The recent remaster did such a good job of keeping faithful to the look and charm of the original, while updating it with more detail and higher quality assets like textures. I hope more old games get this sorta treatment.

Anniversary was one of my first games ever played and what started my journey loved TR

Ooh wow, I love the way Francis Folly looks in the 10th Anniversary Edition. Didn't even know it existed.

Remastered for the win! It’s how you remember it the first time you played it. Love that you can toggle between old and updated graphics for that extra nostalgia feel.

I do like how much simpler the environments are to navigate in the other games compared to Anniversary. With the remaster since it’s mostly solid shapes you can easily tell where your meant to go.

The original will always be my favorite, but the Recent remasters are also great if a bit too dark at places.

For people saying 10th Anniversary looks bad: It was a PSP game, the only thing we have is an alpha build partially reworked as an Indiana Jones game once Crystal Dynamics stole the IP. So of course it looks unfinished, because it is.

It surelly is a beautifull recreation, for the most part. It's a shame the actual artstyle is soo gray and boring, and cutting half of the game was a massive letdown. And atlantis was a terrible recriation. In the original you felt you were inside a living being with the pulsating flesh textures in the walls, it was great eldrich horror. Aniversary tonned it down too much to the point it just looks like a normal piramid.

The PsP version had a lot of cool ideas on how to rethink the old designs. I wish Eidos would at least let they finish that project. I like the Crystal Dinamic version too. But its all grey and bland...

So glad I get to p,at the original games, we’ll sort of. I loved the first remake trilogy but not the most recent. I love sassy Lara.

Remaster is an excellent looking update to the original and Anniversary STILL looks gorgeous to this day. Shame the latter REALLY dropped the ball on the look of Atlantis, but honestly, that's the only mark I have against it. 10th Anniversary had some interesting things going for it, but what we got was leagues better to be honest.

exactly, it lost the eldrich horror vibes. It looks soo boring. But I do wish the remaster did a better job with the uv mapping of the textures. It's jarring seeing the obvious seams. If they blended them better, that level could be horrifying.

@Andrew-Bastin

Probably has something to do with the age rating, Anniversary for whatever reason couldn’t show blood without the rating going up, you can imagine how that would’ve impacted the Atlantis levels with the pulsating flesh walls and organic feel. Which is a shame because it would’ve looked fantastic/horrifying if they were aloud to faithful recreate those levels.

By the way Have you seen the 1st sphinx in TR 1 Unfinished Business? It has an obvious wink. I wonder if they kept that for the remaster in the flooded City Of Khamoon.

The Remastered Tomb Raider 1 looks a lot like the other three versions combined together, but follows in the footsteps of the original version.

No matter how she get's changed She'll always be the same ol Lara Croft.

so glad these remastered have turned out so well. Anniversary was such a disappointment for me!

The original is the only TR to me. The rest are just weird. The remaster is fine, but again it just seems odd. It gives it a cutesy look, particularly the player models. I think I will stick to TR1X, TR2Main, Tomb3 on PC.

I prefer the canceled PSP game every time in this comparison. It preserves the original but adds beautiful colored lighting. Crystal Dynamics Anniversary has the typical dull colors from the 7th gen and the latest remaster is too conservative to the source material in my opinion. Too bad that leaked PSP build of the Core remake is so unstable.

I noticed one thing...Lara is a fidget 😆

Picture if they did a tomb raider game Where you could customize Lara anyway you want even turn her Black and change her voice? Or make her a male? One day they'll make something like That. Everybody gonna be doing Nathan drake in tomb raider.

Why does the 1st anniversary look better in every way than the 10th anniversary? :D

@jpro1969

I believe Tomb Raider: 10th anniversary was being worked on in 2005 ( technically 9 years after the original was released) by Core Design and was scrapped. Crystal Dynamics (along with Buzz Monkey Software) worked on Tomb Raider Anniversary in 2006/2007 (basically 11 years after the original was released) after they (Crystal Dynamics) had already made Tomb Raider Legend... so technology was more powerful and of course a finished product will always be more polished and better than an unfinished product.

@marco_voltage

10th aniversary was going to be a PSP exclusive( that's why the graphics look worse) and was being worked on alongside Legend, after the AOD fiasco. Eidos put Cryistal in charge of making the next chapter and gave Core one lest atempt to work in the franchise with this remake. But Crystal pitched their own version to ensure they got to keep Eidos most lucrative IP to themselves and it worked. Core's version was scraped and the studio still tried to convert it into a indiana jones game (that's why you see Nazi flags in natla's mines), but that got canceled too and the studio ultimately was closed.

@Fickji

5 ай бұрын

​@@marco_voltageEidos sold Core to Rebellion in 2006 and that's why Eidos ultimately cancelled 10th Anniversary. Because they wanted to keep the IP in house.

Anniversary did a lot of things well. While at the same time ruining things that really mattered. The positives like her movement. Different wall running puzzles. A few of the levels are sort of improved upon. But at the detriment to some of the others completely losing their charm by taking out the original Vibrant Bold colors that remaster really maintains. And especially condensing some levels in a way they just aren’t the same. Like Palace Midas and the cistern. I really think the obelisk atleast was improved upon in anniversary and Natlas mines which is just awful to play in the old game

Original 💯 then the remaster

Hot take: the Core Design 10th Anniversary version that was cancelled looked pretty awful compared to the other 3, and I think the main reasons people are so crazy about it are either 1) curiosity/nostalgia and 2) hatred for Crystal Dynamics. Even if what we're seeing is unpolished, it just looks like hot garbage. TR Anniversary, while divisive, is pretty underrated in my opinion, and of course the remasters are the best way to experience the game as it was originally intended

I guess you didn't see the 10th Anniversary edition was only designed with PSP in mind. The PSP falls within the PS1 and PS2 graphics capability so no comparison can be fairly made other than artistic choice. It looks like a nice blend of the original style mixed with Crystal's Legend style with higher saturation. TR Anniversary is leaps better looking but has a duller color palette from even the original.

Some people will just hate on Crystal Dynamics and praise Core Design no matter the reason. But I'm sure if Crystal were the ones to put out that Lara model from (the cancelled) Anniversary Edition, they would call it an abomination.

10th Anniversary looks quite bad. Anniversary that released looks fantastic. The remasters look amazing but they could have added boob jiggle to Lara like in Anniversary lol

I know it's incomplete but still, that 10th anniversary edition looks so bad, and since it was supposed to come out at same time as TR Anniversary, it's no wonder why they canned it.

I really wanted to get back into TR with the anniversary edition, but the control scheme is awful and I've heard the remaster is bad too. Couldn't they just upgrade the game and give us back the original PS controls?
