Tomb Raider I - III remaster

Forgot this was coming so soon, looks worth a buy. In a way I’m glad it’s just a remaster because if it was a remake they’d probably ruin it
 
I think the fact it's using the same old engine with a lick of paint means it should be hard for it to be messed up... fingers crossed.
 
I have been hoping for a remaster to bring these classics to PC for years. I heard the current PC versions are a pain to get working with a pad. It'll be nice to be able to just load it up with no messing around and play through them. I can't wait to hear the music again. Game music from PS1 game era was so good.
 

This is an interesting watch on the rocky development history of the original games. Kinda sucks they forced them to release a new game every Christmas, so the devs all wanted to leave and the new devs didn't have the same passion for the game. You could really tell the difference in quality from the first 2 and then starting to see a shift in 3 and the later games were all terrible.

Pretty favorable reviews on the whole, averaging ~80%. I'm not sure it's one for new gamers but there is plenty of nostalgia to be had for 80's/90's kids here. I'm going to see what my kids think of it, I'm not sure it will pull them away from Fortnight for too long :D

My question is, does it support ultrawide...

Edit*

Found this:

The game support 16k resolution and up to 1000 Hz displays. By default it start full screen, but you can switch to windowed mode by Alt + Enter.
By default it run with high-dpi support, but you able to disable it by "-ldpi" cmd line arg.
For custom window resolution you can use "-width 1280 -height 720"
To disable vsync "-novsync"
To skip all legal ♥♥♥♥ at start "-nolegal" :)

There are no graphics options in game. You can apparently customize a config file to set the resolution but no word on how this works for ultrawide. My guess is it could work but menu screens are fixed at 16:9 so could be distorted.

I've bought it on Switch but would probably have gone with PC had ultrawide been supported.
 
Menus are old school and centred yeah, clearly designed to be used with a controller and the game controls can be changed to modern so mouse look works etc.

From the quick test I did just now, the camera does spaz out and get stuck in narrow areas, the mouse look movement isn't as precise as you might want it to be, and jumping off ledges, like in TII in Lara's home doing the jumping course in the garden, the jump reaction time is quite pants so you end up missing the jumps and have to start again. I can see that being rather annoying but will play it properly later.

My 4090 just about managed to maintain high fps in this though, phew was a little worried :cry:

Thanks, they look awesome. I might have to double dip and get it on PC now too :)
