Well, I liked this winter type outfit! Though it is perfect for the colder adventures of Lara's life it never feels as 'heavy' as the original jackets, pants and camouflage suits, what I personally like very much. Found no problems with the meshes or textures, though the ones on the arms looked a bit 'streched', but as you play the game, the outfit grows on you, so it ain't that bad. A good one, would definetly use this for a level of mine!
A great adaption of the Talion monster, and he works pretty much as I remember him from the original game too. The only issue I found was that when Lara died - ie was killed by the beasty the camera view became quite peculiar - I suppose it tried to play the animation of Lara being lifted up by the scorpion and annihilated, but this might be my Lara object, cause I tested this in a random wad. This won't really ruin the game as Lara is dead by then anyway. another thing is that there are no sounds provided - but those who decide to use this for their level will surely think of something themselves. Nicely done!
A wonderful idea for an object somewhat ala 3D Zelda games style, and executed very well too! This replaces the regular suitcases, yet is more suiting for castle, dungeon or more fantasy alike environments, as it would look somewhat odd to find this in a hi-tech laboratory. Maybe the textures could've had more detail, and the light mesh could've been double sided, so you don't see the light from only 1 angle, but otherwise no problems - a great container type to have in a level if required!
A truly impressive effort indeed, maybe not for every environment due to the colour, but one can adjust that on your own if needed. Otherwise - maybe I'd liked to see Lara in the car while driving (though you can see her at several angles and reverse gear), but that's not all that important, and I can't really find any fault here, a great vechicle, one of the best to choose out there!

actually i agree with you eTux, it would be nice to see more of lara... i was considering doing a roll-bar top instead of a canvas one which would give you a much better view, but hey we'll see - maybe i'll whip one up tonight... even though i prolly should get packing...
Not as powerful as the original, but, hey! It works! More or less at least - this spider had his dying animation repeating, but if you have some skills with the animation editor, you can easily fix this yourself, by assigning all the attributes from anim 7 to anim 12 (or maybe simply link the pre-dying animation to 7 instead of 12?) and you should have a properly dying Willard boss. Despite this, nice effort indeed!
As others said - hardly original and has the flaws like the holes in the chest, but they can be easily fixed in meta, and overall, I think the outfit is rather good, and would be a great alternative if you didn't want to go too far away from the original, yet are tired from seeing it in the exact form all the time. Not bad, not bad at all...
I wonder why I rarely give bad ratings? Must be because of outfits like this that really impress me a lot. The textures are great, love the idea of a sword replacing the already well-worn crowbar and overall the Rynn's makeover looks fantastic! The only fault that I could find is that the bit of hear that is on Lara's (Rynn's) forehead dissapears when shooting - otherwise no complaints.
I've seen this outfit in motion in the "Dark Skies" series so to say, and it's one of my favourites so far. The only problem I've noticed is that the torso and head mesh sometimes seem to be 'immune' to the light effects and become a bit darker than the rest of her body.
As other's have said this is a very original "outfit" if it could be called like that. I imagine this outfit really has a future in a spooky level, or maybe in a futuristic one where Lara is disguised in a stealth mode perhaps?
A great outfit based on Trinity! The only fault I could think of was that the cape thingy seemed and WAS stiff and looked a bit clumsy on Lara/Trinity, but I understand there's nothing to be done about that. Now all we need is a matrix based level, where to put this outfit to good use...

A nice outfit, but since it is made for a specific time in a specific season I can't imagine many levels that could use it, and I imagine it would be far too cold for Lara to play around in the snowy/icy settings she has during that time of year too. But the original TR2 tibet outfit was not thought through very well this way either, so this can be tolerated. A nice outfit if you have the level to it.
I've always thought the bear is too cute to kill, but that's not the point here. The bear works very well IMO, and has showed it in numerous levels by now allready :)
A nice remake of the TR 2 Tibet Bomber jacket outfit for TR4. Love the wisp which I've seen in other Tomo's outfits, but there's a problem with the hips you can see when pushing blocks, and doing other things when you should see the connection between Lara's torso and hips, which is not there. Despite that problem, don't see anything else that could hold you up from downloading and using this outfit if you have planned to do so.
Works very well, just like in TR3, have no complaints from here. Too bad that the normal, poison arrows can still be used and the lasersight can still be attached, but those are the things none of s can affect... yet.
A wonderfull adaption of the TR 2 wetsuit, and now makes even more sense with an oxygen tank attached on her back instead of her backpack. What doesn't make sense though is there are no tubes that connect the oxygen with Lara's mouth. Well, OK, other things in TR don't make much sense either, so I think we can forgive this little matter..
