This is how graphics should have been done for the MGS vol1 collection.

Where do you get the game from

Cod on veteran

These games are old as sin, no thanks 😆
@rosscomt5295 March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
I would have been 10-11 when these games out. Honestly, I remember watching my friend playing TR1 after school on the PS1. I remember giving Tomb Raider 1 a shot on a Friday night after school myself. But got bored of it. Played TR3 demo a few years later in 99 and remember it really well. Fast forward to today and I have completed TR1 in 2022. I would say original Tomb raider was something best enjoyed as a matured gamer. Though remembering it way back in 1997 it was the water and music which I remember the most. Fact missed by many of us - you will as you get older remember things which are bright, vivid and musical over dull games.

You unlock the save crystals in new game +
@GoogleUser-it3xq March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
It's not worth it if you can't save this game. 

Why am I having such a difficult time trying to save my game in Tomb Raider One for Nintendo Switch? I've spent hours trying to solve this mystery. I finished The Caves then Lara drowned in the next level. My only choice was to choose New Game or Unfinished Business. The save of The Caves then disappears from the compass. And why is it in the compass?

This is mind boggling and I've wasted many hours trying to figure this out and three calls to Nintendo Support. Deleted save data on my Switch and then the software, then downloaded again. Did that twice. Studied many walkthroughs on Youtube and the internet but to no avail.

Please help. Thank you so much!!

Hey Guys! Could y'all make a Playlist for your video reviews? I'd like to watch them back to back (or listen while working)
@Dekraa March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
I wish we could play the game with save crystals as an option from the beginning, thats how I remember the game as a playstation player. It changes the game totally. In every way. The accomplishment, how I think, the happiness, the tension, everything. The tears, of course, frustration yes, but thats part of the game 😂

I'm sure it will get patched 🤞
Because this game is absolutely brilliant 10/10
@ReviewJunkee March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
Does anyone know if this will get a physical release? ❤😊
@emp.splash March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
Strange that they chose to remaster the original instead of bringing Tomb Raider Anniversary to Switch. Anniversary was such an awesome game. But I’d get this for TR2 and TR3.
@Ayato666 March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
Only two minutes in and it's way better and more comprehensive than the last review I saw!
@JtothePrez March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
Non, no quick saving. Part of the charm is the manual saving. If you can't be patient enough to see what you're selecting on the passport menu then that's on you. Be more attentive.
@princeloren86 March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
Do the cheat codes still work?
@meric12131415 March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
I think I'd more than welcome the manual save system even if it is the only way to save your progress on that note I feel like a map system should have been implemented though you can easily get lost in those levels
@meric12131415 March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
Ah the butler I remember him haunting me at every turn in the mansion so much so that he would sneek up behind me and quite literally scare me he like a ghost that haunts you to put it simply 🙀
@meric12131415 March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
Nice to know they're remastering my childhood games I had the most fun with 1 on the PS1
@terrystokes7893 March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
Dam that backwards hand stand!!!
Whyyyyy😅
@jonathankett4355 March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
Why didn't they let you revisit levels as you complete them??
@beardyastronaut March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
Worst control and camera ever!
@colin8802 March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
I only tried these games briefly during their time, so I'm not sure if I'll enjoy them without much nostalgia for them. I love the Indiana Jones/Uncharted style, but I don't think I was too impressed with the TR gameplay even during the 90s.
@johncharleswood March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
This needs a physical release
@vanimapermai March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
Im so glad they redone the controlls ive always hated the tank controls even when playing on the ps1
@PaulvonOberstein March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
The solution to the issues with the modern controls would be to give you the option to map the tank controls to the D pad. That way maneuvers that work better with the tank controls can be done seamlessly without having to toggle menus.
@WhitchurchStuff March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
Ah, the old ageing controls...that most people who have played it have reverted to the original 3d controls ...because its not all like the other 99% of games with scripted jumping. 4:05
@nightgoblin29 March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
Lol it should be dark in a cave hahaha
@Wanderersea March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
Tomb Raider 1, 2 and 3 is a classic. I am glad they kept it the way it is with just a touch of remastering.
@jujuseducer6055 March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
20 minutes in game time and i think this version SUCKS! I OWN THE ORIGINAL and on an oled its TOO DARK even at 2/3 rds brightness.I had to keep flipping back to the old veiw to see where the hell i was! and where the hell were the medipacks!. Wait till its dirt cheap.
@charles69326 March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
I never thought that manually saving would be a problem for most people... but maybe that's because I play a lot of RPGs and saving manually is basically a core mechanic.
@lazydgsf7429 March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
Losing the side jump with revamped is unacceptable. Game is much harder without it. So unless there’s a way….
@NewDawnFadesX March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
I never own a PlayStation 1 or 2. The PS3 was my first PS console. So I missed out on these games. I’ll pick this up when, if ever it is released physically.
@azealiasbanx492 March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
You can’t go into a TANK classic with a modern mindset, modern controls were meant for advanced
@gabrielmoreirabr March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
Now bring the PS2 games and I'll be happy
@betwrixolive9431 March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
I had to go to tank controls to navigate the levels.
@oywee928 March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
Future patch updates wanted:
-The classic TR style should been in 60fps (the classic versions looks to blocky and upscaled)
-The game should had light and gamma settings included. The old style is looking way to bright,, and many of the dark areas (light) are too dark in the remastered style.
-The water & mud effects could have been better. (just have a look on «Openlara»)
-The blue original crystal save-boxes should have been a option in the menu settings for TR1.
-The control scheme for modern style is not yet perfect.
-Some of the the game characters looks to slick and pretty, (could had a more rougher villain look.)
-Still the best updated way to play the original TR1 is Xproger`s version of «Openlara» (better controls, updated 60fps framerate,watereffects, etc, etc,etc)
@chrisyson March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
Tomb Taider was my first PS1 game. I remember it came in an oversized case
@jacobcordell2882 March 26, 2024 - 10:15 pm
