For anyone who doesn't know (as far as i'm aware) EVERY SINGLE male voice in TR2&3 is done by the same person Simon Greenall, best known as the Compare the Market Meerkat and Michael the geordie from Alan Partridge That's some AMAZING range
Back then when I was 12 years old I could never really say if the guy she met on the boat in the jungle was the one who tried to shoot her in Antarctica. I blame it on the two different styles of cinematics.
Eh, his voice was distinct enough. I was just shocked cuz he seemed like such a nice fella unlike the villains of the last two games who were so obviously evil.
@@henryhammond7393 Well, Natla at first just seemed to be employing Lara. So, she didn't come off as evil right away. Now, Bartoli right off the bat was known to be evil
@@henryhammond7393 Yeah I agree with you. Actually often in media businessmen are portrayed as selfish corporate overlords thirsty for money. Natla was no different
You can just hear in Lara's voice how done she was with lunatics hijacking her expeditions from the word go. Then Tony turns out to be another one and shes so pissed, she cant even make a snappy one-liner. "Your perception of good timing is.....BAD!"
lol i dont know why but I find the old in-game lara so cute for reason, just even when she does that flip/fall over at 5:17 its comical in a cute cartoon character way.
I still remember the tv spot where the scientist guy is like "new outfits!" and then theres like a fashion show w models wearing all Lara's clothes from the game ❤
Omg as a 12 year old in 1998 the final boss scared the shit out of me! Always panicking, sprinting down the path to each artefact, praying I don't overshoot because the evil spider shoots fire and kills me 😱
Willard looks so goofy with his big gloves and goggles Also love the part when Tony is just chillin on his raft and Lara opens fire like LOL this game was the first to really embrace being so... Cartoonish? You could say, I like that a lot about it
The music style in the first four Tomb Raider games is so good, the calm tunes and the typical TR tune instruments used for interludes. Sad it was slowly taken out more and more in later games.

@@Aspir7 Well, *technically* since they were part of Sofia's experiments, they'll probably just regenerate or something in a few days. After all, it was Bob who said, "...When I tried to take me own life, I found it just didn't work." But then again, who's counting? She did shoot them, so it can go both ways, I guess. The point I was trying to make anyway was Sofia's shock when Lara mentioned her "Past experiments."
@@YouDontKnowMeSoYouDontKnowJack yes, two! you need to take a close look at spidy-Willard… his second face is on his side. Also, one of his human hands is sticking out somewhere, but I don’t remember where exactly 😩
@DUDUDISCH Oh. My. Gosh. How, in over a quarter of a century, did I completely miss that hand? 😳 But even with dropping the playback speed, I still don't see another face other than the giant statue behind him on the right of the screen. I watched it 3 times and am missing it. I'll probably see it in another 25 years. 😵
@@DUDUDISCH Oh, I found the face. Had to go to a fan wiki. The reveal shot in the FMV doesn't show it because it's on the opposite side from the camera angle. And you're unlikely to see it when you're playing and running for your life! But thanks for letting me know about the hand and face. 1998 and I never knew about them until now. I wonder what else I haven't known about in the games.
There’s nothing wrong with wearing shorts. Her pants in 1-6 were actual shorts and not super skin tight. Which there’s nothing wrong with of course. She’s worn pants for many years.
The reason is that most people read lightly misspelled words correct. It has actually been proven in experiments when they sneak in three or four misspelled words into a text and ask a large group of people to read the text without telling them about the intentional errors. *Very few* people notice the words missing a letter or if a word having the letter combination "ie" is spelled "ei". The explanation for this is that people are focused on the *content* , the structure and the point being made. Nice spotted btw. I never caught it either.
19:30 That person: Just think, you wouldn't be needing those unsightly weapons anymore. Lara: No, but I'll probably have an unsightly face judging by your past experiments. Me: OOOOOOOOHHHHHHH That person: My what?! 19:44 Lara: All I want is the artifact. That person: Hahahaha! Right, in your next life... Me: DAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMNNNN
Знаете,что меня поражает? То что атмосфера настолько глубокая,что в современной Ларе даже и близко ничего схожего нет. Там обычная беготня и пустой неинтересный трёп. А здесь я чувствую загадку и опасность.
Yeah, it's poorly directed/animated. The characters in Metal Gear Solid 1 and Resident Evil 2 don't have mouth movements either, but the cutscenes in those games look better.
I was looking specifically for this in the remaster to see if they removed it. I'm surprised with the effort they made to censor Pierre's jacket in TR1 that they actually left that line in.
Who’s here after hearing about the remastered versions coming to ps5 . I remember these games like yesterday. They were so challenging. I still remember going to my friends and his stepdad getting frustrated because he couldn’t make his way out certain levels . He would take his frustration out on his stepson calling him an idiot and stupid ass for trying to help him . 😂 good times
Having grown up initially with the german dub of this game, I'll never understand how they decided to cast some of the VAs that sound so insanely different, but Tony's scene is way more impressive in german, since he actually yells and shouts more believably. Hearing him whisper "dieeeeeeeee~" here, instead of the way he SCREAMS it in german is hilarious.
17:00 Geordie Bob here is the reason 11 year old me though that Newcastle was a borough of London until I was 18 and made a friend who lived in Newcastle and shattered my world a little.
This looks how I remember it looking in 1998... I can't believe how bad the FMVs look on the Steam version. Like with certain CGI effects in films - I think CRTs helped disguise the shortcomings!
At least Lara admitted to having cannibalistic urges herself. But I think the biggest problem would be the levels themselves, which involves Lara (a white wealthy British woman) invading a native South Pacific village and randomly murdering a bunch of black people.
One question, GoldfishGam3r. Just curious, why haven’t you added English subtitles to this video, like you have done to your video with cutscenes from Tomb Raider 2? 🙂
@@Gonken88 youtube always ads slight compression and even though it is 1080 p still has some artifacts from compression. Anyways I was able to find some. Thanks for reply.
I might have found a way to record 4k videos on my regular 1080p monitor using Nvidia's SuperSampling feature, lets see how that works out. Hopefully I'll be able to do Tomb Raider 4 and 5 in 4k. If it goes well, I'll redo the videos I've done already to get the quality consistent.
If the source material isn't in HD let alone UHD - what point is there recording it in high resolution? Especially given the limited graphics of the time? You'll see every singe pixel. And besides, 99% of you will either watch this on your 5 inch smart phone screens or a laptop so the whole UHD resolution is indistinguishable from regular HD, or even SD for that matter. You need to have at least a 55 inch tv to see the difference of UHD over HD.
I remember coming home from primary school to this game i was super gassed too happiest times of my life playing all these tomb raider games 😃 one thing i didnt notice as a child is that the level high security compound all the inmates are men 🤣 surely if this was real life lara would have been incarcerated within a womens jail
Same here. I bought a used copy on eBay and I'm playing it on my old ps2. This was a game I never finished and what better time to finish it than during quarantine? This Lara is the best Lara.
They are "remastared" though, using Adobe After Effects. They aren't TRUE HD for obvious reasons, there were never any uncompressed files released to the public.
It's a good job, knowing the source files (not something we questioned at the time, but looking back, it's so weird there were FMVs in games with only every 2nd line of pixels actually showing video).
Even at the time i found tr3 too dark and more buggy than the previous games. The story was also badly presented... Lots of stuff unexplained. I found tr2 better. Oh and f*** these horrible london levels
The reason for the poor storyline is the designers at Eidos wanted to move onto a new project and they only had a year to complete the game. Any way they could find to say fuck you they would
That EIDOS and CORE intro is so nostalgic :)
I know right? Gives me goose bumps
Seriously!
Remember how we used to look at this and say, "Damn, the graphics looks so real"!!
I really do..
To be fair the graphics are good for its time
The graphics are still great imo. They just take some getting used to.
Yeah 😂
No lol
I really wish this game was remade with the modern graphics.
All the classics should be given a remaster tbh
Doesn't need it! xD
Yes, every single PS1 game should be remade with modern graphics, for PS4 or PS5. Especially this game.
@@jfsoloasjd even Dynasty Warriors? xD
The Retro Perspective Yep. 😉
Very mature Lara. We need this back!
For anyone who doesn't know (as far as i'm aware) EVERY SINGLE male voice in TR2&3 is done by the same person

The way the characters nod like crazy when speaking because of the lack of mouth animations, it would've looked so much better without the nodding.

How did we hear the pilot of the helicopter screaming when. He was already underwater
The cockpit hadn't completely filled with water yet. There would be an air bubble, so he wouldn't drown immediately.
11:14 Lara was being petty 😂😂
There needs to be a collection of original Tomb Raider games for modern consoles!
Your wish has been granted!
