This year marks the 20th anniversary of the birth of the female adventurer Laura Crouch and the Tomb Raider series. To commemorate this special day, Square Enix Studios announced that it will launch a special version of the Tomb Raider: The 20th Anniversary Edition of the Rise on the PS4 platform. It's worth noting that this anniversary edition also includes an elaborate VR single-player mission that will be adapted to the upcoming PS VR headset.
"Tomb Raider: The 20th Anniversary Edition" game contains a single story mode called "Blood Ties". Through the VR head display, players can transform into Lara to the rundown Crawford Mansion. The ultimate immersion experience. At last week's Gamescom in Cologne, Square Enix released a game show in a small part of the mansion where visitors can walk around and simply investigate the surrounding environment.
The entire "Blood Ties" single-player mode tells us a short story about Laura's background - after her father committed suicide, her uncle tried to take away the Crawford Mansion, which was originally Laura. In the game, the player will gradually solve the family mystery by playing the young Laura, and inherit the inheritance of his father, which proves that Laura is the real heir.
When I first entered the demo game, we could see Laura's father doing research work in a dark room. The books piled up in the house, and all kinds of garbage filled the bookshelves. "Blood Ties" uses the transfer system to complete the player's movement in the game. By using the DuelShock 4 handle, the player can use one of the buttons to open the transfer mode. After selecting the highlighted movable area, you can click another The button is transferred to the target area. Due to this transfer technique, distance is an irrelevant thing in this game. After reaching the target area, you can use the joystick to control Lara's steering, which is a great help for adjusting your direction in the hallway and finding clues in the bookshelf.
Since the content of the demo game is extremely limited, there is almost no continuous investigation by the experiencers at the meeting. As you explore the house, interactive items will be highlighted, and you can click on the side magnification and rotation options to better view them for evidence. In addition, some tapes may contain Laura's father's memories. So you can find out more about the Crawford family story.
Although this demo is far from the best VR experience that PS VR devices can currently play, it does reflect the depth and breadth of VR technology. In the game, you will be able to step across the huge entry corridor and step onto the giant steps. The game's towering vaulted roofs, brick shattering and dusty visual effects create a luxurious and affluent atmosphere for the game environment. This high-level detailing and polishing is proof of the hard work of the development studio.
Although the performance of the demo is really amazing, it is completely different from the game mode of Tomb Raider in the past 20 years. In "Blood Ties", the iconic movement pattern of the tomb series is completely unrecognized. Of course, Square Enix also suggested that there is still a lot of content in the game that has not been fully developed. Perhaps in the future, this content will inherit the essence of the traditional tomb series game in future VR games.
