![]() The OpenTomb development team has been very active on the Tomb Raider forums, so gamers will likely be kept updated on any progress made in the open source project. There is no timeline on when that will happen. It might only be a matter of time before players will be able to play the full first five games of Tomb Raider on their browsers. While the City of Vilcabamba is so far the only playable result of OpenTomb and OpenLara, it demonstrates encouraging progress for the open source projects. The level also offers controller support for players who would like to move away from the keyboard and into a gamepad. In addition to the better frame rate, players are given the option to switch to a first-person view, a feature that was not available in the original game. The built-from-scratch engine for the OpenTomb project allows the playable City of Vilcabamba level to operate at a higher frame rate than the original game, which ran at only 30 frames per second. However, this is not the case with the open source engine of OpenTomb. Mods that are still based on the aging engine of the original Tomb Raider will be limited to have no new graphical enhancements, no new features, and no new structures. "The older engine gets, less chance it'll become compatible with further systems but in case of OpenTomb, you can port it to any platform you wish," the developers wrote on the project's GitHub page. What sets apart the OpenTomb project and OpenLara from other existing mods and patches for Tomb Raider is the fact that the open source model builds a new engine from scratch, instead of attempting to clone the original game engine. Lucy OBrien Summary Following up on Crystal Dymanics prequel/reboot to the Lara Croft saga. The level is a legitimate remake of what can be seen in the original game, complete with underwater tunnels and threats that include bears and wolves. Rise of the Tomb Raider takes its predecessors winning formula & improves on it in every way. The playable level, named OpenLara, was created by modder XProger, who was inspired by the OpenTomb project. ![]() The level can even be played in the browsers of mobile phones, though the touch controls could be pretty difficult to master. For those looking to delve back into Lara's world or anybody who is thinking about visiting it for the first time after picking the games up for free from the Epic Games Store, these mods can really enhance the experience, often making these already realistic titles just that little bit more lifelike.While none of the targeted five Tomb Raider games are available to be played in full just yet, the second level of the first Tomb Raider, the City of Vilcabamba, can now be played online on browsers. So much so, in fact, that players continue to make new mods for the games, some of which can completely change and transform the settings and characters.
