Mereo, do games w Tomb Raider 1, 2 and 3 getting remasters early next year

When I hear remaster, I now hear Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition.

Jackthelad,

Don’t ruin my hopes and dreams, I’ve been waiting for this remaster forever. 😭

There is a video already from the Nintendo direct so you can see already how it looks graphical wise.

Jackthelad,

It’s not the graphics I’m worried about.

The GTA trilogy had shoddy performance.

MonkderZweite,

One word: Mods

Oh lord what a bunch of cringe. Who fucking cares? About any of this? There’s so much awful shit in the world and so many people spending their time worrying about the absolute nothing issues of the world.

Of course is Kotaku coming with a whole tempest in a teapot over this.

Kotaku is an absolute joke, but that’s not new, they are the laughing stock of game journalism for a reason.

I dont know who is the most pathetic group here, if nexus mods for taking down a dumb harmless mod for ridiculous reasons or the moders that made a mod that takes out a dumb harmeles feature for ridiculous reasons. Nexus mods sucks either way and the mod devs suck too.

I’m fine with it too!

Nexus Mods has had some controversy in the past but they seem generally solid.

Can we just… not get remasters and remakes anymore? I’d rather just have the OG games re-released digitally as-is, and let AAA companies explore new IPs or allow them to be creative in the universe of already-existing IPs.

AAA companies aren’t making these remasters, they are typically handled by small studios that specialize in exactly this kind of work.

Most of the work of re-releasing these old games is porting the old code to new platforms. Making them run at higher resolutions and frame rates is usually not all that much effort in comparison, so you might as well do it.

Frankly it’s kind of weird to complain about the existence of a product nobody is forcing you to buy.

Spellinbee,

Exactly, this game I believe is being done by Aspyr. While KOTOR was a remake obviously, it was the last time they tried to do a big game and it apparently was a disaster.

Makes sense, some of their port jobs on switch I would consider as disasters. If they really remade KOTOR and completely boned it I'd hate them even more than I already do. That sounds a little harsh, some of their ports are passable.

echo64,

People don’t buy games as-is. They need at least some modern conveniences to be palettable. And frankly this is about as close to what you are asking as is reasonable.

I'd like to have HD versions of a number of older 2D games that I enjoy re-released.

Honestly, I'd like to have HD versions of some newer games that were originally done with low-resolution graphics, like Binding of Isaac and Caves of Qud. Nothing wrong with low-resolution graphics -- I think that it enables shifting resources to developing gameplay, and that that's often a good tradeoff -- but those games did well, and I'd be willing to pay for flashier graphics.

If you look at Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead, it's gone from ASCII to graphics to significantly-prettier tilesets. Dwarf Fortress did something similar. I think that that shows that there's demand for it.

I appreciate that not everyone wants that, but I would.

I hope they will modernize the controls and camera.

Jackthelad,

In a way, the tank controls were part of the challenge.

Hopefully they give you the option to use classic or modern controls.

verysoft, (edited )

Yeah, would spend ages as a kid lining up for a jump, only to end up jumping off to the left into a pit of wolves. Good times.

Oh, in game too.

Nefyedardu,

*and make it optional. Like REmake

GreenMario, do games w Tomb Raider 1, 2 and 3 getting remasters early next year

Wasn’t Tomb Raider Anniversary a remake of TR1?

Anyways if good and the price is right sure.

Remake != remaster

Jackthelad,

Yeah, but it was shit.

@proper@lemmy.world avatar

I hadn’t even heard of this game til now. maybe that lack of marketing was a factor.

lolzy_mcroflmao,

Obviously different marketing preferences, but I hadn’t stopped hearing about this game for months

@Deceptichum@kbin.social avatar

I don’t know if it’s the same game, but I saw a guy on YT make a little model glove thing as a sponsored prop for a game and I think it was this.

The talking points sounded like it was a cheap mobile game, and I only heard about it like a week before this.

Katana314,

The marketing really seemed to focus on the story, which definitely seemed like a bad idea.

“We came here to stop Sandrak from winning the Everwar.”

That line got blasted at me a thousand times. Who’s Sandrak, and who cares? Why are teen fiction writers taking charge of the war’s name?

CluckN,

I think releasing right between Baldur’s Gate 3 and Armored Core 6 was a bad idea.

I’m usually one to say games are fine as is and don’t need a remaster… but these show their age

It’s crazy how Forza Horizon came out of nowhere when NFS, TDU, GRID were having their time and has now become the benchmark of arcade racing. Or in other words, devs from all these franchises joined playground to make Forza Horizon what it is today.

I didn’t even know it was a square game.
