- Did I kill him? What?
- This is nothing like the other one.
♪ (8-bit intro) ♪
- (FBE) Today, you're gonna be playing this.
- Tomb Raider, okay. This is a classic.
- I know they're making a new one and I know
this is an old school, really popular game
back in the day.
- Oh, this is Playstation 1, dude. This is just before my time.
- (FBE) But, we're not just having you play that today.
- Oh, Rise of the Tomb Raider. The 20 year celebration.
This old.
- The first thing you see are the graphics,
how crazy it is from the PS4 to this.
- (FBE) Today, you'll be playing both a small section
from the first title released in the franchise in 1996,
as well as the latest released in 2016 to see how
the franchise has evolved over the course of 20 years.
- This is cool. My brother's gonna be
so jealous.
- They probably were back in the day like, "Oh man,
the graphics in this game are insane.
Can't get any better." But we say that literally
every year. They do every single year.
- That's cool, 'cause normally you guys just give me
the most recent game and then they're like,
"Have you ever played the old one?"
And I never do, so I get to see both.
- Oh my God. Oh wait, it's just the D-pad.
What?
- Jeez, I can't even run right. Okay, there we go.
- Okay, so triangle is to draw your guns.
How do you shoot? R1?
- (FBE) X. - X.
Ooh, listen to those sound effects.
- This is the fastest she runs? Did I just die?
Okay, no. I just lost a lot of health, though.
Ooh, is that a wolf? Wait, why isn't it--
oh, X is to shoot. Okay, cool.
- Okay, ah. I love the sounds.
This game is way ahead of its time.
- It definitely takes my brain a second to process
all these old graphics so I know what I'm looking at.
All right, let's go.
- No. Clutch.
- Wow, these graphics are-- everything's moving.
- Okay, can I go up?
- Oh, okay. See dude, it's like how?
You can't even see that until you get really close to it.
- Oh, she can jump high.
- Oh my God, she hops like she should play basketball.
- Okay, if Nathan Drake could jump this high,
that would have been so helpful throughout those games.
There we go. Oh, a medkit!
- Grab it. How do I use it?
- (FBE) To use the health, you'll have to go
into your menu with select.
- Ah. Okay, cool.
Thank you, dead person for having that backpack on you.
- Oh my God. It's just a struggle
just to make her walk forward.
- Oh Jesus, that's a dinosaur. What the fudge?
- What? Oh my God.
I didn't know there were dinosaurs in this game.
- Oh, I hear fancy music. Oh, what the heck is that?
- Oh my God, nope, nope. Bring 'em out.
Oh my God.
- That's a T-rex. Oh, he's gonna kill me.
- Where's Jeff Goldblum when I need him?
Ah, ah. Dodge, weave.
- He's gonna eat me. He's gonna eat me.
Oh my God, I tried to tuck and roll.
I wasn't in time.
- Jump. Oh, nope.
I just got consumed.
- I hope they start me from where I fight this guy,
'cause I have to get there which was a struggle.
- Whoo, this games-- I have to go all the way back.
- All right, bring it you turd sandwich.
Okay, hey look, that was easy.
Now just to deal with the giant one.
Is this where the entrance was? Or is this another one?
This is a different one. Oh, he's back.
Oh, Jesus. Where did you come from?
- I gotta get to high ground. He's tall, but he's not that tall.
Ooh, I found it. What?
There's no way he fits in that small little space!
- I'm just hiding to come right out
and then I try to jump back in
as soon as I hear him. Come on.
Oh my God. Did I kill it?
- Take your guns back out. I don't know--
Did I kill him? What?
This is the proudest moment. I wanna thank my mom.
- I can see why this was fun back in the day.
Would I go out and buy this and replay it?
No.
- The mission itself was really easy.
What makes it hard, again, is the graphics.
We're not used to it. Back then, just trying
to get a camera angle right was so bad
and so that's what made it hard.
- (FBE) So, now that you've had a taste of Tomb Raider
for the PS1, we're gonna let you try the first fifteen minutes
of the latest game, Rise of the Tomb Raider.
- Okay, I can already see by the menu screen
that the graphics are much different.
- Ooh, it looks so pretty.
- You can already tell the difference between
the background. You can actually tell what it is.
- I don't even want to start the game, I just wanna watch
the cutscenes.
- Oh, wow. This is gameplay.
It looks fantastic actually. Jeez.
- This is making me nervous. I hate heights.
Oh my God, the wind is gonna walk me straight
off the hill.
- Oh, here we go. Quick time events, I'm ready.
- Quick time event. There we go.
- Okay. Just that graceful,
she just hops up these hills.
- All right, we're good. Climbable walls?
Oh, this one.
- Back then, they were limited in what they could do
with a level, and now it's like they can add so many
different scenarios to different levels that it
makes it a little more complicated than back then.
- Jump. Nice.
- This feels great. These controls are fine.
I don't feel like I'm bumping into everything.
- All right, we're gonna hold L and we're gonna press X.
Grab him. Boom.
- Jesus. He's just like, "I got you."
- This is so much more pleasant. This is like--
I understand everything that's going on.
Everything doesn't look like it's melting
and I don't think there's dinosaurs in this one.
They're gonna just murder me.
- I had to wait 'til I got excited for the T-rex.
This one, I'm excited and I'm literally just walking around.
- (man) Feels pretty solid here, but keep close to the wall.
- I would never.
- Ooh, hugging the wall just like every other
Uncharted game. It seems kind of funny
to compare this to Uncharted when I'm sure Uncharted
was very much inspired by this.
- See, I'm catching the hang of this.
This is so cool.
- Oh no!
I even get excited just looking at the falling ice.
- This is like a whole other game. This is nothing like the other one.
- This is way-- oh, she's gonna jump?
All right.
- Wee! Dude, oh.
Oh, I got it.
- This chick is so badass. She just goes for it.
- It's so cool too, seeing that there's a girl
doing these.
- Bye. Ow.
Hitting solid rock would probably break a lot of bones.
- That's a strong dude. He's holding one axe
and he's holding her.
- It's Lara Croft, she could do it, though.
- (man) Come on, Lara. - Oh my God,
do I have to swing back and forth to get high?
- Whoo.
- I made it. Something tells me
he's not gonna make it.
- Oh, avalanche. Exactly what I needed.
There's so much more chaos I feel like, in this game.
Even though the other one had dinosaurs,
this one is just crazy already.
- Oh God, do I have to jump? Hold on, hold on.
Okay, there we go.
- This is so intense. Guys, I think you guys
might have gotten me hooked on a video game.
- Grab it. Oh, okay.
- Jesus.
Oh nope, not today.
- Oh, okay. Ah, I'm confused, I'm confused.
- I bet the people who developed this first game
couldn't even have dreamed of doing something like this.
Oh [bleep], no. Grab it.
Oh my-- Ah.
- Go up. Oh my God.
- Where's my friend? Where'd he go?
- Oh my gosh.
- Ooh. I'm a natural, guys.
I'm a natural.
- (FBE) That is where we're gonna stop you today.
- Yes, this was fun! Oh my God,
this was cool.
- It's hard not to like a good adventure.
I was never really curious before, 'cause I was just
kind of like, "Oh, it's like Uncharted."
But now I wanna play it.
- I would play this game. Me, I'm not a super big gamer,
but this was simple enough and this gives me hope
to play games by myself.
