It's so good to see other people feel this way about this game too. It truly is an underrated gem with a lot of potential!

Yep AOD is my favourite tomb raider game hands down, even with all the flaws. It had such potential!

I wouldn't worry. We're not in the same class.

Zat kind of attitude won’t get you far round here zweet sing

Oh so in the German one Janice is bitchy to her first. The Janice X Lara thing kinda gave a TR3 sophia tea

@@cameronrowe5595 what can i get for you sherrie?

Thank you! Yeah it's very frustrating because it's simply my stutter and not my mastery of the language per se. XD but thank you that's very sweet❤

yup people call it the worst but really its the best when u get this mod to make it make sense and playable the levels are awesome especially the hall of seasons tough but sooooo gooood

Because they are the only ones who want it. No-one is crying out for an Angel of Darkness remake outside of the very tiny and passionate community that still clings to the idea of what it could've been. Everyone else moved on twenty years ago. There's no market for a remake, they'd spent hundreds of millions developing a game for what, tens of people?

Thanks so much!

Thank you! ❤

Glad you love it!

@@BonicStudios I’m amazed, thank you for your dedication and for have worked on this for the past three years ❤️ This is what the IP owners should’ve done paying people to do it. I wish I could help you and Reborn with the projects but my programming skills are limited ☹️

@@Frjttr thank you so much for those sweet words!

@@BonicStudios truth ❤️ Keep up the amazing work

Don't worry I will! And thank you!!

Thank you!

That's great to read!

Ah wat lief dank je wel! Ik hoop dat je ervan geniet. Veel speelplezier!

@@BonicStudios Dat gaat zeker goed komen, AOD is mijn favoriete Tomb Raider game namelijk (ja, echt waar). Nogmaals bedankt voor al jullie harde werk, het verdient absoluut alle waardering die er maar zijn kan (gegeven dat er zo ongelofelijk veel zaken zijn die aangepakt moe(s)ten worden), en het is belangrijk dat jullie weten dat er veel mensen zullen zijn die hier enorm blij van gaan worden (ook al hoor je dat misschien niet altijd terug).

​@@MdB92 ook mijn favoriet! Het is altijd moeilijk uit te leggen maar ik vond juist het hele 'urban' gedeelte met Louvre en de straten van Parijs zo vet. Ik ben er mee opgegroeid en het was echt een groot deel van mijn jeugd.

@@citroenboter Helemaal mee eens, en heel herkenbaar bij mezelf ook :) Het voelde allemaal zo fris, nieuw, en spannend. Een soort Tomb Raider 2.0, op het gebied van graphics, verhaal, sfeer (duister), omgevingen (bijv. de straten van Parijs en het Louvre museum, net wat je zegt), en muziek. Plus, Lara's uiterlijk (bijv. de 'denim look') en houding (zo lekker 'sassy') in dit spel waren natuurlijk geweldig. Tuurlijk was de besturing een enorme teleurstelling in het begin, maar ik was daar eigenlijk best snel overheen en aan gewend (alleen bepaalde levels, zoals de Hall of Seasons en Boaz' Returns, waren haast niet te doen voor mij, de rest speelde prima weg), dus vandaar dat AOD toch mijn favoriet is. Bedankt voor je reactie!

Yes, given its a metro station it want it to look like one. I looked on the internet what lines would be close to the real life location, but I don't know how busy they are of course. If you give me a number that makes more sense, or the exact way to write it down please do. I will change it for future releases. About the hand: yes I know this. It's so strange. To make them look more consistent I did already deliberately remove the finger nails from the lift one, but changing these models is not possible at the moment. If I could, I would already have made them consistent. Looks like you're also someone with a great eye for detail. Thanks for the feedback!

@@BonicStudios hi! Again, amazing work :) Hmmm I think the game is located in the 21st arrondissement of Paris? Or is it the 11th? If you look at the street signs. The 21st arrondissement doesn't exist. And the buildings in the first levels also don't look very Parisian. It's a blend of Paris, London, generic European city and... A factory? Such blends would be found near the edge of the city. But it's also located near the river so that would place the levels close to districts 15/16 or 12/13. But 15/16 are too close to the Eiffel tower compared to how small it looks in the skybox. I don't think an abandonned metro station would have a line number. But if you do want to put one. I'd suggest 8bis. It would match the fictional location. Real life line 8 goes through the 11th and 12th arrondissement. I think the 15th as well. You can check how the real lines 3bis and 7bis are written :)

@@corentinguillo5577 considering the river section clearly depicts Pont des arts et pont neuf i turned it into the first arrondissement. Yes the buildings don't look correct but i thought it made most sense to base it on the river. It's also how i derived the newly added Eiffel towers location in the levels. Which is also very convenient because that allows it to be seen in the ghetto ending cutscene and in the graveyard and when exiting LSR (though due to geometry not being editable sadly couldn't properly be implemented yet into the skybox)

@@BonicStudios the first arrondissement is one of the few arrondissements where it can't take place in my opinion. It just looks way too out of place. There are tons of bridges in Paris. I have a hard time seeing the levels specifically taking place near Pont des arts and pont neuf? My opinion is that it would be taking place in the 12th near the 13th. There you can see Haussmannien buildings and brick buildings and newer buildings (newer as in 80s/90s). It's also not far from the railways were you can indeed see industrial buildings. And of course, it's near the river. But again, the location is completely fictional so if you think it's taking place in the first... Why not haha! Go for it, it's your baby after all ☺️

Thanks so much!

Only thing is, it wasn’t a turd. Has some serious issues, but it’s arguably my favourite TR in terms of locations, story, and aesthetic. And the fact people still put so much effort into making all these improvements is indicative of that.

@@Outereme123 Tbh, people having to put so much effort sort of prooves it's a turd. I mean I can understand the potential it had, I can understand what it "could" be... but it is what it is. I am not justifying what Eidos did with this project but Core also had like 4 years to work on this and instead of a solid gameplay/control they focused on so many little details that very little of people notice and uncover after more than 20 years. Most people love the lost and unreachable potential of AoD instead of loving AoD itself and they can't differentiate those two.

@@emircan457 very well put, i wanted to love AoD but jut couldn't. Still respect the fanbase's efforts to bring old Lara back

The camera or character? I didn't think the character controls were any different across playforms 🤔 There are two options for the camera. one is for use with a controller the other for keyboard.

@@DarioDarrow PS2 ver uses full analogue controls I. e hold left of the thumb stick she turn left and goes that way. Pc has the original tank controls from prior games where press left means she turns on the spot to face that way

The Definitive Edition fully supports classic tank controls for keyboard and camera relative controls for use with Xbox or playstation controllers with s great control scheme!

@@maroonstarsface Ahh that's why I abandoned it in 2003 then 😅 trying to jump near the Mona Lisa was driving me crazy.

@@DarioDarrow do have to say it is different with controlling her in the Ps2 version and the PC version. I have both copies complete in box. I just beat AOD on PS2 and now modding the PC version with patches, like glasses, recovery patch and dual pistols. Also got the Beta outfit to work for her. So I’m having fun. I’ll have to try this demo out later on. But even with the recovery patch to make her run faster is driving me crazy… she runs too fast and I’m having to use the walk button way more now.

You probably didn't disable some settings in Steam (see the installation instructions) or you didn't tick the 'Enable' box in the Launcher settings in the tab with your controller's name, or you didn't setup AntiMicroX properly. Please read the installation instructions again.

I do also use JoytoKey when I use the decks these days, I use timecoded vinyl and having a pad to use as a mouse to drag and drop tracks on to decks works very well

This demo is very specific in its instructions and actually provides AntiMicroX for usage with it, complete with controller presets and all! I love to use InputMapper myself for other games as Steam loves to cause problems with most other programs I’ve used 😢

The actual demo release fully supports PS and Xbox controllers with camera relative movement/camera!

That's not something you can do, it would get shut down, but accepting optional donations is another story

Eventually its going to cover the full game, yes! The Definive Edition does however already include a huge load of improvements for the rest of the game from Louvre Storm Drains onwards, which is basically the Restoration Project 1.3.0. These levels just aren't remastered yet or fully finished yet.

Nice!

Yes, you'll need only this!

lol

That will come in future releases!

​@@BonicStudios Awesome!

@BonicStudios is there a way of implementing spatial audio into the club music for better immersion? For example the distance between Lara and the speakers or walls in between would change the frequency you hear the music, similar to the Berlin Night club from Hitman 3. Is that doable at all? Also, more spatial/surround effects to enemy NPC's in the section would make a huge difference too, i.e reverb. Their voices in the vanilla always merge with the music. I think you've definitely done something to improve this but I think a few more tweaks would make it really immersive. Your work on this is so so cool though. Well done

@@Aceimus1066 No doing stuff like that is not possible with AOD's engine. Believe me, if it was possible I definitely would have added it! At the very least making the music sound a bit more muffled when going downstairs in the club would have been great, but that's not possible either.

@@BonicStudios ah man. It's a shame it restricts your creativity. Such good work on this though. You should definitely be proud of your achievements already!!!

He worked on this too

Yes. The Definive Edition fully integrates Restoration Project 1.3.0. We've been collaborating for years. Many ideas and all audio edits in Restoration Project are my work as well. So the Definitive Edition is Restoration Project + a lot more.

@@BonicStudios Will try this one then

It’s not a remake or remaster. They fixed the bugs, controlls, some Voices etc

​@@henrik4072it actually is a remaster. The textures have all been updated and a lot of graphical things have been fixed and improved. Also the audio has been remastered. It's actually funny to see people thinking the game looks essentially the same. It means I did a very good job at keeping the textures looking the same, but a lot sharper and detailed. Each and every texture has been remade and improved by hand.
