I would be fond of a TR Legend, Anniversary, Underworld collection Toggle between PS2 and 360 would be nice rather than new visuals. There's times where Legend looks clearer on older systems and I think Anniversary is nicer on PS2/Wii in general - ThreadSky

Oh god, I forgot how much developers liked bloom during PS3/Xbox 360 generation

mateusauri.bsky.social•1 day ago

also the Underworld DLCs still need to be freed from X360 exclusivity

santin90.bsky.social•1 day ago

The PSP version was mind blowing at the time

Also to get all the exclusive content under one package, including the Underworld DLC still chained to Xbox to this day lol

I hope this is coming next and if they could all play as well as Underworld, that would be great. I played them for the first time on PC a while back and really loved Underworld but the other two not so much.

Ah, the era where everyone decided "Y'know what, we need everything smothered in bloom/vasciline because ooo"

So many games from this era look better with it disabled. Classic example is these games and Metroid Prime 3 with bloom disabled.

wow that bloom on the HD versions looks unbelievably bad

This is literally what I'm waiting for. I played tomb raider as a kid, but I beat all of them after legends.

To be fair I beat underworld on DS but could never beat the pc version because it was too open for my 12 year old brain back then, gotta fix that!!

Oh damn I also remember that syberian level from legends now, that one that was basically call of duty. I replayed that so much :D

Early 360 ports at that time were weird, like King Kong and Burnout Revenge also look far better on OG Xbox. Pretty sure Legend was 60fps on Xbox as well.

i agree with you. it's very odd how that ended up happening

jon.gvg.io•1 day ago

HD version of Anniversary came when devs were still figuring out bloom lol

A pic I took a few years ago

Last guarding genuinely felt a bit like games like tomb raider where climbing is core gameplay and not automatised

ernestsheptalo.bsky.social•1 day ago

There's also a PSP port that I think looks the best. It's better than the PS1 games, and not as bloomy as the PS2.

I tried playing Tomb Raider 1-4 at various points when I first got PlayStation and they were all too hard. But I rented Legends and Anniversary and would love to see this collection.

The remasters are good cos you have the safety net of being able to save after every jump. I am playing TR1 for the first time and I know playing the PS1 version with its restrictive save design would have driven me insane.

sonicsean34.bsky.social•1 day ago

I definitely feel a Legends trilogy remaster should be next (hopefully next year) I just finished a promo upgrade on PSN where premium was super cheap and fitted in a bit of the ps2 version of legend before it expired.

sonicsean34.bsky.social•1 day ago

It was very muddy to view (default brightness was awful too) so a remaster that isn’t as bloomy as 360 version would be great.

sonicsean34.bsky.social•1 day ago

Weirdly I found the little I played of Legend to feel more dated than TR1, which is only dated cos a lot of games are now desperate for everyone to love so challenge you less and over-streamline game design. While Legend is full of “trends of the day” which do feel outdated and expired.

Is Anniversary any good? I got a free copy recently and having never played the original I'm not sure if I should hold off and play the remake collection version first or just give Anniversary a go.

jon.gvg.io•1 day ago

It's good! Original is a bit more special but Anniversary is a cool reimagining

nitrorad.bsky.social•1 day ago

Forgot how weird 360/PS3 bloom looked

nitrorad.bsky.social•1 day ago

Omg you literally said something about that already lmao

jon.gvg.io•1 day ago

It's all good man haha

Have you been playing the collections? New visuals are pretty weird a lot of the time

nitrorad.bsky.social•1 day ago

Nah but I'd love to at some point, got them on the wishlists! Never played tomb Raider at all before

jon.gvg.io•1 day ago

I dunno why I assumed you did, the originals feel very you coded

nitrorad.bsky.social•1 day ago

Oh YA, tank control slow deliberate platforming sounds extremely James coded!

Loved seeing people talk about the remasters, because previously I never knew anything about the gameplay in the originals

epzzz.bsky.social•1 day ago

Now THESE are some great games!
