This remaster is literally gold its my favorite series, ever.
IMO its definitely a good remaster which is music to my ears! Its just a shame the remastered material (models, textures & lighting) is sometimes (sometimes!) actually worse than the 96-98 material, even though its 2024. And whats crazy is atleast 2 game breaking bugs from TR3 still haven't been fixed even now.
Still I don't want to sound too negative; this IS a good remaster, and I've been mostly loving it from start to finish. It DESERVES a proper (disc) release and some major updates so it can be the treasure its meant to be.
@@ncshuriken It is getting a disc release though! they're gonna be releasing it for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and PC I believe
Gold and Cotton Candy are two different things. It like comparing a strawberry with a house, because technically you could also live in a strawberry if you find one big enough.
I absolutely loved it! Hope they do TLR
The milky water is definitely an issue that I also noticed and hope they address in a future patch. I still extremely appreciate the fact that they keep patching the game and adding new features though. It's unfortunate that the latest patch introduced issues that weren't there before, but I mean, these things happen, and I'm sure they gonna fix it.
Compared to the "remastered" versions of the PS1 Final Fantasy games or Metal Gear Solid, it's a night-and-day difference in terms of quality. So much love and care was put into the TR1-3 collection, that it has become the definitive version of these games.
They need to fix the Modern Controls
@@Mrpinkmustache what do you think needs fixing?
@@TheGameBreakersUK If you crouch in somewhere in Tomb Raider 3 if you touch the wall Lara gets stuck and I have to switch to the tank controls to get her unstuck and In the temple of Xian Level in Tomb Raider 2 the ladder that leads to the end of the level Lara won't go down or up probably I have to switch the tank controls Its so annoying Lol
@@MrpinkmustacheIf you get stuck crouching in modern control you can hold walk button to make Lara crouching backwards and unstuck herself .
@@Tombbistol I'll try that
Needs more outfits. No golden Lara is a crime.
I'm loving Patch 3 so far and haven't run into any significant issues. I can wait for patch 4 happily. 😊
Also, to note that when completing the original game, *New Game +* originally gave the player access to all weapons and infinite ammo... I'd like to see a *New Game ++* where this is added.
More like having a cheat to be unlocked in extras rather then having cheat codes to button the combination. So that can work on only the one of three games unless they were beaten respectably (not sure new game or new game +).
I refuse to have another New Game ++ that is too much memory to ask for and refuse to play the Remaster do to framerates having issues in Atlantis levels.
I know that cheat should be respected to be unlocked and that is the only idea way to play through it for each game though question. Though how Aspyr is going to approach it.🤔
@@dragtogo2735 New Game + should not have been a hard mode it should have been what it was originally... They should just have an option for which New Game + you want to play.
@@TheTombRaider Oh like having different modes of difficulty someone mentioned that I don't want to say me because it wasn't.
Darn Reddit I should of been pacific enough there. Though yeah I do like the idea of difficulty modes in New Game + like adding what it should feel like or not by optional choice.
That I like is an actual difficulties.
@@TheTombRaider I agree. The first Tomb Raider especially wasn't really a combat-orientated game. Sure you shot some stuff every so often but it's not a combat-based game and so making it harder when you have enemies like the Atlantean mutants (which as you know can be hard to hit due to their constant running and jumping around as well as the fact that they can shoot at you and this can be hard to dodge in narrow rooms or if you are on a narrow platform) from the Egyptian Levels onwards means that it becomes an absolute nightmare since you can no longer save anywhere and you have no medipacks to heal you during fights.
The amount of times I died and was forced to either persevere with what I was doing already or else find a way to cheese a fight (such as shooting at skater kid from the secret's exit which, by the way, took me ages to do since the AI would have him skate to the left of me for a while where Lara couldn't shoot him and when I did get the opportunity to shoot as he was coming down from straight ahead I had to take a few shots and then quickly back down a bit so I didn't get hit). This wasn't a fun challenge but utter frustration and sure it wasn't too bad on the earlier levels but from the last level of Egypt onwards...man it was rough going.
@@SteelValkyrie202 did a lot of stuff, and then I backtracked for save crystals once I felt like I made enough progress, and I only used save crystals when I was at critically low health.
I miss the “Story So Far” option from the classic games. As a kid, my brother and I would watch the cinematic clips over and over again. Would be cool to have that back.
I hope they give The Last Revelation, Chronicles, and Angel of Darkness next (4,5,6). Fix all the bugs and the controls and it’ll be absolutely perfect. It’s my favourite Tomb Raider game
They'll hopefully atleast do the remaining 2 PS1 era TR's if not the PS2 sequel too. Not sure how successful this remaster has been so far but I'm sure it'll all rest on that. They need to fix up this remaster before dusting off & moving on though IMO. I mean theres still some major bugs from 1998 in the remaster lol.
I think fans have been extremely nitpicky about the water, I personally don't mind it, i think it's more "white" now cuz the surface was barely visible in places, like sometimes i couldn't tell where the surface was specially from bellow, surely it could use some polish and be adjusted accordingly to the location but it's not too bad.
Things like the fire effects over the skybox i hope they get adjusted. I personally have noticed that sometimes light effects disappear when viewed through the water surface, i'm not sure if this is from the last update but i noticed while taking photos in the underwater area of TR1's Sanctuary of the Scion, the sun light rays "break" when the water surface texture is over them.
As a big photo mode enjoyer I just want them to add the rest of the poses 😆 seems like a waste not to when they're already in the game.
To be fair water is one of the weakest looking parts of the remaster, but understandably so since there's only so much that can be done with a "one size fits all" shader when there's such a variety of locations and sizes. The complaining probably lead to this though - people wanted the water to be more visible from directly above and below, and now they don't like the water being too light.
And yes things disappearing when viewed through water is from this update - transparency layering seems to be broken, so other transparency effects won't appear if they're being viewed behind another transparent surface. The skybox now interferes with this too.
@dml09 exactly, fans wanted it to be more visible and now ain't happy about it either, somehow they're expecting ultra realistic water that doesn't go with these visuals. 🤔
The only complaints i had regarding the water was the lack of visible current on release (ex. Lost Valley) and proper lighting underwater, which were both added on patch 1. Since then, I thought it was fine tbh.
@@PuppyPiers Yeah same, once they added the flowing water everything was fine for me.
@@PuppyPierswhich update had the particle effects, was that patch 1 of 2?
@@johanburger4454 I think it was 1
Patches for a physical should never have to happen.
THIS SHT IS DISGUSTING ME ON ASTRONOMICAL LEVELS IM LOOKING INTO PUTING TOGETHER A LAWSUIT AGAINST THESE SATANIC M0DERN WASTES FOR "GAMING" COMPANIES.
WHEN YOU START HEARING ABOUT IT YOULL KNOW WHOS RESPONSIBLE 8))))))
When will patch 4 come out
There's clear bugs with glitching water that's very noticeable in Antarctica, also backgrounds glitching through ice walls aswell as the through the waterfall in river ganges. Also they need to add some of the skyboxes & mountainous backdrops to some levels. But i really hope golden mask gets an overhaul, the golden falls need to be smoothend out & sfx need to be fixed. Let's hope it's addressed in patch 4, aswell as getting rid of that milky water.
there's no point in looking at water which isn't realistic enough when the game world is all blocky. it's ok for a remaster
None of that is anywhere near "game breaking"
No, it isn't. But a lot of players are saying it's "broken" their experience playing the game.
It's not a broken, unplayable mess. As I said in the video, the game is absolutely playable, it’s just some little things, really.
But what IS game breaking is the TR3 Aldwych Drill bug... Apparently this bug is from 1998, but will screw you sideways if you trigger it so its a big'un. To me its weird they've still yet to address this.
Liked the video and take on it. Sounds like complaining for complaining's sake. Fully completed TR1 & TR2 on the remaster with no drama at all. Problem is the veterans will want it their way - and so continues the player / developer horn locking.
I don't think I was complaining about the remaster in this video. More I was showing what people were saying and giving my own opinions.
@@TheGameBreakersUK Oh no not you, just the community. Your take was fair
I’m a veteran, and honestly nothing is going to make me stop loving this remaster. I and many others just want it to be the best it can be
I hope they can let us customize which buttons we want to use as hotkeys for save and load games .
I am questioning framerate dips in Atlantis in Tomb Raider.
As well as the in Classic mode certain pick ups in the TRI City of Vilcabamba level 2 of Peru, and TRUB Return to Egypt having these incorrect black sprites on the left side of the sprites. (I am question why they are there or if anyone knows anything of this bug or incorrect part of the sprite texture?)
Also I am surprised that Classic Mode doesn't have a dress select to work since it only shows grey text. I question if later be added though not sure.
Definitely hoping for some changes in Patch 4 because I haven't seen it fix yet or any given information if it's being worked on.
So what were those "improvements to Laras model" they were talking about in the original Patch notes?
I have had a look and I cant see any noticeable differences
Thanks for the update and dido on the infinite ammo!
How to activate the sunglasses without finishing the game? I can't do with controls "look+walk" before the loading screen like used to do. Thank You.
You can’t now, they took it out.
I haven't updated to patch 3 yet. Should I just put it off and stick to patch 2?
Honestly, stick to patch 2... Combat with patch 3 is laborious... Personal opinion. 😉
Personally, I would stick to the older version.
I think it's well worth the update just for the costume selection alone. This is officially my favorite Tomb Raider collection now.
@@TheGameBreakersUKsuch a shame because I want the outfits. Water was fine after update 2.
I think they just want some grapical options for the original sense you can't see the outfits when using the original. The options you access through the sunglasses for outfits could be used for some filters like mipmapping or a crt filter
I'm currently stuck on the boat section Venice. Specifically getting the boat fast enough to the exit. Do u have a video that would help me?
Once you press the button, swim under the door and doing get back in the boat. That way, the timer never starts, and you can swim through the mines at the exit without them going off.
@@TheGameBreakersUK you mean the button that starts the timer or the button that opens the boathouse? I'm sorry I'm a little confused.
@@1980latinlover the button that starts that arms the mines at the end of the level. The timer starts once you leave that building unless you swim under the door
I have now put a guide in the TH-cam short section of the channel. There is also a lot of other level skips and tips on there as well
The shotgun needs to be visible in Tomb Raider 2 Home Sweet Home Photo Mode!
The water, ffs... agree, it's look horrible as hell, is like a milk, damn, i regret that i had in options "automatic download updates of games" at my Xbox. I hope so that they gonna fix this 😥
I'm playing on Switch and noticed something really annoying.
After climbing on a platform and doing a 180 roll, there isn't enough space for a forward running jump. You will fall off the edge if you try.
It's like the move distance for the 180 roll is a few pixels shorter than it used to be.
Really ? That sucks ! I’m playing on ps5 and I haven’t replayed the game since the patch so I can’t confirm. If it’s true then that’s so frustrating.
I tested it on different spots (TR3) after I posted this comment and it's not as bad as I thought.
Most of the time everything works fine. I think it's a glitch with some weird conditions but I haven't figured anything out.
@@gansellich6562Great 👌
after patch 3 i see big improvement on game speed fps. i play in an old compouter and patch 3 makes a difference
Goddammit. Pissed mostly about the water. Just hope they can figure it out because I'm not going to bother the with patch 3
I would love a classic NG+ mode instead of the new challenge version
I think their should be a compete remake of demake where it looks polygons are just like big blocky blocks that are suppose to resemble item and avatars. Also there should be zero texture. The same with the skybox. This way patches can just concentrate on putting light across surfaces. Light shed effect. And the graphics should be allowed to fail and go transparent of completely disappear even the skybock developer should not try and fight it. Cyluits is part of the magic of the 64bit era.
The day the game dropped, everything was fine. Stopp fucking with shit. All we wanted was to play the games without pulling out the PS2 and playing the expansion packs.
Respectfully i dont think you know what you're talking about.
These are PS1 games.
It was not "fine" on day one. Patches added features and polished the levels.
Its only Patch 3 that came with accidental bugs. They will be fixed with the final patch.
@@cristianoliver4447 I've been playing the games since they came out, probably before you were born. The graphics are one thing, but for purists' sake gameplay should remain the same, or you aren't playing the original game.
Espero que arreglen esos detalles y que cuando lancen la versión física del juego este todo arreglado así no necesita de ningún Update. El asunto de sacar las armas cuando Lara esta quieta en el lugar me pasaba desde un principio con las bengalas jugando con los controles originales tipo tanque, pero era con lo único que pasaba. Ahora resulta que lo hace con todo el inventario y eso esta muy malo porque cambia la forma dejugar y no se si hasta lo hace también en el juego con gráficos originales ya que lo de las bengalas que comentaba también lo hacia con los gráficos originales jugando con el tipo de control original tipo tanque. Buen video, saludos.
I wish they'd release a patch that corrects some areas being made darker than in the original version, and remove that annoying hand icon that assumes we're too stupid to know we can pick up an item or interact with a control panel (didn't need that for 25 years, so why now?)
You can turn the hand icon off its in the menu under action indicators
Another glitch I've found in the ps4 version of laras home in Tomb Raider 1, when doing the exercises, she doesn't give the right commands and you cant get the trophy 😢, I got the trophy on ps5 but I cant get it on ps4
Covered this in another video. They were removed in patch 2
@@TheGameBreakersUK omg they should've fixed them 😱
egypt still looks super orange uugggg i want it to look yellow lol
There’s a quick weapon select?
Yep, its been there since launch. Video is linked in this one.
Just downloaded the patch. Top of the water is a disaster, but viewing from underneath works.
They definitely need to do something to the top. It works from a distance to an effect but being closer to the water is a f##k up. It looks like there's a bug in the game.
Mate if u have any contact with aspyr please tell them to look at the top of the water again. I played great wall and Venice. It kinda works in great wall but Venice is a disaster and that was one of the best levels of the game
I still playing with patch one and I'm happy with it. ^^'
Im trying to figure out what bugs you people are talking about i haven't found a single one and i got the game on release and have updated every patch and im not having any issues at all. Its almost like everyone just needs there to be problems just so they can complain.
I agree. This project is a labour of love made by and for fans. But somehow, a subsection of those fans is determined to find fault. Like a new shade of water surface is in fact an assault on their basic human right that needs to be fixed NOW or else... Get a life people and enjoy the game in all of its remastered glory!
@@ajsikkepit it doesn't matter the patch note there is always something wrong with it when it comes to those people. Like people who constantly complain have no idea the amount of work and programming and algorithms it takes to get even the most basic functions in a game to even move a finger it takes so much to get it to move just the right way. But when people act like it's nothing and should be simple it's like a smack in the face of the hard working programmers. And channels like this don't seem to find any appreciation for what developers do. They just trash talk like they could do it any better.
@codybooth520 I have trash talked the developers. I have shown what some of the Tomb Raider community is talking about and given my own opinions about it.
I know how much time it takes to develop a game.
I have made videos on the remaster since it was released, and I have full appreciation of those original titles. I never played the expansions for one and enjoyed playing through those.
This is a vile lie, if you actually played extensively since day 1 you will notice glaring issues that have been either fixed or newer ones that have been introduced.
Patch 3 completely destroyed transparency effects so everytime you see something through a waterfall for example it will break the background and the skybox.
Things like these are stuff you will quickly catch up if you have actually played a lot specially if you played the original releases as well in which most of this issues were never present and instead introduced in the remasters.
Your fixation in blaming the community and calling them complainers is simply rubbish and reductive, not everybody is a lame boot licker like you are, some of us know the value of our money and will push so ALL of us get a better game without necessarily nitpicking and rather, highlighting very real issues and glitches.
I prefered the modern control in patch 2.
Now they feel more tanky in combat.
BEST GAME EVER
I haven’t really had many complaints of it so far and lord knows I’ve put enough hours into it. Currently playing through the third game for the first time. Had only played 1 and 2 before
I just want the lighting and skybox changes. For some levels old school just looks better in some instances
It’s so bloody good though
Yeah thats my take on this remaster. It does have its flaws, but at the same time I've been having a blast with it. This is TR as it should be, and I've wanted that for years.
Theres even a cute hidden nod to the fans in TR2's oil rig level if you look at the scrolling text on some security monitors.
1:52
Here I am wondering why it's so "hard" for them to add the red quilt background back into the Tomb Raider 2 inventory screen.
They shouldn't add changes to the ORIGINAL version of the games, and only add any changes to the REMASTERED version of the games. They are what they are for a reason. I don't care to see Lara's Nightmare In Vegas suit in the Tomb of Qualopec...because I'm not playing Tomb Raider 2: The Golden Mask.
Combat in modern controls don’t feel the same as they did last patch, it’s not as easy to kill enemies, I can’t outrun them when running circles around them anymore in TR1 at least not sure about the rest tho
Flares light don't show up in photo mode
They don't in patch 3 if you're also looking at the sky box as shown in the video
If you are just selecting flare as a weapon in photo mode the please look at my "active flares in photo mode" video to find out how to get them to work
@@TheGameBreakersUK I saw your video and that don't work on Xbox. You select a flare as a weapon, start photo mode and the light is gone
@@Pyke_ I have just test on my version of the game and it's still working correctly
Few things to note - check the flare doesn't have the skybox behind it and also let it burn for a few seconds before going into photo mode.
Is this patch for pc version of remaster
All versions of the game
Thanks that's really bad😢
I'm still trying to beat tomb raider 3 😅 I wonder what patch we'll be on when I've done that
If you're looking for skips and shortcuts there is a playlist on the channel that will be updated with new shorts every so often
When you're done, the developers will be releasing patches for Tomb Raider 4 & 5 😂
Ahaha, that list of bugs tho xD
Some of that list have been fixed and it is a list of all reported bugs since the game launch back in february spanning across the 3 patches
What I hate about Patch 3 it's the new and """improved""" combat system of Modern Controls. Lara feels slow, clunky, and worse to control during combats. She turns left and right while running during combats sooo slow, dude... I hope Patch 4 let us chose which combat style we want... Also, the water problem it's bad. But I don't mind it that much, but yeah, I'd rather want them to fix it. There's also a weird glitch on TR3 where you can't see some elements behind windows and glass. Also, the Save and Load shortcut doesn't work on Modern Controls. And also, if you make the Flare Shortcut while Lara's running, there's a chance that Lara will change her direction to the right. It's very random, and this didn't happened before Patch 3, so...
I have covered the save/load modern controls shortcut in another video - it does work. See my video Tomb Raider Title Update 3 - missing patch notes discover the differences - its the one with Lara and a monkey as the thumbnail
Fix the dang inventory background
Never updated to patch 3
og release was just fine, the game plays weirder and weirder every update.
