@PassionWagonYT I have faith that they'll add it. They didn't have to give us the scrapped nightmare in Vegas outfit so I feel like they're moving in the right direction 😊
It feels like they know they have super eagle eyed fans. I never even noticed half the things they've fixed. I'm glad they seem to have tweaked the lighting on the remastered visuals to avoid leaving areas too dim.
I have brightened up some of the clip in the dark areas of this video - but overall the lighting is brighter. But the dark areas are still dimly lit as they are meant to be
@@TheGameBreakersUK I was referring to my own experience playing the games since the update. I'm up to tomb of tihocan on new game plus on TR1 and haven't found lighting to be too dark anywhere so far. Which definitely caused me a few issues the first time around.
Another thing I noticed was the addition of electric lamplights across Natla's mines, hanging from cables. This is a nice way to bring more of the original lighting via some realistic means. They also added additional wreckage after detonating the TNT crate
Some play who play in Modern Controls were saying it was broken / unplayable because they couldn't get out of water or small pits using the "Action" button and that's simply because those actions are set to whatever is mapped to "Secondary" This now makes the game confusing for brand new players as there is now no indication on what to press at all whether they are using modern or not... Having said that though they are the original voice lines and in the original there was nothing to indicate what button was mapped to what unless you look at the manual.
@@TheGameBreakersUKThey should have just renamed the Action and Secondary buttons in the Modern Controls menu to “Interact” and “Action (Grip)” respectively, and the dialogues would be correct again.

Yes, I'm sad about it. Favoritism to modern control players... I'm adapted to Tank Controls. Its Nostalgic Value for the voicelines... I complained that to Aspyr and haven't gotten a word and heres the reason for this....
@@MegaMan87 You should complain to Sony and Nintendo, not Aspyr. It wasn't their decision. The buttons are called differently in each console, it's a brand problem. Sony - directional buttons; Microsoft - d-pad; Nintendo - control buttons; Steam/GOG/EGS - don't care. That's why the lines were only removed on console, but kept on the PC.
Hi there Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. Please put back the lines to the original format, thank you. Many players are in fact playing the game and those of us who play it properly with the original controls are not bothered. New players can adjust or look up many of the videos on the internet. I paid for the originals in tact.
Its a Real Hypocritical and Over Innovative move they made. There are Options either they do Tank Controls or Modern Controls, If they ever wanted to do Tank Controls just keep all the voice lines while Tank mode is Selected from the Options, If Modern Controls are Selected, At least keep some Voicelines Active or Inactive in Relations to Alienate References of Tank Controls Such as D-pad or Any other buttons non-Affiliated with them. Could've done them just fairly for Nostalgic Values for what we love back in our PS1 days...
Why couldn't they have locked the extra dialogue away if you were using Modern controls but turned it back on if you were using the tank control option? I mean, if you can turn that on and off at will, why can't you assign the dialogue to play with it when you have the proper control scheme? That doesn't seem too difficult to program.
You can re-map the controls so by having lets say the following line in the subtitles "Press the Jump Button (Square)" - You remap the jump button from Square to X the prompt is then different to the controls again. so altering the subtitles won't really be the answer.
Say "NO" to post- purchase modifications. Buy a physical copy. The real issue is the fact that the game is able to be post-purchase modified seemingly at will by the seller. It's like you buying a cheeseburger, and then the seller removes the cheese *after you purchased and brought home a cheeseburger*. You physically had a burger with cheese and they removed the cheese from you. You didn't buy a hamburger, you bought a *CHEESE*burger, they're stealing from you by means of the EULA in the digital versions. They have actually legalized theft. You can't return a modded game, so why should the seller be able to modify what you decided to purchase. If the seller can modify your copy, you do have the legal right to unpurchase the modifications, and return the game for a refund. Just buy the physical copies. Or better yet the originals. Screw the digital marketplaces; screw the new guys who are just meddling with something they didn't create; screw hamburgers, I want cheesburgers!
Good morning everyone, I'd like to share observations regarding the improvements made in the April patch of TOMB RAIDER REMASTERED: - In the TOMB RAIDER 1, Lost Valley, upon entry, at the waterfall to the left, there was no sound present. This issue has been fixed. - In the TOMB RAIDER 2 cutscene, during Lara's conversation with the Monk and when Marco Bartoli kills the Monk, now the gunfire from the pistols is visible. - Similarly, in TOMB RAIDER 3's cutscene set in Antarctica, during Willard's escape with the four artifacts, the gunfire from the pistols is now visible. Additionally, I would like to add that in the inventory, when starting the game, it always positioned you on the one from TOMB RAIDER 1. However, now, for instance, if you exit the game while in TOMB RAIDER 3, upon returning, it directly takes you to the inventory of TOMB RAIDER 3. Essentially, it now remembers the last TOMB RAIDER you exited from, so that you'll find yourself there when reopening the game.
@GioserP, may I ask whether the gunfire in the Thames Wharf cutscene (the one with bell tower) had added the flashes as well? I haven’t reached the level yet 😅❤
I really don't like the removal of content, voice lines, from the game on console. And that they couldn't own up to it and say that the lines were removed in the patch notes. Luckily people like you catch these hidden changes. If this is what they are going to do to the games, then they shouldn't have made these remasters, and instead just remade the games, and go in whatever direction they wanted. To censor the game for whatever reason, included the console's meddling, is wrong. It guts what is the original intended vision of the game, and is now no longer the the experience we thought, and were led to believe, we were buying. Very disappointing. I appreciate you covering these changes and bringing them to light. You have a new sub, and a like on the video, from me.
I'm not sure why they couldn't appease the companys by removing the dialogue only in Modern control mode. The control instructions for the action buttons and d pad are still true in tank control mode.
Things like that are why I'm VERY reluctant to update games until I learn what the patch does. Unless it's an online game that I won't be able to play at all if I don't update it. As of now I'm keeping the previous version and not installing the patch.
@@tacticaljunk1608 the game probably doesn't differentiate between control schemes content-wise, so they couldn't get them not to play only in certain mode.
@@tacticaljunk1608 Yes, being as tank was the only control setting when the game was made. It should be obvious to us if we change the control setting to modern that the instructions will not match the new settings. And I'd imagine to 99 % of us it is. If the consoles were so worried that we as gamers couldn't figure out why the instructions didn't match, then they could have put a disclaimer for changing the control setting the first time the game was installed. But they shouldn't remove dialogue. We were told we were buying the original games with updated visuals. Now on console that is no longer true. What is to stop them from removing more content in the future? The games should remain complete, not have content removed. Hopefully they will add the dialogue back in a future patch. But I doubt it.
@@darkcat5823 You have a really good point. Unfortunately a lot of us, myself included, didn't think we shouldn't update the game. The first update to it in my opinion was a very good one. This update would have been also, if not for the removal of content. I' m glad to hear you were able to keep your game complete.
A lot of people are really mad about the removed tutorial voice lines. I don’t see why it couldn’t have been tied to toggling on or off with the modern/tank control settings. If you have tank controls on they play. If you have modern they don’t. Atleast that’s what I feel like would make the most sense. But it sounds like it was a forced change from higher ups idk
disappointed with the voice lines being removed, it's not a major issue, but it is still content being taken out of a product I paid for and is a problem overall with modern gaming as anything can be removed after purchase, which is wrong
I've noticed that when you reach the 1st secret of the St. Francis' Folly, that the skybox can now be seen (whereas it was, and still is, an entire ceiling in the OG graphics), letting in some nice lighting; I like the way that it's been done too. Also, the hanging lanterns in the Natla's mine level is a really nice touch too.
They still have the pixelated version in the original graphics. I know that doesn't really make up for it though. From what I have read they are Lara Croft posters signed as Laura Cruz and they were removed on Crystal Dynamics Request
@@TheGameBreakersUK Crystal Dynamics had no input in making these remasters, it was all AspyrMedia so they don't really have any rights to request anything, let alone put their pathetic disclaimer on the game when you first boot it up and go though the EULA. Laura Cruz was the original inception of Lara though, but Core wanted her to be an English Aristocrat not a Spanish- American maybe there is a copyright issue there. I personally should just play the game, find all the collectibles kill all creatures/human enemies and not be bothered about little details here and there.
When I played in Lara's Manor, it just felt off when Lara didn't tell me to "jump to the side." I hope they update again so Modern Control users have lesser voicelines, whereas Tank Control users have all of them And also, why do the Tank Controls feel smoother than the Modern Controls?
@sinn0.h756: Duh, because the game is built for it that's why. The tutorial in the Manor is built around the original controls thus it is best to use those and get used to them as the Modern controls suck.
makes no sense really - If you change back to classic graphics you can see both of her legs are cut and bloody yet in the remastered graphics its just the one.
The booting to the last played game (I, II or III) sounds like the most insignificant thing ever, but *feels* like a big QoL change, ngl. 😅 EDIT: Regarding the lines: I thought I was going crazy! I tried everything to trigger them, but nah, they're gone. 😢
Yes. It was a dumb knee-jerk reaction to satisfy whinging youtube streamers who refused the original controls. They could of just added some text in brackets to satisfy them instead deleting the text entirely. (myself, I spent time learning the original controls)
They need to add level select and an unlock-able option for unlimited resources. PS versions had this by default after completing the main game. Would be great to have them as options. I do otherwise appreciate the team for going this far into updating, otherwise. Edit: and yes, the voices need to come back. At least make it trigger-able for the tank controls.
They still haven't solved the back flip issue with modern controls as far as I can see. I know there are ways of doing one, but they are not always easy. I much prefer the modern controls now after a lot of practice. However, there are still things I find impossible or extremely difficult with modern controls. Not many. Parts where Lara has to crouch down and move around can be awkward. Particularly in one of the London levels in TR3. I move her forward in a crouched position, approach the ledge, and press the button to make her roll, but I can't get her to hang on to ledge. She always falls to the floor, which means death. It's so easy with tank controls. I'm sure there must be a way of doing it, other than briefly reverting to tank controls, but I haven't found it yet.
I noticed another change after update 2, in the Temple of the Cat level. In the room where you get the last secret, where you must exit through a window with a fake window grille, this grille was removed when you are inside the room, it is only visible when you are outside.
0:50 I still get the American logos when English is selected, even after patch 2 is installed. I'm in South America, by the way, and our logos were always the american ones, so I prefer them for nostalgia - and aesthetic - reasons. I'm playing the GOG version.
It's been confirmed since this video was published that it's region locked - I'm in the UK so we should have gotten the UK/European logo but we got the American one instead
Instead removing the lines completely, they should of added some text in brackets with something like this for example... (for modern controls use the secondary action button).
Nice upgrades. The removal of voice lines was super disapointing. They should at least have kept them for those who play classic controls. Also, not mentioned in the video, but we now know that they removed Lara's posters from the level "Sleeping with the fishes" (TR3 The losl artifact). Yeah, more stupid censorship. Fortunately for PC players, on based mods website a mod to bring the posters back is already available.
The posters are the most obvious one that a lot of people were talking about so i decided not to include it in the video. The posters are still there in there pixelated form in the originals graphics.
I've been absolutely loving this remaster since I first got it. After this shit I fought back by using mods to restore the removed stuff and backed up the game away from Steam just in-case they try anything else.
This wont be my only comment, but didn't they also say they fixed the braid's "breathing power"? Is there any other improvements to her braids (like physics) besides that and the size/length change?
I haven't noticed anything personally. It still moves over her shoulder on occasion. If you noticed though In the Launch / Title Update 1 version one of the "Bubbles" on her braid turns into a thin line when she is stood still. This doesn't happen in Title Update 2
@@TheGameBreakersUKI think they are referring to the fact that the knots in Lara’s braid used to pulsate like they were breathing. They no longer do that (as much).
Add back the infinite ammo for all secrets. I miss blasting through after i beat the game normally. Make it an option or something, right next to an option for wearing the different outfits..
Upset about lines, that means its no longer true to the original. Surely they can just make it so they are only removed when you have modern controls selected?!
New Lara s braid is not good ,is not the same of the loading screen image with 10 ball, before was perfect with 7 ball and same as the picture loading screen this is an error ask please at the developers to restore previous braid with 7 ball
That's an awesome observation! Was there ever any cuts and blood after loosing the T-Rex fight in the very first original 1996 game or was it only added in this release? I never noticed it back in the day?
It was there in the original 1996 release but hard to see as the camera is fixed to position and you can freely more it to see if "Bloody Lara" model more clearly. - which of course you can do now
Not necessarily all parts. There are parts in TR2 and TR3 that are meant to be in the darkness and the original was too bright originally. Other areas of the original were too dark so the ceilings have been opened up in places to allow light in
@@TheGameBreakersUK Unfortunately, the Switch version is very dark, but on the computer it is normal in general. We hope for an increase in brightness in the upcoming updates to the Switch version. Thank you.
Hello. If you load a save previous to update 2 of nigthmare in vegas, you still have the classic 2 outfit. I dont know if this can be fixed, but if you want to replay nigthmare in vegas with the new outfit i guess youll have to load a save from the previous level with al secrets finded. At least for now
It's because the outfit gets saved into your save file, and what tells the game to load up a specific outfit only happens when the level starts. Same reason why the outfit changer mod on PC (the one that doesn't require swapping files manually) doesn't restart your outfit every time you load a save, unlike the glasses Easter egg
that's what has been mentioned several times but you can use the left stick to move in tank controls as well so "Use the D-Pad" line is redundant. Plus you can re-map the controls in either control scheme. The only difference in modern controls is that you have Action and Secondary but both are actions buttons and are programmed to do different things
I'm wondering when they will start doing improvements on the expansions, like a new game plus after you finish them for example. Or maybe after tou finish the original games you already start the expansions instead of just selecting them in the main menus
In Modern Controls, if you keep running and jumping, I noticed that Lara jumps way quicker (she does the “one-two” step much faster)… was this a change in update 2 as well?
It was implemented already in Update 1 unfortunately. Players used to Modern Control scheme complained about the delay in jumping, when in fact, that is the way it’s supposed to be. In Tank Controls though, the delay was retained as originally programmed, and I’m glad they didn’t change it😊
Whitch version is best to play? Still PC on Epic? I want to play on Switch and it's possible we can get better(fixed) version on all platforms and PC(Steam) also?
@@ToBison86 The version dubbed the "Epic Games Version" was the patch 1 development build that shouldn't of been released, It got reverted to match every other systems - this means every version of every system was on the launch version, they then all updated through title update 1 and then 2 when it was released. All systems will update through patch 3 at the same time when that patch is released.
Right now I have a problem: In TR 3 in Nevada Desert level whenever I pull the lever to raise the dam, my game freezes/jams. Like whatever I do I can't progress. Hopefully if there's enough notes to Aspyr a new patch comes soon to fix it. I wanto complete my TR3 all secrets run! I play on ps4.
@@Sk4tman91It's just because they must've made changes to the level and your old save file was incompatible, the issue will be less and less relevant as time goes on
The voice lines are bad at tutorializing players? I have a better idea - revamp the whole thing. Add a new page to the passport with all the moves and button combinations. It's not only voice lines problem, Croft Manor as a whole sucks as a tutorial, especially in 2 and 3.
You have to remember when these games were initially released the controls were more often than not listed in the manual that came with the game and people actually looked at them more back in the day
@@FryazinoStation The controls are there in the menus though under "Change controls" and they are completely re-mappable anyway. Example you use tank controls on Playstation but change Jump from Square to X because that is where jump is on pretty much every other game an you're used to it like that... Voice line stays the same as it was originally but the subtitle updates to say - "Press the jump button (Square)". you press it and nothing happens... Because it was remapped in the controls... People would then complain that the controls are buggy and don't work.
They changed Lara braid before was with 7 ball now after the patch is with 10 ball the problem is the new braid don t correspond with the picture of loading screen level where Lara braid is with 7 ball the developers have fixed the bug of the braid yes but they added 3 more ball and this is an error

I personally should just play the game, find all the collectibles kill all creatures/human enemies and not be bothered about little details here and there.
When I played in Lara's Manor, it just felt off when Lara didn't tell me to "jump to the side." I hope they update again so Modern Control users have lesser voicelines, whereas Tank Control users have all of them
And also, why do the Tank Controls feel smoother than the Modern Controls?
@sinn0.h756: Duh, because the game is built for it that's why. The tutorial in the Manor is built around the original controls thus it is best to use those and get used to them as the Modern controls suck.
The buttons like the ones in TR2 and TR3’s houses now have a brighter color as do the black switches with red and blue colors!
Why did the update 2 make Lara LESS bloody after T-Rex? Isn't that making it worse?
makes no sense really - If you change back to classic graphics you can see both of her legs are cut and bloody yet in the remastered graphics its just the one.
So thankful for these vids! Here's hoping they continue with updates for these games, and for more of your vids. Excellent job
Patch 3 has been announced as coming soon. No official date for it though
They should have left the original content alone.
Nice, the next update I would like is the option to change into any outfit at any time while playing on the console that would be great!
All I need is an outfit selcet button, it would be absolutely criminal to lock the Nightmare in Vegas outfit to 1 level
Am I the only one who thinks this outfit looks really ugly 😭😭
The booting to the last played game (I, II or III) sounds like the most insignificant thing ever, but *feels* like a big QoL change, ngl. 😅
EDIT: Regarding the lines: I thought I was going crazy! I tried everything to trigger them, but nah, they're gone. 😢
Wait...so how are people supposed to follow the tutorials if you took out the instructions and replaced it with nothing??😡😖😕😕😵💫😕😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
The worse thing about this is that there's an achievement/trophy for following the tutorial, which is now impossible without using a guide.
Yes. It was a dumb knee-jerk reaction to satisfy whinging youtube streamers who refused the original controls. They could of just added some text in brackets to satisfy them instead deleting the text entirely. (myself, I spent time learning the original controls)
TheGameBreakersUK, Subscribed because your videos are so much fun!
Thanks for subbing! I will have more in the future
They need to add level select and an unlock-able option for unlimited resources. PS versions had this by default after completing the main game. Would be great to have them as options. I do otherwise appreciate the team for going this far into updating, otherwise.
Edit: and yes, the voices need to come back. At least make it trigger-able for the tank controls.
They still haven't solved the back flip issue with modern controls as far as I can see. I know there are ways of doing one, but they are not always easy. I much prefer the modern controls now after a lot of practice. However, there are still things I find impossible or extremely difficult with modern controls. Not many. Parts where Lara has to crouch down and move around can be awkward. Particularly in one of the London levels in TR3. I move her forward in a crouched position, approach the ledge, and press the button to make her roll, but I can't get her to hang on to ledge. She always falls to the floor, which means death. It's so easy with tank controls. I'm sure there must be a way of doing it, other than briefly reverting to tank controls, but I haven't found it yet.
I noticed another change after update 2, in the Temple of the Cat level. In the room where you get the last secret, where you must exit through a window with a fake window grille, this grille was removed when you are inside the room, it is only visible when you are outside.
@Pyke_: Does that really matter, I was more interested in actually getting the "Gift of Wonderland" trophy on the PS5 to notice stuff like that.
That's how it's always been with the original graphics, and it makes sense because that's the only way to exit the secret area as far as I know
They also fixed the bug where Lara could use dual handed guns on boats
0:50 I still get the American logos when English is selected, even after patch 2 is installed. I'm in South America, by the way, and our logos were always the american ones, so I prefer them for nostalgia - and aesthetic - reasons. I'm playing the GOG version.
It's been confirmed since this video was published that it's region locked - I'm in the UK so we should have gotten the UK/European logo but we got the American one instead
Wow that leopard print cat suit eh! ... 💓
It's hideous
"You, lady in a leopard dress. You have an amazing rack. Should have been a fuckin cop."
-Hangover
They have fixed the trophy for the hidden uzis in the Return to Egypt levels in 1.
that was fixed in Title Update 1 ;)
Instead removing the lines completely, they should of added some text in brackets with something like this for example... (for modern controls use the secondary action button).
that would work but not everyone plays with the subtitles on.
I’m now going to buy the pc version to make sure I have all voice lines! Love the braid update ❤
Nice upgrades. The removal of voice lines was super disapointing. They should at least have kept them for those who play classic controls. Also, not mentioned in the video, but we now know that they removed Lara's posters from the level "Sleeping with the fishes" (TR3 The losl artifact). Yeah, more stupid censorship. Fortunately for PC players, on based mods website a mod to bring the posters back is already available.
The posters are the most obvious one that a lot of people were talking about so i decided not to include it in the video.
The posters are still there in there pixelated form in the originals graphics.
I've been absolutely loving this remaster since I first got it. After this shit I fought back by using mods to restore the removed stuff and backed up the game away from Steam just in-case they try anything else.
This wont be my only comment, but didn't they also say they fixed the braid's "breathing power"? Is there any other improvements to her braids (like physics) besides that and the size/length change?
I haven't noticed anything personally. It still moves over her shoulder on occasion.
If you noticed though In the Launch / Title Update 1 version one of the "Bubbles" on her braid turns into a thin line when she is stood still. This doesn't happen in Title Update 2
@@TheGameBreakersUKI think they are referring to the fact that the knots in Lara’s braid used to pulsate like they were breathing. They no longer do that (as much).
@@alan85 yes it seems a more stable asset now after the amendment to the texture
Add back the infinite ammo for all secrets. I miss blasting through after i beat the game normally. Make it an option or something, right next to an option for wearing the different outfits..
Upset about lines, that means its no longer true to the original.
Surely they can just make it so they are only removed when you have modern controls selected?!
If there is code that changes fall damage there should be code added for this
A lot of textures are almost perfect, but sand's textures are worst than original ones, rock textures could be better
The lava is a downgrade for sure, generic orange soup instead of that awesome hot cracked magma look.
I have to agree with this the new Lava doesn't look good. and seems to have more orange and less detail in it
New Lara s braid is not good ,is not the same of the loading screen image with 10 ball, before was perfect with 7 ball and same as the picture loading screen this is an error ask please at the developers to restore previous braid with 7 ball
That's an awesome observation! Was there ever any cuts and blood after loosing the T-Rex fight in the very first original 1996 game or was it only added in this release? I never noticed it back in the day?
There was
It was there in the original 1996 release but hard to see as the camera is fixed to position and you can freely more it to see if "Bloody Lara" model more clearly. - which of course you can do now
Have they increased the lighting level in all parts? Because I still feel completely dark when playing
Not necessarily all parts.
There are parts in TR2 and TR3 that are meant to be in the darkness and the original was too bright originally.
Other areas of the original were too dark so the ceilings have been opened up in places to allow light in
@@TheGameBreakersUK
Unfortunately, the Switch version is very dark, but on the computer it is normal in general. We hope for an increase in brightness in the upcoming updates to the Switch version. Thank you.
Hello. If you load a save previous to update 2 of nigthmare in vegas, you still have the classic 2 outfit. I dont know if this can be fixed, but if you want to replay nigthmare in vegas with the new outfit i guess youll have to load a save from the previous level with al secrets finded. At least for now
that's the way I had to do it. load the previous level, finish it then then nightmare in vegas loads with the new outfit
It's because the outfit gets saved into your save file, and what tells the game to load up a specific outfit only happens when the level starts.
Same reason why the outfit changer mod on PC (the one that doesn't require swapping files manually) doesn't restart your outfit every time you load a save, unlike the glasses Easter egg
Maybe they removed the lines because of the modern controls. Frankly, they don't make sense listening to once we get the modern controls on.
that's what has been mentioned several times but you can use the left stick to move in tank controls as well so "Use the D-Pad" line is redundant.
Plus you can re-map the controls in either control scheme. The only difference in modern controls is that you have Action and Secondary but both are actions buttons and are programmed to do different things
Can we please just get outfit selections 😭😭
I agree. I wanna do a new game with a new costume playing around.
So how do I get the American logo back? Is there an American English language option?
There is no American English option
@@TheGameBreakersUK It seems I still have the American logos after the update, so it might be tied to the region version of the game.
I'm wondering when they will start doing improvements on the expansions, like a new game plus after you finish them for example. Or maybe after tou finish the original games you already start the expansions instead of just selecting them in the main menus
*_But what about the now missing locker-room posters?_* 🤔
As I said in the video I haven't featured all the changes.
The camera is not centered on the head (again)
Tomb Raider 4 Easter Egg 24.4.2024 ??? no announcement yet ???
In Modern Controls, if you keep running and jumping, I noticed that Lara jumps way quicker (she does the “one-two” step much faster)… was this a change in update 2 as well?
It was implemented already in Update 1 unfortunately. Players used to Modern Control scheme complained about the delay in jumping, when in fact, that is the way it’s supposed to be.
In Tank Controls though, the delay was retained as originally programmed, and I’m glad they didn’t change it😊
They removed the Lara pictures from the locker in TR3 Lost Artifact.
Its been announced that the posters will return in Patch 3 - I have done an update video on this story
@@TheGameBreakersUK oh, ok thats new for me
@@ad3mn I have done a video on it ;)
Great vid
Whitch version is best to play? Still PC on Epic? I want to play on Switch and it's possible we can get better(fixed) version on all platforms and PC(Steam) also?
All versions are now the same as each other and have been since Title Update 1
@@TheGameBreakersUK Update 1? I se there are 2 updates and people are talking about 3rd patch and wishes ;)
@@ToBison86 The version dubbed the "Epic Games Version" was the patch 1 development build that shouldn't of been released, It got reverted to match every other systems - this means every version of every system was on the launch version, they then all updated through title update 1 and then 2 when it was released.
All systems will update through patch 3 at the same time when that patch is released.
I hope there's a mod to restore those lines of dialogue.
On the PC version nothing changed regarding the dialogues though
Right now I have a problem: In TR 3 in Nevada Desert level whenever I pull the lever to raise the dam, my game freezes/jams. Like whatever I do I can't progress. Hopefully if there's enough notes to Aspyr a new patch comes soon to fix it. I wanto complete my TR3 all secrets run! I play on ps4.
You have to restart the level.
@@RainaAudron Does it work? I don't wanna restart then just see i doesn't work.
@@RainaAudron I did and it worked. Thanks. Let's hope this get fixed soon so that not everyone has to restart in their playthroughs.
@@Sk4tman91 Glad to hear! It's not something which could be fixed another way, unfortunately.
@@Sk4tman91It's just because they must've made changes to the level and your old save file was incompatible, the issue will be less and less relevant as time goes on
No me gusta que le quiten cosas que ya tenía. Eso me esta decepcionando.
I'm British but I personally love the US logo more than the UK or Pal one
The voice lines are bad at tutorializing players? I have a better idea - revamp the whole thing. Add a new page to the passport with all the moves and button combinations. It's not only voice lines problem, Croft Manor as a whole sucks as a tutorial, especially in 2 and 3.
You have to remember when these games were initially released the controls were more often than not listed in the manual that came with the game and people actually looked at them more back in the day
@@TheGameBreakersUK exactly. And there is no manual in the remaster since it's a download-only release, so no way to learn/review controls.
@@FryazinoStation The controls are there in the menus though under "Change controls" and they are completely re-mappable anyway.
Example you use tank controls on Playstation but change Jump from Square to X because that is where jump is on pretty much every other game an you're used to it like that... Voice line stays the same as it was originally but the subtitle updates to say - "Press the jump button (Square)". you press it and nothing happens... Because it was remapped in the controls... People would then complain that the controls are buggy and don't work.
That is obnoxious fix it.
These changes are dumb. I'll just pirate this game if I want to play it.
Show the character models were changed so what
They changed Lara braid before was with 7 ball now after the patch is with 10 ball the problem is the new braid don t correspond with the picture of loading screen level where Lara braid is with 7 ball the developers have fixed the bug of the braid yes but they added 3 more ball and this is an error
