Tomb Raider I-III Remastered - Boudica - 02-15-2024

Tomb Raider I-III Remastered was released yesterday. The remaster allows you to save your game whenever you want, toggle the original vs new graphics (on the fly) and it lets you use modern controls.
I tried playing one of these last year (OG version on PC) and quit within an hour as I couldn't get used to the controls again. The muscle memory from those 90s games is long gone for me and too frustrating to retrain, so I really want to give this remaster a try. The graphics difference is most obvious in the player model at first. It doesn't seem like the scenery/rooms have been updated much. It almost feels like the remastered graphics are how it always looked, until you toggle it and realise how faulty your memory is! I think they've done a great job. I've been watching streamers play, and I've yet to try it myself.
Anyone keen to replay these? Or play them for the first time!
P.S. Did anyone else used to lock Winston in the freezer?

Not sure why, but older games I always remember the graphics being better than they are. 20+ years later, the original model looks like a blowup doll.

This is so true! To think these games had such a big impact on gaming in the 90s (and a pretty small team in the early days).
I suspect there's another big Tomb Raider game on it's way. There's the remaster, plus a release of a confirmed "unified" Lara image (combining Lara's from previous renditions).
