It was part of a trilogy of games in the x360/PS3 era - Legend, Anniversary and Underworld. Anniversary was originally DLC for Legend, but also got a standalone retail release. They heavily leaned into the QTE fad of the time, but were a good reboot of the franchise after Angel of Darkness, but then got surpassed by the next rebooted trilogy of TR/Rise/Shadow.
I'd be game for that. Legend could definitely use it. It's fairly unstable on PC these days. And Underworld needs a better camera. But otherwise these are still pretty fun games.
I would settle for a version that looks the same runs properly on modern computers and resolutions and doesn't crash all the time. The 2004 version was a buggy mess when it came out and it's much worse now. It's from that awkward era of DirectX/Windows XP games before MS had figured out gaming. I don't really understand why someone hasn't cloned it properly yet. There are a lot of cheap garbage imitation versions, but nothing that actually managed to get what made the originals work.
It's weird. The more modern the game is the smaller Lara's breasts become. It's like they all decided the Frist games where sexist and decided to just keep shrinking her breasts to make it less sexist
Same happened with Tifa in FF7 as well. I think part of that appears to be low poly models needed to be obvious on a CRT screen. So proportions were a bit cartoonish just to get the point across.
Hey, pointy boob Lara saved like 6 polygons versus square boob Tifa.
There is a buff Tifa mod for the new FF7, if you prefer a body builder look.
I understand what you are getting at as it's a common thing in comics to make inflate certain parts of the body to make the figure look more masculine or feminine. In the case of FF7 you had Aeris and Yuffie clearly looking female without the problems about proportions
The entire reason that she had a huge chest in the first game is because the devs weren't sold on her appearance. Then one of the designers expanded her chest to what would become the final version, and that resulted in the interest level rising dramatically.
She was established as having a certain body type.. Once shes known for that, any game like the new tomb raider ones don;t quite feel like the same character.
So Bobbie Draper. I approve that choice.
I remember a friend saying, 'jeeze, you could poke an eye out on those!' when he saw the box. But that also taught me the value of representation in gaming for women, because we had a whole gaggle of early teenage girls gathered around that game for multiple days. They were very impressed, even while I was rolling my eyes at the ludicrous packaging.
No, the 2004 version is a Windows game. And like I said, even on era appropriate hardware running XP it wasn't very stable. It's by far the buggiest Firaxis game I have ever played.
I meant something like this GoG version, which I'm pretty sure is the original DOS version? Which probably is "a version that looks the same runs properly on modern computers and resolutions and doesn't crash all the time". (At least for 1987 values of "looks the same"...)
I was never able to get into the old ones, I didn't play them growing up, so the old janky graphics and controls hold no nostalgia for me.
MAYBE I'll use one if I've got at least a hundred, otherwise my supplies might be getting too low.
But if I use it now, there might be a harder boss fight later where I'd want to have it! So I must not use it for this boss fight.
