  • The 14th video in this series is Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness, where I've put together as many Easter eggs, references, and anything you might not have known, even decades later.
    I've searched the internet and played through the entire game to validate each one the best I could. I can't take credit for a lot of these, I merely pooled together as many Easter Eggs into one video. Some entries may not be classed as anything of the above, but were included as a Point of Interest.

    Man, I could have watched hours more of this! I genuinely did not know most of these. There is so much personality in every corner of this game.

    AoD is a huge missed opportunity. There is a lot more into this game, like unused tutorial, unused locations and so on. I bet there would be more references in Such locations.
    Such a shame it all went bad. Since you could unlock some early AoD art in TRC, this means so much bad stuff happened in between 2000 and 2003.
    Its also a very controversial opinion, but imo AoD (or TR6) is in my opinion the last Tomb Raider. Sure, TR7 and Underworld still follow the Lara story, but already had changed too much imo. Basically I was ready for a jump from TR5 into next-gen TR6, but wasnt ready for the jump into TR7. Not to mention I would probably never accept the reboot.
    Fortunately old games are still alive thanks to TRLE. A home to many great TR Fan releases.

    • @SalopianGamer
      @SalopianGamer  2 роки тому +3

      Yeah, it definitely is a missed opportunity. I think it was part of a planned trilogy, before it all got scrapped. And then TR The Cradle of Life film was a huge let down. Both AOD developers AND the film makers started blaming each for their poor performance.

      I do agree that AoD is the last TR. The new ones are too different

    2003 is the most importnat year of gaming for me, I started collecting gaming magazines then and started getting knowledge about our industry. Freedom Fighter, Tomb Raider The Angel of Darkness, Lionheart, SIllent Hill 3...

    When you showed the Lara/Kurtis Louvre scene at the end it reminded me that if you play the game at 16:9 (or any widescreen) you'll see that Kurtis "enters" the scene behind Lara by coming out of the damn wall.

    Great video as always! Real shame how this game turned out. You can see the starts of what they were aiming for but had no time to finish. Really not sold on the idea of a second character though. That was a misstep.

    • @SalopianGamer
      @SalopianGamer  2 роки тому +2

    The garden area is a replica of a real garden in either Austria or Germany... can't remember.

      I'm not really sure what the graffiti says, djevan 41598, I think it's just a random building the developers liked the look of and put in the game.
