- Welcome to my first EVER playthrough of TOMB RAIDER - the originals.
Tomb Raider was one of, if not THE first game that I've ever seen, watching my father play it on PC when I was little, sitting on his lap together with my brother. I was excited to have a good excuse to finally play these games myself with the release of the Remaster!
In 2022 I played the three newest Tomb Raider games, but I always preferred the iconic look of the OGs - the red glasses, two pistols and the long braid.
Join me on my adventure through ancient ruins for the hunt of old artifacts and lot's of action!

Welcome to my first ever playthrough of TOMB RAiDER I-III
Lizz excellent playthrough keep up the good work and you are playing better than me and I didn’t play these games in years when it came out and I can’t wait to see more continues parts from you ❤😮
Love it
@@mod7930 so far I love it. About half way done with TR1
Mein Vater hat die Originale auch gezockt. Das erste damals noch auf dem Sega Saturn. Er kriegt dieses zum Geburtstag. Weiß er nur noch nicht. ^^
@@LIZZgame You should try with the older tank controls. You cant do a lot of the moves the old system gave you while in combat or out of it with the new control scheme. The platforming and jumps becomes super easy too
Tomb Raider is a corner stone of 90s gaming. Lara is one of THE Female Icons of gaming.
exactly!!! It was damn time I play it - so far I am IN LOVE with it! Soo excited to play more today!
@@LIZZgame Youll notice that Tomb Raider was the proto Uncharted. While Uncharted was more action and setpieces, which the New TRs that you played take inspiration from, the OG Tomb Raider was about the world building and the puzzles.
So true. This was on the cusp of 3D worlds in gaming. We were entering a new world.
In general the technological jumps and acceleration in graphical power was incredible from about '95 to 2010.
Since then it's mostly been improvements in detail, textures and lighting. And now ray tracing.
But the core look of games isn't far off from a game like The Last of Us which is over 10 years old now.
Point I'm making is that it was a peak time to be a gamer. The medium was literally developing in front of us every year or two.
Icon period if i'm being honest
@@memnarch129 'One of'? She's THE female ICON of GAMING!!!!!!!!
I was born in 1970.
I lived through the revolution from 2d to 3d animation and the rise of www.
In 1996, when I was 26 years old I gave my daughter the first tomb raider game on ps1.
It was magical.
I fell in love with this form of (adventious gaming) entertainment,
😂😊
Wow this is nostalgic for me and so much fun to se the new generations play what was considered a huge breakthrough in technology.
🎉
I was born 1970 also I also lived the transition of 2D to 3D when games also moved from game cartridges to Cd format with the Sega Saturn and the PlayStation, I was 26 and bought tomb raider at launch in 1996 didn't know anything about the game, always loved the adventure games, nowadays games hold your hand not like years ago. Very nostalgic indeed shows how much has changed in terms of technology. My favourite is TR2 spent many nights playing trying to get to next level on my bit CRT Alba TV 😎
I'm 1973, first play in 1998, February, it's was amazing!
@@Homer73Simpson great gaming times in the 90s when I bought tomb raider 3 in 1998 I qued up for it being really excited to take home to play on the PlayStation
Wow, that was heartwarming ❤
Same here, 1971. As a veteran of the Speccy 48k, C64, and Amiga, when the Playstation came out and I played this, it was the start of a whole new era in gaming. When the T-rex suddenly appears out of the fog is one of gamings all time iconic moments...
The thing about the classic Tomb Raider games is that all of the levels were built on a 3D grid system.Every element of the game fits into one of the (invisible) cubes in the grid, and the controls were designed to let you effectively navigate those levels. It wasn't so much a platform game as a giant 3D puzzle.
Walking up to the edge and then jumping back, would move you back exactly one square, which is exactly how much room you need for a running jump. Then, you didn't have to worry about timing your jump to be right on the edge, you just started running forward and immediately pressed the jump button. Lara would jump right at the edge, because it always took her exactly one square of running before she could jump. Each jump would always cover a fixed distance as well, so you always knew how far you could jump.
Often, a ledge would be too high to just jump off without taking damage, but if you hung from the edge and then dropped down, you'd do it safely, or at least take less damage. This was done by facing away from the ledge, jumping back and holding the action button, so she grabbed the edge, then you could drop from there. I think someone said they added a new control to do that for the modern controls.
I love how u explained the grid system 😊 It's what made me fall in love with this generation of Tomb Raider 🥰
@@sascara9981 Thank you. At one time, I used to know all the tricks, like exactly how far up a standing forward jump would take you, how to drop backwards off one platform and land on the one directly below you, how to intentionally cancel a grab in mid-air so you land on a lower platform, etc. I never was very good at doing the corner bug though, unless I was standing on a ledge so there was nowhere for her to go.
Things changed in TR3 with the updated engine which had half squares (triangles) and the ability to change the degrees of the floor. They even had instances where you had to jump diagonaly and mid air change lara's direction in order to grab a ledge. That was done in TR2 but way less frequent. TR3 had some really unpredictable grid scenarios. Thats why i love it more now that i came back to it again through Remastered series. (And yet i play old graphics as i appreciate the lighting and shadows more).
@@kostishasopoulos9816 TR4 had the most puzzles. Plus it was the longest TR game of the OG games. TR3 was the absolute hardest of all of them. Dont see how so many people enjoyed it. Thats why i loved TR2 the most. Its just the more likable game. Then followed by TR4. As for TR5, It was MEHH. It wasnt a popular game to begin with.
That’s such a sweet memory of watching your dad play this game when it first came out. I’m enjoying watching you play through this!
Bro, that moment with the T-Rex was GOLD!
that thing scared the living hell out of me hahahah
This a classic game right here
Wow. I played these as a child on the PlayStation One. Major nostalgia.
I had a similar experience watching my dad play tomb raider when I was a little kid
I am honored to meet the one and only LIZZ CROFT. You are a famous explorer and archaeologist and I know you are going to do great things for the discovery of the world.
Y'all simps are sad and too many free time on your hands.
First timer eh! It's good to hear that more people are still experiencing what veteran Tomb Raider fans experienced long ago.
Yes. I love it so much!
@@LIZZgame you're so pretty hot and so cute and mmmm and so beautiful Lizz and esp love you looking like Lara Croft with your hair and youre so great with this playthrough and this game is relentless and amazing lol and your playthrough funny every time you get surprised and have your cute adorable smile and laugh
I'd seriously recommend learning tank controls for this game. Being able to backflip onto ledges can be a real time (and indeed, life) saver. I grew up with the original at 14 and tank controls were all we knew of TR. I've actually not found it too difficult switching back and forth, but the classic games rely more on your precision rather than any assistance. Just a suggestion.
Yup, alot of people don't realize that the game is grid based in terms of its movement. The 3d controls make it to imprecise.
I die a little inside seeing people choose “modern” controls.
They’re not really modern when they don’t function as they would in a modern designed game. It would be like adding tank controls to Uncharted. It just doesn’t make sense to do that.
This, this, this. The classic controls are seriously one of the most underrated aspects of these games. Once you get a feel for the classic controls and how Lara interacts with the world you wouldn't want them any other way. They are made to be extremely precise and the gameplay seems very much molded around how she moves. The "Tank" control name almost feels like slander at this point, no idea why they would literally call them that in the menu rather than just "classic".
@@DocDarkness I'd be curious to see how people get secrets like the magnum room in Colosseum that's a door requiring side and backflips to reach it in time. Having said that you could try with guns drawn,but it seems a little stupid only being able to do flips in that way.
@@phyein4815 It is so damned hard trying a lot of these precise leaps and grabs with modern controls. The timing is far more difficult than it should be, and I would seriously lose my mind trying to control her like that throughout the game, and likely getting killed every five or ten minutes. I can manage modern controls in the new games, and it's easy enough going back to these ones, but it's about suitability. Honestly, half an hour like that was more than enough for me. The only slight way I can see around it is by developing patches or something, but I honestly can't see how it'll work in practice unless the level design is changed. It wouldn't work with ANY of the five original games from what I can tell, they all utilise the same design and physics.
Your alot better than most players that have never played this .
Didn't have streaming back in the day. You should see me playing TR1 for the fisrt time on Dreamcast in 96. I was 13 at the time and had no trouble finishing it.
I am a massive Tomb Raider fan so watching a genuine first-time playthrough like this is soo awesome!🤩 you don't fully know what to do and where to go (and in what order) and make 'mistakes' (which are totally understandable and I made as well when I first played these games in the 90s) but exactly that makes seeing you gradually figure stuff out over time such good fun!🥰 I'm glad you got adjusted to the classic TR games relatively quickly and did not get really frustrated (or even give up) - on the contrary even, you really seemed to have a great time: as a TR fan this definitely warmed my heart💜
I played TR 1-3 + DLC and then also Anniversary, Legend and Underworld. I think it's save to say, I loved these games a lot. Thanks for watching!
@@LIZZgame That's awesome! This meant you got the TR virus as well - I got it once and it never left me, so be warned😂 yeah I don't think I have to worry that I run out of videos to watch soon, great!😁🥰
I keep getting all these different channels recommended in my TH-cam feed of different people playing this game. It's so much to watch all these streamers play these games. I've been more entertained watching streamers play them than playing them myself.
Hey LIZZ, happy to see it now here too and I am ready to see more in your streams thses days. Thank you for playing🥰🥰👍👍
Lol if you had not skipped number 3 in Laras house training gym it would of saved you so much hassel haha....nice playthrough tho.....this was the first consol (ps1) and game i ever bought myself whilst on my first job after leaving school....i spent hours with my mum watching and giving advice and screaming and laughing with this game....brings back happy memories...love the Tomb Raider series...specially the first 3 😁
Love this playthrough so much. Brings back memories. Cosplay needs to happen!
I like your sense of humor and reactions to things. You're entertaining. I'm glad you like the OG game as well. Pure classic.
50:14 And this area is where tank controls are king :)
The beauty with the tank controls is that not only is it perfect for super precise platforming, but it also eliminates the need to ever worry about the camera while moving. You only need to use the look button to see what is in front of you, and then after that you can do the whole thing blind if you wanted to because it's so predicable. This was really key back then when you didn't have analog sticks to move and control the camera at the same time, its a really smart system.
I see you got lots more played already so look forward to see how you tackle later areas, and if you try out the tank controls at some point. :) Really enjoyable playthrough so far! :)
I played the game to the end, started TR2. I'm still learning of course, and sometimes Modern Controls can be a b*tch, but I had NO problems with the platforming in the end of TR1
@@LIZZgame That's really good to hear that the new controls seem to work well :) I tried them myself and my brain just completely noped-out, the old controls are just a part of my DNA I think haha.
@@SuperRetroPolygons if you have played the OGs with the tank controls back then, it's only natural I'd say.
First-timer here too, DAMN is it good to see that I'm not the only one who struggled BIG TIME in those Vilcabamba ledge jumps XD
hej, welcome in!
I had to learn the mechanics first, the grid system AND the button combos. But now I'm almost unstoppable
how far are you with your games?
@@LIZZgame I'm still in the first game, just started the Natla mines section!
A good relaxing tip: Common natural instinct usually when we play shooter games is that we tend to tap the shoot button repeatedly. There's no need to tap all the time, Lara still keeps shooting as long as you press and hold the shoot button❤. Saves you from making your fingers sore.
Holding the shoot button also helps in locking your auto-aim in one target only, if you want to kill the enemies one by one.
That goes for every move, hold the button until she does it. She does it infinitely however, so also remember to release the button!
Actually you could shoot the pistols faster by rapidly mashing the button. This technique helped keep battles against other humans with guns easier
Just wanted to say, I’m so glad I found your video! It’s so fun watching someone new to the series experience it for the first time ☺️ this is why I’m so happy remastered came out!
Welcome in!! Thanks for watching, glad you enjoy it
Honestly I love watching somone play this and discover everything for the very first time. I hope you like the game as much as me.
Finished it yesterday, LOVED it!
@@LIZZgame awesome! Can't wait to finish watching!
54:27 the jump scares are real 😂
I still remember being terrified when I came across things like this as a young teenager. It was so surreal and visceral to finally be placed in a 3D environment and combat aggressive “monsters” in real time 😅
I remember my first scary games.. Can relate!
Glad you exist and I get to watch
One of my all time fave games, what a joy to see someone experience it for the first time!
I played this game in '99 when i was 14. Now i play this remastered version. The sensation remain unchanged. This is one of the best games in the history.
This takes me back to a happier time, thanks for this ♥
Glad you enjoy it!
The nostalgia is killing me 😢
Just one thing… if you’re not cartwheeling while you’re shooting, you’re not playing it properly 😜 😂
Great to see you playing this! Thank you for sharing with us. I hope you have a great time with it. I’m going to have a great time reliving my childhood 😊
It's an aerial.
this is my new favorite youtube channel, i will watch all your Tomb Raider series. I just subscribe.
Just found your channel because of this playthrough and I really like your playstyle! :D Can't wait for you to play the second one (my favorite)!
Omg the nostalgia 😭 i need to buy this. TR Lara Croft gaming icon was born ❤
Yay finally found someone who has Never played this Game love Genuine first players!
And Atlast someone who Dosent put there whole face on the screen.
I'm so glad 🎉🎉🎉🎉
but... my whole face is on screen lol
LiZZ is funny gamer and amazing entertainer its really enjoyable to watch TR1 gaming 😊
awesome gameplay !! use to watch my mum when i was a kid .. love the games :] top fav ...
cool mum!!
The thing about the modern controls is that it doesn't allow Lara to do her fancy looping jumps when you would jump sideways or backwards, instead she just jumps forward in that direction. Now that is not a big deal anyway, but when it comes to do a running jump, it kinda gets tricky, because the modern controls also prevent her from stepping backwards to have the perfect distance for a running jump. But you seem to get along just fine so far. Very interesting to see people trying through this game for the first time and you're funny too😊
no, you CAN do these jumps still. It's just a bit trickier to perform.
Tutaj zaczyna się cudowna przygoda 🙂
Pełna humoru!
Pełna przygody!
Pełna Uśmiechu Twojego!
Po prostu LIZZ CROFT !!!
Pozdrawiam Serdecznie 🌹
Lizz, I’m so happy that your channel randomly popped up on my feed!! The Tomb Raider games I’ve played are Chronicles, The Last Revelation, Angel of Darkness, Legend, Anniversary, and all 3 reboots. I too am also a first time player of the original trilogies (surprisingly lol), and seeing your first time play through has been fun lol. I can’t wait to check out more of your other gameplays of the Remasters here soon! 🎉
Welcome in Camille! Glad to hear you enjoy my video. Thanks for watching!
Yes!! Thank you! You're doing great btw too! 😊
I bought the remaster too, brings back memories of me and my nan racing each other on the PC version to see who could complete the games first (yes, my nan 😂, she really liked Tomb Raider, she was in her 60's back then, I told her when I got the remasters for the PlayStation, now at nearly 90 she's going to buy the remasters for PC 😂)
that is SO COOL! Best nan out there!
@LIZZgame whenever I tell people that it usually surprises them, we did that from 1-4, she beat me on 1&4, I beat her on 2&3, she was a cool nan, still is 😀
I've already watched some of your later TR videos, but I think I'll start over from the beginning and watch the whole series (not all in one day). Should be great fun.
hope you'll enjoy! And welcome in :)
Tomb Raider music was fantastic !
Agree!
First time viewer 👋🏼 Only 15 mins in, your fantastic to watch 😊
Played this when it came out with my Dad also x
Omg thank you so much!!
And welcome in
I love the background ambience sound effects in these games!
me too!
@@LIZZgameyou can do quite a lot of acrobatics in this, like somersaults in mid air using jump and roll button, swan dive into water, jumping backwards side to side, etc. look forward see you play TR 2 too! I’d probably buy it myself if it also includes the Golden Mask expansion!
Most people have probably heard the expression "run and gun". Lara made "flip and gun" popular. 🙂 I remember making her jump around like a bouncing ball (in areas which permitted wildly hopping about, of course) as my preferred mode of combat. Lara's quick-rolling ability was also a very useful tool.
In the UK, we called 'run and gun' 'platform shoot 'em ups'.
I love how back in the old days I have to figure out accidently that holding the walking button whilst climbing up to anything will cause Lara to pull off a skillful flip climb lol and jumping whilst holding the down arrow really fast, would flip opposite when jumping forward or backwards.
Having watched your performance through this first installment I have just two things to say. First "Wrong Lever Kronk!". Second "All I remember of these games is the sheer frustration of trying to get them to jump when you want. God speed."
I remember killing the t rex by jumping into the waterfalls and using the caves to snipe it with the shotgun. Such a great game of hide and seek back then. Terrifying😅
"sniping" and "shotgun" just sounds wrong together
@@LIZZgame 😁with a T Rex sized target and a shotgun I can be quite the marksman
@@Calm1ty LOL 😂 that's not what I meant. Usually in games, the farther the target, the less damage the shotgun makes. So I use Shotguns only in close range.
Good to see a new player play these remastered games; but its also fustraiting at the same time lol. Looking forward to watching more levels as you play.
because I miss the things those who played the games dozens of times already know are there?
@@LIZZgame A little yes, but also I don't normally watch people play games lol. When my partner plays, iI'm always wanting to play it also - back seat driver.
Hello! New here!
Here are some tips about the modern controls:
If you run towards an edge, but you want to grab it, not falling , keep action pressed. (left click on PC) She will grab the ledges and not fall. The walk button will stop her at the edge, but this way she won t grab it. This tip is for dropping from huge heights in order to not take damage. Just simply falling forword will cost you more health.
2. If you want to just jump from the position you are, stay still, press jump first, then the direction you want to jump ( mostly forword for the modern controls)
If you want to perform a RUNNING JUMP (for bigger gaps), you have to run TWO step before she will perform a jump, otherwise it's not a running jump. That s why she, sometimes, keeps falling and you believe she does not respond to the jump button. Just because she doesn't have enough space to performe those two jumps. If you don't actually have the space to perform the two steps running, you could do the following trick to perform it in a smaller space. Here it is what you have to do:
1. Walk forword keeping the walk button pressed for one step or so
2. release it and press jum immediately. This way she will perform a running jump without those two steps that require one grid of running.
I saw that sometimes you're exactly near the edge of a ledge wanting to perform a jump from that position, but Lara falls. That's because you press forword first then jump. Just switch the order and she won't fall.
Sometimes I press the look button to go inside and then outaide the look mode to reset the camera angle when camera gets crazy.
To understant the momentum of her running jump, just perform a run with multiple jumps to see how she won't actually perform jump after jump. She will need to run two steps between the continuous jumps. Not like these days games when the character jumps instantly when you press the button even thought the character has a weird poaition of the feet. Sorry for the weird way of talking, I'm not a native speaker 🤣. Keep it up! You're awesome!
Btw. Try camera mode. You can explore like that some places rapidly or "unreachebel" to see if there s any pickup.
I figured some of these things out in Part 2, it'll be out tonight :) Thanks for these tips!
@@LIZZgame Cool! Can't wait! 🤍
@@cosmina.m.7570 Yes, but this is the same as using a cheat code to "fly", so don't pat yourself on the back about it. Exploring and figuring out how to reach places is the whole point of this game.
@@paintedjaguar Indeed. I finished those games many times without cheating, so I know everything about them. Now I just use the camera mode sometimes just for fun. So I don't pat myself on the back! 🤡
Very funny and cute how you react of some different things in the game. 😅 camera goes wheee 😂😂 subscribed and greetings from Germany 😌
Haha, thanks!
And greetings from Switzerland from a (fellow?) German!
@@LIZZgame ohhh switzerland, that's closer than I would have thought…you spoke without a perceptible accent 😬 so hello neighbor 🙋🏼♂️
I absolutely love how they approached the remake. No fancy next gen graphics but exactly how my brain remembered it, playing it as a kid. While the actual graphics look crappy af. They've even kept those huge...temples. I love temples ❤
Great play thru Lizzy, I seem to remember the T Rex being reaaaaally difficult when I played thru all those years ago ! I'm 65 this year and still do more gaming than tv & movies ! Why oh why can't we have a remake of 'Revelation'. It would be amazing with modern graphics ? Looking forwards to part 2, thank you for a great upload Lizzy.
never played those games, but they're on my radar now. Loving TR so so much!
@@LIZZgame tombraider Revelation was 4th in the Lara series.
The original, it kicked off in earnest the 3D movement in gaming. This is the first game I played way back then that other people actually sat and were entertained watching.
I can see why! Such a nice franchise! I am just done with my 2.5 month long binge. 6 games!
Nice Gameplay. 😃👍.
Also when you do a running jump it’s grid based, so she runs for one grid before she jumps, so you gotta leave at least that much space, otherwise fall off edge lol. Pressing backwards makes Lara go back one square grid, etc. It’s easy once you know how it all works🙂
Great video :D you look like Lara Croft ;D
I played all of there back in the day,and yes to play these now are very hard compared to games today.I struggled with those jumping platforms today but I did get the shotgun.
For modern controls, I just watched a video that suggested you map view button to R1. That changed everything.
Before that, I was swapping back and forth.
Also, to take a step back, tap R1 once to entree view. Hold back on L1 and tap R1 again.
This will make Laura hop back.
Also, use walk/□ or R2 to keep from falling off edges.
I just got done trying it out, and it all worked pretty well.
I have a special controller, I remapped the [R3] button to some extra buttons that are easy to reach. I HATE pressing the sticks lol
I love this videos
Modern controls makes it difficult to perform a running jump between ledges. Lara requires a square's worth of running start, and that is easily gauges by performing a backward hop, but modern controls don't have the backward hop because you always move in that direction.
1st game I've ever played on my PS1 back in the day!
Ohh nice!
Same for me 😊 It‘s really a nostalgia trip, but I‘m also really struggeling with the controls 😅
Been playing with tank controls and it still as I remembered playing 25 years ago! 😮
@@LIZZgame it was Lara croft's birthday
Modern controls have definitely been an issue during my playthrough because of the camera, it can also screw up your jumps. That's just me though, I switched back to classic tank controls.
Best way to play it man. These games were designed for tank controls, regardless of the inclusion of modern ones here. I might play it through with modern controls afterwards for a new challenge, but I'm worried it'll spoil my enjoyment of the games with the camera and the lack of back flipping unless shooting.
Oh, is the camera only messed up with the modern controls? That looked horrible. The tank controls are superior, anyhow. All they needed to do was allow players to increase the turn speed via the menu.
@@Jay_Sullivan yeah, it works as intended without the modern controls. they honestly make the game 80% worse lol, they shouldn't have included them as they havent implemented them well at all. It just doesnt work with the new controls
@@Jay_Sullivanthe camera has a few issues in the tank controls, but the controls were designed so that it doesn’t matter as much. (As long as you use the d-pad as it was also designed for, the analog sticks weren’t a thing yet for PS).
Each movement input has a set result. There’s no variation as long as you do the proper setup. Which while using the look button, d-pad and tank controls works really really well.
Can’t see in front of you? Who cares you just push forward and input whatever jump is necessary for the gap and grab where necessary. Pushing up won’t make you fall off when the camera moves because the controls are locked to how Lara is facing. That’s why it works.
Tank controls take some getting used to, especially if you’ve never played anything like it before, but they are imo the only way to play these games. They’re not bad either. People just give up too quickly.
Lara sets up all her jumps in tank controls. Tap back and you are now the perfect distance for a running jump for example.
“Are bats friendly?” 😂 “no they’re not” 😂 they get even worse!
god they are the WORST haha
I can't wait to play this tomorrow 😍
Let's go!
Heres a tip:
You can keep shooting while spamming jump, you can jump backwards and keep shooting, jump sideways or forward while keep pressing shoot button. It helps so much, fir example with the Trex you can let her face him and lock on, leaving the guns out and keep on pressing shoot and to avoid him touching you keep on jumping backwards while you still shoot him and aim forward.
technically I know I can do that, but when I try, she's mostly turning and then jumping to the side, not doing a side flip. :(
Your my favorite person on TH-cam ❤❤❤😊
I had this preordered for awhile, just wish they would of tossed in 4 as well! I loved that 1!
Maybe the next three get a collective remaster as well?
If this one makes them money, why not, right?
What this game needed was also a new control style like the one from tomb raider underworld. They should give you option to also go back to classic way, but really put the new one in, because I can't go back to the old ways once you've played with the easier more fluent control style.
It has modern AND tank controls, but I don't know how Underworld controls.
I'll start playing Anniversary - Legend - Underworld soon :)
@@LIZZgame I didn't know it had a control change, when I played it back in the day It was sticky controls, and I had toget used to it, but didn't know they updated the control style, will have to check the options, I only just bought the remake and tried it out for 5 minutes lol
Yeah those 3 games Anniversary, legend and underworld are better than playing the classics these days, because the graphics, style, controls are all really good, dark Lara in underworld has the coolest moves, but the classics there's something magical about them, being able to roam around freely in a grid level design is just retro you know what I mean? Retro gaming has a unique percpective of how games look, feel and play which will never die.
I played this game when it came out, couldn't really get past the first level back then. Now I am playing this too, Lost Valley had me so confused, you did it in 46 minutes, well... it took me 2,5 hour, but that was only because in the end I looked up a walkhtrough :'D (found all the secrets though while looking around lol)
If you are having fun the way you play, you do it right
I have to say, one of the best young player blind playhtrough so far. Heartwarming to see that the gamer instincts are not dead :P
You keep saying that you suck but it's not true at all.
Games of these generation were not meant to be played perfectly on your first run, you're doing pretty well. 17 minutes on Caves is a solid time for a first run. I've genuinly saw cringe-worthy playthroughs that took 40 minutes of stumbling and asking "What do I do now" before they figured out how to start the tutorial.
Keep it up!
PS, I suppose you've figured it out by now, six videos in the playthrough and having passed some levels that require tricky jumping. Anyway, a bit of backseat driving in case you're still confused:
The key to understand jumps is to learn to see the block grid the levels are built on. You may start to see that everything is one block wide, and some fractions of a block tall.
Jump button = Jump in place. You can grab a ledge one block above Lara.
Jump button + forward = standing jump forward. You can jump over a one block wide pit, or grab a ledge that's two blocks away. You MUST be on the very edge of the platform to cover the span to grab the ledge. Also, jump button first is fundamental.
Forward + Jump = running jump. This may be tricky for modern gaming habits, but in fact it's very precise and very reliable. When you press this combo, Lara steps forward one block then jumps. ALWAYS. You can't move, say, half block and then jump as soon as you push the button. It covers either two blocks wide pits, or grab a ledge that's three blocks away. All the times you failed to jump was because you pushed forward first then jump, without having the required distance for her to do her thing. Note that a one block long run-up is all you need for a running jump, no need to run for longer than that.
I understand that you feel more comfortable with modern controls, but the classic tank controls end up being better for three reasons:
- Modern controls are not modern at all. It's actually a modern control scheme bolted on top of the classic one, which makes it awkward at times as you can see.
- The camera freaks up much less in classic mode because it's programmed to stay behind Lara as much as possible.
- Movement is more precise because it depends on Lara's orientation rather than the camera. As hard as it may be to get accustomed to it for someone who did not grow up with it, it means that even if the camera freaks out, if you aligned correctly when you start a movement or a tricky jump, the alignment is maintained and your movements end up doing what you wanted to do without the need for correction whatever the camera does.
Nawww Thanks! And thanks so much for watching! I got way better with the controls a bit further in. I always struggle with every game in the first bit until I warm up with controls
Your are funny ,nise playing good job
Love your videos. Will be subbing for your series. Really think you need to master tank controls though. The game wasn't designed for modern controls 😋
Well I beat the trilogy already.. in Modern Controls. Welcome in, enjoy the ride!
Yeah true, I see they actually work pretty well after watching you do it. I was a bit dubious about them at the start of watching the series as I read the reviews on the remaster and they were saying they don't work properly. Clearly an inaccurate review@@LIZZgame
This is so good. The anniversary remake can't compare to this. It was all slow mo dodging and qte's. This is just raw old school gameplay and its so much more immersive and impactful like this even though its mechanics are so old now.
help at you doing the looking around with her 😂
Got to say -
I played all of these games back in the day and while it’s absolutely great to see them back again….
Boy these controls are tough lol!
And that camera swings around so much that it actually hurts my eyes.
I tried the modern controls but they were too loose and you could not do certain jumps that you need for the game.
So Tank is probably the way to go for me,
But a couple hours in I am still fighting with the controls and the camera!
And in certain corners or near certain ledges, I am getting all kinds of tears and digital jitters.
Hopefully we’ll have a patch soon but if not,I’m wondering if they rushed it to market before they polished and finished it right.
Still -
These are classic games and it’s just awesome that we can play them in modern consoles in 2024!
Tank is how it was designed to play. |You can put new controls on Zelda if you like or Mario 64. That would change the games of course .
I played the original back in the day and at the beginning of my playthrough of the remastered I struggled alot. Maybe even more than you. I was frustrated and blamed the controls or playing with controller (played it on computer back then - now on PS5). 😅
Fortunately I'm back at my old skill level now. Next is TR2 which was my favourite of the original trilogy.
hope you enjoy your run! I started the DLCs today :) Finished TR1 DLC "Unfinished Business"
@@LIZZgame I started the unfinished business, but I think I'll keep it for a bit later. Started TR1 as "New Game +" and also a run of TR2. I'm on the oil rig now. So Venecia is already finished. That was my favourite level of all three originals and it was a blast this time as well. 😁 Played the heck out of the first Venecia level when the full game wasn't released yet and I only had the demo. 😅
Have fun with the Add-Ons. 😊
51:20 If you’re doing a running jump, there’s a minimum distance you have to run before she will jump (so always start next to the wall on these one block platforms, rather than near the edge - tank controls make this much easier and more consistent to do)
All inputs are buffered btw, so you don’t have to get the timing down, even if you want to re-jump after landing (for example). Just hold jump, and she’ll jump as early as she possibly can 🙂
And yes, it’s normal to struggle with this stuff. A significant portion of the gameplay is designed around this precision platforming, and finding your way up/across to different areas. We all fall to our deaths sometimes, even long after mastering the controls 😅
The jumps were originally designed with tank controls in mind though (considering how the blocks are all lined up on a grid), so it’ll be interesting to see how the modern controls work out for you, if you end up sticking with them
(I tried them briefly myself, but they couldn’t seem to do everything I wanted to do, so I’m sticking with the classic controls for now)
Hej! I beat the game and already am on TR2. I know these things bye now :) But thanks!
They really should distinguish the load and save pages better, I think saving/loading accidents happened to everyone at some point during play and it is so so frustrating!
especially for a first timer, it's confusing hahah
I played these games in early 2000 on ps1 i was addicted but never completed them because I found the jump a pain and there was no TH-cam either to help I brought this as a gift to add to my collection but for me the jump and camera is still annoying but will carry on later 😊😊😊
Have you optimized your graphics card with ( The Nvidia Experience ) .
Beautiful
First time i'll see someone play this game, i never played it myself and know nothing about it (i only watched the movie).
welcome aboard! I never played these games either at this point. I loved them! Hope you'll enjoy it!
Ms. Croft, it is very much normal to suck at some games just like having our own failures in life. But embracing and learning from them is always key to future success.
I also suck at this game the first time I played it in 2017, but they have become a lot easier to master by practicing the mechanics, and Lara's tutorial in the gym was the real saving grace for the whole situation. It was a lot simpler than I initially thought it would be.
And then I played Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame after all the classic Tomb Raider games and suck again at the mechanics. I have to learn it's own mechanics from the beginning as well😅
I am stubborn, and I love the experience. In the end of Part 2 (atm not out yet, but will be later) I got the hang of it!
After doing the timed obstacle course outside, I always locked Jeeves the butler in the cold room after. 😁😁No idea what they changed in the remastered versions though.
She won't jump sometimes is because Lara's overstepping at the last so there's nothing she could push off against. Just have to figure out the distance between her feet when she runs and walks.
Reminds me of an incident, this was more than 20 years ago, when a friend of mine was frustrated because she couldn't get a character to jump over and get to another platform. Tried for an hour she said. I popped over to her house, checked the distance between the character's feet when he ran and then leaped him over. Took me a few seconds from the moment I sat down. She couldn't believe it. 🤣
pro-gamer move haha!
This is the BEST Jurassic Park game!!!!!!!
Funny that you'd say that, I just watched those movies haha
Tomb Raider ❤❤
Also to save health packs if your at the end of the level don't use it because next level your at full health
why does everybody tell me this, I don't see when the level is gonna end haha. You all just KNOW when the level is over!! I don't!
I'm playing the tomb raider on PS4. What control are you using? It's so hard to play it.
Hej! I used the Modern Controls.
what i want to know is do the cheats still work like level skip, all ammo and weapons and healthpacks
someone wrote that you can, but only if you use tank controls.. dunno
In the old graphics Lara Croft looks more angry lol
she meant business! haha
@@LIZZgame
A remake of TR1 was made in 2007 called Tomb Raider Anniversary, with then-advanced graphics and "re-imagined" content and modern gameplay mechanics.
I have that one too!
Im sure you figured it out by now but you have to hold the jump button thats why shes not jumping
😳 “She liked that…” 😂😂
I wish this remakes looked like the 'Tomb Raider: The Dagger Of Xian by Nicobass' Demo, it's really impressive.
it's a REMASTER.
NOT a Remake.
U gotta learn the tank controls. They are so much better to use for this game once you get use to them.
I finished two of the three games now with the Modern Controls without any problems (apart from initially learning how the game works), I think I am fine. Will start TR3 on Friday.
you have to play with tank controls. I know they kind of suck but once you figure them out. You will see the advantage. Precision leaps and flips are what set this game apart. Modern controls just do not work well in these games.
I really got the hang of it later on, Part 3 and 4 will show :)
I'm finding the game almost unplayable with modern controls.
Thankfully i'm used to tank controls, so it isn't a problem, but i'm wondering how new players will handle it.
The game is entirely designed around the grid structure for jumps, windups, and very deliberate movement, but modern controls make it actually harder to position yourself precisely because unlike tank controls, they are more free form and don't conform as tightly to the grid.
Not to mention actions like the 180° roll are completely pointless, since you can just press down and turn the opposite direction.
Though a problem many new players have with tank controls, is not knowing that they were designed before the mass introduction of the analog stick, and so are meant to be used with the d-pad or a similarly precise digital input (like a keyboard).
Yes, at around 6:55 you can tell she is trying to use the analog stick with tank controls instead of the D-Pad and having control issues.
The 180 roll isn't just to do 180 turn, its also a dodge and engage against a backstab, or tank the damage and roll through an enemy to shoot it in the back. You can also roll while jumping which is vital for progress (grabbing opposite ledges) and reaching secrets.
I see there's several more episodes after this, so you've probably figured it out already, but the key to not getting hit in combat is usually jumping backwards while shooting.
with modern controls it's easier to jump over them or running in circles around the enemies.
Explore all the areas thoroughly. You missed 2 pickups early on. No biggie - just play again. Been playing since the 90's. Now my adult daughter and I play the game.
if I SEE an area or a pickup, I will try to get there, but if I just plain miss it, I move forward. Hope you and your daughter enjoy the game!
