Both of these games use a really old and outdated lighting system so these videos should give us an idea of what we can expect from older games using the new Reshade mod."
Without Jurassic Park: Trespasser, we may never have had Grabbed By the Ghoulies. Or Halo, Gears of War, and the rest.
A prelude to many things it was not the foundation or keystone for Xbox like at all. Also, Trespasser failed because the focus was his really, really bad physics engine stacked on top of a dog turd shaped like a dinosaur game. So if your saying this is honorary foundation material? no, it was just something in the portfolio.
Also hot at the time were Sin and Half Life. Trespasser was thrashed for a reason and it was not because those two were better, it was just a lazy cash grab with this doof’s horrible physics project being the selling point. Bury that dinosaur
For all the faults with trespasser there's a reason why people now make videos and opinion pieces on the game of how many decades in the future that game tried to be, not graphically but in terms of it's ideas.
Whilst I didn't agree with youre take, props for mentioning Sin. Those games along with Kingpin were a great era in gaming lol
Trespasser could have been a trailblazing game that set new standards, if everything hadn't gone horribly wrong.
But I think the game is kinda charming, despite everything or because of it? Completed it once and it can be very atmospheric and sometimes quite tense (the arm doesn't help ease the tension).
I kinda want an indie survival horror game designed around that horrible arm idea.
They are really trying their best to keep Xbox relevant in the gaming news. Xbox's decision to release more games multiplatform are really taking and effect and now it sounds like Xbox hopes it'll cause a January 6, it's almost like the same idea, incite a riot. Stir everyone up and not have to be the sad sucker that goes down alone. Misery loves company. This is getting nasty. Xbox fans are still in a fitted rage, like they learned to do when they were a kid to throw a fit in hopes to eventually get what they want or as an adult in jail that keeps kicking the door until someone shows up to tell them NO again, because that's the only way to try and get what they want.
Xbox fans don't want it to play it necessarily, they just want it to make them feel better about feeling bad, but PlayStation and Nintendos business strategy isn't the same as Xbox, people can't seem to understand that Xbox aren't the trailblazers. They're the the failures that are trying to think of how to survive when nobody can trust them anymore. So, you're getting random stuff like this to try and keep Xbox on the mind.
Really, it's not like Xbox fans have anything to worry about. It's not like Xbox gave competing platforms anything of value. It's their low tier games. It's not Halo, Gears, Forza, or I would say something from Bethesda, but yeah right, PlayStation has Skyrim, Doom, Quake, Elder Scrolls Online, etc. There's still a lot of Bethesda software on Sonys machine. Just let things go how they're going to go. YOURE NOT GETTING HELLDIVERS 2, ITS A SONY OWNED IP! THE ONLY REASON YOU GOT MLB THE SHOW is because MLB pressured Sony or they'd strip them of their license, not that anyone else was clamoring to fill the void, they wouldn't have had anyone, so it went and Xbox gave away Sonys game for free. Then you have Destiny, which could come to an end, as Bungie stated they wanted to remain platform neutral as part of the agreement so, it stayed that way, unless Sony now steps in and takes over, we'll see but, it's Sonys IP. Just because Xbox wants to go that route doesn't mean Sony and Nintendo should, let it go
We've gone on many adventures with Lara Croft. With another reboot in the making, Wealth of Geeks felt it was a good time to go down the nostalgia rabbit hole and remember the best of those tomb-raiding thrills.
I do agree that Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness was the worse one 😂 I remember playing some of it and I took it back. That game was just awful in every way. I bought it used at gamestop and glad they had that 7 day return policy for used games 😂
Simple. He's been hating on the Tomb Raider reboots for years. I can't imagine seeing them at the top of a best TR game list let alone being on the list in general sitting well with him because of it.

“Hating”
No no, just pointing out how TR mutated into a generic action adventure game losing the appeal of what it once was when it was more about puzzles and platforming over going Rambo, slaughtering waves of enemies
But hey, continue being a dick and speaking about me like I’m not going to see the comment.
Foxtrot, I'm curious if you have played the most recent games. Sure the 2013 reboot was hugely focused on combat, but each follow up became less and less about combat to the point where outside of a few large scale story missions I don't even remember combat being a part of shadow of the tomb raider. Shadow was so puzzle focused it actually was a bit much for me and I love the TR puzzles.
I still feel like Rise was the best of the series and I was a huge fan of the originals. To me it struck the perfect balance of exploration, platforming, puzzles, and combat. Not saying your opinion is wrong I'm just curious what you think they should have done different. Games do need to evolve somewhat to stay relevant. Would you prefer small linear jumping platform levels like the original?
I think Shadow wasn't even develop by crystal dynamics. I thought it was the worse in the new trilogy
That's right. Shadow was developed by Eidos Montreal who who went and made Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy next. (Great game)
Meanwhile after Rise of the Tomb Raider, Crystal Dynamics made Marvels Avengers. (bad game)
For me, Legend should be alot higher (along with the other two ). Shadow, I enjoyed it, but has too much has fluff, as modern games tend to do. Playing the remastered series, and apart from the controls, is very good.
I really enjoyed the first 2 games, Legend and the first of the reboots and the rest I didn’t get into so I never finished.
Completely subjective list. I really liked Underworld, I preferred Lara's design. That said I loved the horror/uncharted feel of the reboot. I think all the TR games have strengths and weaknesses. None are objectively better in every way.

And ever since then every developer from Konami to Telltale has tried to make the films into a video game. The developers were so concerned with whether or not they could, they never stopped to consider whether they should. Welcome to every Jurassic Park Game ever made ranked from worst to best."
It's funny I was a big dinosaur fan as a kid but I only ever played JP 1 (NES), JP II (SNES) and JP Rampage Edition (Genesis). I really liked Rampage Edition as you got to play a raptor trying to escape the Island.
I really enjoyed the evolution games. I platinumed both but I never got the dlc. That’s the planet coaster studio if I’m not mistaken. They are awesome, they brought that shit to consoles in a competent way. As a Jurassic park fan and a sim building fan it was a perfect match. Does anyone know if planet zoo if ever coming to consoles?
When I was a kid I saved up and brought the lost world game on PS1 all I ever wanted was to be a Trex let lose on the city like the end of the movie but man that difficulty I never made it past the 2nd level
Back then with there being no Internet, you needed the codes to access the levels too. And if you didn't have them, you could always keep inputting nonsense into the search until something came up. I remember once inputting the right code for the t rex level but since I didn't write it down, I couldn't play it again when I died. These days it's nothing though to go back and play what you want, when you want.
Jurassic Park Sega CD wasn't even mentioned, so this list isn't "Every". Actually a pretty bad game, but I loved it because I was a JP obsessed kid! XD
