Tomb Raider 1, 2, 3 Remastered... and now 4, 5, 6?

Wow, cool. I don't know if I will ever be able to "Get into" the controls of the classic games, but they do look wildly better than they ever did before.

I can imagine "Angel of Darkness" will look particularly great. That was already a PS3 game to begin with.

I only have Trilogy on PS3. I’ve always wanted to play all of them but they don’t have the same graphical leap as Anniversary. I mean 1-3. Looks like they’re just cleaned up PS1 games. I guess that’s the difference between Remaster and Remake. Even 4-6 don’t look much different.

Still cool to have but a little disappointed.

It's more Lara herself and other animals/people that get the biggest upgrade. The landscapes, beyond completely new texture mapping, still have roughly about the same polygon counts. But it still looks VASTLY better than in any version before. Personally, I just wish there was different control options to moving Lara around.

I read they do you give you the option to use the original “tank” controls or modern controls. I assume it’s way better.

Do they? I started playing the 1-3 Remastered and was just stuck in the tank controls... but come to think of it I didn't look around to see if there was a toggle.

There IS a toggle to switch from "classic" mode graphically and the remastered mode. You can do it anytime.

I see a lot of people actually think the modern control is worse but I agree the tank controls were awful. I only tried them on a demo.

According to the video trailer, it'll be available on the PS4, which I do have. By the time, it gets to release time, my Sony Rewards Visa card will become a PlayStation Rewards account at New Year's morning, which means I'll be able to use the rewards to get the game cheaper by then. This is a win.

I decide to not get the remaster, oh well, I still have the original I bought cheap from GOG.com.

Wow, I guess you really can change to modern controls with these. I'll have to experiment with that tonight. I see a lot of videos now of OG Tomb Raider players whining about how apocryphal the modern controls are in the classics and blah blah blah, so we'll see.

It better be. The graphics are nice, but nowhere near "taking advantage of PS5 hardware" nice.

The thing is in my case is that I don't want to get any more modern consoles since I prefer older games. So unless, I can get all my older games from the 80s and 90s era onto a system, I don't see a point in me getting a new system. I'm just not into modern games like I was during the NES/Genesis/SNES/PS1 period.
