Unfinished Remaster
I started with TLR (TR4), and made it about 2/3 the way through before running into unfinished content. It's like Lara runs down an alley and the world slides back 3 generations or 25 years in fidelity in an instant. Reportedly, Chronicles isn't as bad; I wouldn't know. And reportedly AoD is still janky; again, I wouldn't know. And reportedly people like me "should be patient" and "wait for a patch." I was once paid money to beta test games in active development. TLR needs some people like me in dev and QA to polish this. Aside from the small issue of the game shipping half a year ahead of being ready for market, the game is also lit flatly. It lacks volumetric effects in many places, and because textures are lit by light sources rather than illuminated per object, the world appears dark or washed out or grey depending on how much light is present. The original design popped, with light and dark being used to convey all sorts of information to the player. In these remasters, much of this design language is lost. If I had a magic wand and the inclination to fix this effort, I'd take all the upscaled assets and import them into the original lighting engine so that we can see some contrast in the game world again. I'd also sort out Lara's model which is sorely lacking hips and resembles a prefect/hall monitor rather than an athletic woman. The scope for how good IV-VI could be is capped at a 4 for me, as they'll never revisit their design stage and address the lighting problem. A real pity and missed opportunity.
