced two movies in the Tomb Raider series, but as expected with the movies they didn't stick 100% to the game series story line. Though the movies were reasonable for true TR fans. Throughout the 6 original TR games there is a progressive story going on, and each game in the series adds to the story. In the first one it is a bit of an introduction to Lara Croft, and primarily is a treasure hunting game. The second one is more combat oriented while still retaining the treasure hunting feel. Number three Lara returns hunting for a lost medior which has mystical powers. In number four gets really into the story of Lara Croft, Von Croy, and into Egyptian history and lore. Number 5, Chronicals, everyone thinks Lara was killed in Egypt and the game takes on a dream like or reflective quality where you get to play four different adventures. In number6, Angel of Darkness, Lara Croft finds Von Croy at his apartment in Paris, but a gang murders him, and frames Lara Croft for the crime. As you go along you find out it was all over some valuable paintings which you as lara Croft must find and recover while bagging the real murderers of Von Croy, and clear your name. The Anniversary collection game is just a remake of number 1 with some extra goodies, better graphics, sounds, etc thrown in to make it a better game. shaun everiss wrote: well sounds good.

At the time I felt I shouldn't get involved with a direct clone do to copyrights, but I've reconsidered, and have thought of a possible plan to do it. First, most of the companies holding copyrights tend to go after companies and individuals which make a derivative work based on a specific trade mark or product, and then attempt to sell it.However, companies tend to leave general fan fiction alone when the person or persons are doing it for free, and don't try and market or publicize their work. Which is where a free and open source project might come in to play. My thoughts are once I clear my schedule of the current projects, such as Monty, I could begin work on a free and open source 3D game engine that we could use to recreate some of our favorite sighted games that have legal restrictions attached to them. Obviously, the trade marks, sounds, characters, are all legally owned by their companies, but if we write the games as fan fiction without selling the works we might have a chanse of pulling this off. Second, I've been a fan of Tomb Raider for a long time, and I'd be interested to know if you have any requests as to which of the 6 games you would like me to begin with. I'm personally thinking of starting with Angel of Darkness just because I don't have the original game sounds, but the sounds in that game are pretty common sounds to come across such as: rain, elevators, punching, kicking, cemmi-automatics, elivators, wild dogs, and hundreds of other generic day to day sounds I can pick up, and make the USA Games version as near to the original as humanly possable. The music, fmv sequences and cut scenes are also easy to come by. Finally, Angel of Darkness didn't offer as many puzzles as earlier games where you spent allot of time solving puzzles. Though, I can say as far as the best game to actually play for shear fun value would have to be Last Revelation. In TRLR Lara Croft is searching for the amulet and armour of horus. Not surprisingly Von Croy is also looking for those items, they try to knock Lara off, and the evil Egyptian God Set returns for a final battle, but is no match for Lara Croft.

To be honest with you after number 4 the TR story lines and games have been going down hill to one degree or another. I didn't like Chronicals as much just because the plot took on a dream like past quality where you got to revisit some of Lara's past adventures with the entire idea being Lara died in Last Revelation which really didn't happen. Then Angel of Darkness took a dramatic story line shift, and it was less about puzzle solving and treasure hunting and became more about action and adventure as Lara tries to clear her name for the murder of Von Croy. I liked the games action etc, but missed the tomb hunting qualities we saw in1-4. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

I'm personally thinking of starting with Angel of Darkness just because I don't have the original game sounds, but the sounds in that game are pretty common sounds to come across such as: rain, elevators, punching, kicking, cemmi-automatics, elivators, wild dogs, and hundreds of other generic day to day sounds I can pick up, and make the USA Games version as near to the original as humanly possable. The music, fmv sequences and cut scenes are also easy to come by. Finally, Angel of Darkness didn't offer as many puzzles as earlier games where you spent allot of time solving puzzles. Though, I can say as far as the best game to actually play for shear fun value would have to be Last Revelation. In TRLR Lara Croft is searching for the amulet and armour of horus. Not surprisingly Von Croy is also looking for those items, they try to knock Lara off, and the evil Egyptian God Set returns for a final battle, but is no match for Lara Croft. Anyone have any suggestions, thoughts, or input about this idea? --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.
