New Tomb Raider games in Classic Remastered style would be A-MA-ZING!!! I'd love this to happen. Whether it's a continuation of AOD (with possibly some people like Murti Schofield or other ex Core devs involved) or new adventures I'd be fine. Also I'd love it for a remaster / release of the cancelled Tomb Raider: Anniversary Edition, considering a lot of files are already available and were released. I think it'd be awesome to finally release this one, the final game Core Design wanted to release for the fans, a faithful remake of the first game. Regarding other remasters, I would love remasters of the Tomb Raider Game Boy titles, they are little gems and they would deserve the remaster treatment too. ❤
If they make a new game, I hope they make hard and challenging gameplay, and not babied down games. Then, and if it's a hot Lara and not a Larry Croft, I have hope for the game 🥰
This! I cannot agree more! I am so sick of games that hold your hand through puzzles, or that give you unsolicited hints when you've only been there for 15 seconds!
Great video! It appears February will be a busy month for game releases. Gotta ask, is your Christmas tree on the Carnivore Diet? It's looking a little skinny. 🎄😉 Anyways, what do you want for Christmas?
Thank you SO much for the support 😊 and yeah my Christmas tree is on a diet hahahaha 😂🤣 What do I want for Christmas? Hmmmm... 🤔 Lots of steak probably 😂
I hope that these are not just rumors. Classic Lara in the remastered style would be really nice. If that's true, it could happen that the story will be continued after Tomb Raider The Angel of Darkness remastered. It was planned as a trilogy at the time, but that hasn't been implemented yet. 😀
I enjoyed Anniversary & Underworld. Not as much as the classic games but they still hold up, and can be played on a modern console. Don’t need a remaster. We want new games with classic Lara!! ❤🎉
New OG Tomb Raider style game for the win. OG Tomb Raider style game and Crystal Dynamics' new Tomb Raider game can both exist to shepherd peace, love, and happiness.
i just pre ordered tomb raider 4-5-6 remastered i can't wait to play it on February 14th and i love to see Aspyr do justice for the classic tomb raider series
I'm replaying 1-3 again. The first game has really grown on me. I really love the simplicity of the level designs. By the time I got to Revelations I felt overwhelmed with all the different movements, puzzles and the large map. I never got to Chronicles.
And you were worried that there was going to be a new game for Tomb Raider during the game awards! 😅😁 As long as it's only made by Saber and Aspyr, and not crystal dynamic, it will be great! 🔥
It's so cool to have long time fans as developers, these remasters make me think of Crash Team Racing/Crash Nitro Kart which also got an amazing bundled remaster.
Take off from where Chronicles finishes and announce Laras return, they've found her stuck in a Tomb In Egypt and boom Aspyr collab with Toby Gard and Boom again TombRaiders back baby
Can't wait until Friday when I get paid, rent goes out first then in comes Soul Reaver! Great memories playing that with my dad. If new Sabre/Aspyr TR is real, I hope they have the balls to straight up call it Tomb Raider VII & de-canonise the Crystal Dynamics era!
I'll admit I became a fan of Tomb Raider with the reboot series, though my favorite part of those games were the tomb explorations/puzzle solving. It got me wanting to play the classic series but, having nothing to play them on at the time, I went with Anniversary. When the remasters were released I bought them on a Steam sale and have them waiting for when I finish Anniversary. I have dabbled a bit in Tomb Raider I and I'm excited about getting back into it. So in my case, the "new" Lara lead me to the classic Lara and I've found myself enjoying this series even more with each game I play.
Hi there melonie I have completed Tomb raider 1 a few times now & I have enjoyed watching you play that game on your RUclips channel Melanie & I thought I had start my own Tomb raider 1 recording to help you & other people to get all the secrets & all the items in every level & I am enjoying watching you play the Tomb raider remastered
@@AeternalisSanguis Hello, friend! I'm always curious as to why someone would watch videos from content creators they don't agree with, maybe you can help me understand this?

But you did this to yourselves. Everything 'woke' people create inevitably FAILS, so you steal successful properties, race and gender swap characters, change the lore to suit your needs, inject it with this awful ideology that completely disregards meritocracy in favor of race, gender, weird sexual orientations and whatnot, and then complain when the vast majority of normal people don't fall in line. Why are you like this? Melonie is a fan of what Tomb Raider USED TO BE, and like many, she is unhappy with what folks like you have done to it. More than that, she's religious. So naturally she's opposed to what you believe.

I love animals, I live in NYC, I enjoy videogames - maybe some of the same games you like, even. I enjoy fishing, and hiking and having a drink with friends after work. I love Godzilla (yes, even the silly old-school Godzilla movies with the awful rubber suits. I grew up watching those) and reading Fantasy and Science Fiction books (I just finished all 6 original books in the Dune series and I'm reading the Witcher Series now). So...why can't we get along?

We both love this stuff, right? SO WHY CAN'T WE GET ALONG?
Funny enough I just got myself an Xbox one and when my niece came over I let her play on it first and she tried Rise of the tomb raider. Yea it's new but it's the tomb raider game we had. So she played it and guess what? She liked it. She was so entranced that she's likely playing it right now at her own house. And all it took was me buying myself an Xbox one. Successfully conscripted a new Tomb Raider fan
I mentioned they should do this in a previous video. Use the classic engine and make some original games. The stories are all pretty much self contained so each one could just focus on that particular adventure. I’m all for it!!
THe positive: This could be awesome and fun. the remasters have been great and I can't wait for 4-6. The negative: they could try and leverage Tomb Raiders success to push for whatever survivor lara game they want to push cause fans will buy new games.
I recommend trying classic controls first as this is how the game were designed, but I enjoy modern controls and you can do EVERYTHING with them. Saying they are limiting is not true. Modern controls useful tips and commands: (Remember that directions are camera relative in Modern Controls) - Vault to grab ledges (same as tank controls): Hold grab button (secondary/alternate) + forward. - Back and side flipping: Hold the draw weapons button, wait for animation, press and hold jump then immediately after press back, left or right - Back stepping: Hold the draw weapons button, wait for animation, tap backwards. OR Press Look key to toggle to look mode, hold back. While still holding back press look key to toggle it off. (Thanks Eli Parker and TR Reddit) - Sidestepping: Press the Look key to toggle to look mode. While in it hold walk button + left or right. Keep holding them and press look key to toggle it off (Thanks Eli Parker and TR Reddit) - Hold ledges when falling: Run towards the ledge while holding the grab button (secondary/alternate). - Swan Dive (same as tank controls): From Idle: Press and hold the jump button, immediately after press forward + walk button. From Running: Keep holding forward, press jump + walk button. - Fancy climb up (same as tank controls): While holding to a ledge, hold walk button then press forward. - Swimming: Lara swims freely in all directions relative to the direction you are facing (also includes how far up or down you are looking), no need to hold the jump button. To swim to surface, look up as much you can and move forward until Lara breaths again. You can swim forward, backwards and sideways freely on the surface. To dive, hold the jump button. To grab a ledge low enough, hold forward + grab button. - Moving backwards while crawling/crouching: Hold the walk button while crouched and tap backwards. - Grabbing a ledge from crawling position: Use the backwards movement described above until you are positioned backwards towards a ledge, hold the walk + grab button, then hold backwards. - Diving roll from sprinting: While sprinting, keep holding forwards and press the roll button.
I used the Modern Controls for the Torso Boss when I went through I, Pistols-only, no Medikits, under 5 hours, jus to make life easier! Went STRAIGHT back to Tank after, though! That was not a fun playthrough... damned Natla...
This could work out one of two ways. They do this and it works out well and they maintain having the two different versions running parallel. OR the do this it does well and they start to look at it as taking sales away from the mainline crystaldynamic version so they cut the remakes.
That is my greatest fear&concern, that Crystal Dynamics sees the classic market taking sales away from their "modern" correct game and thus, solve the problem (or so they think!) by making sure their Tomb Raider is the only Tomb Raider. Now that I know TR6 can be remastered, I am hoping&praying that the story continues with the 2 unrealised chapters in the NextGen Trilogy. I don't know what can happen after that, but if the teams can come with original games that respect the classic experience, then I am all in for brand new continuations.
@zrowngctr I just have extremely low confidence in these bigger companies. At the end of the day they'll cuck the smaller more successful ones in a heartbeat. I wouldn't even put it passed them to buy out sabres team and lay all those people off.
At 9:32, PLEASE TELL ME, that you're going to release videos of your soulreaver 1 & 2 playthrough !! The LOK 5 game series has one of the most amazing story arcs ever !!!
My problem is that these adaptations are based on the versions of TR that werent very good compared to 1-3 ...btw i played all tr remakes and it was so fun to play them in bed around sleep time...the ambience really lulls you to a deep sleep
If we get a new Tomb Raider game in the style of the remastered collection then sign me up cuz it’ll be a nice return to form for the series especially after CD wrecked it.
It makes me really happy to see a younger generation getting in and enjoying Soul Reaver. It's still one of my all-time favourites. Maybe a little too reliant on damn sliding block puzzles but I still love the game. And they did a fantastic job of the remaster too. Meanwhile it would really make me happy if Crystal Dynamics just left Tomb Raider alone and left it to people who actually care about it.
I would be extremely happy because the classic Tomb Raider series are my all time favorites in the whole entire series. I’m extremely happy about IV-VI Remastered and I currently own I-III.
Hi Melonie Boom. I played OG TR on its old controls and I am used to those. However, on remastered (PC) I was forced to use modern controls because I could not for some reason change button binding on Tank controls. For example jump is on X, where on old PS whas on square. It was a deal breaker for me. Do u know if they will soon enable binding on tank controls too?
I don't need any Christmas presents - as long as Aspyr will make new Tomb Raider games in the Remastered engine! :D It'd be cool if we got new games that continued the classic story, but I'd be just as happy if they were stand alone "forgotten adventures" or something. Perhaps along the lines of: Tomb Raider: Crown of Immortality Perhaps the Crown of Immortality is a lost artifact worth millions and rumored to give its wearer immortality or something. Some bad guy wants it for its power, and Lara wants it so she can add it to her collection. She'll need to explore Macedonia, Greece, the Mediterranean sea, North Africa, and then return to Macedonia for this. She'll encounter both animal and human enemies, and uses a vehicle or two. The game should span something like 16-18 levels and features a version of Lara's Home. Really, I'm just shooting from the hip here :D But a new game along the lines of the classic Tomb Raiders would be awesome! I think we're in good hands with Aspyr who understand Tomb Raider, Lara Croft, and their fans
@@proto-geek248 i did that with og Saturn version myself, quit after 3 levels, like the combat and traversal, but puzzles annoy me so these kinds of games often drive me away save for a few here and there
Game wise, for me My Intro to Tomb Raider were the Crystal Dynamics reboots which I absolutely loved and it drew me more to Lara’s character. Other than seeing bits and pieces of the Movies before the 2018 reboot. I never played the originals at all until the remasters came out which is bought on the PlayStation store since I missed out on the originals growing up despite having a OG PS1 but not having that many games for it. I’m game for them continuing to bring more remasters out so I can give them all a spin for the first time Lara is a legend in her own right I’m sure they are going to do it justice.
This would be a dream come true and I know I won't buy anything that is only Crystal Dynamics. They need to just put their logo on Sabre only development or even better fire Crystal Dynamics. They don't like Lara Croft or her fans.
More cube-based movement is a good thing. They need to add a sensitivity slider for the turn speed. It would also be very useful if we could change other settings related to control, such as the deadzone. They should design it with support for analog keyboards in mind. They need to adjust the way movement/animations work so that you don't need to strafe to align for a jump, but that might be hard to get right.
How about a game that continues the story of Lara's death, (a TR 5.9 version) you know, it continues after Last revelation but starts before it and thus explains the circumstances of AOD.
Imagine if they did a remasted version of cores TR anniversary, bring back some of cores developers such as Gavin Rummery, Heather Gibson and others, Imagine they have a go at designing the levels. Imagine if they add back the levels, fix all the bugs and RPG elements of Aod. Imagine if the fan made levels were on a collective physical copy disc. Just imagine, just imagine!
I liked the Legend trilogy for the graphical aesthetics and I also liked the modern reboot trilogy for the beautiful open world exploration. But I can totally understand (and 100% agree) with the desire to bring back classic Lara Croft Tomb Raider. Heck I still come back to the og TR1 when I'm testing PS1 emulation on a new emulation device because it takes me back to a time when gaming was actually gaming and studios made games more compact and simple in design... In short I miss the 90s, so I would totally embrace this return to form in the TR franchise! Classic Badass Lara ftw!
I'm seeing a trend and this fits right in. Unable to move gamers beyond their favorite experiences which they grew up with and sequels being found wanting, new IP's lacking the creativity needed to engage the OG gamers - Studios have decided to just give us what we want. Make our favorite experiences valid again for modern equipment and wait . . . . . . for the next generation of gamers whom won't be engaged with the classics. How many people today seek out the classic Black and White films?
OMG I hope this might come true and they make new games in the old level engine. Tell them to do it Melonie! 😊 I'm sure they will listen, that is what us original fans want. Crystal Dynamics suck. I played TR1 on PlayStation one when it was first released and have played all the TR games more than once over the years.
Hopefully they don't keep the tank controls and delayed jumps of the originals. Those are the only things that haven't aged well and need improved movement controls.
@@MelonieMacGoBoom Not for newer entries. The tank controls were there because the levels were designed around a grid system, which means that platforming had to be slow and methodical. Having to slowly turn or be perfectly aligned with facing a ledge otherwise if you jump and are a bit off the mark in facing that ledge when trying to grab it means that you will miss it and fall off. That's very annoying. I know some classic TR fans will downplay the frustrating aspects of these games and tell you that they are perfect, but if we're honest here, they are not, and it would benefit if the game had levels that were more designed around fluid movement and controls rather than the aforementioned grid system. That's just how I see it. And if you're saying the tank controls are good because it's "part of the challenge", well, I cannot disagree more with that since it does not factor into any natural challenge and is more along just being jank. You want challenge? How about bringing back the save crystals instead of having the option to manually save anytime then we can talk about fair and honest challenges in games.
Omg a good looking classic Lara with classic and modern gameplay and modern controller design would be amazing. If they can make it semi open world amazing.
I'm not a big gamer and I just purchased a switch for the first time and the reason was because of the tomb raider remastered just wish it was a little bit easier to get the controls down first time I played was on a PC but it's my childhood and I love it that's one of the reasons what drew me to your channel was the tomb raider the background and the fact that you read from a New living translation
Can't wait to play tomb raider last revelation. It was my favorite game as a kid. Never finished it cuz I was dumb kid. And it's exciting cuz I never played chronicles and angel of darkness so this is the first time playing them

Shut up and take my money!
Oh please be true! Please be true! Please, please, *please* be true! Aspyr understands Tomb Raider far more than Crystal Dynamics.
Omg yes
Let's go❤
CD sucks. 😒
Aspyr making a better Tomb Raider game than Crystal Dynamics. Did not have that on my bingo card for 2025. :D
Saber mostly as they are the developers, but Aspyr publishes! :D
The fact that they even mentioned a new game in this engine tells me that it might actually come true.
I'm in the middle of Soul Reaver 1 remaster as well. It's bringing back lots of old memories.
Wiped like excrement from a boot 😂

- Back and side flipping:

To swim to surface, look up as much you can and move forward until Lara breaths again. You can swim forward, backwards and sideways freely on the surface. To dive, hold the jump button. To grab a ledge low enough, hold forward + grab button.

Use the backwards movement described above until you are positioned backwards towards a ledge, hold the walk + grab button, then hold backwards.
- Diving roll from sprinting:
While sprinting, keep holding forwards and press the roll button.
I think the new surprise mentioned will be a new revamped Level Editor and Steam workshop support so we can play new fan made levels for years.
Aspyr literally saved Tomb Raider by caring especially for the fans.
Underworld was my only Tomb Raider game I had played
TR Underworld wasn't that great atomb raider game in all honesty
@@bedfordshiremodeller4491 it is for me
nooo modern controls are amazing!! It get's easier when you use them esp doing backflips etc!
@ maybe I am thinking of side flips lol I’d have to check later when I get back LOL
Tank control supremacy 😎
absolutely must use tank controls.
I used the Modern Controls for the Torso Boss when I went through I, Pistols-only, no Medikits, under 5 hours, jus to make life easier! Went STRAIGHT back to Tank after, though! That was not a fun playthrough... damned Natla...
Bring it on!
Nice to hear Melanie actually speak positively about something for a change.
I do a lot, homie.
We need the true AOD trilogy!
May the Maker will it so.
This could work out one of two ways. They do this and it works out well and they maintain having the two different versions running parallel. OR the do this it does well and they start to look at it as taking sales away from the mainline crystaldynamic version so they cut the remakes.
That is my greatest fear&concern, that Crystal Dynamics sees the classic market taking sales away from their "modern" correct game and thus, solve the problem (or so they think!) by making sure their Tomb Raider is the only Tomb Raider.
Now that I know TR6 can be remastered, I am hoping&praying that the story continues with the 2 unrealised chapters in the NextGen Trilogy.
I don't know what can happen after that, but if the teams can come with original games that respect the classic experience, then I am all in for brand new continuations.
@zrowngctr I just have extremely low confidence in these bigger companies. At the end of the day they'll cuck the smaller more successful ones in a heartbeat. I wouldn't even put it passed them to buy out sabres team and lay all those people off.
At 9:32, PLEASE TELL ME, that you're going to release videos of your soulreaver 1 & 2 playthrough !! The LOK 5 game series has one of the most amazing story arcs ever !!!
My problem is that these adaptations are based on the versions of TR that werent very good compared to 1-3 ...btw i played all tr remakes and it was so fun to play them in bed around sleep time...the ambience really lulls you to a deep sleep
You mean reboots? Or remasters?
Duuude that would be sick!
Im playing Soul Reaver 1 remake myself, loving it
Remaster*
If we get a new Tomb Raider game in the style of the remastered collection then sign me up cuz it’ll be a nice return to form for the series especially after CD wrecked it.
I feel Aspyr has a lot of work ahead of them to redeem the TR series. I don't envy them.
I hope Lara's family finally gets a chance to come crawling back after she saves the world.
They should definitely continue the original timeline, but never forget it's about raiding tombs.
Omg they have tooo!!!
New Adventures in Classic would be craaaazy
I do believe AOD needs the justice it deserves. It's one of my favorite Tomb Raider games. I'm thrilled for the remaster.
New Tomb Raider with the classic engine and with the updated graphics!? That’s a W. 👏🏼
we need tomb raider 7-8-9 in the remastered style, brand new adventures for classic Lara 😭😭
TR Classic is an established genre now, so nothing to stop many more adventures being developed along the same lines. Waiting and hoping.📺
It makes me really happy to see a younger generation getting in and enjoying Soul Reaver. It's still one of my all-time favourites. Maybe a little too reliant on damn sliding block puzzles but I still love the game. And they did a fantastic job of the remaster too.
Meanwhile it would really make me happy if Crystal Dynamics just left Tomb Raider alone and left it to people who actually care about it.
If she has her classic Lara personality and non of that modern day survival Lara BS, I'll be hopeful.
I would be extremely happy because the classic Tomb Raider series are my all time favorites in the whole entire series. I’m extremely happy about IV-VI Remastered and I currently own I-III.
I’ll have to check this interview out! I love the legend games! Remaster them, why not!? Make them accessible everywhere!
Hi Melonie Boom. I played OG TR on its old controls and I am used to those. However, on remastered (PC) I was forced to use modern controls because I could not for some reason change button binding on Tank controls. For example jump is on X, where on old PS whas on square. It was a deal breaker for me. Do u know if they will soon enable binding on tank controls too?
I don't need any Christmas presents - as long as Aspyr will make new Tomb Raider games in the Remastered engine! :D It'd be cool if we got new games that continued the classic story, but I'd be just as happy if they were stand alone "forgotten adventures" or something. Perhaps along the lines of:
Tomb Raider: Crown of Immortality
Perhaps the Crown of Immortality is a lost artifact worth millions and rumored to give its wearer immortality or something. Some bad guy wants it for its power, and Lara wants it so she can add it to her collection. She'll need to explore Macedonia, Greece, the Mediterranean sea, North Africa, and then return to Macedonia for this. She'll encounter both animal and human enemies, and uses a vehicle or two. The game should span something like 16-18 levels and features a version of Lara's Home.
Really, I'm just shooting from the hip here :D But a new game along the lines of the classic Tomb Raiders would be awesome! I think we're in good hands with Aspyr who understand Tomb Raider, Lara Croft, and their fans
Would you say "Tomb Raider Legend" is a good introduction/game-length "tutorial" for newbies?
Start with the original.
@@proto-geek248 i did that with og Saturn version myself, quit after 3 levels, like the combat and traversal, but puzzles annoy me so these kinds of games often drive me away save for a few here and there
Legend was easy even as a kid, but at least you had to aim your jump properly. I'd go with the original.
Legend is in ps plus premium so you can try easily. Imho it aged very well and I got a plethora of fun playing it a few months ago.
Game wise, for me My Intro to Tomb Raider were the Crystal Dynamics reboots which I absolutely loved and it drew me more to Lara’s character. Other than seeing bits and pieces of the Movies before the 2018 reboot. I never played the originals at all until the remasters came out which is bought on the PlayStation store since I missed out on the originals growing up despite having a OG PS1 but not having that many games for it. I’m game for them continuing to bring more remasters out so I can give them all a spin for the first time Lara is a legend in her own right I’m sure they are going to do it justice.
This would be a dream come true and I know I won't buy anything that is only Crystal Dynamics. They need to just put their logo on Sabre only development or even better fire Crystal Dynamics. They don't like Lara Croft or her fans.
More cube-based movement is a good thing. They need to add a sensitivity slider for the turn speed. It would also be very useful if we could change other settings related to control, such as the deadzone. They should design it with support for analog keyboards in mind. They need to adjust the way movement/animations work so that you don't need to strafe to align for a jump, but that might be hard to get right.
How about a game that continues the story of Lara's death, (a TR 5.9 version) you know, it continues after Last revelation but starts before it and thus explains the circumstances of AOD.
Imagine if they did a remasted version of cores TR anniversary, bring back some of cores developers such as Gavin Rummery, Heather Gibson and others, Imagine they have a go at designing the levels. Imagine if they add back the levels, fix all the bugs and RPG elements of Aod. Imagine if the fan made levels were on a collective physical copy disc. Just imagine, just imagine!
Yo wassup, I love your videos, they are amazing, Keep it up👍
I liked the Legend trilogy for the graphical aesthetics and I also liked the modern reboot trilogy for the beautiful open world exploration. But I can totally understand (and 100% agree) with the desire to bring back classic Lara Croft Tomb Raider. Heck I still come back to the og TR1 when I'm testing PS1 emulation on a new emulation device because it takes me back to a time when gaming was actually gaming and studios made games more compact and simple in design... In short I miss the 90s, so I would totally embrace this return to form in the TR franchise!
Classic Badass Lara ftw!
I'm seeing a trend and this fits right in. Unable to move gamers beyond their favorite experiences which they grew up with and sequels being found wanting, new IP's lacking the creativity needed to engage the OG gamers - Studios have decided to just give us what we want. Make our favorite experiences valid again for modern equipment and wait . . . . . . for the next generation of gamers whom won't be engaged with the classics. How many people today seek out the classic Black and White films?
Imagine if they made the Angel of Darkess sequel using Murti Schofield's writing that he released with the Tomb of Ash website.
Yup, I just played both Soul Reaver remaster games and finished them yesterday. Now I need Defiance and then a continuation.
We want our sexy badass Lara Croft back
Glad to hear this. Definitely love to see this happen.
Oh sick this is fantastic news for Tomb Raider fans everywhere
OMG I hope this might come true and they make new games in the old level engine.
Tell them to do it Melonie! 😊 I'm sure they will listen, that is what us original fans want.
Crystal Dynamics suck.
I played TR1 on PlayStation one when it was first released and have played all the TR games more than once over the years.
Hopefully they don't keep the tank controls and delayed jumps of the originals. Those are the only things that haven't aged well and need improved movement controls.
The tank controls are the best way to play
@@MelonieMacGoBoom Not for newer entries. The tank controls were there because the levels were designed around a grid system, which means that platforming had to be slow and methodical. Having to slowly turn or be perfectly aligned with facing a ledge otherwise if you jump and are a bit off the mark in facing that ledge when trying to grab it means that you will miss it and fall off. That's very annoying.
I know some classic TR fans will downplay the frustrating aspects of these games and tell you that they are perfect, but if we're honest here, they are not, and it would benefit if the game had levels that were more designed around fluid movement and controls rather than the aforementioned grid system. That's just how I see it.
And if you're saying the tank controls are good because it's "part of the challenge", well, I cannot disagree more with that since it does not factor into any natural challenge and is more along just being jank. You want challenge? How about bringing back the save crystals instead of having the option to manually save anytime then we can talk about fair and honest challenges in games.
We will get there. I have faith.
Tanks Mel for this big news’I hope the remastered is very good continue your videos your are the best ✌️🙏
I'd truly love to play Angel of Darkness
with the classic controls implemented.
Omg a good looking classic Lara with classic and modern gameplay and modern controller design would be amazing. If they can make it semi open world amazing.
Hey Melonie and pet.
I want to play the three modern games in VR. There is already a VR version of the old ones available.
I'm not a big gamer and I just purchased a switch for the first time and the reason was because of the tomb raider remastered just wish it was a little bit easier to get the controls down first time I played was on a PC but it's my childhood and I love it that's one of the reasons what drew me to your channel was the tomb raider the background and the fact that you read from a New living translation
Can't wait to play tomb raider last revelation. It was my favorite game as a kid. Never finished it cuz I was dumb kid. And it's exciting cuz I never played chronicles and angel of darkness so this is the first time playing them
