OpenLara: Tomb Raider - 13 Natla's Mines (Longplay/Bug issue)
0A new work-in-progress Tomb Raider game engine ported to libretro.
This game engine recreation seeks to allow you to play the original Tomb Raider engine games, from 1 all the way up to 5.
OpenLara V1 Tomb Raider 1 is fully playable.
The nice thing about OpenLara is that, while staying true to the original look and feel of the original, it also adds some enhancements to it that manages to make the boxy old-school Tomb Raider games look a bit less archaic. Some examples include :
The framerate is no longer fixed to 30fps, and you can now run it at a smooth 60fps framerate. There are even more framerate options, allowing you to play at 90fps, 120fps or even 144fps.
You can set the internal resolution of the game.
New water effects which replaces the simple vertex manipulation of the water surface on the PSX. The Saturn version actually was the only version that tried to do something a bit more sophisticated with the water.
Self-shadowing on all the player models (although this still has some visual anomalies at places).
Improved lighting effects, including colored lighting (you can see the save crystals emanating a blue light for instance, something which definitely was not in any of the prior Tomb Raider versions).
Shading effects – after Lara gets out of the water, her skin has a slightly wet shading effect.
There is also a brand new local multiplayer mode. You toggle the game into splitscreen mode by pressing Start at any one time. From there, you can see a second Lara character, which is only distinguished from the main character by a slightly jerky animation update routine. Player 2 can now take control of this Lara and you can engage in ‘jolly co-operation’. At all times, Player 1 can beckon Player 2 back to his position by pressing the Start button, which resets player 2’s position back to Player 1’s so that Player 2 can always be brought back in case he/she is running too far astray.
There is also a first person view that you can toggle into by pressing the Look button (L button) and then pressing the Action button (B button). This gives you a Mirror’s Edge-esque first person view.
The ability to target two enemies at the same time individually.
The graphical enhancements can all be toggled on/off inside the game’s inventory settings screen (toggleable by pressing the Select button).
