Studio Crystal Dynamics added a warning about racial and ethnic stereotypes to the Tomb Raider I-III Remastered collection. Before the start of the game, there is an appeal to modern players who are presumably getting acquainted with the cult games about Lara Croft for the first time.
It is unknown what kind of content we are talking about. Presumably, this means the islanders from Tomb Raider 3who practice cannibalism and fight the heroine with axes and poisonous darts.
Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered Collection includes updated versions Tomb Raider with extension The Unfinished Business, Tomb Raider 2 with addition The Gold Mask and Tomb Raider 3 with extension The Lost Artifact. The game releases tomorrow, February 14, on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PC.
Experts from Digital Foundry have already assessed the collection of remasters and came to the conclusion that the gameplay of the first parts of the series is not outdated at all. And the studio Aspyr did a great job adding fresh textures, lighting, and other modern improvements.
As reviewers have noted, even the “retro mode” in remasters does not return the original look of the games, instead showing us an idealized picture. The mode preserves the original assets, but allows for high-resolution rendering and increased color depth without using texture filtering.
Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered plays and looks great on Xbox Series, PlayStation 5, PC, Steam Deck and Switch. Only the PC version stands out: it does not have any graphics settings. Although its system requirements are so low that they may not be needed. And possible frame jitter owners of video cards Nvidia can be removed through the control panel.
