Thank god for the subtitles! I was finally able to understand what they were saying in some of the cutsecenes! The fake thick foreing accents muffled by the background noise track and some of the cryptic dialogue ("with the tommy-gun on my keyring" WTF is that supposed to mean?) made it soooo hard to understand what they were saying. Also, LOL, just noticed that the music during the ritual scene is totally the Temple of Doom played in reverse!
Tommy gun on my keyring it stating that that weapon is his favourite and he all ways has it with him and thinks he can draw it out fast no matter the situation
And plus, one other thing, when Bartoli’s henchman said ”With the tommy gun on my keyring” - I took help from my dad to hear what Bartoli’s henchman said once, and then my dad thought he said something in Italian. He really couldn’t hear what he said in English.
TR 2 is my favourite. It hit a sweet balance on interesting gameplay, difficult yet solvable puzzles, and a reasonable game length. The game was much more polished than TR 1, yet the puzzles and map designs were not as abstruse as TR 3 (London was a big mess imo) and TR 4 (It got really confusing since the armor seeking plot, and Cairo onwards was just frustrating.)
I'm currently replaying TR II (watching this as the Steam version keeps skipping cutscenes for me). It's.. I feel like you're forgetting all of the shitty elements of this game. Don't get me wrong, it's super nostalgic for me and I'm enjoying it, but good god it's annoying at times. Aside from Natla's mini bosses at the end, in TR I you only fight hostile wildlife. You only take damage if you let them get close and attack, you can dodge if you're careful though. TR II, from the second level, is almost entirely human enemies, with guns, hitscan and tanky. Especially in Venice, often in places where they get the drop on you every time. The fact most enemies drop health packs shows the developers realised each encounter is just an exercise in expending ammunition and health packs -- less than you gain, ideally. It's pure attrition, it's not fun at all. Even with the all weapons + ammo cheat it's still a chore to get through because of this. Then, there's the sucker punches. Traps and falls you have absolutely no way of seeing coming, until you've died once to them. Areas where you have to know, in advance, to drop down backwards in order to not die. Corridors that transition into a blind corner into a dead drop. Drops that you have to make, that guarantee fall damage. It's littered with these moments and they're a huge shame. Long ladder climbs are annoying but at least they don't force a reload. I end up saving every minute or so because I get so fed up of losing minutes of progress to another blind corner drop. It's very good in the early levels at showing you what switches and levers do, so the levels flow and you understand where to go next. By the end, especially in Tibet, it's terrible at it. Sometimes, it just doesn't show you. So you have to guess. It might be a door several rooms back has now opened -- you have no way of knowing, you just have to keep going back to every previously closed door to find out what happened. I love TR II it was my childhood, but let's not pretend it's perfect. It has a ton of sharp edges and poor decisions, but incredible atmosphere and when it flows it's such a great game.
This game is LOADED with Indiana Jones references. The Venice boat area, the airplane ejection in the snowy mountains, the car chase, and many more smaller references.
1998. I was 6 when I rented tomb raider 2 as a kid. Playing the croft manner lever gives me a relieve after a bad day in kindergarten back then. As an adult from an exhausted day. It cheers me up cause graphics were awesome
when i was a kid it was rumored you could see Laura croft naked in tomb raider 2, me and my friends tried everything we could to unlock the "special cut-scene" but to no avail, ah the memories, i love tr
I never really thought about it as a kid, but how did Lara hold her breath all the way down to the Maria Doria? And how did she not get crushed by the pressure lol? It doesn't make a lick of sense why they're using submersibles but she can just.. hold her breath. Doesn't matter of course, but it's funny playing it now and thinking wtf, how
Her absolute badass attitude is what I miss the most in the new games. She was such a raw and straight up no-BS woman. I got an anti-hero sort of vibe from the original Lara; she wasn't evil, but I didn't see her as some flawless hero either.
A lot of people don't get that about Lara, unfortunately. She was never designed to be an outright "hero" character. At times she could be considered quite amoral. I mean, technically what she does - tomb raiding - is illegal, but she doesn't give a toss.
@@maxsommers6843 I was thinking this during my playthrough of Anniversary with the mansion full of artifacts. At least British musuems are free entry so anyone can view artifacts. Lara just squanders her in her giant mansion. To quote Indiana Jones..........................
Thank you very much for all the positive feedback! I really appreciate it :D Next step: Doing the same to Tomb Raider 1. Stay tuned for that, and subscribe if you don't want to lose it!
So great to see these in full, I missed out on them back then. I had the game for PC back when I was a kid but somehow the cutscenes would never properly play. The sound would play in normal tempo but the cutscenes skipped a lot of parts. My only way of 'hearing' the cutscenes in full was by playing the audio tracks on the CD-ROM on my stereo.
Anyone ever notice that the sounds of the opening battle scene are taken from the Battle Of Stirling Bridge from Braveheart? I always thought that was cool. :D
10:45 That has got to be the most clever, well though out reaction in a dyer situation i have ever seen in a game or movie. Mad props to that individual for quick thinking, and mad respect for the guys at CORE Design for thinking up such a smooth and intelligent split decision. The more i rewatch it, the more brilliant it gets.
I too, had a hard time understanding dialogue during some cutscenes. And thank you for showing the in-game in-game cutscenes, most ytubers don't bother with showing them
I KNEW I could hear "Michael" the Geordie from Alan Partridge! (Simon Greenall - does a LOT of acting and voice acting for cartoons ie Monkey Dust, and computer games... as well as being a producer of some films too ie "We Have To Talk About Kevin")
The mercenary in the scecond scene (also Fabio) is dubbed by Massimo Marinoni. Massimo is the voice of Cyborg Ninja and Otacon in the italian version of the first Metal Gear Solid.
This is a very good job. Congratulations on compiling it, and thanks for all the subtitles. I was wondering I can borrow clips from it (just FMV) to attach to PC gameplay capture. I could just use the FMS from the game, but Pc version haves this nasty scan-lines that ruin it completely. Please answer, and thanks again.
10:45 I always wondered why he's this incompetent at driving a submarine lol. Can Bartoli not at least give his men proper submarine training courses before he sends them out to investigate the Maria Doria wreck because judging by his facial expressions he seems confused as hell.
Claudio at the beginning is saying how the doors are to be open once someone worthy is ready to plunge the dagger into their heart. Fabio and Marco in the plane are talking about whether or not it is a good idea to search the Maria Doria for the Seraph, as its been so long the tide might have just carried the artefact away and it would be a waste of time. The Monk in Diving Area is telling Lara about the ship and how he's there to prevent Marco and his cult from salvaging said artefact from the waters below them. The last in game cutscene in the temple is just them doing some ritual.
That scene was really strange. He gave her information and then killed himself. I’d expect him to kill himself before she could force information out of him. I’m not sure why he jumped froward after shooting her either. It was a strangely edited scene.
Hi, I'm doing a playthrough of this game on youtube but because the steam versions are a bit crap and they won't let me record the cutscenes. Is it possible I could download this video and use the clips if I mention you In each video?
I like to joke that TR2 has similar issue as Raiders of the lost Ark. If Lara would not be in the story, the end would be more or less the same (only difference being more dead monks and China government would get Dagger of Xian, of which they probably the legal owner anyway).
I so wanted new reboot to develop Lara finally into this bad ass. I did like rise of tomb raider but it was not quite there and shadow was just awful. It did not feel like tomb raider at all to me.
Love the game, was definitely one of my very young childhood games I played, I played to the butler part and never completed the game from there. Did not know why, time just pass and flys.
Back these days dragons were made of chocolate.

I know right? I didn't undertand a thing either until I found the transcripts on Stella's site.
The fighting sound in the first cut scene is from Braveheart
I couldn’t agree more with Lázaro Martinez. Thank god for the subtitles, GoldfishGam3r! 😊😊😊👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

you can tell it was made by the original team who did the first one, they didnt work on TR3
@@ant3978 Indeed. TR 3 and 4 were way too convoluted in terms of puzzle design and sometimes almost unbeatable without a walkthrough / guidebook.

Bruh, the dialogue is hella good for the time. Impressive.
I agree. I compare TR1-TR3 to for example Resident Evil, and it's striking how good it is.
This was the best voice actress they ever had for Lara
Agreed. As much as I like Shelley Blond,, Jonell Elliott, Keeley Hawes and the rest, Judith Gibbins captured Lara perfectly imo.

Fantastic work! So wonderful to relive these nostalgic moments! 🤩❤️
Great quality aswell!
Tr1, tr2, and tr3 were the kind of stories we needed instead of von croy. I love tr4, 5, and aod. But Lara did tomb raiding for fun.
100% agree. I hated the TR4 story.

Tombraider 2 is the best game in the franchise in myhonest opinion, it deserves an official remake!
The guy in black and red with black sunglasses looks just like the Monstrome from Dark Angel !
(2:49) Someone should bass boost this part!
you can clearly see that Marco's eyes are red at 5:18, right?

No.
Tomb Raider 2 is probably the only game in the whole series with the least amount of cutscene and dialogue, not counting Lara's tutorial section.
This is a very good job. Congratulations on compiling it, and thanks for all the subtitles. I was wondering I can borrow clips from it (just FMV) to attach to PC gameplay capture.

Hey, can anyone tell me how many cutscenes are in Tomb raider 2?
love that the audio is from braveheart lol
Dude I love you
hi this look amazing ..good Job..did you use the pc version or a Ps1 emulator ?
It was the PC version. The game looks a lot better on PC, the Playstation version just looks werid. Textures shake and jitter randomly.
We should do the tomb raider 2 cutscenes Reanimated Collabs.
10:45 I always wondered why he's this incompetent at driving a submarine lol. Can Bartoli not at least give his men proper submarine training courses before he sends them out to investigate the Maria Doria wreck because judging by his facial expressions he seems confused as hell.
