Well, this is an interesting turn of events.
Iwrote at the time that we didn’t need them, or really any furtherTomb Raiderremasters.
My position on it, broadly, has not changed.
While the first three games are a cohesive trilogy, the next three games all run in different directions.
Then we have Tomb Raider 6 (actually Angel of Darkness).
And now, we are waiting for whats to come next.
Even the ones who are mean.
Maybe that’s why people are mean - you’re not you when you’re hungry.
The fact that Tomb Raider has failed to satiate is the reason many fans want these remasters.
But that exact same reason fans want this remaster to fill the void is the reason I don’t.
The new Tomb Raiders and these remasters have a different dev team.
Artistically, and in terms of player enjoyment, these would be better games.
The originals would still exist, so no one would lose out, and fans would get something fresh.
However, it’s not all bad news.
Over 5,000 frames of animation on the main character, Lara, alone.
16 massive levels encompassing four continents.
Unique multi-target acquisition system.
State-of-the-art intelligent third person perspective cinematic camera system.
The first real 3D interactive exploratory adventure.
