Aw man, will miss those pyramids 
Tomb Raider I - III remaster
- Thread starter niggyg
- Start date
This is really well done and i'd love a remake like this but the originals still have a charm to them!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)
Hopefully these remakes will be more like -or exactly like- DoX.

These are remasters, not remakes, so if your hoping for a DoX type release then your in for a disappointment.
Oh no, so somebody's post about triangular boobs was not a joke after all
Wow... I'm curious now how they are going to pull it all off now with this re-release (that's what he said etc)
They look horrendous is why very cheap lazy porting to run in some virtual emulator for Glide-OpenGL
with minimal effort put in...

I can’t help shake the feeling that the enhanced graphics look worst than the originals - and it’s not nostalgia!
We'll see. I thought they had the original source code so i'd hope for more than this!They look horrendous is why very cheap lazy porting to run in some virtual emulator for Glide-OpenGL
Ultrawide support would be nice too.
Looking forward to playing these again on my Switch. My only complaint is that it doesn't include The Last Revelation which IMHO is the best out the lot.
It will be a harsh reminder at just how difficult older games were compared to the dumbed down stuff we get these days.

Really looking forward to this and was nice to get the small discount for having the originals.

Yeah afraid so, all we're getting here is something along the lines of the recent Quake 2 remaster, higher resolution, so think widescreen support, better controls and probably enhanced lighting effects.Oh no, so somebody's post about triangular boobs was not a joke after all
If you want a true remake of TR1 you need to go and play Tomb Raider Anniversary

Yeah but CAPCOM are now putting a new DRM onto even older games which hampers performance by up to 15%, so sod that noise.

These games are my all time favourite's. Lost count how many times I have played these over the years. Haven't played for ages though as they don't seem to run very well on modern hardware and 30fps is a no go anymore.
Hopefully, these games will run at a min of 60fps and over. I hope they stick to the originals as much as they can and not to modernise to much apart from minor graphics and control updates. Looks like it will be just that.
Can't wait.
I never pre-order games but couldn't help myself on this one.

Just enough to whet the appetite
As mentioned earlier they confirm they have access to the original source so it isn't simply a Glide-OpenGL wrapper on some new textures. I guess it depends what you want our of it.

It looks horrendous in that latest behind the scenes PR fluff piece!
Not sure why they think modern gamers will buy those looks like minimal effort or just total lack of understanding around how important decent graphics are to most gamers!
All they had to do was make it look more modern (TR Anniversary struck the right balance!) take the roughness away (limitation of the original technology!). Instead they have made it stand out too much by keeping the original art style (as cheaper than to recreate with more recent graphics!). Clearly its just a cheap remaster streaming the original game polygon data with a few filters thrown on top....they cannot be serious about releasing this for anything other than free either!

I guess it depends what your after - I do worry a little that your right and gamers who are not looking for a nostalgia trip will sidestep this. Whereas if you look at the Spyro or Crash re'makes' they were very playable to new audiences.
For me they have done a remaster in the way I had hoped. If you read (https://www.tombraiderforums.com/showthread.php?t=228324&page=318) after yesterday blog post update then you can see that hardened TR fans are pretty happy with the work.
Still looks a bit iffy to me! https://www.tombraiderchronicles.co...red/tomb-raider-i-iii-remastered-gifs-01.html
Lets see how it turns out only 3 weeks away now!

Plenty more screenshots have been released. Really looking forward to this one!

Not sure what the fuss is about, it looks great to me while maintaining the character. A proper "remake" is not what this is supposed to be, not everyone wants that.
