Zip article
shouldnt there be a zip article, hes appered in 2 games and is obvisouly one of the main chracters now. Theres an article about Natla and she only appered in the first tomb raider.
GameCube version
Can anyone update the GameCube version part, knowing fully well that the game is out?
- Just yesterday I've added some info regarding the GameCube version. I wish someone could add more info regarding the PSP version and its extras. Treeble 14:38, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
- I added a couple of things about the GC version (a couple months ago, actually), about it loading faster and having a cleaner look than the PS2 version.-Mega Man 5 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Theory
- As everyone has mentioned about the several missing features shown on the trailer, but not the gay I have thought of a theory...
Several of these items/levels/moves, have probably been dropped out for the next game, as they a)Wanted to make a cliff hanger game, like they where going to do with AOD and shove in those things there, or b)They had no fresh ideas for a next money maker, and made it in parts, so the person would have to buy more than one game to see it all.
- Another theory would be the "Natla industries" logo on the boxes, a)It was a clue for Tomb Raider Anniversary addition or b)The next game (part in the series), will feature the fabled Avalon and Natla is there or is on earth and is helping Amanda (who also looks strangely alike Natla).
Fan sites
Could we please only have the most popular fan site(s) listed? I believe all these new sites that keep being added contravene Misplaced Pages's policy on fansites.
Fan sites: On articles about topics with many fansites, including a link to one major fansite is appropriate, marking the link as such.
Sam Burke 19:06, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
- there is no such mention of that on the current version which i can see. Mathmo 13:37, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
IGN.COM
http://www.ign.com hardly constitutes a "fansite".
Please read the following corporate "about us" page: http://corp.ign.com/
"Fansites" are understood to be fanpages created by fans themselves. As stated in the policy itself "Note: fanlistings are generally not informative and should not ordinarily be included."
Fansites are more of an emotional appeal and an idol worship with discussion pages about their hero. IGN is a programmers website, and would constitute more of the informatiove, newsbased sort link that wikipedia is looking for.
Please don't come along and just start deleting things just because your mind has taken possession of the Misplaced Pages Tomb Raider webpages. These pages are an "open forum", encyclopedia sort of posting page; not a web fansite where you can just "get rid of people", and then find your entire web fansite removed from the Internet for various violations of International Law.
WB2 05:29, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
- Is this referring to myself or to everyone in general? I have only removed links which are blatant self-promotion. I believe only the official Tomb Raider site and the popular Tomb Raider Chronicles fan site deserve a listing on all Tomb Raider pages. You can judge TRC's popularity within various community forums and search engine rankings if you wish to do so.
- I'm talking to you. IGN isn't a fansite. WB2 05:46, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
- No it's not, but a completely unnecessary link as both listed sites have the exact same information. Sam Burke 12:26, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
- And why does Misplaced Pages has title "Fan Sites" instead of "Fan Site", Mr Burke? Are you Misplaced Pages official? If yes, either please update that header, or stop abusing other site's rights, because from technical point there should go PlanetLara.com, not TRC. If you are not from Misplaced Pages, please stop wasting our time here. 02:54, 19 March 2006 (GMT)
- O.K. Mr Burke, you are not a Sysop, you haven't even given information about yourself, and you just recently became a part of Misplaced Pages in January of this year. If you don't like multiple external links, then why haven't you criticized the main Tomb Raider page? There are several similar "external links" there. Again, a "fan site" is a personal opinion website, and that is why they are not encouraged here. I'm going to return the link; if you remove it again I can refer you out.
- WB2 06:08, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
- I think either let all fan sites/anything else post a link or let no one post a link apart from the offical site. TRC is debated as the biggest TR site (as Shehi mentioned) and I doubt that anyone is going to accept having only their link on the page. We could have a seperate page with a list of TR fan sites as there are a large number but I don't know what the policy on that sort of thing is.
- Guys, please add sites WHICH HAVE content on Tomb Raider 7 Legend inside. Don't add every Tomb Raider site which has nothing to do with it. As president of Misplaced Pages recently said, they will have soon their main content which can't be edited. At that point I would strongly suggest they include all fan sites on topic. Plus, I would like to mention an important point here: there are sites which have unique content on some topic, content which is unavailable on other sites. E.g., tombraiders.net features the best walkthroughs/guides for Tomb Raider games by Stella, planetlara.com features the largest Tomb Raider art gallery, tombraidercommunity.com features one of the best guides written on former tombraiders.com by Theresa Jenne etc - you just can't ban those sites. It would not only be unfair, but a great loss of information. Misplaced Pages is the source of information right? Then Misplaced Pages is the only place which should value these sites. Don't throw sites into trash unless you have reviewed all of them completely. And yes, Misplaced Pages already says in its guidelines that sites earning money for viewing their content are not allowed in this list - which I have to agree with. Gamespot, Gamespy and all similars are commercial entities. However, removing all other fan sites from list is too much, too unfair. Thanks for your attention and understanding! 16:08, 19 March 2006 (GMT)
Title
If you check Eidos's Website you will note that the actual title of the game is Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend. I was going to correct that in another article which led me here to notice how widespread the incorrect title is. Is there a reason for this or can it be fixed?--Dustin Asby 22:12, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
- Moved to the correct location. Mouse Nightshirt 16:22, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
Cleanup?
Came here from the Cleanup project page - tbh, the article seems well enough written for now, considering that the game hasnt been released yet. I think the tag should be removed. Mouse Nightshirt 16:24, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
A PS2 Screenshot??
How is a PS2 screenshot at 1024x768 resolution? --Kinghajj 05:29, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
Improvement
Do we really need the Cheats section? I don't see any other popular games with a section like it, so I'll probably remove it if theres no objection... also, the demo and main section can be merged to take up less space. Mopper 02:17, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I agree. Someone should get rid of the cheats. Balso Snell 19:41, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Trivia
The "Croft Manor" level is (probably) inspired on the Croft Manor seen in the first Tomb Raider film. DTE 14:33, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Criticism
The following paragraph has been removed:
"Some fans have criticized Legend, seeing it as an inferior addition to the franchise. In the game, Lara has been changed extensively, despite claims that the game would take Tomb Raider "back to its roots." Her appearance, her voice, her history, and even her mannerisms have been adjusted, so as to be more in-line with the movie representation of Miss Croft. There still remains a small but dedicated number of fans who have boycotted the game which was created (and consequently any future games in the franchise), instead demanding a continuation of the trilogy began in The Angel of Darkness."
because every sentence needed a citation. If the entire paragraph is that flimsy, it should not exist unless it can be supported by evidence. I put it here so that, should citations appear, the material can be re-inserted.Rebochan 21:51, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
Edited Legend
I think it would be very interesting to have a section on this page listing the different aspects of Legend which were edited from the released version of the game. You can see parts which never made it to the final game at Gamespot screenshots and the first official trailers. It may also be wprht mentioning WHY CD decided to remove these aspects. of course, they have not commented on why, but many fans have discussed it on forums and the general conseses is that, since CD was new to the TR game, they wanted to "test the water", so to speak. What I mean is that they wanted to make a short but quality game to see how it would do when it was on sale. It would be nice if other people could make any useful additions that I may miss.
- Is this section really necessary to the article? It looks messy, it has problems with being unsourced, and I don't see how it is so important that material in early trailers and screenshots didn't make it into the final game. I imagine this sort of thing is fairly common in the video game industry? - Shrensh 21:30, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- I've been looking for sources to the section, and I've removed the following paragraph:
"*Crystal Dynamics claimed the soundtrack would feature a few tracks from The Prodigy but in the finished game, no such tracks could be heard." To my knowledge, Crystal Dynamics have never claimed that. This probably is just fan speculation because the second trailer featured a Prodigy song. After looking through the biggest fan sites, the closest to that I could get was some info saying they couldn't confirm any popular band presence because it was too early. If someone can support with evidence the above paragraph, feel free to include it back. Treeble 12:01, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
Lady Croft info
"In the beginning of the game, we can see how she disappeared after opening a strange portal in the Himalayan mountains. In the end, we discover that is was in fact future Lara who was talking to her mother, explaining several lines such as: 'What about my daughter?' this is the mother's response to Lara: 'Mother... It's me... Lara... Your daughter.' Amanda tells Lara that her mother is trapped in Avalon (she was teleported there after she pulled the sword from the dais). A possible sequel could be Lara searching for a new dais to re-open the portal and travel to Avalon and save her mother..."
this info seems too long and inappropriate since it contains spoilers for the game without the warning. I'm editing it.---mickey Ichiro
Fresh Idea
I have a proposal. I posted some time ago an article that just doesn't fitted with Misplaced Pages's standards. This is my article: User:Locketudor/Tomb Raider music. I want to split it, remake it and distribued it to all Tomb Raider games. --Tulok 15:28, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
American-English or British-English spelling
I reverted a change of spelling from British-English to American. I would say British-English is more suited since the game is about a British character. The publisher, Eidos, is a British company and owns both Core Design (original developer) and Crystal Dynamics (Legend, Anniversary). Also, I believe the topic has strong national ties (see WP:MoS) and therefore British spelling is better suited. - TexMurphy 07:18, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
- The original Tomb Raider was released in the United States first, by a week, then the UK. Tomb Raider: Legend was released in the EU (note: not just the UK) 4 days before a US release. Crystal Dynamics may be owned by a British company, but it's an American company. Is "artefact" really how the Brits (mis)spell "artifact"? Odd... Anyway, "artefact" redirects to "artifact", and every other article there spells it with an "i", not an "e", so I think it should remain spelled (not "spelt") with an "i". ∞ΣɛÞ² 07:32, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
