Remastered

After launching earlier this month, developers Aspyr and Crystal Dynamics have announced that a update for Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered will be coming in the next few weeks. The news was announced in a Steam post that also discussed a recently noticed issue with the Epic Games Store version of the collection. “We thank the passionate Tomb Raider community for your continued support, shares, and feedback on Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered. We’re overjoyed and overwhelmed with the response from the community,” the Steam post…

The remaster of the original three Tomb Raider games was released not that long ago. For PC users, there was a choice between purchasing it on Steam or Epic Games Store. However, there seemed to be some notable differences between the two versions, which the developer has now acknowledged. According to a post from The Gamer a couple of days ago, fans began to notice that Tomb Raider I-III Remastered was different on EGS than on Steam. For starters, the Epic Games version had different skyboxes in places like the…

If modern games are sports cars – flashy, fast, expensive and noisy – the original Tomb Raider is a shopping trolley: clunky, slow and not much to look at. Cumbersome to operate, especially if you’re used to automatic gears and sat nav. Quiet, apart from the odd squeaky wheel. Absolutely brilliant at doing what it was designed to do. And yours for a quid.Well, £24.99, which is the asking price for Tomb Raider I-III Remastered. This offering includes Lara Croft’s first three adventures from 1996-98, plus the expansion…

A good part of the Internet has already sung high praise for the OG Tomb Raider trilogy remaster’s loving determination to rejuvenate the classic. I’m glad it has. Being alone in finding it quite a marvel would leave me feeling pretty sad and possibly stupid. One aspect of the remastered trilogy that I believe I haven’t seen enough praise for, however, is the game’s achievements, which I absolutely adore. There’s something for everyone here. Some achievements are expected, some are difficult to find, some are hilarious,…

I’m highly skeptical of remasters and remakes. They tend to either feel underwhelming or, worse, to actually do a competent job that ends up replacing the beautiful memories we had of the original. I didn’t have either problem with the new Tomb Raider Remastered. Originally, I thought that was just because the game gave me the chance to pick between a respectfully improved version of the old, and a beautiful new vision for the classic, but there was more to it than just that. Now I have the full picture. It turns out…

I have been waiting for Tomb Raider I-III Remastered for 21 years. That’s when I first played the second entry in the series, it having been a “gift” from my mother’s boyfriend who gave me both his PlayStation and a handful of games — sans jewel cases — for no other reason than wanting to free up some space in his closet. I played it ceaselessly, enamored with the game’s action and puzzles and the fact it was the first game I ever owned that starred a woman. But after reconnecting with the Tomb Raider II portion of…

Crystal Dynamics has added a content warning to the Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered collection. Out today (February 14), Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered brings together 1996’s Tomb Raider, 1997’s sequel and 1998’s Tomb Raider 3 alongside the Unfinished Business, Golden Mask and The Lost Artifact expansions. All games also feature improved graphics, but these can be toggled if players want the original, pixelated experience. “For the first time ever, play the complete experience with all expansions and secret levels on modern…

Crystal Dynamics and Aspyr's Tomb Raider 1 - 3 Remastered is scheduled to come out tomorrow, February 14, 2024. Ahead of the game launch, Crystal Dynamics issued a content warning stating that the game has racial and ethnic stereotypes.In a statement to IGN, Crystal Dynamics explained that it decided to keep these stereotypes in the remastered game in "hopes that we may acknowledge its harmful impact and learn from it." The full statement reads:"The games in this collection contain offensive depictions of…

The Tomb Raider series is what got my love for video games rolling in the first place. Conversely, the trend of remastering and remaking every great game in existence — instead of boldly giving the rough ones a retry — is what’s led to me falling out of love with it once in the past. I knew that looking at a simple remaster of the original three, and possibly best, games in a series that speaks to me so dearly after a blockbuster Tomb Raider Anniversary remake failed to capture my interest could prove a challenge, but…

The original set of Tomb Raider games turned heads back in the day, and now, they’re returning to Switch (and several other platforms) in the form of Tomb Raider I–III Remastered Starring Lara Croft. Yes, that’s the real title, thanks for clearing up the starring role! For real though it’s been a long time since these games were released (28, 27, and 26 years respectively), so I can see why people would be rusty. Regardless of how well this Asypr set turns out, it’ll be interesting to see old-school Tomb Raider talk…
