The modern trilogy are awful and forgettable AAA games without soul.
The trilogy before it was actually way better. Legend was incredibly fun, though simple and short. But it hit the right notes for me back then. Anniversary I was conflicted on. Underworld was underrated. It had some excellent level design but ended rather abruptly, this game had obvious development issues.
As for the original games. TR1 is likely the best one. TR2 while still good doubled down on the quite awful combat. TR3 was insanely difficult, especially on PS1 with limited saves. TLR was underrated, I think there was some fatigue going on but it was actually a very solid game. Chronicles was sort of eh, felt like a cash in. Never played AoD, and many didn't as the series died after it (until Legend).

Was going to get it on Steam but I only found out today that it is Play Anywhere. That tipped it for me. Well worth the risk of being persecutedOh nice I didn’t know that it is a Play Anywhere game. That makes it even harder to choose between the Switch and the Xbox version

these new screenshots doesn't really show much of the " dynamic lightning but i hope thats just because its not in motion... anyways that lion sure is something xD
But yeah overall pretty fateful to the originals not changing to much and what is changed might make more sense or is better for it. i still am curious how the water will feel like swimming through, they could really had gone all out there but judging by screenshot it doesn't seem like they have done much really. well it is what it is i still want it day one.

I have these originals on duckstation and the 3d widescreen hack is such a cool feature (especially for mgs1). Might have to cram a quick playthru to refresh my memory before these HD versions drop. Looking so good!
Someone told me theres no chance of them having HDR (i was joking about it anyway) but those screenshots are looking pretty close to HDR! lol
back in my day we didn't have all this fancy preview business, just waited until the release date for the moment of truth! im getting that old school uncertainty nostalgia from this release too, but in a good way!

I’m gonna rage if it is not at least 75-80 fps.It says on the Xbox store page that it’s 60+ fps. I hope this means there’ll be a 120fps mode

Wait what? How do they expect to get away with it? I may end up picking the PS4 version on purpose despite planning to play it on the PS5. It's not like the games are going to get some huge PS5 performance boosts.
Or maybe the Series X version won't get less trophies.

What can I say, it looks good. A bit too cartoonish from the pics, but I hope the final lighting is better.
The different look in TR1 may also be due to better draw distance, which was admittedly pretty poor in the original, but it did wonders for the atmosphere of the game.

I bought it but I wonder if they can implement RTX remix just like OpenLara

If it's possible modders will find a way! I just saw a demo of the original Tomb Raider on PC with RTX Remix and it looks bad! Here's a link and you can judge for yourself:
Notice the animals Lara kills are now what appear to me as robotic in nature. Don't know whose working on this, but it looks terrible and the PETA style BS needs to be removed. Thankfully nothing is stopping other modders out there to give the new trilogy a go, or even take the original PC release and do a better job than what is shown in that fugly Youtube video.

This is what RTX Remix does? Puts random lights everywhere to saturate and contrast the original image? Looks so fucking wrong.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
Did you play the DLC that is still exclusive to Xbox.?

No, you can change textures completely to modern standards. This modder just sucks at what they are doing or wants to keep the old look with the crappy lighting and changing animals into enemy robots.
Here is what it looks like when someone is competent using RTX Remix:

I'm really liking the look of these shots, particularly that it's slightly stylized and colorful which the original games certainly were.

Well yes, if it isn't that obvious from my statement, I do have the OpenLara RTX. I wanted to see how the new lighting works in the game and not too concerned about the "edits" the modder made. Not so sure why you have to bring up the video. My point being is whether the game files will allow for RTX remix to be utilized since it's based on the same game engine.

Being digital, I most definitely will wait for sales. Especially non Nintendo games usually go on sale pretty quick.

Sony's stupid decision to make platinum trophies difficult
I'll have to play the PS4 version, or I'll just buy the game on PC
These are games that I've already finished, if it's just for the graphics, PC will always have an advantage
I usually buy it on PS5 for the trophies

Are you telling me you haven’t played INSIDE?

I haven't but that's more of an indie game right? Something like that i'd have no choice or wait on PS+.
But "larger" more recognized releases need a disc for me. Especially a childhood favorite such as this.

Tank controls will be there as an option. They will also offer modern controls with right analogue stick for rotating. Obviously it's still not gonna play as smooth as the later games, but at the end of the day they're only remasters.
