- An unused FMV from the original Tomb Raider by Core Design. #TombRaider20
Footage preserved by Planet Lara. Music from Nathan McCree's original Tomb Raider soundtrack added by Crystal Dynamics. - Hry
The music is so nostalgic.
They should have used the original music in Anniversary and hopefully a new Tomb Raider remake of the original game to capture some of the original games atmosphere! This includes the high and low choir voices!
:(
And wonderful :)
Indeed. Playstation Era...
@watchmejumpstart by far
I miss you original Lara 😭
We all do. I always wanted to be like her, I can’t say the same about the imposter who took over the franchise.
She's back! Via the remastered trilogy.
2013 reboot shouldn't even be considered Lara. She a fraud running on this classic legends name
@@crashpal The last real Lara was in Underworld.
@@crashpal💯 FACTS
Seeing this in 2024 after the remaster release.
Nice to get to see this FMV.
Wait remaster is out??
@@Zak6009 Same surprise here, no one told me lol.
@@Zak6009yes I just beat all three games in remastered
Classic Lara is the best. She’ll forever be iconic
Absolutely, an icon of gaming, and pop culture in general.
Her majesty was simply unparalleled.
lara : 😮
artefact :🗿
Augh
🗿
Wtf
verdict: 👍
Sad it went unused, the amount of work put into it is insane... Man 90s CGI is so charming... It's like a generation of gaming that never was.
@@SaturnJap depends on FMV quality, PS2 didn't have the level of FFVIII or Tekken's hair physics on FMVs but in-game graphics were very close otherwise.
I've always said it would be cool if someone made a game with the style of PS1 CGI
Oxe, onde esta o saturnjap? Voce respondeu a um cara e o comentário dele nem esta aqui???@@KasumiRINA
This kind of stuff also cost a fortune to render, so cut such content was basically like burning bags of money !
I grew up with 90's CGI but I honestly don't miss it much (remember that really weird MK1 cartoon? Anyway) I do miss pre-rendered backgrounds though, nowadays it would look super amazing, a shame after PS2 no one used it anymore
After 20 years... this is amazing
After 24 years it is still just as amazing.
The beginning was great, but that ship sequence needs some Lara.
It's 2016 and I still feel the luster of classic Tomb Raider games. They can truly stand their ground today and compete against today's franchises.
I think the nostalgia bug bit you a little too hard lol
+alternine Your stupidity is running rampant, might wanna get that checked out by your local doctor.
Joncharmed93 That nostalgia bug must've bit you in the ass if you're butthurt about my comment lol
alternine No I'm just annoyed by stupidity. People like you throw that word nostalga around as if that automaticly makes your argument win by default. Might wanna go back to school and take a logic class and learn how to make an actual argument. One word isn't nearly enough debunk a claim or argument.
Joncharmed93 it's really pathetic how some people think that their opinion is above others or that if they don't like something or if they outgrew something then that makes anyone else who still likes it either crazy or stupid or "nostalgic" or whatever. Like it's a game, if somebody loves it or prefers it over others, why does that bother somebody else so much that they feel the need to make an argument out of it, as if there's anything to win from that. LOL
Good vibrations from old times, where TR wasn't just a shooter...
I finished Tomb Raider 1 today. 28 years later. Still a masterpiece. Still hard!!! Very hard!!!!!
This light projection out of the scion is basically what they used for the orb in 'TR The Cradle Of Life'
it's even in a similar boat. :D
I thought the same thing ! ^^
RichardJHCroft Watch Jaws and checkout the ship in that movie
Yes, saw it right away
I was thinking the same! It looked very familiar
WHY DID THEY DELETED THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE? ITS SO COOL!
Maybe it was from when Lara was a Latin American explorer?
No idea... My best guess, maybe it took up too much space on the disc?
@@corentinguillo5577 probably
@@CoriSparx That, and it doesn't seem to add anything particularly significant to understanding the story. Despite the scion activating, it didn't show anything comprehensive. The boat scene was drawn out, and the contents of the book added nothing as far as I could see. It would've been visually pretty at the time, but nothing more.
its got nothing to do with the story of the original. my guess is this was sort of a demo or trailer type thing made very early into development.
CLASSIC LARA! BRING HER BACK!!
They did today chill
good news, she's back
@@grantmctaggart9942 I'm sorry what?
@@FreedomEagles100Yeah, they just released the Remasters of 1, 2 & 3.
@@Sassy_Witch yeah, with a stupid disclaimer. i'll think of pirating it, maybe!
Why did "Core Design" have to die? Just because of the mistakes in AOD ?
It's a shame because this team was exceptionally good at their artistic abilities.
Alone this music from the great "Mr. Nathan Mc Cree" was sooooo atmospheric and nostalgic ...👌 ...Thank you for sharing....and greetings from Germany.....😎
No, it's because Core Design was acquired by Rebellion.
I agree wholeheartedly. such an awesome design team. I think they spent a lot of money on Angel of Darkness so they have to shut down when it did not do so well. It sold pretty well though. I am not sure completely why they shut down. But they were phenomenal on the PS1. Ninja is a fun game, and I kind of enjoyed Deathtrap Dungeon and Fighting Force.
I read the abandoned idea called Bloodlines, the prequel to AOD. I must say there are some things that I like a lot. Like Kurtis being a demon hunter.
คั.
@@wanwisachantakong4470 ?
My favorite theme from the Tomb Raider games was the theme from The Last Revelation. I would just stay at the main menu to listen and watch the awesome opening.
It is wonderfull, but i prefer the theme from the third one. Even the theme for the second one is amazing.
+Bruno Maia All the TR themes are amazing! XD
Saaaaame
I miss the old PS1 era, I much prefer the old "cartoony" Lara over the realistic one we have nowadays.
she's too whinny now and the story has nothing to do with the source material she doesn't even evolve within the story she's literally the same in all 3 games. LOL
@@Oldschool1943 Because women are perfect, they cannot evolve.
Core desing, we want you back.
I watch the tb anniversary edition for psp, and see that no one capture the real escense of lara and the atmosphere from the tombs ; the ilumination, ambient, music, and the gameplay, all was perfect.
These Tomb Raider's music and animations used to scare the shit out of me when I was young.
I still loved to play the games, though. Great times, great memories.
I was always scared to swim, those sharks and the fact that i can drown. I'm playing the original trilogy now and still scared of Lara's life every step of the way 😁
The Shark level scared the bejesus out of me but the ship level afterwards was so cool. My favorite level in TRII.
I miss Tomb Raider (I - III). Tomb Raider II is and always will be the best TR game for me personally...
Yes, I started with II and it shaped me in so many ways as a kid. I went to study archaeology because of TR ♥️
tomb raider 1-5 is iconic and legendary, but the sixth one - (TR: the angel of darkness) was a let down. RIP Core
@@Oldschool1943 I played a few levels of IV but I didn't like it that much. Few years ago I played through all of Chronicles because I hoped that I got a similar feeling like with TR II. But unfortunately it wasn't that good either in my opinion. So I stick with I - III. Those are the legendaries for me. I didn't like any of the other TR games. Angel of Darkness is pure garbage and the first reboot was weird. The second reboot was a woke catastrophe with a QTE shitfest.
time for you to check out the remastered versions of 1-3 :)
Same. 2 had the perfect balance of story telling, puzzle solving, platform, and action.
Why was this deleted?
At the moment I'm replaying the classics and I'm currently finishing TRII so this video came out almost just in time. I do miss the classic Lara.
Wouldn't make much sense in the story line, would it?
Apparently it was made when she was a latina named Laura Cruz and the main enemy was a male guy, whos name was on the journal.
Maybe they decided that the post egypt cutscene thing was a better way to drive the story. That's where it seems like this was meant to go.
Urosh Uchiha Novakovic probably because of some copyright bullshit. That ship is almost indentical to the “Orca” from Jaws
I'm wondering the same, it doesn't really seem to be connected to the scion...or is it? :/ Edit: Okay, as it seems this is the beta version of the scion and in this FMV lara puts all three pieces of the scion toghether tombraider.fandom.com/wiki/Atlantean_Scion
20 years old and still better rendered than food fight.
This is AMAZING. Thank you Core!
Used to be so excited to see what kind of platforming and adventures she'd get into. Was a magical time pre 9/11.
It was. Economy was booming, people hated each other less, superpowers negotiated more, lgbqt was less forced
Oh, the sweet sweet charm of that intro music. The Good Old Days!
This music... The nostalgia!
Me dá o ouro.
Thank you so much for bringing this to us. I find it interesting they cut out that Lara is a Christian
Judging by the room, this would take place after level 4 Peru. But judging by the hologram, we would go to Easter Island as one of the locations uh?
I never stopped to consider how cute Lara would look with her hair down.
wow! this is exclusive content! never seen it before
¡Excelente! Muchas gracias por ese extraordinario vídeo.
This looks like more of a tech showcase, thats a pretty interesting find
Man these graphics are amazing. Still holds up. 👍
Wow @.@ I'm so amazed! Thank you!!!
Thanks for the good memories :-)
I always loved this intro and wish it had made it into the game properly. It shows so much of Laras character without any need for action or dialogue or an over-flattering camera angle. All we need here is a magnificent set piece, some colorful and interesting environments and an effortlessly beautiful and capable Lara to make us want to explore whatever mysteries are about to unfold before us 😊❤️🔥
So epic! This is the TOMB RAIDER. Core Design TR games definitely need a new visual look. It's been a quarter of a century.
Your wish come true :V
I was only 1 year old when this was made. :O
Really love seeing all these old clips!
Good old days when game designers actual created new games and not just remodeled old ones and turned their characters 180 degrees. Nowadays you will find new concept mostly in the indie scene. The triple A ones just copy each other who can make it worse. We need Core design and also Team Silent back.
...you do realise TR1-3 are literally the same game reskinned and new level editor?
@@denaviktorov2290 No he doesn't realize that because he has nostalgia goggles on. I like the original Tomb Raider games and I have my issues with the new games but Core Design's engine was always outdated and is especially outdated in 2019-2021. Moving a character in a 3D space in an adventure game without analog controls is a chore. Mario 64 released the same year and showed that analog controls were the best going forward.
Bring back this old theme song... Even a little bit of it... New games are still TOMB RAIDER, i want to hear the same old THEME SONG!! :'(
Love the environments outside
I did play the original tomb raider somewhat back in the day, but I don't remember that much, still makes me a bit nostalgic.
Nostalgia...
The classic TR games will forever be in my heart. Back then they really made good solid games
Such iconic music.
The deleted FMV was cool. I replayed all the PS1 games a few years back, tough controls to get used to again, but still had it's fun moments.
Awesome!
this fmv is actually amazing, why it didn't make it in the original game is a mystery
what would of been funnier is if she solved the puzzlebox and the Cenbites came to grant her wish with 7 blood sacrifices.
I'm not sure Clive Barker would approve lol! 😅
... Why do I feel Deja Vu watching this?... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before. I can't believe this game is 20! I played it for the first time in 2010 at ten years old on a dusty PS1 and have loved the series ever since. I'm working on an art project to celebrate it's anniversary, too.
There is a very similar scene in Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, the second Angelina Jolie movie, where she decodes the Orb aboard that Chinese family's houseboat and sees images leading her to Africa. It would appear this cutscene may have served for the inspiration for that scene.
İm i the only one get tingled when listen this amazing music 💕
Im shooked to learn that Lara was there before I was alive damn
I remember when these kinds of in game cinematic were top notch. We’d stop everything we were thinking about and just absorb them.
This is everything
dude i loved this game my mother bought it to me and i played the heck out of it, not many guns but amazing game!
Damn its great.
I missed them.
FMVs were such a treat as a kid, like a reward for slogging through bad graphics, they felt like movies. Nowadays they look garbage but at the time we were gagging for smooth "high res/poly" graphics.
Lara Croft in a nightie ... 😍
Even when done in '90's CGI, I'm here for it.
And now that I've played Tomb Raider II through, I'm here for that as well. 😍
Interesting to see those textures from the boat ultimately make their way into TR2.
Like that one scene in the Tomb Raider Cradle of Life movie with the orb.
I love this game 😎. The o.s.t is amazing
I love that theme!!!!!!❤😊
00:32 🗿
Wow, that's what's missing after St Francis' Folly!
I always wondered why we just got that 51 second vision FMV that went nowhere.
20tn anniversary of the true Tomb Raider, look where it is now....Across the wrong side of the pond, with depressing non memorable theme music and run by people who don't know what to do with this aristocratic British heroine! Can we please have Lady Croft back, along with her dignity?
The reboot from 2013 is pretty good, though.
Her aristocratic elements were her worst elements. Lara had a lot more to offer than 'class' (a word which is not entirely disentangled from 'social class').
I agree, it sucks that we don't make the games here in Derby any more, but that's how globalisation works. We don't make our own steal. We don't make most of our own media representations. It's none of the companies faults.
The music in the new game is great, though I admit that there is no need for the lack of signature music, especially the classic theme. Lara is my favourite video game character, but she was also incredibly flawed. Her personality often didn't amount to more than cheesy one liners, her wealth was used to make her seem cool (as though rich people are better than poor people), she was too superhuman, and she wasn't a serious archaeologist. These are all things that have been worked on for the new games. I don't know exactly what you think is missing?
+ FreekinEkin2 If Lara has more to offer than 'class', then eschewing her aristocratic elements for the 2013 reboot, is disingenuously throwing the baby out with the bath water from the cannon.
Disclaimer,. haven't played Rise of the Tomb Raider. For PlayStation 4 owners such as myself, a damning example of Microsoft's 'globalisation', and yes that sucks!
The dreadful title theme music from the reboot continues to be used? I cannot recall a single note of that right now....Which is a shame.
Classic Lara came across as a convincingly well read, intelligent research archaeologist. And a 'classy', witty, gutsy adversary against her foes. That's the Lara I miss, flaws and all.
In Tomb Raider 2013, Lara herself is 'broken' into an uninspired character, that I really had no empathy for. She lurched from one disaster to another, suddenly becoming her homicidal gun-crafting American cousin Laura Croft in the process and left me feeling underwhelmed. I know which Lara I prefer.
the reboot with fast travel is shit if i see tomb raider with an option called fast travel its no a tomb raider
+MrAeRoZz That and the 2013 game title being a complete misnomer, there is no Tomb Raiding....More accurate to call it Cave Looter?
The original games made you feel like an explorer and intelligent solver of ancient puzzles. This one talked down to the player, by giving them almost immediate access to a 'survival Instinct' help mechanism, that removed any of challenge whatsoever to the increasingly repetitive 'puzzles' therein. What a let down!
AH YES BACK IN TIME 🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿
I wish they could remake the whole series (including the angel of darkness which can be fixed and updated) with all the music and gameplay. Maybe it will be a hit, if not I would still pay.
They actually did that.
@@AppleNorris And guess what, I already payed 😉
I don't know why but the second half of this scene gives me a Tomb Raider 2013 vibe with that boat
more like stolen from the original for 2013 fan fiction trilogy. not sure how ur getting that vibe though since 2013 is a carbon copy of shutter island.
❤❤We miss you classic and unique Lara ❤❤
Whenever i hear this music, Tomb Raider and Broken Sword pop into my mind immediately...
She actualy looks really good here, why did they remove this scene?
I'll bet this was extremely fascinating back then. While I was born in 2002 and grew up with stuff like COD and sonic colors, this is still pretty interesting.
I miss her :(
There's such a lovely wonder and beauty to this cutscene. Why the heck did they remove it?... Glad I got to see this though, cheers for sharing.
When the hologram displayed, first I thought "Wow, that must be Atlantian or something because of how advanced that relic is...". And then I thought "Me no dumb dumb! you dumb dumb!" 😅😝
TR classics are better compared to the new ones... i noticed that most of the games today are similar.. like shoot and survival or sumting... UNCHARTED, HORIZON DAWN, RISE OF THE TR... the gameplays are all the same.. this type of TR makes you feel like an adventurer and a real ARCHEOLOGIST.. the new ones are just plain like hack and slash thing... too bad...
and PS: i prefer the old LARA compared to the new one...
Yeah, that wasn't at all made clear when you said "TR Classics are better compared to the new ones"
I agree, except on the point of being a real archeologist.... I don't think a real archeologist would destroy as much in tombs
Didn't know this was out
The music is so awesome, fits perfectly for a Heroes game. :)
Lovely
Because of my nostalgia for this series of games, I enjoyed this one clip more than anything being offered today by any studio. The video game industry is in SHAMBLES, and the AAA publishers could learn a thing or two from the golden age of video games.
Lara had a close encounter of the 🗿 kind
I liked the part where it went 🗿🗿🗿
And Lara in her nighty....omg! 😍
Cool for its time
An adventure I can only dream of.
For it's generation, this was incredible...
that music!!!
This is actually well directed lol like the timing, the shots length and movement, even Lara acting is all sooo smooth and they deliver a great storytelling experience. Might no add nothing to the plot but its great.
This FMV of Lara croft animation in 1997 it looks really cool
Is it hard to remastered old TR series and bring happiness to your old school fans !
Yes, because if they so much as touch this with a modern studio, it'll be completely broken. And we don't need yet another crappy remaster ruining what was once an amazing game.
@@SergeantExtreme But it'd be nice to make a better port for Windows 10 than DOSBOX and some quick patches
@@SergeantExtreme take a look at open lara.
И вот через 7 лет твоего комментария появился ремастер первых трёх частей игры. Я рад до безумия 🥰
This comment didn't age well 😅
Lovely amazing scene!!!! Best game !!! When will they re-release them enhanced????
That's the most immersive fmv of the 5 games
oohh so this was the idea that cradle of life got it from. thanks, Simon west for at least attempting to recreate these scenes from classic and the real tomb raider/lara croft.
why the fuck did they delete this?! this looks like one of the best cutscenes in the entire game!
after 2 years i kinda get it
ugh i changed my mind again, the cutscene should have stayed!
@@yohnnyjames Why you so hot and cold lol
It's interesting to see they reused the textures of the boat for Maria Doria in TR2
Why in gods great name didn’t they use this music in the reboots
That music will follow to the very end.
The animation of journal is insane
It bothers me how little appreciation they had for the efforts of the people who made this so that they never put it in the project
I dreamed at that point that gaming graphics would look like this and now it looks even better.
I’m assuming since she has two pieces and the background outside looks like Greece, I’m assuming this was the original FMV used between tomb of Tihocan and City of Kahmoon
0:28 She soo beautiful
geil, goosebumps
