I really don't know why Square Enix hasn't done a remake trilogy for Tomb Raider I-III like Activision did with Crash Bandicoot and Spyro.

Since then, this talented guy has been working on his fan project and recently released two new screenshots from it."
It bothers me that all people talk about is Lara's design but no one talks about the DINOSAURS! That was the best part of Tomb Raider they took away! I have no idea why they strayed away from cool creatures and went for realism instead.

And even though this is a demo created by a single person, Tomb Raider The Dagger Of Xian is one of the most beautiful games on the PC."

You can download the actual demo and play it.
the demo was better than both new TR games for me
you just can't beat the sense of mystery those old games had
textures on Lara model needs a little work but environments look great
That is because the new TR games hold your hand and the focus is on combat. In the new one you don't get that feeling of isolation, being alone in a tomb. You constantly have this feeling that there is someone always on your tail.
The old ones were harder because of the puzzles and you did not get a hint for what to do next or where to go. You had to figure it out. The focus was on exploration and puzzles. The old ones also made you feel alone and like you are actually exploring old tombs.
oh common,the ROTR had more and better puzzle than the first reboot.The new one also make you feel like you are alone in tombs and of course as you are alone The new games have more action over the old one.I am damn sure they are gonna add more complected physics based puzzle in upcoming TR.
@FrostXVenom
True, RoTR had better puzzles than the first one but those were kind of side quests. Not the main goal. Emphasis is on combat in the new TR games not puzzles. Go and play the original Tomb Raider games and you will see how much supperior they are.
VR mod is coming for this game so im so happy. Glad i bought Oculus bundle deal for only $399
when 20 seconds just won't cut it :P
Amazing how fans can do all of this for free on the PC but the actual publisher can't.
While this is good for him and all, but this line - "has been approved by Crystal Dynamics" is pretty shady.
First off, Crystal Dynamics cannot approve/disapprove a fanmade project, because the property is owned by Square Enix. It's SE who have the right to issue a C&D should they choose to, though historically they have been quite lax on fanmade content.
Secondly, where's the source for this claim, if at all Crystal Dynamics did do ahead and "approve" this?
Lastly, how reliable is this site, dsogaming? Never heard of them before.
21 more seconds until it's shut down
SE owned property. Lawyers are already on the way.
