Realese you feelings of Kurtis,
I'm am member of lots of Tomb Raider forums and I've seen lots of people realesing there feelings about him. Please don't say bad stuff about him, make a thread for haters.

We can't be mezmerized by Kurtis Trent, and then just put him aside, we need more!!!!

By the way he is just a polygon character so no one can merry him.

So, how much do YOU love him.......

Pictures etc aloud

Kurtis was alright, I think Core may have shoved him in people's faces a bit too much, that's why there was a backlash against him. But eh, the Lux Veritatis was a interesting hook and you gotta love that scene right before he fights Boaz

"Let me give you a boost Lara."

Oh oh and the Lourve was nice when he "disarmed" Lara! Lucky guy!

I cosplayed him at Dragon*Con last year. I was surprised so many people actually knew who he was.

Doubt he'll be back in Legend though

[Evil_Ness_Croft]

Kurtis is okay! I like him! I think it was a good thing that Lara had to work with someone else. I really don't understand why a loooot of tr fan hates him!


I want him back in TR:Legend!!

( I know... he probably won't coming back ) so sad..

hey Handsome B! your Kurtis pics are really great!! ^^

Thank ya ma'am! You are both sweet and a horrible liar.

I wonder who Lara will be talking to in Legend on that headset mic of hers? Zip maybe? Gawd I hope not; "Woohoo Girl! Yo' so sharp yo' gonna cut yo'self!!"

[Evil_Ness_Croft]

I don't lie! You are a great Kurtis!! http://forum.tombrai...tyle_emoticons/default/smile.gif

and the headset thing... maybe is the undead Von Croy http://forum.tombrai...tyle_emoticons/default/shiftyph34r.gif ... Or maybe Kurtis!! ^^

I'm wondering as well too. Guess we'll all just have to wait and see until the game's released.

Anyway, I though Kurtis was cool but the only I didn't like about his character was his movement. He was very slowww. Had he been quicker in the game he's character surely would have been better. And I thought we could use that Chirugai in the game as well..that would've been one hello of a weapon! I don't hate him at all he was just very slow.

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

I agree with you 110% Lady Croft. He was as stiff as a board, he esp. looked silly while he was in a crouch. The Chirugai was also a major let-down. Core went on and on about how you would be able to use Kurtis' occult powers and he just used them either automatically or during cutscenes. That would have been great to use his telekentic throw to slam those sanitarium mutants into the wall.

I bet Core did want to develop him more, they just ran out of time. Just like all the other half-baked features in the game; no dual pistols, no silencers and laser sights like we were promised, irrelevant skill evolution & sneaking systems, etc. etc. etc.

Ran out of time?? Are you kidding me!? They had (more than) 2 years to develop AoD.

[Evil_Ness_Croft]

you're totally right! http://forum.tombrai...tyle_emoticons/default/smile.gif

[Jana]

They didn't use the full 2 years. Do you remember the first images of "next generation", they were completely different. (see attachment)

However you are right, come to think of it, the pictures they showed us when the website came online for the first time (Louvre, Hall of Seasons, Backstreets, Serpent Rouge...) showed the scenery the way it was 1 1/2 years later, when the came came out. I wonder what they did during this time. Because Prague seemes pretty unfinished to me, like they did that on the last day... But the the rest of the Paris part wasn't that long... They must have had a major problem with the engine or something, otherwise I cannot imagine why they didn't finish on time.

Oh I'm not arguing that they worked efficently and ran out of time, whatever happened, (we'll never know exactly) was Core's fault. I have no sympathy for them at all and Eidos was right to turn the series over to Crystal Dynamics.

Sure Core should have been able to deliver a quality game to us in the development time they had. I think they were trying to incorporate too much stuff, remember how they promised us the moon? They did not deliever on any of the features we were promised and the game was buggy as hello too. I doubt if they they were given an extra year that the game would have been much better? They shouldn't have tried to make AOD into a sneaking game like Metal Gear...or an adventure game like King's Quest...just make a Tomb Raider game (((&*(&^*!

I'm just glad to see that everyone is optomistic about Legend, I have a feeling that it's going to be 1996 all over again!!

I couldn't have said it better myself.

[Diamond]

Kurtis was a great part of AOD but is confusing that he is a baddie helping lara out! over all Kurtis was a good person to play but just alittle to slow..

[Kitti]

Awww, I loved Kurtis!!! I didn't even KNOW people hated him! I think by adding him into AoD they made me love it even more http://forum.tombrai...tyle_emoticons/default/smile.gif .

[Diamond]

yeah.. i'm pretty sure Kurtis would get his own game.. http://forum.tombrai...tyle_emoticons/default/wink.gif

cool pictures!

[aaab]

I dont know why they put kurtis in it.
lara is fine on her own and tombraider legend looks good without him

[jsc]

Kurtis: Your wasting time, I can take care of her.


During that part in the cutscene I was screaming " NO I CAN'T"

[PippinTheJediKnight]

I think Kurtis is a nice guy and good looking.I seriously seriously hope they bring him back in legends.

P.S: In the headset, Lara is talking to Zip and someone named Allister. I have watched the inro movie and it looks cool. http://forum.tombrai...tyle_emoticons/default/smile.gif

[Kadry]

kurtis was ok, but we knew too less about him. that makes him unreliable when playing him in those 3 levels. we are used to Lara, but Kurtis is still a stranger...

moreover Kurtis was slow :/
