For those who are still interested in the fate of OpenLara and my other projects, they are on hold. For the past year I've been busy with a dream project that has become the culmination of the last 8 years of my life - Tomb Raider I-III Remastered. (1/4)

@nukeykt thanks for this! youtu.be/E4dZzJFroAY

@FrLi_Marcos @NoSoloBits hm, N-Gage has 104 MHz, GBA 16 MHz... obviously is the wrong word ;)

@NoSoloBits Tomb Raider was ported to the N-Gage, so a GBA port was obviously possible. I remember playing Monkey Ball on N-Gage, and the GBA port was very similar.

Impressive port of Tomb Raider (OpenLara engine) on the GBA.

@s_ethaustin @AIspyrMedia @EPH_00 it communicates at least ;)

@AIspyrMedia @EPH_00 Guys this is not the real Aspyr account

I don’t get your complaints concerning the main menu music We knew you love the main menu themes, so we decided it was an excellent idea to make you play the whole game with the music looping 24h/7 until you until you hate it so much that you grab your console and throw it out

@LaraRemaster @LaraCroftFrance @playeroldskool as a true Konrad fan, you probably know that he's behind the latest LoK: Defiance remaster

@LaraCroftFrance @playeroldskool @XProger_san Konrad was fired

EN | 🙅‍♂️ | The original developers of #TombRaider I-II-III Remastered are starting to speak out. Giovanni Lucca (@playeroldskool) and XProger (@XProger_san) have clarified that no Saber developers worked on the latest Challenge Mode update.

@exQUIZitely @RetroGamerBB

@exQUIZitely back in 2022, I planned to port Descent to 3DO, but after a brief bit of research, I realized that no one would play on such a franken-gamepad %)

Descent II is widely considered the best of the three main Descent games (Descent 1 in 1995, Descent II in 1996, and Descent 3 in 1999). One of its most impactful additions was the Guide-Bot, which helped players navigate the maze-like mines. It also had the best soundtrack and the strongest single-player mode of the three. The original Descent innovated with its six degrees of freedom, and Descent III had the best graphics, but neither matched the immersion and “feel” that Descent II achieved. Fun fact: The Omega Cannon was so frame-rate dependent and network-flooding that it was universally banned from competitive multiplayer games to prevent server crashes. Also, escaping the mine after the self-destruct sequence was activated still triggers PTSD…

@JadenOfAtlantis you're clearly unlucky at bingo ;)

📝 Patch 5 Wishlist: •60 fps for OG graphics like 4-6 •Brightness scale like 4-6 •Slide-to-Run animation like 4-6 •Ledge backflip like 4-6 •Cleaned up/removed AI textures •Modern controls update •LAU, Survivor, and Unified outfits •More rounded/detailed environments

@xIWanderlustIx @LaraCroftsSoul @tombraider but damn, leaving aside the technical details, even 4k resolution for these outfits wouldn't make them part of TR %)

@xIWanderlustIx @LaraCroftsSoul @tombraider idk, TRX2 has better system, outfits won't reload each time and don't require their runtime conversion of vertex data (I see what bastards did in the RenderDoc), so it can handle more highres outfits out of the box, seems like they didn't have the access to the code/brains

I’m sorry but Lara deserves better. This is utterly atrocious quality and a huge drop from what Konrad did. @tombraider 💀 Lara deserves better than this.

@LaraRemaster @nicolasfrcts

@nicolasfrcts But who ask for it? Nobody

I'm short on time, and you're telling me that Tomb Raider I-III Remastered is now available on mobile? That's news that makes me so happy and excited at the same time. No more need for consoles or PCs, and the UI is beautiful. Time to share them one last time here 💚🩵🤎

@LaraCroftsSoul @tombraider during development, we were fighting "windmills" every day, it was exhausting and wasted precious time, but now there is no one to fight, they have found the same uninspired incompetents as they always were.

@XProger_san @tombraider LMFAO LITERALLY! When the remasters were under your management, you delivered exceptional quality mr. Timur, especially with our beloved TR4. I’m honestly shocked they went for whoever the hell delivered this total disaster. 🤦‍♂️

Hey folks, just to clarify. I was not involved in the art direction of this new patch with the Challenge Mode for Tomb Raider I-II-III Remastered. Nome of the original developers at Saber was involvement in it.

@LudarkTomb @infinityTRaider @SteamDB I hope you understand my answer now

@LudarkTomb @infinityTRaider @SteamDB

There still hasn’t been any significant update since the brief leak of the new "CR" achievements, but Tomb Raider I-II-III Remastered has continued to receive internal updates since then (via @SteamDB) Do you think there’ll be something for February 14th?

There was a demoscene group called Triton, with their most notable demo being Into the Shadows, showcasing impressive 3D rendering a year before Quake. Unfortunatelly it never came to fruition, Triton members later formed Starbreeze, responsible for Riddick and The Darkness 1

@ClassicREbirth btw, they didn't use multipart character sprites on PS1, but seems like at some point they used this to optimize memory usage, so the heads of some characters look static. Here is the comparison for Jax (Arcade vs PS1)

This editor is gonna come in handy soon enough and for possible console exports. #MortalKombat2

@swiftdasher @greayson2532 @MoonPieDreams @HatStackMike @MidlifeCrysis_ @TwinzDynamic @duke_unreal @bandicootbill07 @SEGAkatana @GregMathews1 when loading, the game calcs the visibility of each object from each segment of the track. By pre-calc this the loading will be faster. Disabling tracks data compression will also improve the loading time.

@greayson2532 @MoonPieDreams @HatStackMike @MidlifeCrysis_ @XProger_san @TwinzDynamic @duke_unreal @bandicootbill07 @SEGAkatana @GregMathews1 With all the improvements the fan scene is making to various Saturn games, I wonder if, combined with the Saroo loading speeds, someone is going to have a crack at improving this.

Wipeout Sega Saturn🪐 at 20FPS but even so it feels faster and more responsive offering a more agile gaming experience and greater immersion when controlling the ship More precise controls Without a doubt, the work Psygnosis It moves very well In #SegaSaturn #Sega #wipeout

@ClassicREbirth @Croftling surprised? )

@XProger_san @Croftling Ohhhh, that.

I GOT IT WORKING OMG

@ClassicREbirth @Croftling they released GOG patches for both TRX including pdb's ;)

@XProger_san @Croftling Wait, what did I miss? 😮

@ClassicREbirth MK3 source for PS1/PC was a conversion from TMS assembler %)

The asm to C conversion is still rough in a lot of spots, but the overall result of the attract mode isn't too bad, just shoddy in spots that need further refinement. #MortalKombat2
