- Hey guys :) Today I'm starting a playthrough of Tomb raider I-II-III Remastered. Thank you to Aspyr Media for providing me an early key !
Tomb Raider was the very core of my childhood and to get to play them again in this new way on the PS5 is so special to me that I wanted to share the experience with you all. I hope you enjoy the jank, I have a feeling this is going to be a lot of fun. Starting here with the Caves and City of Vilcabamba! I'll aim to clear each area in the future but this was just a little dip into what will hopefully be a great playthrough!

Tomb Raider I-III Remastered is a collection of remasters of the first three games in the Tomb Raider series: Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider II, and Tomb Raider III. Each game features archaeologist-adventurer Lara Croft as she travels through a series of ancient ruins and tombs in search of ancient artefacts, and is presented from a third-person perspective. Like in the original games, Lara uses two pistols with infinite ammo by default in combat, and can run, walk (which prevents her from falling off ledges), look around areas, jump forwards and backwards, shimmy along ledges, roll, swim through bodies of water, and move blocks. The collection includes new features across all three games, such as options to choose between enhanced and original graphics and classic and modern control schemes, as well as camera lock-on, health bars for boss battles, photo mode, and over 200 achievements - Hry
My mum loves Tomb Raider so much, she wrote a letter to Nathan McCree expressing her love for the music in Tomb Raider back in the 90s, he rang her to speak to her about it and sent her a CD with all the music on and signed it!
That's awesome.
your tears and laughter, bless your heart hahaha, you are such a joy to watch😭 The “sorry about the crates” and the swimming pool just transported me way back holy shit haha
Honestly the nostalgia hit me like a freight train 😂 you’re gonna love it xx
I am crying, too. The very same moment you did. 25 years I had to wait for that wonderful collection.
The nostalgia is real on this remaster. I played Tomb Raider & Resident Evil back in 1998 honestly one of the best years of my life. I just bought the game and I am in utter amazement that I am able to play these in 2024
It's soooooo cool, right 👍
the nostalgia feels are real with this one. tomb raider has been my entire life, these games shaped who i am today, and this remaster is EVERYTHING. it's such an unbelievable feeling.
It's her little jump backwards that gets meeee. So excited to play!
The little hoppy hop!
It’s so nice to see so many other OG Tomb Raider fans getting so nostalgic & emotional. We’re all reliving those feelings from our childhood. I’d say Lara raised me too. ❤
Wow. WOW! What a flood of memories come back watching this. The music, the jank, the squeaky squeepy bats! Thank you for playing this and sharing your memories!
This going to be great. Have great memories playing the original trilogy on the PlayStation. Glad to hear you've played these before. Nostalgia.
So glad you’re excited to watch and love them too! It’s the first time I’ve played an old game on the channel let that I have a personal attachment to so I’m really excited ❤
I got this game as a Christmas present alongside my first PC back in 1996. My family and I have been playing Tomb Raider games since then that's 28 years and now my granddaughter will soon be part of this Family tradition . lol we've even got the card game.Tomb Raider Collectible Card Game . I and my wife are 64 year old kids, still playing all the Tomb Raider games.
How incredibly 👍👍❤️❤️
I love how people have called these original games the dark souls of platforming because there's something about the hands off approach by these games, the precision of movement as well as the isolated atmosphere that both share, strange to say.
This is most accurate!
Agreed never really considered that comparison myself till I came across a video making that comparison but now playing the first tomb Raider for the first time since I was 8 yrs old I realize how true it is lol.
i wouldnt say so, tomb raider was really easy platforming wise because everything's on a grid. You always knew what jumps you could make and what was going to happen lol.
@@charg1nmalaz0r51 that’s true for some it was easy but still from an atmosphere standpoint and trying to figure out where to go and how to solve the puzzles it is easy to compare it to dark souls in that sense. No one is saying it is as hard and punishing as dark souls. That part is hard to compare since soulslikes have more in the way of upgrading and combat. But most souls and soulslikes do not hold your hand and had the player figure out how to get through and in that sense tomb Raider here at least these original ones were/are the same in that way.
Now this is what I wanted to see from a video someone who clearly loves the games and just enjoys them instead of complaining about very minor complaints because it's not how they remember it I got burnt out watching another streamer play it and didn't wanna touch the game after seeing your tears of joy has reminded me why I love this series it's just so... Cozy?
this is so lovely thank you so much
You may honestly find the tank controls easier than modern. The whole game was built around them! I’d recommend giving it a go cos some of the things you were trying to do are available in the tank controls aha. Especially since she tends to strafe more in combat than run in circles (in my experience).
Otherwise yeah, I got emotional too playing these again 😅 It’s wild how much of your childhood is locked away and will suddenly unlock in an instant.
Thanks ! thats what u thought too. We have to get her to switch :D might feel a bit clunky at first but the whole game like u said is build on a "grid system"
I never understood the hate for tank controls, they really aren't that bad plus since this game is more about the contemplative puzzle platforming they actually suit the type of game this is. Same with how Silent Hill and Resident Evil OGs create tension through cumbersome slow movement innate to tank control. Modern free controls are fine and all but they are better suited to fast flowing games. The control type has to match the type of game it is I feel.
@@timspace7575 True ! tomb raider works for ages like that and has so many fans , cant be thaaat bad :D
That's the only tweak I wish they'd made so far. Both control methods are good for different things, I.wish they had made the select button toggle between control schemes rather than the visuals
@@mickdavies5647 i like the visual switch very much tbh , the game now in remaster looks like my childhood , like i remember it. THEN when i press the visual button i just get remember how it looked really :D im using it really much tbh
Well done Emma, looking forward to your funny reactions while playing through all 3 games. I played this one on its initial release day back in '96 at the age of 31 and loved it.
I was 24 when this masterpiece came out as a totally new experience, the title music alone says it all.
This brings back a lot of memories, remember playing this when I was a kid. Love the Tomb Raider Franchise! 🤗
Thank you so much for your passion for Lara and this original TR game ! You seem to have a wonderful spirit ! I just bought the remaster and stumbled upon you channel ! I look forward to following you on CZcams ! Thank you !
This was adorable and beautiful. I know that overwhelming nostalgic feeling you shared with us. Do not be embarrassed. All of us who've gamed since childhood have experienced this feeling that doesn't come often. It is nice to see someone so genuine show such love for the hobby. The real lara will always be queen to many of us.
The hours I spent as a kid locking the butler in the freezer 🥶, great times
I'm not crying you are crying Emma, omg this gave me so beautiful memories back in the day when i was a kid and i had my ps1 wow ngl i got tears in my eyes ❤
AHHHH I’ve been waiting for this!! I’m so excited for watching you play these games, you only talk about them constantly!
Quite surprised you opted for modern controls! Nice vid.
I got tomb raider with my PS1 many many moons ago,it came with a tomb raider clock I still have over 25 yrs later,true story 😀
4:55 me when I will play Bloodborne Remaster in 2040🥲
🙏 praying alongside for that to happen
iam crying because shes crying
Lara is not a particularly good archaeologist but she is what inspired me to do archaeology as my undergrad 🤣
Your joy is very infectious, I can’t wait to play the remaster myself!
Oh my god, I was SOBBING earlier from nostalgia when I was listening to the Tomb Raider Medley orchestra. Then I stumble across your video and am crying again lmao. Classic Tomb Raider is so special. The soundtrack is magical.
The soundtrack is so magical!! I had it on my Spotify summer playlist last year for weekends in Central Park & the Met & vibing hahaha 🥲🏺🖼️🌳🌳🌳 such an emotional/nostalgic score!!
I _still_ remember sitting in front of the TV with my brother as very young kids and seeing Tomb Raider for the very first time on the GamesMaster TV show 😂 ... we were both absolutely blown away! ... we'd never really seen 3D environments like these before.
I still feel like these games were kinda revolutionary.
NGL, These remasters look amazing too!
I don't think anyone had, not like this anyway. Aren't TR and Mario 64 the first two completely 3D games? Such a wild difference from the 2.5D worlds of Doom and Might&magic.
The remasters are wonderful to behold, truly. What I love is the ability to switch back to the original at will if you feel completely nostalgic. But I feel like a 14 year old again the way I'm going around checking every square inch of the levels. The love they've given these games is quite clear. The fact you get Unfinished Business, Golden Mask and The Lost Artefact included too is just another positive.
@@HerrFinsternisIt was probably the earliest globally recognised fully 3D 'platform/adventure' game, however Descent on PC was actually 3D, and was released in '94. Quake was 3D too and was released in 1996, like Mario 64 and TR. Those are FPS though, I guess.
If you want to get really technical, Battlezone was released in 1979/80 on Atari, but it was the basest of polygons 😏 I'm not splitting hairs, by the way.
@@Nightopian1982 haha yes I will probably switch back and forth between original and remake the entire time ... well, often.
I have never played Descent and just had a look. The world does indeed look 3D (and smooth, really impressive for 94) but the models, explosions etc are sprites, not 3D models like in TR, mario and indeed quake 1. Completely forgot about that un.
Seeing your tears of joy and laughter, man it's the best. I can relate, I love nostalgia, just brings back memories from a certain time in our lives. Glad I randomly found your video. Great job and keep it up!
Great to come across your channel. Fantastic quality and great games, commentary.
Love it, so many wonderful memories, just had to pre-order as soon as it was announced. Still have my Ps1 and the games.
I just turned 50 yrs old a few weeks ago! I Loved TR 2! Italy was my favourite, sailing the boat and the music is so iconic! I remember me, lil bro and a friend used to argue who turn it was to make coffee so we could play another level!
The first couple of TR games are some of my best gaming experiences I've ever had. I loved he feeling isolation and exploration, and it was one of the first. 3D environments. I played the Anniversary edition with my kids about 5 years ago and it was great. Super looking forward to picking this up. Have fun, Emma. 😊
28:28 Mere seconds before, I was thinking "isn't this the first timed door in Peru?" 😄
I’m right there with you Em. Really looking forward to watching this series and experiencing these games all over again with yah.
Absolutely love this video and the fact that you've chosen to share your experience of reintroducing yourself to tomb raider. I replayed tomb 1 through to last revelation 6 months ago for the first time in my adulthood and I cried just like you did at the sound of the menu music.
33 years old going to be 34 soon
This was one of the games I grew up playing. It was also quite challenging.
While modern video games boast impressive graphics, they can't quite capture the timeless legacy and nostalgia of these classics!
Tomb Raider 3 was the first one I ever played, I remember getting a copy for my chipped PS1 and dying on that introductory jungle hill slide over and over lol.
I'm so glad you're playing a game that means so much to you. You should do more things for yourself! I loved the first 3 games so much as a kid. All games in this age were inverted and the reason why I can only play inverted lol
It definitely looks good! Cool that all the DLC’s are also included!
Stumbled upon your channel. Im 42 and ive tried to explain to people how video games i grew up with shaped me and have such an importance in my life... Especially the music. FFVII paticularly... But they never understand. Im glad your getting to experience this wave of faithful remastering thats happening right now bringing back all those memories.
Rebirth in a few days! TR, FF, Resi, Crash, Wipeout... truly a golden age of gaming.
The added lighting effects just makes it scary. Omg when the camera zoomed into her face it gave me Angel of Darkness flashbacks
Oh, just you wait for the later levels. The lighting of the gunfire from Pierre is also brilliant when you're fighting him in darker locations.
I get your tears, I was twenty eight when I first played it in 1996 and I felt enormous nostalgia when the music started.
Oh my I was not prepared for the animations to be exactly the same ...... I love it 🤩
Great nostalgia week! Really loving it! The music! :D
I've just turned 54 and last week treated myself to a ps1 and obviously chose Tomb raider 1 to get going. Within minutes I was exactly the same as you!
Pure nostalgia and magic.
I totally get your reaction and it will always be a special game for me also. The T rex in the valley will forever be the best ever gaming moment! Love from a person who understands 🌀🪬🪢
A new world record 🎉🎉 only 3 seconds into the game and the tears are flowing ❤❤❤
I should have filmed it, but I already had tears in my eyes when the title screen appeared. They began when I was scrolling down the user agreement lol. I can't stop looking around and taking screenshots.
Such a pleasure to watch you play this Emma. I felt your passion and nostalgia. I played this on ps1 the day it was released and still one of the greatest games ever
I was quite a bit older than you when TR first came out (24), but the game also had a profound effect on me, entering the chamber with the jumping platforms in the City of Vilcabamba for the first time, seeing The Cistern for the first time, King Midas Palace.. and I started crying when I saw you crying for the first time😢😅 Thank you for this, you got a new subscriber.
I've never seen your channel before, but being a big Tomb Raider fan I am glad I found it. Seeing your delight and sometimes horror when recalling your childhood memories of playing the game was just what I needed. The emotion at the title theme song - the feels!
good nostalgia! Thanks for sharing. I was an adult when I first played these ones: I loved the exploration of venice in the 2nd one. Very janky but so fun: acrobatics, smart puzzles, crazy traps, jungle areas, archeology, secret agents, underwater... I can imagine how the "indiana jones" with these pointy polygons designed during the mid 90s for male gamers had become a strong role model for a lot of girls. I expect to watch more. 👍
Oh Emma, thank you, I love tomb raider too, it was my first real video game as well and I have played through the whole series. I am so looking forward to watching you play and react to it, yay! ❤❤😂 So miss the old music!
MY WORDS EXACTLY!!! So glad there are so many of us who have grown up and enjoyed Tomb Raider.. It's crazy to see how many people locked the butler in the fridge.
Enjoy all the 3 games ❤
I was also 2 when I started! Just turned 28 and Tomb came out 4 days after the day I was born..
The music, atmosphere, Lara obviously, and the overall vibe of the game has impacted me as well.
I would love to chat about mutual love for the game..
The Tomb Raider Revelations theme went through my head while I was walking around my childhood home one last time before we moved. The very home where I played Tomb Raider 2 for the first time on the original Playstation. I sat up all night playing it while eating pizza, snacks and cold drinks. Not a worry in life during that time. ❤
Stop, you’re gonna make me cry too and I’m a gnarly 74 year old gamer guy! This game blew my socks off way back and yes , the music hits me right in the feels. I’ll pick this up tomorrow and dive in again.
I absolutely love these games, played them when I was a teenager, was never able to complete them back then. I’ve completed the newer tomb raiders, and had years of experience now with these types of games, I feel like I’ve definitely improved a lot. So happy I get to play them again and hopefully complete them all this time. Enjoying your play through Emma. ☺️
That music hits hard. ❤ so cute to see you like this because it gives me the same feels. I remember lying in bed as a kid and hearing this music coming from the sitting room where my dad would be playing and my mam would be watching him and trying to help him solve puzzles.
What a nostalgia rush. I decided playing it with tank controls because that way you get all the old animations, and during platforming it actually works better then modern controls giving you a tad more control. Sometimes Inhet the old graphics in there as well for better camera control, like you said. Took a bit to get used to again but I am amazed by how well these controls aged.
Full series? Yes, I’ll be watching :) That was a fun episode, just really cool to watch someone reliving their gaming history
Thank you so much Emma for re-living our childhood with this game, and yes I hope you continue with them all. Just three notes and the familiar feelings returned, plus the leaky eyes!
Omg the feels when I heard the menu music, it was like being reacquainted with an old friend ♥️♥️
I'm 67 and I only play these original Core Design games, they are the real Tomb Raider, I'm old school and don't like the newer games, but I'm happy enough to play these old classics when I feel the need to relive the good times😀
Thanks for being brave and showing your emotions. I am glad you shared your experience.
Yes! 100% do the full series. I wanna see it allllll! ☺️
This really bring me back it time, 25 years ago on my ps1, the load screen music is enough to bring the energy and makes us vibrate to it 💎
Mint mate! I still tear up at the title screens with the music, remember sitting next to my dad for hours and hours.. weeks lol while he played through them all. Good simple times.
I really feel you there. It's crazy how a bunch of music notes can bring you back in time and cause emotions instantly. I was exploring the heck out of croft manor back then, always eager to find something new. Good times.
I relate with your tears because of the theme song and nostalgia...wow you are a true fan too as I watch you play.
Damn, I was also in floods of tears as soon as I heard the tomb raider 3 theme tune! My uncle was the one who introduced me to tomb raider (mainly 3). Unfortunately he is no longer here so for him to not see this wonderful remaster definitely tugged on my heart strings. I will forever be greatful that he introduced me to the badass Lara Croft 🥺
NEW Subscriber!!! ENJOYING!!! TOMB RAIDER 1 IS MEMORABLE, AND CLASSIC, LOVE IT!!!
I was born in 98 so these were before I was born, but because my dad was a ps1 player and had all the ps1 classics these were what I grew up with as my dad could guide me along after playing them probably 10x over himself (plus being 4/5 years old before having CZcams walkthroughs and a guidebook that I couldn’t read, I definitely needed the help lol). Spyro and Crash bandicoot along with this are part of my core memories. After I went through all my dad’s ps1 games except the scary ones like resident evil (even though tomb raider proper scared me) I got the ps2 for Christmas to play on my own. Just downloaded these and absolutely can’t wait to run through em again after 20 years.
I understand you completely, getting emotional like this. Brings back memories from a simpler time and how amazed we were by this game. And this is my favorite soundtrack of a game ever.
Good fun, Emma! Can't wait to check out the rest of the playthrough.
Love the silence and expression when you fell and died 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Doom & Resident Evil got me in to playstation games back in 1999 and then the first Tomb Raider sealed the deal, i have played 100's of games since then and can honesty say no other game comes close to the first Tom Raider or 2,3 & 4. It has everything, the character, the level design, the music and rock hard to complete first time round. Started this remaster and it's an awesome remaster, hasn't lost none of the original atmosphere..love it.
Thank you for sharing this. I felt the same way! I cried with you 🥲
I was around 10 when I first played tomb raider on my PS1 bundle. I'm now 35 and had not played it since then... I did the same as you after those 3 notes played on that title screen Emma, once I bought the remaster. Seeing your same reaction hit me again 😢💙
You're making me cry too! I'm in the same boat as you! Lara's been my idol since I was 8. Having the time of my life playing the remasters! I'm in the colosseum now 😊 I don't know how you manage with the modern controls. 😂
TR1 brings back memories of cold dark winter nights in 97' but Lara brought the sun & springtime to me 3 weeks later(yeah,i'm slow & awful ). I really enjoyed your playthru & love of the game Emma! i love how they've kept all the levels & action the same but improved the graphics & lighting, it looks & plays beautifully! so i teared up when i started this, you're not alone
I remember playing the original on my Saturn, I was blown away and loved every minute 👍
Just bought Tomb Raider Remastered! Always had love for the Tomb Raider Series growing up especially playing the games from the PS3/360 era and the Reboot Series from 2013/2018 but never had a chance to play the original games from the PS1 era so getting a chance to play these games has me super excited!! Found you through this video and can't wait to play the games myself and watch you play them as well! 🙏🏽🔥💯😭
even if you constantly go back and play the originals on playstation or PC etc etc, the visual uplift that feels like the devs original vision is stunning. Its jaw dropping and gorgeous. I think the mdoern controls are fine for what they are if a bit iffy. Great great job. Love your love of TR
These games mean alot to me and alot of others. Playing them again has filled me with so many great memories. The atmosphere the music the sense of exploration is all still there. The newer games dont have the same feel for me. Welcome back Lara I've missed you.
I loved TR! I played the first one originally on my Sega Saturn. That music hit me just as hard, damn.
You made an important point about remembering the graphics being better than they actually were. I thought the same thing when TR Anniversary launched in 2007. That game also provided comparisons between old and new. I realised then that my imagination had actually enhanced the graphics back in the day. This happened for the first 3D games that presented “real life” environments, as opposed to just 3D mazes like Doom. Although arguably the first game to do this was System Shock in 1994, it all really kicked off in 1996 when we all moved up to a resolution of 640x480 with Duke 3D, Quake and Tomb Raider, and then continued through 1997 with games like Hexen II and Quake II, and then into 1998 which for me was the golden year for 3D games (Unreal, Sin, Half Life, Thief, etc). I’m finding that this ability of my imagination to enhance my gaming experience is now occurring in VR. I’m loving my Quest 3, but I expect in 10 years time I won’t believe how poor the experience actually was. I guess even the real world is given a “spin” by our imagination. Nothing we see is certain.
Omg im new to this channel as of now like. I've loved all the tomb raiders and I've grown up with them too. That was bit upsetting at the start listening to that start up after all these years. I'm going have buy this
Aww you and the PS1! What a legendary pic 😊
There are some moves that only can be done with tank controls. I recommend getting used to them.
Just subscribed. To follow up on the begging of the video you explaining your history with tomb Raider is completely understandable. Zelda was the main game for me growing up though lol. Imo Watching CZcamsrs play games they hold a special place for and have passion for like you do tomb Raider brings a certain quality to the video. Looking forward to watching your playthrough Emma but I may hold off watching your later videos till I catch up in the game myself lol. First played and beat tomb Raider when u was 8 when it first came out. My big brother got it for me to work on my hand eye coordination when I was little lol. Hope you enjoy playing through these as much as you did when you first played them.
This was so much fun to watch, though it makes me feel old! I was at university when it first came out.
Incredible memories. My first run through Tomb Raider is one of those gaming experiences I've never forgotten.
Love this opening! Tomb Raider II especially is where my childhood was. I just can't with the music
The timed door thing lined up so perfect 🤣, this bringing back so many memories from the PS1 era!
They did a fantastic job on those remasters. It's clearly not "next gen" but exactly how I wanted to remember these classics. Including those huge...temples
LOOOOL🍉🍉
I am right there with you period I'm downloading the game right now and I can't wait. I am 46 and this game was my first introduction as a teenager to three-dimensional game and I fell in love immediately. Me and all my friends burn through Tomb Raider 1 Tomb Raider 2 and Tomb Raider 3 probably in 1996 1997 and 1998 and I haven't played them since though I have played many other Tomb Raider games. I cannot wait. I will probably play a lot in the original pixels because it's blowing my mind that my memory of the first game Lara Croft wasn't this blocky weird-looking character LOL I'm probably not going to cry but I'm going to be having the Shivers and Goosebumps all the time LOL
This has been hitting me in the feels so hard. Remembering great times watching my brother playing then playing after with my sister after he was finished the game 😂 my dad was a huge fan of the games too, wish he was here to play it with him.
Love your enthusiasm. I was first introduced to Tomb Raider 1 when I bought my 7 year old daughter (now 35) a PS1 and Tomb Raider 1. I got so hooked I ended having to buy myself a copy of the game and another console so I wouldn't hog my daughters 😊 Nearly 30 years on and well into my 60's and I'm hooked again on the remasters. I find them so much more challenging than the modern Tomb Raiders which I've played also. Games today give you too many hints etc and puzzles are just too easy. The original games however have some really quite complex puzzles. I seem to remember my daughter coming to me saying 'Mummy can you help me with this puzzle'? and I of course was only too happy to assist. Full of glitches and weird bugs sure, but that's all part of the charm of these iconic games. Loving these games, they have surpassed themselves with these remasters, they are absolutely gorgeous now. Can't get used to the modern controls though, I prefer the old school tank controls. At the moment I'm well and truly stuck in the mines on TR1 😂
Just be glad the bear didn't jump in the water and come after you lol
I so remember this on my Saturn all those damn years ago was the most amazing thing id ever seen lol great memories
Nice this was the first 3D game I ever played on a home console...aah the memories of 3D console gaming in its infancy.
Emaa you're the best! Thanks for sharing. I was skeptical about the remaster, but I'm sold. I got TR1 for free when I built my first gaming PC. The game came bundled w/ the video card on a CD. I still have the official TR walkthrough booklet{CZcams wasn't born yet}. I have all the TR claasics w/ the official walkthroughs. I can't wait to dive in again. My best memory of TR1 is the swan dive off the top of the sphinx-I could never master the swan dive.
Hi, Emma. Played these 3 games back in the day as a 37 yo whose neice and nephew got me into the PS1. TR1 is still my most fave game ever and have played it on PS3 every few years or so. Anyway, totally up for watching you livestream the whole game. Started playing at midnight on Tuesday having avoided any spoilers. Wow!!
