I'm surprised this remaster exists at all to be frank, but the people involved clearly loved the original games. Despite its shortcomings they are continuing to update the game and add features. This is also the only way (as far as I know) to legally play any of the expansions, which have some of the best levels in their games, and overall I'm very greatful to the team and their effort to keep these games alive. :)
As the Title says, the new Visuals are really great, being inspired by the Model of the Cutscenes.
The new Textures and added 3D Models for Plants, Objects and Details on Walls are implemented very well.
Gameplaywise you can chose between the original and a more modern Control Scheme, i personally like the original Control Scheme,
when learned, they give you a very good and rewarding Control over Lara.
It just feels good shooting around in a very acrobatic Way or mastering the Level in such Way.
As i recently played through the original TR1 and 2, i started here with the golden Mask and that alone took me around 7 Hours.
Guessing from the percentage on the Archivment, i am one of the first to do so^^
The Framerate from the original Games feels sometimes a bit too stuttery, as i have very fresh Memory of the Games and also tested in on original Win98 Hardware, i don't think that my Brain is tricking me here while changing from the new to the old Graphics and its lower FPS.
There seem also to be some other minor Issues, the "Crystal Key" on a Level in the Golden Mask in the Water wasn't visible with the new Graphics, TR2 has no Background in the Item Menu and there is no nice Way to make Screenshots at the Moment.
But nothing Gamebreaking and you get a lot of Content with very nicely done Visuals for your Money.
Netherless, for playing solely the originals, i would suggest Openlara or the 16:9 Patches for the other Games, as they seem to run better (at the Moment).
A little Tip: Add -nolegal as starting Condition.
It not only takes away the annoying and nonsenical Warnings, but also the Logos, you'll be instantly in the Game Menu to start your Journey!
The best news is that we can finally play the original version of Tomb Raider 1/2/3 on modern system without having to patch it or use dos emulation.
The even better news could have been that we can play these games with modern graphics and 60fps... however that's when the issue start:
The modernize art-style is fantastic, however it makes the game much harder because now everything, from key items to platforms and pathsways, blend in so well with the rest of the environment to the point of being lmost impossible to spot.
Modern controls are questionable as well, since they built a new control scheme and camera for Lara without changing anything about the grid system of the old games.
Definitely worth the money, but expect learning curve as you go no matter what mode you chose.
So i want to start by saying that i did not play those games before even though i did bought them on gog a while ago but when i heard remasters where comming i then waited.
But well now i did finished TR1 and TR2 as well as putting a good amount of time into Unfinished Buisness, The Golden mask and The Last Artifact expansions and also TR3.
I really enjoyed my time with those games so much so that it was almost the only games i was playing for a week straight :)
But i have some criticism of course...
Well first of all, yes the controls are really something to get used to and i did though
(I play on keyboard btw because it just feels more natural to me and i just can't do without the hotkeys especially f5 to save and f9 to load since you have to do it a ton in those games since there is literally no autosaves since it wasn't a thing at all at that time from my understanding but yeah)
I play on tank controls because the new modern controls are really weird and also those games where literally designed around the tank controls with the grid system with the blocks and all so it is the way to go.
But they could definitely do a better job with the modern controls none the less imo.
Although something i hope they fix is the camera which you can't move in tank controls when you play on mnk but you can with a controller.
Also there was mods on the originals to get mouse camera movements and on modern controls it works.
It is especially annoying because the default camera which is the same as the original is kinda terrible and i know almost if not all third person games in the 90's had awful cameras but still, couple that with human ennemies in TR2 especially (or the atlanteans mutans in TR1) that have way to much health and corner you a lot and it gets really annoying really fast.
There are some graphical glitches here and there but nothing major.
Also literally no graphics settings whatsoever on pc, what are we doing here.
But yeah overall awesome remasters !
The remaster is a bit of a mixed bag, but worth getting for fans.
You can seamlessly switch between the 3 games from the main menu. During gameplay, you can switch on the fly between the original and the remastered graphics, by pressing F1; you can also switch between the modern and tank controls while playing as well.
One downside is that there are no graphics options; you can play the game in borderless fullscreen, or switch to windowed mode.
The remastered FMVs are not that great; they are too blurry, and some of them are too dark, to the point where you cannot really see much of anything. Modders have actually done better jobs at upscaling the original ones.
The new visuals are pretty nice, though they are nothing special; there are new textures, new models, new foliage, new lightning, and the old environmental sprites have been replaced by 3D models. Some level art has been slightly changed, but not by much and the layout of the levels has been preserved (for example, in some cases you'll see an open ceiling with light coming through instead of a closed one).
Graphic mods for the original games will net you similar or better results. In addition, if you use an RTX remix mod as well (only if you have a supported Nvidia GPU), you will also get superior lightning, which can result in a vastly improved visual experience.
The modern controls are fairly bad. They don't work well at all with the game's grid based system. You cannot jump back by tapping backwards; you cannot do a back flip (technically, you can if keep a button pressed to have your weapons drawn, but it still prevents you from doing more complex platforming). Positioning Lara in front of objects is also a pain, because she automatically turns to her side when she reaches a wall.
She also has a habit of getting stuck in environments after interacting with objects, like levers.
Thankfully, all is right in the world when you're using the original (tank) controls, and Lara controls like a dream.
