Talk:Tomb Raider: Anniversary

message: From the looks of the screenshots and the renders, the weapons she is carrying aren't the classic Brownings from the original games.  They look more like M1911 Colt's or 1911 clones.

message: I have a proposal. I posted some time ago an article that just doesn't fitted with Wikipedia'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 15:27, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: "Classic Costumes"

message: Please guys, this article deserves a good clean up. From the beginning, contributors have written their own speculations or hearsays about the game, without caring about structure or sources. We have now plenty of online (and paper) reviews to be able to correctly write about what has been confirmed to be in the game, and to properly source it (ie not lazily put 2 or 3 external links, but create proper citations with templates, etc).

thread_title: Clean up

message: "One move they did was a fireball throw, just like the original counterpart. The trailer revealed also that the game was planned for a May release."
From the trailer, I could have sworn that the mummy just stood down from the 'looking' position and another one just blew up. Mummies in the first Tomb Raider NEVER threw fireballs and it looked like to me that the mummy simply blew up.
Could somebody verify this, or were they actually throwing fireballs (in which case winged mummies are next probably) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ggctuk (talk • contribs) 12:51, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: My mistake - they were throwing fireballs - not exactly faithful to the mummies in TR1, but hey, CD and EI make the rules (but I think iD's going to sue somebody). Ggctuk 16:12, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Inccorect information?

message: An animation reel has appeared recently on YouTube, and I was wondering whether it was leaked or not. If it was, would it still be worth a mention? Content included animations from Lara, Larson, Raptors, the T-Rex (Which would point to this being leaked since EI and CD want to keep a tight lid on the T-Rex for now) the Unmummified Atlantean, and in some instances, the centaurs.

thread_title: Animation Reels - leaked or not?

message: Isn't it important, the fact that some people worked for the music of the games.
There is Nathan McCree, Peter Connelly, Troels Brun Folmann, Alan Silvestri and lot of other important names. If anyone would like to help me with the genral article about Tomb Raider Music User:Locketudor/Tomb Raider music. --Tulok 13:55, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Did this guy get a leaked copy or something? --Katana314 22:06, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems that a lot of UK citizens who ordered on Amazon.co.uk have received the copy 2 days early...myself included!  I was completely shocked!  I have no idea what the explanation is...but I think it should therefore be mentioned in the article.

thread_title: Is it released?

message: From what i know there is a little mistake in the storyline. In Anniversary Larson is suppose to be the first human victim of Lara. The problem is that Larson also appears in Chronicles (so it had to take place before Anniversary) and from what i remember Lara was killing people there already. --sturm 11:31, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If you read through the plot of Chronicles, it's just a series of flashbacks, a clips show. So, that particular mission takes place before the first Tomb Raider. Other missions take place at different times. ColdFusion650 11:51, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes but does Lara kill anyone in that part of Chronicles?--sturm 14:04, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know. ColdFusion650 14:20, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If TRC's Rome takes place before TR1 and TRA, then no, Lara did not kill them. Because otherwise how would they be in TR1/Anniversary?? Ggctuk 08:59, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Im not asking if she killed Larson but did she kill other human enemies in Chronicles. --sturm 14:52, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  She killed people in the Russia and VCI levels, mostly dogs and wild animals (as well as statues and deceased gladiators) in the Rome levels and none in the Black Isle levels. Ggctuk 13:25, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Dogs, wild animals, and statues are not people. ColdFusion650 14:41, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Rome plot from TRC has been completely retconned; AE makes no sense at all otherwise (as Lara has a completely different personality). MMAN 12:34, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Whoever tried to move this article, did it wrong. They didn't actually move it properly, using the move function.

thread_title: Attempted Move

message: This section in the article needs a little cleanup. When I read it I found information of a speculative nature. I have done my best to remove some of it and add some more information, however, we need to keep speculation from this article now the game is out. Ggctuk 12:53, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: "Differences from the original 1996 Tomb Raider" cleanup

message: I think this is a good thing to have but it seemed a bit biased towards the original game (although it's admittedly near-impossible to defend some of the deletions). I clarified some points and tweaked a few of the bits that showed a very obvious bias. I also removed some of the "other changes" (they showed the most obvious bias of all, and thing about the Mutant Lara having eyebrows just read like some pointless fan trivia thing).
I also removed the "remake status" section, as it was speculation from before the game's release MMAN 12:16, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: What happened at 'References'

message: "On 18 June 2007 Eidos announced an Xbox 360 version of Tomb Raider: Anniversary. The game is split up into four episodes with the first two being released in September and the next two following shortly afterwards. The Croft Manor level will be available as a free download for each set of episodes. Purchasing all four episodes will cost 2400 Microsoft Points ($29.99 USD) and will require a Tomb Raider: Legend disc. It is the first time a full retail game will be available on the Xbox Live Marketplace. The game will also be released as a retail game for the Xbox 360 at a later date."
Is there a source for this? This is the first time I've heard of it. I know the game can be bought instore, but there is nothing to download for it. Carocat 22:23, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Review Response Table

message: I can't edit it. I was going to add a little bit under "Other Changes" noting that weapons now have a maximum ammunition limit that prevents the player from accumulating any more ammo. In the original Tomb Raider, the player could carry as much ammo as there was to be found in the entire game. 74.242.118.197 (talk) 03:43, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the article has been protected since August 2007 due to vandalism at the time. Whether it can be unprotected, I don't know. Do you have a source to confirm that? I'm sure you are correct but you need a reliable source to back it up. ~~ [Jam][talk] 08:00, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm not sure where to find a citation just to point out a minor change in gameplay mechanics. It's a pretty apparent feature you can confirm just by opening the game and checking your inventory. You could try adding it for now and see if anyone wants to challenge the lack of citation. I doubt it's of much importance. 65.6.50.235 (talk) 00:41, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Possibly - stick the link here and some of the other editors can take a look and see what they think. And yes, everything needs to be sourced somehow or other - personal experience doesn't count. ~~ [Jam][talk] 18:44, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

text: You mean [this link]? I'm not sure if Stella's site would count as a reliable source, but it would actually be difficult to find one explaining game features such as this. The manual doesn't make any mention of specific unlockable content, but it is infact there. You can cross-check with strategy guides and walkthroughs, but again, I don't know if they could be cited as reliable sources on Wikipedia. In this case, I don't think it's important to stress strict reliability, considering game features are more of a common knowledge. I think it's fine to simply point out that the game has unlockable rewards without going into specific detail about what all of those rewards are, but I wouldn't object to someone adding a mention about it. 74.242.120.174 (talk) 04:04, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah thanks for that, I was running late so i didn't have time to put that link on the page. But like Jam said - personal experience doesn't count so it seems we have to cite reference somehow. 86.164.28.91 (talk) 19:59, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Proposed clean-up

message: I'd like to point out that the explosion at the beginning was not just an explosion, but a nuclear experiment in Manhattan Project, Los Alamos, New Mexico. Manhattan Project's objective was to create the first A-bomb.
Manhattan Project ended in around 1945-1946 after successfully creating the first nuke. In those days, an actual mock-up of a town was used to test the practical blast yield of an atomic bomb.
Note that in the explosion scene, the blast yield could destroy a town and results a mushroom cloud. Both are the trademark of a nuclear blast. There was also the trefoil symbol on the fence in the scene to warn people about radiation, indicating that the area was intentionally closed-off. And New Mexico, the location, plus the town, and the year 1945 are mentioned in the scene.
I'd also like to point out that 1945 is during WWII. During that period, there was no such big blast on US soil, or anywhere else, before Manhattan Project. So this blast can't be anything else but that.
