Fan is working on an epic remake of Tom Raider II in Unreal Engine 4
Quote:
Back in April, we informed you about a fan-made remake of Tomb Raider II in Unreal Engine 4. This remake is being created by Nicobass, who has released some new screenshots from it.
Now a lot will be wondering when this fan-made game will be released. Well, unfortunately it won’t happen anytime soon.
As Nicobass wrote:
“Some people asked me how many levels i have done or when the full game will be released, I think they don’t realize that making a video-game like this from scratch takes really many time and even if i spend many time on this I’m not a game studio, it’s not like build a custom level with the old level editor for Tomb Raider (it’s not like modding). The whole game won’t be finished after a few years, so please just stop to ask for a release date, i’m just at the beginning of the game.”
From what we know so far, Crystal Dynamics have given the green light to Nicobass (provided he does not monetize it), so our guess is that this project won’t receive a C&D letter.
I would very much like a tomb raider game in the older style. All focus on skill based platforming with really nice graphics over derp shooter like new games.

This is pointless. They wi shut it down.

I'm surprised that Square or CD are fine with it though.
He obviously stole assets (at least sound effects) from Tomb Raider Anniversary, and its animations (exact same animations).
Not that it's a bad thing because from all the latest TR games, this one is my favorite... but I just don't think he will go far...
He also stole the music from TR2 (it's obvious for a remake, but these days, it's like using mario musics in a game, Nintendo will instantly send a C&D)...
If it's free it doesn't really matter if it reuses those (very old) assets. Either they are okay with the idea of a fan remake or they are not. Then again, perhaps the plan is to replace all that for its release.

We should also note that Crystal Dynamics has embraced this fan remake, so we are pretty sure that Square Enix will not send Nicobass a C&D letter.
*John Cena's are you sure about that.mpeg*
It would be really a positive surprise if true, I've been naively salivating over this project since earlier this year when it was 'unveiled'.
It will probably not see the light anyway, given the amount of work for a single person, but damn, a man can dream. Screw the silly automatized cinematic galleries, make Tomb Raider* great again!
Square Enix should stop being dumb, hire this guy, give him a small team and once it's finished release it as an Anniversary 2 kind of entry in the series.

For being a fanmade project, this looks so good.
And yea, they should him
But they probably won't. As they prefer to release Tomb Raiders with little Lara and some shitty story nowadays.

It looks great but as has been said, it will never get finished. These kind of things are fun projects for people to hone their skills, help them get a job in the games industry or just for because they enjoy doing it but at this pace, it will take 20 years for it to get released. Black Mesa should be a clue here.

Demo is now available. Unfortunately the file is in Google Docs which locked the file, thanks to tons of people downloading it. Hopefully we'll get a mirror soon.
Fan made project you say...hmm...why would someone sit all day in front of the monitor, ruin his eyes, ruin his spine due to the bad posture and give the finished project to the whole world for free ? Mr. Spock would say, that's not logical !
Made in China is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.
maybe it started just for fun, but those guys who are very talented often get job offers from big companies when they bring out a quality product for the fans
Pretty good, one thing that doesn't help with these new graphics is: where to go. Everything is a lot more rounded and since it's been at least 10 years since I last played the first one... there were moments I had to look for a few minutes just to do 1 jump.
Controls feel like back on the Saturn, throwing some frustration in the mix because le button didn't do what I wanted to to do.
Looks amazing and doesnt hold our hand on the platforming like the new tomb raiders, but is it just my 1070 or this game is hot on the gpu? Im hoving on 75ºc and sometimes hiting 80 degrees on more unoptimized areas, but steady 60 fps @ 1080p all maxed out..
