Tomb Raider I - III remaster

It's defiantely a remaster rather than a remake but in all honestly I think that's what I would prefer. Tomb Raider Anniversary was a remake of the first Tomb Raider wasn't it?

Yeah it was, and I enjoyed that in it's own right.

I'm slightly worried about the reception this game is going to receive. I think if you give classic TR (the Core design ones) to a child (or even say someone < 25) they will get frustrated by the controls. As a massive fan of the originals, I'm used to it and the other quirks, such as the odd camera angles.
 
The Core TR games are designed around the grid/block system. One backspace hop is one square, enough of a run up to jump any passable distance even with a ledge grab. Not sure how you'd modernise that for today without remaking the whole lot. Did quite like
Anniversary, though wasn't as special as TR was back in 96
 
Its going to cost £25 apparently unless you have one of the originals on steam in which case a discount applies and its "only" £20. Not sure myself seems a bit steep for a hi poly Lara and a few lighting tweaks.

Aye it's a pain, doesn't always work, gets its knickers in a twist, crashes etc. TR1 was actually alright, but I gave up on TR2, too many issues.
Hmm was ok for me only TR1 was dos 2 was DX7

It said in the description you will be able to swap between original controls and the new not sure how that'll work - move to ledge, press action to climb up the entire wall and do it all for you...

I have TR 1-3 in my Steam library and I just see the 10% pre-order discount in Steam, nothing more.


Edit: actually when I click on the game it says 20% discount, but still says it's a 'PRE-PURCHASE PROMOTION'.

I think it could help sales a little and I'd be surprised if we didn't get one more teaser. I'm looking forward to it too, I also need to decide if i'm getting it on Switch or PC. If there is no physical release then i'll likely get it on PC.
 
I was never a fan of the recent TR trilogy, the best modern TR for me was the Dagger of Xian fan remake of some old TR level (which I never played :cool:)
Hopefully these remakes will be more like -or exactly like- DoX.
