Were they in the first level? I know they were in TR1... oh I remember now they were in level 4 The Lost Valley
Thats the one. Its not exactly the same there were a couple of tigers in the start area there are none that I can find here. Richard Dorton's diary thats a new one too. Its more of an reimagining than a remake from what I can see.
Its still too hand-holdy for me auto-grab every ledge, try to jump off a ledge.. can't do that she flips around and auto-grabs it instead. Frustrating. Still havn't figured out the big jump to escape the start area. Does look nice though.

Auto grab can be disabled in the options.
I've set my xbox360 pad L1 button to walk/grab. For big jumps give lara some space for a run up and then run with full deflection of left thumb stick+R1 button (not sure about keyboard controls, but probably direction+run button again), then press jump just before she reaches the edge. Hold L1 to grab (if you disabled autograb, if not - she'll grab automatically).

I posted some rubbish ones in the screenshot thread.
Just watched a playthrough on Youtube and it looks great. Only little thing I didnt like were the sunglasses as they look a bit silly and would go flying after the first jump. Plus the original didnt have them. Hopefully there might be a few skins to choose if they do make the full game.
Its made me want to play throught the original again, but i remember it being a massive pain last time i tried as there is no controller support

I was glued to this for 2 hours last night, couldn't put it down. A true masterpiece.
I loved the original 3 TRs back in the day but I was too young to fully grasp half of the puzzles, a lot of cheating ensued. That remake looks beautiful though. Venice levels were great, speeding about on the speedboat, battering into everything

I had this conversation not so long ago with a friend.
When you say cheating, how did you cheat? We didn't have the likes of YouTube and the internet wasn't really that accessible back in the mid 90's (it's a serious question)
My mate and I jest about how gaming has made us dumber over the years, games back then seemed to be far more difficult and made you use your brain rather than hold your hand.
This was back in the days when you got cheat codes in magazines or cheat manuals. I remember having what was basically a book full of cheat codes (which were just a combination of button presses in sequence) for hundreds of games. There were loads for TR; unlock all weapons, all levels, unlimited ammo, exploding lara for the lol. Can't remember what else.I had this conversation not so long ago with a friend.

Edit: think there was even a cheat for 'all keys' so if you needed a key for a door and couldn't beat the puzzle to get it, just use the code to get the key. I was roughly 7-9 years old at this time so I doubt I felt bad about it...
I remember putting the TR2 cd into my stereo and playing the audio tracks. One of them was the sound of a shower and Lara saying, in a sultry voice, "Don't you think you've seen enough?" followed by a gunshot.I had this conversation not so long ago with a friend.

This was quite exciting for 15-year old Cheesyboy. I imagined this was the fabled "nude Lara " secret. Used cheat codes to level-skip to the finale. Was disappointed to find it wasn't as revealing as hoped
