It was suggested by staff that Eidos did not want to let outside developers handle the franchise. Common elements [ ] Lara Croft [ ].

Lara Croft, the series' central protagonist, as she appears in the 2013 reboot. Despite multiple revisions to her clothing and general physique, her face and hair have remained generally consistent. Lara Croft is the main protagonist and playable character of the series: she is a woman who travels the world in search of forgotten artifacts and locations, frequently connected to supernatural powers. While her biography has changed throughout the series, her shared traits are her origins as the only daughter and heir of the aristocratic Croft family. She is portrayed as intelligent, athletic, elegant, fluent in multiple languages, and determined to fulfill her own goals at any cost. She has brown eyes and brown hair worn in a.

The character's classic outfit consists of a turquoise singlet, light brown shorts, calf-high boots, and tall white socks. Recurring accessories include fingerless gloves, a backpack, a utility belt with holsters on either side, and twin pistols. Later games have multiple new outfits for her. Lara Croft has been voiced and portrayed by many actresses in games:, Judith Gibbens, Jonell Elliot,, and. In other media, Croft was voiced by in the animated series and portrayed by and in films. Multiple models and body doubles have also portrayed Croft in promotional material up until the in 2013.

Eight different real-life models have also portrayed her at promotional events. Continuity [ ] The circumstances of her first adventures, along with the drive behind her adventures, differ depending on the continuity. In the original and Legends continuities, she is on a plane that crashes in the Himalayas: her journey back to civilisation against the odds help begin her journey towards her adult life as an adventuress and treasure hunter. In the original continuity, after her ordeal in the Himalayas, she left behind her privileged life and made a living writing about her exploits as an adventurer, mercenary, and cat burglar. In The Last Revelation, Lara was caught in a collapsing pyramid at the game's end, leaving her fate unknown: this was because the staff, exhausted from four years of non-stop development, wanted to move on from the character. Chronicles was told through a series of flashbacks at a wake for Lara, while The Angel of Darkness was set an unspecified time after The Last Revelation, with Lara revealed to have survived.

The circumstances of her survival were originally part of the game, but were cut due to time constraints. In the Legends continuity, her mother Amelia was also involved in the crash, and she is partially driven by the need to discover the truth behind her mother's disappearance and vindicate her father's theories about Amelia's disappearance. This obsession with the truth is also present in Anniversary, and ends up bringing the world to the brink of destruction during the events of Underworld. Her father is referred to as Lord Henshingly Croft in the original games and Lord Richard Croft in the Legends continuity. The Lara Croft subseries take place within this continuity, featuring on smaller side stories that do not contribute to the plot of the main trilogy of the timeline. In the 2013 reboot continuity, Lara's mother vanished at an early age, and her father became obsessed with finding the secrets of immortality, eventually resulting in an apparent suicide. Lara distanced herself from her father's memory, believing like many others that his obsession had caused him to go mad.

After studying at university, Lara gets an opportunity to work on an archaeology program, in the search for the mythic kingdom of. The voyage to find the kingdom results in a shipwreck on an island, which is later discovered to be Yamatai, however the island is also home to savage bandits, who were victims of previous wrecks.

Lara's attempts to find a way off the island lead her to discover that the island itself is stopping them from leaving, which she discovered is linked to the still living soul of the Sun Queen,. Lara must find a way to banish the spirit of the sun queen in order to get home. However, she must survive long enough to do it. The aftermath of the events of the game causes Lara to see that her father was right, and that she had needlessly distanced herself from him. She decides to finish his work, and uncover the mysteries of the world. Gameplay [ ].

A gameplay screenshot from Tomb Raider: Anniversary, showing Lara jumping for a ledge below a door switch. While many mechanics within the Tomb Raider series have undergone changes, platforming and puzzle solving linked to this are recurring, standard elements within the series. The gameplay of Tomb Raider is primarily based around an framework, with Lara navigating environments and solving mechanical and environmental puzzles, in addition to fighting enemies and avoiding traps.

These puzzles, primarily set within ancient tombs and temples, can extend across multiple rooms and areas within a level. Lara could also swim through water, a rarity in games at the time that has continued through the series. According to original software engineer and later studio manager Gavin Rummery, the original set-up of interlinking rooms was inspired by Egyptian multi-roomed tombs, particularly the. The feel of the gameplay was intended to evoke that of the 1989 video game. In the original games, Lara utilised a 'tank' control set-up, with two buttons pushing her forward and back and two buttons steering her left and right, and in combat Lara automatically locked onto enemies when they came within range.

The camera automatically adjusts depending on Lara's action, but defaults to a third-person perspective in most instances. This basic formula remained unchanged through the first series of games. Angel of Darkness also added stealth elements. For Legend, the control scheme and character movement was redesigned to provide a smooth and fluid experience. One of the key elements present was how buttons for different actions cleanly transitioned into different actions, along with these moves being incorporated into combat to create effects such as stunning or knocking down enemies.

Quick-time events were also added into certain segments within each level, and many of the puzzles were based around sophisticated in-game physics. Anniversary, while going through the same locals of the original game, was rebuilt using the gameplay and environmental puzzles of Legend. For Underworld, the gameplay was redesigned around a phrase the staff had put to themselves: 'What Could Lara Do?' Using this set-up, they created a greater variety of moves and greater interaction with the environment, along with expanding and improving combat. The gameplay underwent another major change for the 2013 reboot. Gameplay altered from progression through linear levels to navigating an open world, with hunting for supplies and upgrading equipment and weapons becoming a key part of gameplay. The combat was redesigned to be similar to the series: the previous reticle-based lock-on mechanics were replaced by a free-roaming aim.

Rise of the Tomb Raider built on the reboot's foundation, adding dynamic weather systems, and reintroducing swimming. History and development [ ] Origins and development [ ] At Core Design (1993-2003) [ ]. Toby Gard, a key creative figure for the series, at the 2005. The concept for Tomb Raider originated in 1993 at, a British game development studio. One of the men most involved in its creation was, who was mostly responsible for creating the character of Lara Croft.

Gard originally envisioned her as a man: company co-founder Jeremy Heath-Smith was worried the character would be seen as derivative of, so Gard changed the character's gender. Her design underwent multiple revisions and redrafts during early development. The game proved an unexpected commercial success, reversing Eidos' then-bleak financial situation. After the success of Tomb Raider, work began almost at once on a sequel. After the first game's success, Gard was no longer given full creative control, and it was stated by development staff that he was both saddened and disappointed by the use of Lara Croft's sex appeal in marketing. Gard left Core Design in 1997 to found his own gaming company, and was replaced by Stuart Atkinson. Tomb Raider II proved even more of a commercial success than the original.

Over the next three years, Core Design was committed to delivering a Tomb Raider game annually, putting considerable strain on staff. For this reason, and the feeling that they had exhausted the series' potential, the developers tried to kill the character off. This did not work, and while a fifth game was created, the team stated that they were not fully invested in its development.

During development on the fifth game, the team split into two divisions, with one division working on the next-generation sequel The Angel of Darkness. During this period, multiple handheld titles were also developed by both Core Design and third-party developers. The production of The Angel of Darkness was beset by problems from an early stage, with the team wanting to create a grander game to compete with contemporary action-adventure games. Under pressure from Eidos, key sections of the game needed to be cut, and it was released before the team felt it was ready. The game received negative reactions from both fans and critics, and was cited by Paramount as the reason for the second Tomb Raider film underperforming. At Crystal Dynamics (2004-present) [ ] After the critical backlash of The Angel of Darkness, Eidos decided to take production of the Tomb Raider series out of Core Design's hands and give it to another subsidiary studio.

Production of the next game was given to, a studio that had made its name with the series. Eidos CEO stated that while the critical failure of The Angel of Darkness was a major reason for taking the series away from Core Design, the decision was also motivated by their inordinate struggles with developing for the PlayStation 2, and by how many members of the Core team had complained that they were 'burnt out' on Tomb Raider.

He added that 'For a UK company, moving the development of its prized asset from Derby to California was a big decision to make but, as it turned out, absolutely the right one to make.' One of the main priorities for both Eidos and Crystal Dynamics was to regain the fanbase's trust in the brand, along with helping the series reclaim the status and selling power it had before The Angel of Darkness ' release. Their main goal was to put Lara back inside tombs, with their physics-based engine enabling more intricate puzzles. After Legend was finished, the team decided to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the series by remaking the original game, rebuilding the environments and redesigning the story to fit in with the events and gameplay of Legend.

Alongside the development of Anniversary, an entry for was in development, although it used established gaming architecture from Legend and this caused problems for the development team. In 2009, the year after the release of Underworld, Eidos was bought by Square Enix and later renamed, giving Square Enix ownership of the Tomb Raider franchise.

Alongside Underworld, the team decided to create a new subseries that featured the character of Lara Croft while not using the Tomb Raider moniker and using the aesthetics of the Legend continuity. During this period, a second development team was working on a second reboot of the series and character, which would put emphasis on a darker and gritter interpretation of the character.

Another priority was presenting Lara as a more human character, showing her in vulnerable positions, and showing how she begins her journey to becoming a 'tomb raider' through both narrative and gameplay. A sequel, eventually revealed as Rise of the Tomb Raider, was confirmed as being in development a few months after the reboot's release. In response to criticisms about a lack of classic tombs, more optional and story-based tombs were incorporated into the game.

It also continued the team's new portrayal of Lara, showing more sides to her character and her growing obsession with discovering the truth. In addition to this, the Lara Croft subseries was continued in multiple titles: the console game Temple of Osiris, and mobile title Relic Run. In addition, the mobile puzzle game Lara Croft Go was created to both give a different gameplay experience and evoke classic Tomb Raider games. Music [ ] The original Tomb Raider theme was composed. He created the original theme music after having discussions with Gard about the character of Lara Croft.

Having decided to use Classical English music as an inspiration, he decided to create something simple for the theme song. Its simplicity made rearrangements and orchestrations easy. For his work on the first three Tomb Raider games, he was given fairly minimal briefs, and for Tomb Raider III he was working on the game as a freelancer as he had left the company. For The Last Revelation, replaced Nathan McCree as the main composer, using McCree's music as a basis for his work.

He composed the opening theme for The Last Revelation, saying that the opening melody came to him out of the blue, and added Egyptian motifs to fit in with the game's setting. Chronicles was originally going to have a sizeable original opening theme, but due to time constraints the majority of it ended up being discarded, much to Connelly's later regret. Only the opening segment survived.

The music for Angel of Darkness, composed by Connelly and Martin Iveson, was the one element of production that did not encounter problems, as recording was finished before the major content cuts happened. Scored using a full orchestra as opposed to the synthesised instruments of previous titles, it was performed by the. For Legend, composed the music and managed the sound effects. Alongside composing a large amount of music for the game, he created micro-scores for small segments within gameplay.

Folmann returned to score Anniversary, doing re-orchestrations of the original score, along with expanding them. For Underworld, Folmann handled the main theme while handled the rest of the soundtrack, which featured far less looping music than Legend. The 2013 reboot was scored by, who had become known through his work on the franchise. Along with his orchestral style, he created a special instrument to create discordant sounds within the music, and musical elements from around the globe to represent the inhabitants of the game's island location. For Rise of the Tomb Raider, the composer was Bobby Tahouri, who had previously worked as assistant composer on video games and theatrical films.

Guardian of Light used no original music, instead using extracts from the music of Legend, Anniversary and Underworld. The music for Temple of Osiris was written by Will Roget II, who had originally worked on licensed video games including. Temple of Osiris was the first title in the Lara Croft subseries to have an original score, using Egyptian and Middle Eastern musical elements while creating a new main theme that could be used in future Lara Croft games. Technology [ ] The first Tomb Raider used a custom-built game engine, as other equivalent engines available to Core Design at the time were not versatile enough to realise the team's vision.

The engine was designed by Paul Douglas, who also handled the game's (AI) and the three-dimensional (3D) graphics. The choice of a 3D game was influenced by the team's opinion that the game type was under-represented when compared to such as. Its 3D style meant multiple elements were difficult to implement, including the AI and camera control. Another noted aspect was the multi-layered levels, as compared to equivalent 3D action-adventure games of the time which were limited to a flat-floor system. Lara's movements were hand-animated and coordinated rather than created using. The reason for this was that the team wanted uniformity in her movement, which was not possible with motion capture technology of the time. For Tomb Raider II, only minor upgrades were made to the engine, with the main improvements being to the AI and smoothing out Lara's model.

Tomb Raider III underwent major revisions, including rewrites to the graphics engine and improvements in the lighting and AI systems. The engine was given a major overhaul for The Last Revelation. The first five games make use of full-motion video cutscenes. For the first three games, they were primarily used as transitional periods depicting Lara moving from one level to another or one location to another. For Chronicles, fairly minor revisions were made. For Angel of Darkness, a new engine was built from scratch, but due to being unfamiliar and unused to the technology of the PS2, the team encountered multiple problems such as needing to remove areas and characters due to polygon restrictions. Due to the deadlines imposed, the team were forced to cut corners, meaning that the game reached store shelves in a poor condition.

For Legend, the staff at Crystal Dynamics created a proprietary engine from the ground up, named the Crystal Engine. The engine and the game's content were developed in parallel, leading to scheduling and workload difficulties. Anniversary used the same engine as Legend. Underworld used an all-new engine built specifically for the game, although its basic codebase was shared with Legend. In Underworld, Lara's movements were animated using full motion capture, with Olympic gymnast Heidi Moneymaker providing the character's animations.

For the 2013 reboot, a new engine called 'Foundation' was created for the game. Motion capture was again used for the 2013 reboot. An updated version of the Foundation engine was used again for Rise of the Tomb Raider. For both games in the new reboot, Lara's hair movements were made more realistic using a technology called (TR:2013) or PureHair (ROTTR). In other media [ ]. • Starring Distributed by There have been two film adaptations so far, in 2001, and its sequel in 2003 which both starred as Lara Croft. Short film [ ] A short film called Tomb Raider: The Trilogy was Produced in 1998 by Silver Films for the Tomb Raider III launch party, the film was never screened outside the event at the Natural History Museum in London.

The film is set to be a reboot, showing Lara's first adventure and will be based on the 2013 video game with Lara searching to see if her father is dead or alive. Actresses,,,,, and were all being considered for Lara Croft, while, and had turned the part down. Deadline reports that was in the running for the part of Lara in the reboot were confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter. On 28 April 2016, it was announced by Variety that had been cast as Lara Croft in the reboot. She beat out Ridley, who was her co-star in, and, who were the frontrunners. On 7 December 2016, Variety reported that had been cast as the film's villain.

He told Collider that his character is confused, angry, and desperate. He later called the plot ' meets a genre version of the Joseph Conrad novel '. On 11 January 2017, Variety reports that is cast as Lu Ren, a ship captain who will join forces with the adventurous Lara Croft on her quest to find her father.

Television [ ] In 2007, an animated series based on the character was produced and broadcast by as part of a series of re-imaginings of popular video game series. Titled, it ran between May and June 2007.

Multiple noted animators and writers were involved with the series, including,, and. While the production team had great creative freedom, they were given a basic guideline for the character by the developers so that Lara would not do anything out of character. Comics [ ] Beginning in 1997, Lara Croft was featured in multiple comics produced. First, she had a cameo in, then later in a which ran for fifty issues from 1999 to 2005. An attempt by Top Cow to restart the comic in 2007 stalled due to licensing issues. A new comic book series began in 2014, set within the 2013 reboot's continuity and bridging the narrative gap between the reboot and its sequel. Novels [ ] Four official novels have also been written.

The first three, set within the original timeline, were published between 2003 and 2005. The first novel, The Amulet of Power, was set after the events of The Last Revelation, while its sequels The Lost Cult and The Man of Bronze are set after the first novel. Another novel set within the 2013 reboot timeline, Tomb Raider: The Ten Thousand Immortals, was published in 2014 as a continuation of the original story. A fifth book, titled Lara Croft and the Blade of Gwynnever, also written by Dan Abnett and Nik Vincent was published in late 2016, and is a stand-alone adventure. Reception [ ] Upon release, Tomb Raider became an unexpected success with gamers, reaching the top of sales charts and remaining for a considerable time. It went on to sell 7.5 million units worldwide. Tomb Raider II was an even greater commercial success, with debut sales higher than the first game and total worldwide sales of 8 million units.

Despite varying critical receptions, series sales continued to be strong until the release of Chronicles, which sold just 1.5 million units. While The Angel of Darkness met with initial strong sales, it failed to meet expectations. Since the release of Legend, the series has picked up in sales and popularity.

The 2013 reboot eventually sold 8.5 million units, becoming the most commercially successful Tomb Raider title to date. As of 2015, the series has sold 58 million units worldwide, becoming one of the. In addition to the games' success, the 2001 movie adaptation grossed $275 million, making it the highest-grossing video game adaptation until overtaken in 2010. Multiple video game journalists, including 's Crispin Boyer in 1997 and 's Martyn Carroll in 2008, have cited the series as a pioneer in the medium, both laying the foundations for and popularising action-adventure and platforming games. Carrol also credited the series for bringing video gaming out into the cultural mainstream. In a different article, Eurogamer also cited The Angel of Darkness as a pioneer of mixing different video game genres.

The public's reactions to the series over the years have conversely had a profound effect upon the series' direction and identity, as noted in a 2008 review of the series' history. In 2006, Tomb Raider was voted one of Britain's top 10 designs in the Great British Design Quest organised by the and the. The game appeared in a list of British design icons which included,,,,,, bus, and the. The character of Lara Croft has similarly enjoyed popularity, standing out during her initial appearance in the male-dominated video game market, and continuing to stand out throughout the series' history.

After her debut in 1996, Lara Croft was famously featured on the front cover of British culture magazine, a position previously only held by real-life celebrities. She similarly was featured in Irish rock band 's. The character was inducted onto the in 2006, and earned multiple mentions in the: she was recognised as the 'most successful human video game heroine' in 2006, and earned six awards in 2010. As part of the latter honours, Guinness World Records editor Gaz Deaves said that the character 'epitomises all that's great about video gaming'. In an article for, Jeremy Parish said that Lara's sex appeal was the main draw for early fans, a facet Eidos exploited for marketing and attempted to emulate in other products. He also cited other writers' statements that her popularity stemmed from player empathy with her ability to survive tough situations, alongside contrasting against weaker female characters such as. However, alongside this praise, she has divided opinion as to her character design and consequent sexuality: particularly among feminist critics, she is both hailed as an empowering figure for women, and a negative role model due to her probable [ ] proportions.

Later, apparently more 'realistic' redesigns lessened these criticisms to a degree. See also [ ] • References [ ]. • ^ Wainwright, Lauren (4 November 2011).. From the original on 10 May 2008.

Well I recently installed TRAOD on my PC and faced some issues, so I created this topic to help people/newcomers like me getting this game working. Now this became more of a master list too! ----------------------------------------------------------------- Getting and updating TRAOD to work on your PC: First of all after you install your ' Tomb Raider Angel Of Darkness' game on your PC You should do the following steps: 1-Install the latest TRAOD Update/Patch (Ver./Build 52) 2-Configure your game from the launcher.exe and then clicking setup, configure your resolution and quality/effects to maximum (if your PC can handle it, but what PC wouldn't these days? ) 3-Install Sasho's Amazing controls fixes/patches for TRAOD PC, can be found here 4- You can configure the buttons/controls in game by pressing 'ESC' Button on your keyboard to access the menu and then options >controls. 5-More official patches and Information about them can be found NOTE: Everything should work fine on XP/7/8/8.1 Afaik, I tested it on 8.1 Update 1 and it works flawlessly, it is unplayable without the patch, well mainly the menus.

----------------------------------------------------------------- Patches/Fixes: - - - - - - - Modifications: - - - - - Look. - Modding Tools / Softwares: - - - - - - - - - Other Useful Links: - - - TexMod: If you want to use TexMod (For texture modding/skinning/mods etc.) with TRAOD refer to this link And yes it works with Sasho's patched EXE as well TexMod not working? Steam version?

This quote might be of help. Edit: Managed to get them working, no one told me I was supposed to remove the P4 exe from the bin folder lol.

All I had to do was put the P4 folder in the root aod folder and remove the other one from the bin folder and now it works. ----------------------------------------------------------------- I hope that is all for now, if there is anything I can add please let me know, this will always be updated (hopefully), I want to have a topic with all things required so people wouldn't have to search and look for too long. Please do not forget to thank the patch/graphical patches authors for their hard work if you use them, they really deserve some thanks:P I also hope this was not done before therefore a duplicate, if so I hope it get's stickied for benefit.
