![Tomb Raider I Remastered - Caves Walkthrough [EARLY ACCESS REVIEW] #gifted](/img/tr.png)
A bit of caution for the narrative - this is TR Anniversary (released in 2007 by Crystal Dynamics) and not the TR Anniversary Edition, which was never released (it was originally developed by Core Design and was planned for release in 2006 as the celebration of 10th anniversary of the OG game).
Then.. Tank controls pretty much reflect the real life movement and those gamers, who keep on complaining about them only wine about their own inability to be in full control of Lara's movement and the consequences of their own actions - as well as it is an admittal of their own over-reliance on automation, which is typical (aka ever-present) for all "modern" controls schemes.
The classis "old-school" TR games (let's talk about the first three only - they are my favourites, including the respective expansions) did not push the players to "rush" through the levels and definitely did not guide them, as if afraid they may miss something. Quite the opposite - it was expected (and rather usual, frankly) to get stuck in a level for a few hours, days or even weeks by (e.g.) not being able to solve a puzzle or find a secret or beat a boss - or just be lost on where to go next - but once any player beat a level on their own, it was its own reward - and all those players could feel good about themselves. Most did, trust me.
A personal note here - I didn't have to replay any of the LAU trilogy games a/o levels more than once or twice to get it 100% completed - except for time trials, which was a bothering mode of gameplay, as I'm not a speedrunner and not even a fan of this genre. Also, I think this particular mode was either a "modern gaming trend" addition for the less patient and less contemplative players, or forcing the franchise to become something it wasn't and should never have been. Anyhow, to me it translates to dumbed-down and "let us guide you by the hand" approach to game design for those LAU games.
BTW the OG trilogy vs LAU - am I the only one who looked at the number of levels per each game & the average length of gameplay through a whole particular installment - and then looking at the prices of those games? LAU games cost me ~80EUR and provided some 2 days of "fun" and I think I still have the DVDs somewhere - while the OG trilogy of games (with exp.) cost me roughly the same and are on all my PCs ever-since I bought them - and I do know that I keep the CDs and boxes at my shelf in the best condition possible.
Honestly I came in at the Tomb Raider and I think it was number 4, but not playing much, then Legend, but having access to the original, just brings me this cool style of games that I didn't get the chance to fully play, mainly because I was limited to having access to a computer at the time, but now it's brought back, I can access and play the remaster and play the games I never really had the chance to.
Is there a game that you may or have missed out on, and wanted a change to play??

@@JumpInsideGames Be easy 🙂
@@JumpInsideGames Got it. Hmm.. Try TR1, then TR2, then TR3, then the expansion in the same order. When playing these, be alone, in a dark room, just you and the PC. It may "click". If yes, tou'll know it. If not, NP 🙂
Speed running isn't a new gaming trend. I remember the Doom and Quake speed running scene was huge in the early to late 90s.
The originals and remastered feel a lot better to control than Anniversary, as the later has terrible physics and Lara feels like she's skating on ice. Also the jumping is almost entirely automated and there's no momentum or on-air mechanics. Basically, the game is a series of scripts, and all you have to do is press jump where the developers pre-established you should press jump.
I think this opinion REALLY depends on what your first exposure to Tomb Raider was. For me, the Anniversary edition (together with Legend and Underworld) was the best Tomb Raider, including the controls.
I played TR 1 Remastered with tank controls just for fake nostalgia (watched my dad play back in the day) and while it's certainly doable after getting used to it, it's not great compared to modern games.
@@MarcelRiegler In the originals, Lara is just an avatar and the player is responsible for everything - press a control to move/line up a jump, press a button to jump, press another button to grab. To me, this is more involving than the Crystal Dynamics approach, where Lara does most of the work automatically and you just point her in the general direction of the telegraphed hand-holds. I really disliked Anniversary, not least because they left out the whole Cistern section, which was one of my favourite parts of the original. And I loath QTEs.
They basically made it easier. They grab the hands of the gamer and say let’s go now. Nothing will ever come close to the platforming in the original games. Those took precision and timing
Yes this is true, When it came to playing the original, You have to look around for paths to take, in the Anniversary every time is came to jumping or climbing, the layout was planned, now I got introduced to the later games, Legend and Anniversary,.. although I feel like I missed out, I'm rechecking out the original remaster, with tank controls, and complete the whole trilogy on that game soon!
Out of all the original Tomb Raider games, what would you say was the best?
___
TM Social Team - Seb
Anniversary has a manual grab toggle...
One thing is important to note, in the original Tomb Raider, if you miss a jump it's because YOU fucked up. I'm really tired of people blaming the game. In the modern games, Lara is basically a magnet. Jump in the general direction and she'll automatically go where the game wants her to go. In the originals, YOU controlled Lara. If you suck at the controls, get better.
Personally I like the fact they got multiple different setting depending if someone wanted to use modern controls or tank controls, I think this is really helpful for so players can decide what's easier for them, however it might be hard to get used to for new players, which is why they will have updated it in the new game, I actually had fun with the, tank controls, I took a few tries but it feels more rewarding every I succeed in making a platform jump.
what type of games do you like, is there a certain type of game with certain controllers types that you like?

TM Social Team - Seb
I platinumed the Tomb Raider Trilogy on PS3 (Legend, Anniversary, Underworld), they were really fun games, any difficulty spikes were USUALLY a case of Get Good, but sometimes like when you're in that one section of Anniversary where you have to ascend that really large room in the Lost Island The Great Pyramid and the flying enemies keep throwing blasts that make Lara stagger and fall off the platforms into the lava, it was really annoying.
What feels really strange to me, is even through they decided to bring out Anniversary, remaking the original game, that game came out on the PS2, 3 generation ago because we've had PS3 PS4 and PS5, honestly I came into this with Legend, Anniversary, Underworld, At this stage I'm generally planning on doing these remasters, however once complete, I'm think I might adjust to those games.
If you could pick between Legend, Anniversary, Underworld, which would you go for?
___
TM Social Team - Seb
@@JumpInsideGames Well, definitely NOT underworld...
I think I'd have to go with Legend, the soldiers just feel more fun for me to fight.
The only one I didn't platinum was Anniversary. I lost interest for time trials after Greece and didn't bother to check if replaying the levels on hard count towards playing the whole game on hard.
I hate LAU and Survivor Lara, but just look at Anniversary Lara. She is absolutely beautiful
You know it, if you know it
one thing about the Tomb Raider Series, you can really see the development overtime, on game graphics, do you think that in the latest games, that Lara is getting too realistic, and this early cartoony feel is more where she's at, or do you think better graphics is the right direction?
_
TM Social Team - Seb
@@JumpInsideGamesI wouldn’t say she got more realistic in terms of graphical fidelity, but how she behaves. But like I said, the “Lara” we see in the Survivor games isn’t the same woman from the Core Design era, more like an imposter
I played all three versions and i have to say my favourite way is the remastered graphics with the tank controls! Starting the remastered i tried using the modernised controls but it just felt soooo wrong! Not being able to do the side and backwards flips was like a sacrilege lol
I instantly switched to the tank controls and it was SO HARD to get used to!!! It was a real torture, but as soon as i got the hand of it just came naturally! Actually playing another game in-between i tried to move the characters with the arrow keys and not the analogue stick!!!!
I really hope they gonna remake the later games as well!!! A Legends remake would be a dream comw true!!!!
The original games and the LAU editions all have this set feel, and I love them, now the latest one, I don't actually step into, I tried to play it a while ago, but it didn't really make me like, it I might step into it, but he original ones, just feel so nice.
and yea, sometimes you get games that have controller types that are hard to get into, but you get used to them, I'm glad you liked the video!
Have you played any of the recent one as well?
_
TM Social Team - Seb
@JumpInsideGames I've played them all! The new games were kinda meh tho! It didn't quite feel like Lara Croft. When i think of the Lara Croft I grew up with i picture an intelligent bad ass archaeologists with two guns who has to solve puzzles to unravel mysteries! The new games weren't bad but it just didn't feel right! Gameplay wise they were to easy, and there was toooooo much focus on combat (and she didn't even have her weapons... bow and arrow & her climbing tools?! It was boring and so excessively brutal at the same time)
Also the fact that all the lore was changed!
Well no matter what comes next from Lara I'll definitely check it out because she's been my hero for as long as i can remember
Thanks to the Remastered trilogy, there's now only one TR game I haven't played, that being TR5: Chronicles. Prior to the Remastered trilogy, the only other TR game I hadn't played until a month ago was TR1 believe it or not. My first TR game was TR3 so it holds a special place in my heart and I have yet to play the Remastered version of it, but my all-time favorite TR game is TR4: The Last Revelation. I've heard there's an Easter egg in TR3 with coordinates and if you look up the coordinates, it's for Giza, Egypt where a large chunk of TR4 takes place. This is a potential hint that we may get a future remaster and considering TR I-III Remastered has sold well, I think we will...
🤞🏻
Oh that would be cool if they remastered all of them, I can't believe there's been 5 original tomb raider games, that's crazy, And it's still going on even today, well with an entirely new games, personally I am really happy with these remasters and can't wait to see if they do make a 4 & 5.
Have you played 1, 2 & 3 yet, I'm planning on doing this game, the remastered version soon.

TM Social Team - Seb
@@JumpInsideGames I've only played Tomb Raider I Remastered so far and have 99 of 100 trophies for it. The one trophy I'm missing is currently glitched/unobtainable. I don't plan on starting Tomb Raider II Remastered until they patch TR1 so I can get that trophy. And I'm most looking forward to Tomb Raider III Remastered. For those curious, the level the Giza, Egypt coordinates are located in is High Security Compound, the second level of Nevada.
Games I haven't played are Last Revelation, Chronicles, Angel of Darkness and Guardian of Light. Thanks to Remastered trilogy I've played the original trilogy and most of Crystal Dynamics games.
@@Sk4tman91 oh wow, that's a lot! I am also glad they came out with the game as it does very much allow people who've played the game to go back and check it out from a in a new light, or should I say graphics, but also for tomb raider fans and non fans, who never got around to playing these game, time to go into them and check them out for the first time ever!
Have you played any of the more modern Tomb Raiders?

TM Social Team - Seb
I love Underworld and Legend, but Anniversary can't even hold a candle to either the original or Remastered. To me, it just fails to capture the atmosphere and magic of the original, and the gameplay and level design wasn't as satisfying to me in spite of its more "realistic" updates. Honestly, as a diehard fan since the late 90s when I was way too young to be playing these games, I have to say that the Remastered edition is the definitive way to play these games, since it has numerous tiny quality-of-life improvements, with the ability to toggle between the original and updated graphics and control schemes.
And also the ability to play on 120 frames.
I love games when they include tiny things like toggle between old and new graphics, I liked Halo for doing this as well, but it really shows in this game, there's something about the water old style graphics l love, these days yes water looks more real and beautiful, but there's something about those old style graphics I like when playing the game.
Also by the end of my playthrough, I also got used to using the tank controls alot more, it was more the guns I had to get used too.
What was your favourite games from around that era, I theme park was a good game from back then and GTA London, I could be wrong?
___
TM Social Team - Seb
30 fps I can manages, 120 I agree I prefer, but it's the eyes, if the eyes are not done correctly, I don't like it, honestly if you look at the eyes for the game cover of Anniversary compared to Remastered, the eyes looks so much better. I know, I'm picky, but I hate it when eyes on games go out of focus.
What is is your favourite Tomb Raider Game?

TM Social Team - Seb
@@JumpInsideGames The Getaway was a great game! Wish they'd do a remastered version of that!!
Remastered is definitely the best. As a fan I of course did try to play anniversary but omg the controls were really tough(remember that pole trap on that Egypt level, jumping from pole to pole while there's blades and closing doors😂, I literally tried to get past it a hundred times and gave up)
Anniversary is an interesting game, I think personally old fan or new, I think a lot of people will think that the remaster was a great step for fans, and hopefully they take this into account when making future games!
I remember playing games tomb raider 4 going in, and it seemed hard, but going back to the series now, I it feels a lot more fun, Have you played a game that original was hard when you first played it, then came back to it later, it was a lot easier

Good video I would recommend try to make your audio for your voice alittle bit just alittle bit louder you sound abit soft. Could just be my own headphones being messed up so you can take my comment with a grain of salt
I appreciate you pointing that out! It's always helpful to get feedback to improve the viewing experience.
Might be a slight denoiser on it, I hope you liked the video, are you a Tomb Raider Fan, if so, which was your favourite?
_
TM Social Team - Seb
The problem here is Crystal Dynamics the one that made Anniversary didn’t know what Core had in mind they just kind of put their own spin on it.
This comes true with most games, when a new developer takes over, or a game want to appeal to a more open wide range of fans, they can often change key elements of the games core, and it comes to a point where you have to think, do you want to appeal to a wide range of people or narrow it down to a smaller but more dedicated fan base, I loved assassins creed and the way those games were made, but ever time they changed it up, from Black flag to Unity, or syndicate to origins, there was a total shift in the attitude towards the game, I hope this game reminds the developers of what fans love about the original games of the tomb raider series!
Which was your first tomb raider game?
_
TM Social Team - Seb
@@JumpInsideGames I played them when I was like 3, Probably TombRaider 2 or 3, 1 was I think a bit later.
@@JumpInsideGames there is also a cancelled Core Design project that was a “Anniversary Edition” for TombRaider 1. It was somewhat salvaged by some dedicated fans, more of a walk through gallery than anything playable. I say it has a lot more “heart” put into it.
Oh, and why are comments turned of for the review of Remastered? Comments are important.
I'll write it here though. Tank controls takes some time to get used to, but once you are used to them, they work quite fine, especially for platforming. The great thing about them is that they leave out all of the guesswork. They are very consistent, so if you see a jump, you will quite quickly be able to tell if it is possible to take that jump before you try.
Second comment I wanted to make was regarding the level design. I hate how handholdy modern games are, and really appreciate that the developer assumes that the player is able to think for themselves. It has been ages since I played Tomb Raider I, and replaying it has been a blast. At several points I've felt so clever for finding something that I assumed was a secret, only to be surprised that you are actually meant to do that to progress. It is pretty humbling, but also very fun.
From what you written in the second comment, for my experience, this show show in games like dragon age, differently from the Witcher 2, for example, when I was player the Witcher 2, was very much, you have to work out what to do follow the story yourself, as for dragon age origins and I do love both games, don't get me wrong, but it was a lot of the time companions giving me hints on what to do and where to go.
Would would you say your favourite game of all times is?
___
TM Social Team - Seb
@@JumpInsideGames It is really cool to see that you reply to comments!
I'm not sure, but I think it must be the original Deus Ex or "Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis". Of modern games, I'd say that Witcher 3 is among the games I've enjoyed the most.
I remember something like that, I played Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, one of the more harder games out, or at least I did, the Witcher 3 I up there for me, If and when the Witcher 4 comes, all fans are going to be on that hype train!
_
TM Social Team - Seb
@@JumpInsideGames Read into the history of Operation Flashpoint. Dragon Rising is nothing like it's predecessor. It was basically a reboot, the spiritual successor to Operation Flashpoint is the ARMA franchise. The original devs, only they lost the right to the trademark and IP.
The modern controls do feel nice to use at times, but they do come with a few limitations, such as somersaults and backflips requiring you to have a weapon drawn when you start the manoeuvre, also grabbing ledges below you is far more difficult than before as either need to roll from a specific distance as backing away with modern controls requires a gun to be drawn but putting your guns away to grab the ledge takes too much time for her to actually grab it most of the time.
I can see where your going with that, very true, I like the fact they got the modern controls in, when I first picked up the game, I found it hard to navigate, and it was difficult to navigate around Lara's Mansion, after a while, I got used to using it, I think in some areas of the game, the modern controls can speed things up, but as you say, there are limitations.
Are you currently playing the game, how are you finding it?

Remastered and it’s not even a question. The quintessential version of playing the TR Trilogy !
Nice, personally I'm going to give a go at tank control completion for a challenge myself, But the remastered graphics make this game so much more beautiful!
Also I love the fact that It wasn't just one game, it was tomb raider 1, 2 and 3, have you played this games, if so what do you think of it, if not, are you going to get it?

TM Social Team - Seb
@@JumpInsideGames the best part you can choose between tank or modern controls. Mastering the modern controls were very fun. It gives you more fluid moment with Lara. They’re all fun and challenging games. Great puzzles, secrets and level designs. For me personally I enjoy the 1st game the most because of the locations. There are more tombs, temples, ruins in the game and those are my favorite areas to explore
It's great to hear you enjoy the first game the most! The locations and exploration in the original Tomb Raider look fun to be fair, I am looking forward to hitting up this one first. I can't believe how many tomb raider games there are! When you count all the remakes, remaster and reboots and films, there's a lot!
___
TM Social Team - Seb
@@JumpInsideGames yeah there’s a lot of them, good and bad ! Reminds me of the resident evil franchise lol
Good comparison for all 3 games however lets don’t forget that original game was released 1996 and anniversary 2007 so there is technical limitations back in 1996. Also one is Remake other is Remastered. For me personally anniversary was bit fresh air and you could see how bigger team of development team paid off and also what would be the original game ideally that being said the creator of Lara was in the development of Anniversary. For the remastered I would say that it’s my personal best and for me is how is supposed to be done not more not less and it’s been done like a reward for longtime fans ported to modern consoles I bit polished but not over the top and keep the original vibe. Also with the new controls to be easy for the new players because now days game needs to do most of the job for the players. Old gen playing we grow up with this kind of games and it was fun easy to control and think. I a big fan of the original games but here is coming the problem with console not accessible for everyone this day is kind of vintage and on now days tellys looks like Minecraft hah. Anyways again good comparison 😊
I agree, there is a difference on how games used to be played and how we play them today, I'm not games out today are bad, games are good, and it's good that it attracts new audiences to the franchises, that normally would play, But I like the fact this game includes things like the different controller settings and graphics, so the player can have their preference, do you have a game you enjoyed playing from back then? Apart form Tomb Raider?

@@JumpInsideGames Exactly I’m of course is not bad think that technology prosper and developers make now games players friendly and kind of guide the player with in games. I got my ps1 quiet late in 90s after 00s actually it wasn’t much affordable in my country to have ps1 so I remember playing Team Buddies, Wipeout , Crash Bandicoot, Dino Crisis, Medievil , Delta force, but I thing the most I enjoyed Duke Nuken.
I remember playing games like Mario, Crash and Sonic, I even remember playing "Bust-A-Move 2" on the PS1, that would be my first game, however it was Halo Combat Evolved that properly got me into gaming. I've never played Duke Nuken, but I feel like I need to!

I'm honestly quite impressed they managed to improve the game's visuals to the extent that they did in Remastered, given it's still the original 1996 game engine and levels. While still bottlenecked by that limitation, it is night and day compared to the original. (Although you seem to be playing the original with Bilinear filtering off. It does look a little better with that on, as it removes pixelation.)
When recording, I use a 2 PC setup, this is so we are outputting as high quality as possible when watching content we create, it does mean, that the file size for this type video is 15gb, that's actually quite low for me, and when processing just over a gb, but it means when CZcams is kind and puts by video codecs as VP09, your seeing everything as clean as possible. that being said, I am not aware of bilinear filtering.

I agree with your recommendation. Anniversary first, then remaster, then original. I'm usually one to endorse the original, uber alles. But Tomb Raider is an exception where I do think it has aged poorly, mostly because the awkward controls and platforming just make for needless frustration. Remaster lets you have the original levels without that frustration, plus a lot easier on the eyes.
I think Anniversary for my favourite part that I like, is the combat, it makes it a lot more clear to see what I shooting at, the original and remaster seems to take a lot more exploration as such, you spend more time looking around levels, your going to find more stuff, Anniversary even though the exploration is a little bit less, there more drama, in places, I think for my take, these games are very different, I can't say one is better, because even though they focus on the story, these are 2 very different gameplay styles, and both have strengths ands weaknesses. Anniversary and Legend, is where I came into this series properly, I played the others before but only a little but, but these we're the games that got me into this, and like anyone first, it has a place in my heart!

Original hands down. Nothing can beat the creepy liminal feel of the first 3. Absolutely amazing games.
I am only in the at the moment of playing the first one, the games is really good!
Out of the first three which one is your favourite?

TM Social Team - Seb
@@JumpInsideGames TR 2 was what I grew up with so that holds a special place in my heart. but TR 1 the first and original has amazing tombs and atmosphere which just can't be beaten in my eyes. The old school textures and lack of skyboxes really adds to the feel.
@@MaxskiSynths I think growing up around the 1990 - 2000, things we're all kinda messy with games, but a good mess, gaming franchises were just games at the time, and everything was new, I still remenber having a crystal xbox, inserting halo: combat evolved for the first time, certain games are meaning full, games that started things off are also important too.
@@JumpInsideGames Honestly mate you have no idea what a game changer tomb raider was when it first released. Honestly that factor alone boosts its appeal to me above anything since
I find the conclusion to be a bit odd. There is little reason to get the original anymore, as it is practically bundled with Remastered. You can switch between modern and old graphics by the klick of a button, and you can even use the "modern" control scheme while playing with the original graphics. Not to mention the fact that Remastered includes Tomb Raider II and III as well, both in their modernized and old school flavors.
Yes there is most definitely a few combinations to this, whether it's new graphics with old controls or old graphics with new controls, or new graphics with new controls, there's lot's of different combination, and with there being an inclusion of the addition 2 and 3, this is very much an enjoyable game in include everything!

@@JumpInsideGames Its just made me feel old, as someone who grew up on the original releases. I couldn't help but think "the tank controls are the normal controls, the modern scheme's the weird one."
Long time fan, since 1998. out of these three, my choice is definitely the remaster - its a nice balance of old and new. Having the Gold expansions finally on console is great too - those were my first encounter with the series, and playing them again after so many years feels like reuniting with an old friend. The whole package does, really.
The 1996 release is classic, while Anniversary is beautiful graphically, but did away with the gameplay depth and the vibrant, open-ended level design (the improved puzzle rooms in St. Francis Folly and Palace Midas were nice though.)
I guess someone mentioned this already, but as a bit of constructve criticism, either your compressor or your equalizer are acting up and every other sentence once you start talking the volume of your voice is too lowered and it takes some seconds to ramp up and not be muffled by the music. I f you manage to make it more consistent across the board it will be easier to listen to and easier to understand what you are saying.

Anniversary is a disgrace IMO, too easy, boring… All looks, no substance!
You should work on learning how to use the tank controls properly!
I grew up using them so I’m pretty good (I still die 24652247 times per level 😂) and once you mastered them, you’ll never use the modern controls again, trust me!
You know, after recording the video, I'm generally going to try and compete the games, in the new remaster graphics, but on tank controls settings, and too be fair it's mostly because I want the challenge.
Do you have a favourite modern game or you an old school gamer?!
Personally when it comes to old school games, I go back to Fable and Halo Combat Evolved!

I absolutely disagree, don't know where the "looks" are cause that game is so painful to look at. It's like a brick, it looks so dry and lifeless.
Easy remaster! Lol anniversary was sub par at best....and a dumpster fire at the very least....i remember being so excited just to get more and more disappointed the further i got....never even beat it and i remember i rented it at the time and had rented it for a week just to be so disappointed i returned it in 1-2 days....sorry the og tr is the best....i dont even like crystal dynamics versions...
You know, I must say, the original with the updated graphics is very nice to play through, have you played any of the latest TR, what are your thoughts on those, personally when I played them I wasn't a fan at the time.

I feel modern control weird now that I've been playing on tank control the whole time. Quit the series ever since they gave up on tank control and classic timeline. Remastered is a huge comeback to me.
Honestly at first I like the modern controls, but the more I play this, I'm getting more and more used to using the tank controls as I play this game, the game actually feels better using these controls, however I like that the option is there to switch and to be fair, I also like the fact that you can switch graphics as well.
Would you say your a big Tomb Raider Fan?

I also prefer Anniversary and Legend to the originals, but even they're looking a bit dated now. I wouldn't mind another remake of this game using the Shadow of Tomb Raider graphics...
I very much liked Legends as that's what got me into the franchise, so it will always have a place in my heart, and Anniversary was my second, I had no idea that this game was coming out, but when I heard, I was so excited to get it, I think they need to do more remasters of the Tomb Raider games, L & A, for those players,
What are you favourite games at the moment?

dude you are a noob, your footage of playing the original game is cringe lol, once you master the tank controls and realise is part of the grid system of the game its the only way to play it, i nearly lost my mind when the trailers for anniversary hit back in the day, even though it looks beautiful i was so disappointed playing it, the levels were convoluted and tedious, scripted scenes were awful, Lara feeling guilty that she killed larson was pathetic, so many bad decisions, the best part of it was her mansion sadly, they will never recapture the magic of the 1996 original, and thats why i bought and am currently playing the remastered version, its a joy for people that loved the original game
Tank controls are perfectly designed for the original games but the modern controls have grown on me. Once you master it Lara’s movement becomes so fluid
Tr1 was fun. But that boss fight on the skateboard threw me off with laughter 😂. I'm glad I finally played and beat the original. My first was TR2 as a kid. TR2 was my favorite out of these remastered. But my all time Favorite is TR4. As for TR anniversary........ yeah it's definitely better than the original. I liked the puzzles more. Hopefully the rumors of them remastering TR4 is true. The reboots can go to Hell.
LOL, Thanks! I am planning on going back and playing through an campaign of the original, using tank controls using the remasters graphics, and I can't wait!
Im guessing you played the orignal Tomb Raider, what would you say your favourite one of the lot was? oh and also which was your worst Lara Croft Game, including the latest ones?

@@JumpInsideGames for me the first is the best, i even had the first version on sega saturn in 1996 and found it so immersive, there was nothing like it at the time, tr2 was not bad, it had its moments but it had dull levels in the boat wreck, i didnt like the human enemies and it didnt have the same atmosphere, i had some fun with legend and the 2013 reboot, and underworld also wasnt too bad, i found the rest very forgettable, and angel of darkness just plain unplayable, but the first was lightening in a bottle that will never be recaptured
@@BlueKoshinomi8 mate it was the 90s, you had to have some sort of skateboarding reference in your game or show. it was the law lol
I love the original game and anniversary too. I only don't like the new triology. For me the new games lost the identity of the classic Tomb Raider games. And the torture porn of Tomb Raider 2013 is very cringe in my opinion.
How can you say the new ones lost their identity but not include anniversary in there. It feels like uncharted with better gunplay.
@@MR.__G TR 2013 was an Uncharted clone in bad in my opinion. Legend, Anniversary and Underworld on the other hand tried to capture the old school vibes of tomb raider with modern gameplay. These games are not perfect but they are more classic Tomb Raider than everything else since 2013.
@@Bibbes95 anniversary literally has the same easy scripted platforming as uncharted. It doesn’t feel like the original at all
@@MR.__G yes it has more scripted platforming but you still have to figure out where you can climb and where not and the level design was pretty cool in some areas. OG Tomb Raider is still classic in his own way but i don't want to miss Anniversary. In the new games i don't have this adventure feeling anymore i don't know.
@@Bibbes95 also the colors indicate where you need to climb, making it more easier. I’m not saying anniversary is bad but its more closer to an uncharted experience than a TR experience.
Been playing them on the steam deck
They hold up great!
I do agree, I haven't played them on the steam deck, But I do love the games, what are your favourite games to play on the steam deck?
