I play on PC and the first game I started was Angel of Darkness. Thankfully, Lara is now much easier to control with the mouse, except in small rooms where the camera/mouse seems to not work properly. Anyway, I've made more progress in the Remastered version than I ever did in the original, so that says something. How is everyone else doing?

I'm loving these games (on Steam) and am at Living Quarters in TRII which brings back memories. Aspyr have done a great job with the modelling and graphics, and I especially like the photo mode. Apparently, on Epic Games, that version is an updated/patched version, so there's much talk about when official patches will be released.

On Monday I played TR 2013, Rise and Shadow and loads of fun, but didn't have any problems with the dark.

This UE5 demo from two years ago is totally in the style of TR so it's hard to imagine that the engine decision was taken only recently.

This is really great news since the Unreal Engine 5 is ground-breaking in its fidelity. But not only that, we now know there will be another game after so many years with no announcements. ?

I wouldn't be surprised if a teaser just came out of the blue or someone sees a screenshot leaked somewhere. Remember the photo of a laptop on a train showing part of a new game which turned out to be Shadow Of...? Mind you, could be wishful thinking on my part. ?

I've been busy getting married, building gaming PCs and having my latest novel translated into Spanish. Not to mention still waiting for the next TR game to come out, whenever that may be.

Nicobass has just updated the demo to 1.2 which now includes a photo mode, new outfits, water renders and other improvements. It's great to see that he's still working on it and I wonder how far he will go with this? http://tombraider-dox.com/downloads/

You must be the first person I've seen who actually complains about free games. By the way, you can only ever install one game or program at a time on a PC, not forgetting that modern games usually weigh in at 9GB and higher.

I'm very impressed with this forum software and I've just discovered that there's an app in development for Android and iOS. I run a forum on a completely different subject on another platform and we have an app for that which works better than Tapatalk. Anyway, with permission of admin, here's a link, not forgetting that it's in beta. https://invisioncommunity.com/news/product-updates/ios-android-apps-open-beta-r1183/

I pop in here from time to time, especially if I find a bug in TR or need help. Recently I've been playing around with TR1 Glidos and also TombAti with HD textures, which makes the game look much richer. I seem to be in classic games, mod mode at the moment including Chronicles and TRIII.

I think I may have done just that as I can still see the circuit board under the water, below a grid floor behind where Lara is standing in this shot. I may have to consult Stella's oracle.

I came across a Facebook post about outfit restrictions and the mysterious 'Coming soon' tomb/DLC8 and I don't understand why people are getting so worked up. Have I missed something here? I thought that finishing the game, as I have, lifted that outfit restriction and yes, I also noticed the coming soon slot. Some forums are almost melting down on both of these subjects, with many posters saying they've had it with SOTTR. Pardon me? Edit: Kotaku answers both these questions, with the outfit restriction being lifted in the Definitive Edition, apparently. https://kotaku.com/shadow-of-tomb-raider-isn-t-getting-a-new-tomb-but-wil-1839072209

Apart from outfit restrictions being lifted, if you own the season pass, what else does this edition offer? Graphical improvements? New tombs? I don't think so and it's a shame SE couldn't have come up with a surprise for this edition.

Is there a bug in this level, or is it me? I've got to the second level where platforms circle around and I shoot the rope at the bucket, shoot the witch to make sure she can't cut the rope and she gets reeled in. The trouble is that the lever to open the fireburner doesn't work, i.e. there's no press E appearing, even if I holster my weapon. Could be me of course, because sometimes the lever hint appears and sometimes it doesn't. Edit In Stella's guide, she says that once a burning vat is used, the lever can't be used again, if i understand correctly. Last paragraph, boss fight middle level. I had missed the lever which unlocks the second set of floating islands and managed to get to the top level, so please ignore this
