Richard Croft in the music room?

[Arctic]

Ok, this is a weird bug/glitch, but before you get too excitet: Lara's father isn't standing somewhere in the music room.

But you people probably remember the picture of Lara's mother and father in the main hall in the Croft Manor, right?
Go to the music room (the room with the piano, harp and weird push-on-a-button-instrument), and stand at the table in the middle of the room. Then change the camera angle so Lara is underneath you. There should hang a chandelier above Lara, and if you try to look at the top of the candles you will see the picture of Richard from the main hall at the top of the candles :p
I know this is a very little detail, but I'm just wondering why on earth the picture of him is there..? :scratch:

Would someone, who plays TRA on a computer, take a screenshot of it, please? :) I can't take any, 'cause I'm playing Anniversary on a PS2.

[Mr Croft]

Really cool.
I must try that.
Can anyone post a screenshot of it?

[Jurre]

Sounds like a totaly crazy story. So I looked and:... what the ****ens???

Her father by the way reminds me of Matthew Rhys:

Thanks, Jurre.

[caiounder]

this is pretty interesting :D

[toughraid3r37]

cool I'm going to try this. Maybe it's a glitch though. hmmm :scratch:

[Arctic]

Thanks for posting the screenshot, Jurre.
It's pretty strange isn't it? :lol:

[Jurre]

No problem - its bizarre indeed

[Love2Raid]

Wow! I´ve just tried this and for me it´s the same. That´s just SUPERWEIRD!!:eek:

[Love2Raid]

I´ve just checked the one in the bedroom and guess what.............:lol:

[Mr Croft]

I wonder why is in there :scratch: :p

[toughraid3r37]

I checked and it's true. Weird lol. He's on all of the lights that look like that actually. :p

[Arctic]

@ Love2Raid - What? :D

[Love2Raid]

C 4 yourself!!

:rasp:

[TwinPistols]

:lol: :eek: :confused:
I think Richard Croft spirit likes chandeliers...

[Rachie]

I´ve just checked the one in the bedroom and guess what.............:lol:

Seriously? On all the chandeliers? Lara, stop looking - YOUR DAD IS IN YOUR HOUSE. :lol:

Why on earth is that there? Textures gone wrong, or some weird clue? :lol:

I'll most definitely try that out.

[Arctic]

C 4 yourself!!

:rasp:

I can't. My PS2 is in my father's house and I'm in my mothers house now :p
So I will first be able to check it at tuesday.

[Love2Raid]

Ooooooooooooh...............:rasp: !!!

O well, I could post a screenshot, but I can already tell you that it's not any different from the one in the music room.

I wonder if it means anything, like a clue or something. That would be cool, wouldn't it? But I guess it's just a glitch (or whatever you call it) or creators' lol. :(

[kdcdn001]

hey, I tried, but havin no luck on seeing what you all seein lol... You stand on the table in the middle of the room and just look up? What do you mean about the camera angle? I'm playin on 360, maybe it's differentfor certin platforms? who knows...lol

[Love2Raid]

You stand on top of the table (in the bedroom or the musicroom) en use the camera to get an angle 'from above'. So you look at lara (and the chandelier) from above. Check the screenshot Jurre made.

Richard Croft was extremely vain so he special ordered candles with his face on them.

[Cheese is nice.]

Perhaps it is his reflection? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm . . .

[Jurre]

Richard Croft was extremely vain so he special ordered candles with his face on them.
Hahaha....... yeah... that made me grin :D

[Arctic]

Richard Croft was extremely vain so he special ordered candles with his face on them.

*Lara's old 'pick up sound'* Aha! Lol :lol:

[ratsforcandy]

He's looking down on her, duh. Haha, just kidding, but that's a cool find.

[Arctic]

@ ratsforcandy - It's a very random find :lol:

[xxsub-zeroxx]

mint i shall try that.

[Lara_Super_Fan]

wow!
this is pretty interesting :D

there's nothing interesting about it. It's just a glitch.

[Tomb-Dude]

@ Lara super fan - It's a pretty cool glitch, don't put a downer on every one else ;)


I'm going to try it later on the ps2 :D

[Arctic]

@ Lara_Super_Fan - It's a glitch yes, but it's still interesting :rolleyes:

[Cheese is nice.]

Well that's not creepy at all . . .He IS always watching.:D

[Kid-Croft]

wow!! :eek:

[Lawrence Croft]

OMG is that creepy.

I used TRFly to cruise up there and snap a picture from a less obscure angle.

It’s like they are all little Richard-Candles

I'M MELTIIINGGG...

It’s not a glitch really in the typical sense of unexpected behavior of computer code. It’s a mis-applied texture, (very -very- common in the mapping biz), and no one noticed it until Arctic came along.

Nice find (creepy but nice) Arctic. :)

[Arctic]

Thank you Lawrence Croft :) And nice picture ;)
I was like "What the..!?" when i discovered it :p
