Aspyr Media has announced official remasters of the first three Tomb Raider games that will become available on PC in February 2024. In order to celebrate this announcement, the team shared the first gameplay trailer which you can find below.
According to its description, this collection will allow gamers to play the complete experience with all expansions and secret levels on modern platforms.
Tomb Raider I-III Remastered will feature better textures and better 3D models. However, the geometry/environmental detail looks to be similar to the original versions. In other words, expect polygonal environments like those you played all those years ago. Moreover, you’ll be able to switch between the remastered and the original graphics at any time.
Tomb Raider I-III Remastered will release on February 14th, 2024.
Enjoy!

Finally, can play without the clunky set-ups. Awesome that you can toggle between the original & new visuals.
There’s the openlara for the first one, and automated fixes for TR2-3.
Rest of them don’t need that much tinkering around (except for aod).
A bit strange to create a remaster of the original Tomb Raider game, when we have a full remake “Tomb Raider: Anniversary” made by Crystal Dynamics.
Still, I might be interested to play the remastered TR 2 & 3 games.
😒 Anniversary is a loose remake, there was still a big void now fulfilled by this kind of rework that much closer to the source.
Anniversary and everything else made by CD is utterly garbage. It is clear you haven’t played core design games, otherwise you wouldn’t say something as dumb as this.
Anniversary is junk.
its not its a a better remake than any other remake and more faithful.
It’s a completely different game. The similarities are superficial. Everything that actually matters in a game is so vastly different they hardly even appeal to the same audience.
more accurate than the praised resident evil 2 and re 4
Anniversary is based on Prince of Persia style autoplatforming while in the OG you actually had to control your movements.
From the trailer, I can already tell I prefer way more the look of this remaster than Anniversary, which didn’t capture the mood of the first game.
They’ve massacred the atmosphere with those tasteless textures. This is what happens when you hire low IQ teenagers who think their sh*tty 8k textures fit games like fallout or skyrim.
The original atmosphere is crap, you need nostalgia vision to enjoy it, but don’t take this comment as an endorsement of the remaster.
shoo dirty sand n*gger.

Looks faithful to the originals, no changes to the geometry or controls. Nice!
This is amazing news.
I wonder if TRLE leves for TR1-3 will work on this.
Waitin for dem nude mods… https://media2.giphy.com/media/t3ALHwdGhkF3O/giphy-downsized-small.mp4
I strongly don’t recommend hand sanitizer for this (so a friend tells me).
https://basedmods.eth.limo/
limo? not link?
I suspect they may both be the same site, each hosted on a different service:
https://blog.logrocket.com/eth-link-vs-eth-limo/
One of the many DNS’s to Based Mods.
so they take decentralization seriously?
Very much so, I’ve donated to them after that whole pronoun BS in Starfield.
i always wondered what kind of loser gets off on nude mods. now i know.

thank god its not “changed for a modern audience”
Boobs are still boobs.
😛
But big boobs are better than small boobs!
There’s still time for them to add a willy…
sad it doesnt have the fourth game.
OMG!!! Wow! And thank god they updated the lighting/shadowing (and models) because the originals were sooo low poly count and lighting/shadowing were sooo rudimentary and the textures so disjointed that it made it hard to even understand what the f*ck you were looking at in many areas, i had to look hard to get it lol, plus the stiff movement, always found it really hard to play and desisted short after starting, never could play it back in the day.
Also the graphics toggling will be amazing to compare the differences on the fly.
The controls look unchanged. You’re not going to like the way Lara moves because it’s the same as it ever was, from the looks of it at least. They didn’t change the map geometry so her movement must be pretty much the same, if not exactly identical.
Would be nice if they provide the option for direct control in addition to tank controls. But I suspect that would have been highlighted in the trailer were it the case
Heretic 2 got 3rd-person action controls right.
How would air control while jumping work with “direct controls”? Also it couldn’t apply to crouched movement because you need to be able to crawl backwards to hang off a ledge sometimes. Or how would ramp sliding work? Could you turn around without jumping? TR’s movement is pretty complex and got slightly more complex with each sequel on top of that. It’s not as easy as just giving you “direct control”. That’s why all of that complexity was lost when they made the Legend trilogy and never recovered after.

Classic, pre-woke Tomb Raider with round boobs. Sign me up.
oh grow up!
The gaming industry has been infiltrated with and infested by communists who are open about pushing their social and political agenda. Anita Sarkeesian has been consulting with game devs for over a decade on how to push third wave feminism into gaming.
You tell me to grow up, I’ll tell you to pull your head out of your @ss
Anita is just a puppet, the reality is ESG funding that incentivizes companies to push agendas in their games such as ugly women
Ya there are major forces/people pushing this crap across pretty much every industry. But game developers are also insanely woke, which is a major factor. Go check the Twitter feeds of Harvey Smith (Arkane), Cory Soylog (Santa Monica), Tim Schafer, or David Jaffe just to name a few.
Oh no doubt, but most of those losers just sold out because they want a piece of that ESG pie. I remember in the 2000’s when guys like David Jaffe and Cliff Bleszinski pandered to frat bro culture when it was popular/profitable, then they sold out when the wind blew the other direction.
how are things working out for you in your parent’s basement?
Grown ups like boobs f*g
and you like the computer generated ones because that’s as close as you’ll get to the real thing, creep!
This is a website for angry man-children, they will never grow up.
this look like garbage.
Excellent, the sexy Lara.
Just shut the f*k up and take my money.
Looks good. I enjoyed the classic trillogy on PSX back in the day.
Might just buy this for some classic vibes.

This is great news. And I’m really glad that they kept the blocky look.
I’m not even sure I would have liked a very realistic remake.
This upgraded look + better controls = best version of Tomb Raider ever.
This will be even better than the fanmade engines like OpenLara, I think.
But yeah, I agree that TR4 needs to be added.
I hope it’s not again a stupid copyright issue or some nonsense like that.
Cherry on the cake: if this gets moddable and we can make the TLRE levels compatible, this will be perfect.
Looks good, but im gonna wait and see if they censor anything b4 i buy.
Nice, but i want ray-tracing!
wow, sexy Lara in the current era
Interesting crystal dynamics will go back to this.
They refused to dress Lara ‘HD’ with the old clothes.
