- Tomb Raider on the Saturn was rushed for an early release; with slight differences compared to the PlayStation. Here is a side by side comparison of the two versions.
PAL is the European release of the game.
Sega Saturn (PAL) release date - 25th October 1996.
PlayStation (PAL) release date - 22nd November 1996.
More information:
General
- Holding roll makes her unable to turn
- It appears most of the Saturn versions have sound missing
- Level skip and all weapons cheat doesn't work on PAL
Palace Midas
- Large medipacks lose the red cross colour from here onwards
The Cistern
- Didn't manage to get this in the video. PAL Saturn exclusive bonk - • Sega Saturn (PAL) - Ex...
Tomb of Tihocan
- Texture glitch at the last lever happens on PAL and NTSC
- Repeated dialogue with save/load happens on all the console versions, not on PC
- Crash happens when you trigger the centaur, don't kill it, save/load, trigger it again and run out of the room. This happens on all versions, including on PC. Thought it was cool to show it.
City of Khamoon
- Green texture seems to be present on all Saturn versions
- Roll eject is more precise on Saturn (PAL). Instead of holding roll and action, you need to hit roll for 1 frame, then action straight after
Obelisk of Khamoon
- Panther could be missing on all Saturn versions
Sanctuary of the Scion
- Platform missing on all Saturn versions
- Gate opens without picking up scarab on all Saturn versions
Atlantis
- Lava platform room on floor trigger happens on all Saturn versions
- Rolling, or even embedding triggers the scion pedestal sound (easiest way to get it consistently for comparison)
The Great Pyramid
- The pyramid skip onto the Scion platform doesn't work because you can't travel between rooms with the no space clamp bug

On reflection, the more vibrant and crisp textures for the Saturn version don't work quite as well as the PS1's more muted textures when viewed up close. The PS1 has more sophisticated lighting, in fact I assume the Saturn's lighting is kind of a hack and maybe included in the textures.
Also, the omission of the sexy hand stand on the Saturn is a pity.
This was a good clear comparison video, using the whole screen, unlike vcdecide which puts everything in a box and plays both simultaneously with the sound which is chaotic and confusing sometimes. So I prefer this approach to comparing games.
Thanks for the video. You took the time to highlight key points that set the two versions apart.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
This is exactly the video I was looking for. Great comparison!
Also Saturn doesn't have a pause feature like the PlayStation so your inventory is your pause on the Saturn.
The PS1 version was way superior, I had both. Saturn Version struggled to hit 20 fps, PS1 was a constant 30 fps.
Great comparison, thanks
Lara screaming in the Saturn version sounds like a firework going off XD
Tomb Raider Anniversary
"I prefer the real Lara"
Tomb Raider (PS1)
"I said the real Lara"
Tomb Raider (Sega Saturn)
"Perfection"
14:40............I was shocked myself playing that area of where you fell of the ledge instead of sliding down in the PlayStation version.
The first time I rolled off like normal then realised I was screaming to my death haha :D
Wowww nice Uzi sound loop.
I prefer the ps1 version because of its clean, polished, & better controls but I can see why people like the gritter Saturn version also.
*SATURN wins and PS is too easy with game saves every where* ⭐️
The Saturn has better colour depth and graphic design, whereas the PS1 version it's lighter, but looks all drained out and Lara looks stretched. It seems that the developers design the Saturn version as the lead format and then ported the PlayStation and PC versions with added features and sound effects.
And this opinion is from somebody who grew up playing the PlayStation version.
Paul Douglas confirmed that the 3 versions were developed simultaneously :)
Keep in mind also this is the pal versions which are the worst versions of any classic/retro game.
It was developed for all three systems simultaneously. However, the PC version looks the best, and it is obvious that the developers were using the PC version as the template for the game design. The limited save crystals feature is just a pain to deal with on Saturn/PS1.
@@Rocket1377 actually Core Design used the Ps1 as the base template for Tomb Raider. It wasn’t until last revelation where they decided to put PC first over console.
Sadly classic tomb Raider was held back due to the ps1 being put first over everything else. Even the Old Core Team admits this in interviews.
How about comparing the Japanese trikore version to the ps version? I tried comparing Them for myself. The Japanese version is much improved.
The Japanese version was released later and has had some bugs fixed, just like the NTSC version (and the PS1 versions). It does still share a few of the Saturn only stuff, like missing sounds etc. The most notable difference I can think of are the weapons - the magnums and shotgun deal a lot more damage. Maybe I will look into comparing it in the future :D
the saturn feels a bit rushed ngl
heard Eidos secured the deal with Sega at the last minute so Core had to rush rush rush
@@kevv95 awwww smh
both look very similar
SATURN>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>PS
15:27 what just happened? 😂😂😂
The satrun viner
Saturn all the way.
Texturas e cores melhores no Saturn Saturn wins
saturn port looks to shit...just psx
a versão do PlayStation tem profundidade de cores e texturas a baixo do Saturn veja como em vários lugares as cores do PlayStation tem tudo um tom de cinza e quando tem cor parece que todas as paredes foram lavadas com vassoura e água sanitária e sem falar nas texturas q tem detalhes muito inferio acho que esse é o motivo do PlayStation ter desempenho maior em muitos jogos pode parecer que não mas cores e texturas em menor qualidade melhora o desempenho mas a versão do PlayStation e a mais famosa devido ao sucesso de vendas do PlayStation.
SATURN WIN! MORE CREEPY DARK ATMOSPHERE & BEST WATER EFFECTS & COLOUR
