You can; go into controls and the mouse sensitivity is currently set to 10. I turned off the 3 visual effects too, but it doesn't seem to make much of a difference to the game visually!

Miss Croft, I won't ask how you got the game 7 days ahead of everyone else lol.

MsC

Me either.

What button makes Lara swim down??

What button makes Lara swim down??

The Crouch button.

I noticed in the controls screen where you can turn off the hint icons and even the manual/attomatic(sp) grab.

I have not played too much yet but here is my 2 cents on it.

The graphics are awesome. After putting on the first cog I surveyed the area sightseeing the structure. That was impressive.

Yeah,it controls just like Legend which is not nessecarily(sp) a good thing. With the camera constantly moving it is kinda hard to keep your bearing. Not to mention it starts making me dizzy and thinking i'm drunk. When programing the controls for the keyboard they need to look at the original games. They were so simple and easy to get used to.

At the beginning with the wolves, if you run over and jump on the first stones that lead to the wall where you start all the climbing, they won't follow. They will stay on the ground and then be easy pickings,or you can just leave them for later.

It controls just like Legend? Awesome! Woot! That makes me happy... I think Legends Controls were great and easy to use... That was on the xbox btw tho...

The Crouch button.

How about swimming up?

The Crouch button.

I tried that and she wouldn't dive...I like the controls...I use the mouse to control her direction while running...it would be nice if the camera pans out during battle scenes...

I'm not having such issues with the swimming as I did when I played Legend. I just need to remember that I can't make Lara dive or surface using the mouse... The key to make Lara surface is the same as the one for jump, and dive is the same as the one for crouch/roll.

What I really wish for though is a camera reset button. Quite often I find I need to get the camera positioned back behind Lara very quickly, but there's no way to do that easily.

Has anybody found the shotgun yet?

It is behind one of the waterfalls where you find the second cog.

I tried. But it won't let me swing Lara behind the waterfall. I already activated the switch. I see a lil "cave" behind the waterfall on the left (coming towards the 2nd cog). But it won't let me go behind it.

I had that problem too but

you don't swing through the waterfall itself. Look to the left of the waterfall and you'll see the entrance to a cave that you can swing to.

Hmm it seem every time I feel in the water, the stream took me the begining of the level. I haven't tried again yet. Will do now.

I've just finished and really enjoyed that little taste of things to come. I think I found all there was to find - but didn't manage to get the artifact in the bear pit area, I just couldn't work out how to get there (I tried from all angles) and wanted to have time to actually get to the end.

Ok, forgive me if this isn't a very good description:

The sloped roof has a lot to do with it. Examine the wall in front of the sloped roof and you'll see a ledge that can be grabbable on the far left. Climb to the top near where you found the pistol ammo and walk to the edge overlooking the sloped roof. Make sure you are in line with the ledge beneath you. Jump onto the sloped roof and immeadiately jump to grab the ledge. Traverse to the left, face backwards and jump into the hole!

MsC

OK I got it down. You have to climb down the broken bridge a lil bit and then jump to the hole. So where is the gate that the lever opened?

Now to work on the artifact.

Thanks Ms. C - I'll have a go at that next time.

Mike - the gate is

in the water as you bomb from the waterfall. It is in front of you (but underwater) if you have your back to the waterfall - you get a small medpack.

thats not the gate you open there aint a gate there, i got that secret at the start that caves always open

thats not the gate you open there aint a gate there, i got that secret at the start that caves always open

Oh thanks - that's another secret I've missed then

I know where the gate is, I just can't get her to it yet... the current is really strong. Any tricks for this one guys?

Also, if I quit the game completely, can I restart from the last check point or I have to do everything all over again? ( I have the feeling I won't like the answer but I prefer to know before quitting the game )

Thanks,

Actually what your meant to do is swing back to the side where the bridge connected to (the side you first ran across to get the second Cog.) and climb down the ladder (which was the bridge) and jump to the right.

im not sure if this needs to be masked cause everyones played the demo now

POSSIBLE SPOILER FOR WHOLE LEVEL!!!!

Its only a demo people

the idea i think is we know where the two cogs are now but the other cog is in the bit with the dinosaurs and once you have all three cogs the waterfalls stop some how and when that happens you get to the pool on the ground and if anyone else noticed this there is a opening that the waterfall blocked it looked like a temple or something i have never played TR1 so really dont know yet.

Hi Fusion,

We all know it's just a demo but we still want to do everything that can be done! I'm not planning to rush through the game and reach the dinossaurs bit just to say I've done it. Actually, I'll make sure this lasts till the game is out

I appreciate if people continue using the secret tags. Even if most people finished the demo already, there's always more people that didn't even start yet or to all the new members of the forum that are joining to ask for help.

And while I'm on a more serious note, and not asking for help lol, I'm convinced that most of the problems you're feeling now, won't happen with the full version. Like someone mentioned before, those that are not used to this game in PC version and its controls, will have problems. For us, PC users, the controls are pretty much the same and we don't have problems at all. So, a bit of patience, soon you'll have the game in the platform you love so much.

Thanks,

BPanther

yeh the whole point of the level was to

get three cogs to turn of the waterfall so you can get behind it to the next level.

i wont spoil any more though if youve never played the first

In the opening area can you get to the steps behind the waterfall??

Sorry, but you will have to start all over from the beginning. The checkpoints don't seem to work except if you are still playing the game. Once you exit,you have to start over.

Not until you get all 3 cogs in place.

That is the exit to that level. The cogs work the contraption that eventually blocks the water from coming over the fall.

edit~ Here is a screenshot behind the waterfall where the shotgun is.

I found the gate when you climb up the wall to get to the second Cog you have to jump over the gap just before you shoot the first bridge. its in the water level with the gap but its unaccessable untill the waters stopped.

sorry if thats not clear. i have a screenshot of how to get there im not going to add it cause that will give it away but if anyone needs help when its out or wants to know now PM me and i'll send it to you
