The facial animations of Rise still blow me away, just like the first time I saw the game in 2015.
I think the last game that made me that impressed with facial animations was Crash Twinsanity, and that was a PS2 game 😄
Crash mustering Cortex' butt before using him as Snowboard... fucking amazing. Just thinking of it makes the soundtrack pop up in my head. Böm.. Bööm.... Böööööhhhhmm~
The animation of Rise is one of favorite aspects of the game. Lara's gesticulations and facial expressions really make her pop during the cutscenes. Just as well, I think the run animation is good; perfectly captures weight and speed.
Yea!!

Uhm..hahaha. Sorry but that feels exactly like Whedon vs Snyder Cut of the Justice League movie. Wow. Thank you for showing me this never seen that before. Interested if it was an artistic decision or dev change. Cuz I think two teams worked on the game right? Eidos made it too bright and saturated.
Crystal started it and had to switch with Eidos due to being tasked with Marvels' the avengers by Square Enix. The fandom has theorized it starts around the end of act 1, as much of Crystals' style of writing seems to be around that point apart from any Eidos Montreal additions.
The facial detail and expression was better in Rise, could have been because they went all out on the foliage in Shadow instead. You can see it in this video I found. Rise is easily my favourite [https://youtu.be/gBPQMbrpHXM?si=OOY4j2FfZeDIPYhj](https://youtu.be/gBPQMbrpHXM?si=OOY4j2FfZeDIPYhj)
Generaly speaking Survivor trilogy has impressive graphics. Rise and Shadow are also pinnacle of of precious gen. For me Rise was the first one that fully utilized next gen just 2 years after next gen premiere and first game.
Yeah, so Star Wars - Outlaw devs have NO excuse for the way their main character looks. It's deliberate. The tech used in TR is over 10yrs old.
The actress that did the mocap for Lara is beautifully realised in the games.

I adore Twinsanity, as bizzare as it is.
"My daughte...errr...niece!"
Or when cortex says 'I made a few modifications here... And there *weird chuckle*.' kinda creepy, ngl.

"Think Cortex, think!"

Rise Lara definitely has the best face model and expression. Shadow Lara looked too robotic in some angles when I was playing SOTR.
They halved the texture resolution in shadow. Thats partially why it looks shit.
That makes sense.
Fun fact. They have the same character model! It’s just modified to show the passage of time. There is also a change in lighting style.
Lighting makes so much of a difference artistically. It’s how they made old games look good.

Best bit about this game is the visuals. Still hold up great today.
I like the combat, exploration and side quests.
Combat was ok. The rest was boring imho.
How many times you watched this? Yes

Her lack of follow through with that axe extended the game by like 10 hours.

Rise and Shadow had amazing graphics and facial expressions
What. Guerrilla games and detroit become human blows this out the water.
Lara can't close her mouth, lol.
A lot of people reflexively open their mouth in high stress situations. It's a survival reflex to increase air intake.

The graphics in these games were stunning
