Whaaaaa. Amazing

This is all I’ve wanted

Hopefully we get a PS5 release

I guess the others will be another trilogy or something.

Wtf do people think a REMASTER is?
This remaster went way above expectations. New models and textures for everything, switching between old and new, it looks gorgeous and a beautiful package.
You want a remake, go play Anniversary. There's literally a perfect remake of the original already, and it had a HD port.
This is to play the originals on modern consoles, touched up gloriously. Since, you know, you can't actually play PS1 games on modern TVs.
Some people are just woefully ignorant to anything except their own little unrealistic expectations. Drives me nuts.

[VersusDMC]

Especially since this game is 30$.

I would understand complaining if it was 60...but come on.

This has been confirmed for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC

I don’t get it - they’ve made a game from 1996 look like a game from 2001. I would guess it has the same old controls. I’m not seeing anything exciting here

Man the PS1 flat graphics really stand out in the environments, still a decent improvement here though. Then you get people saying stuff like "remasters don't upgrade the graphics, just resolution" which is obviously not true. I still say there's no clear cut definition of the word remaster, since some developers actually put effort in to do the graphics up.. *cough* unlike MGS.

[isarai]

Just because you don't know the difference doesn't mean "there's no clear cut definition". If the game is using mostly the original assets including controls, physics and geometry, and focuses mostly on resolution and performance upgrades, that's a remaster, if it's using mostly rebuilt assets, that's a remake. Some remasters have some remade models (like this game) but it's still just a remaster, just like adding CGI elements to a later releases of a film (like Star wars) doesn't mean the film has been remade.

Finally after many many years TRUE Lara Croft is back!

[SimpleSlave]

Who remastered this? Gameloft? This thing be looking like Shadow Guardian. Eww!

But thanks the gaming gods that the originals are still here, though. So it's all good...I think.

We'll see, I guess...😐

[Software_Lover]

I would actually like for these games to be remade, in the vein of Halo CE, with a change to modern control schemes also. That would be an instant buy for me.

[darksky]

Remastered these days means increasing the resolution it seems. Emulators have been doing it for years.

[Firebrand]

That's the visual analogy to the original definition of remastering from the audio industry, actually. It was the game industry/culture that broadened "remaster" to include fully remade assets.

[isarai]

That's literally the definition of a remaster, always has been

[Dandizzle]

Rose colored glasses lol.

I loved those games back in the day, man they where very difficult. If you have played any recently, you would know they have aged really poorly just in terms of gameplay.

[Chocoburger]

I recently beat Tomb Raider 1 on PS Vita, and I hated it, but I forced myself through it just to get it done.
I'm currently playing Tomb Raider 2, and yet again. I hate it. The controls, paper-thin story, constant cheap kills, enemies with no actual intelligence, frustrating design where door switches and levers are the same color as the wall so they're easy to miss, overly long and boring levels. Ugh, I haven't picked it up in awhile, because its just so boring.

These are games that haven't aged well not because of the graphics, but because of everything else. They were bad games when they were released, but people looked past it because of 'Hottie McBigTits', but that doesn't cut it anymore.

Why not remaster or at least port TR Legend, Anniversary and Underworld? The ps1 are horrible to control and play.

[CrimsonWing69]

I love that you can toggle between the regular version and updated version. I feel like all Remasters should do that.

[FYouDad]

The Last Revelation should have been included it's far better than TR3.

[-Foxtrot]

Probably saved for the next trilogy

The Last Revelation
Chronicles
Angel of Darkness
