Tomb Raider Original vs Anniversary Graphics Comparison

- Опубликовано: 10 фев 2025
- Since Tomb Raider Anniversary joined Xbox One Backwards Compatibility Library I thought it would be a great idea to do a comparison of this one of the very first remakes in gaming history with its 1996 original.
For those of you who had a chance to spend their childhood playing on PS One this video might be a nice back to the past.
Enjoy!
Please note that original Tomb Raider is PS One version of the game recorded on PS3 meanwhle Anniverary is Xbox 360 version captured on Xbox One X.
I loved Anniversary and wish SO much they make Anniversaries of every old TR game.
Yeah imagine a remake of TR2 and 3 *-* Venice in hd graphics mmmmm
Still, it would have to be done without all the crap they featured in newer installments
Oh that’d be so good.
There is a fan remake of TR2 being made.
@@DarthWall275 It's a fan remake and only one person is working on it... I hope Squarenix and CD make it like they did Anniversary I. But I doubt it...
@@bellithia I believe I said it was a fan remake, but looks good regardless.
But honestly I don't see SE returning to classic Tomb Raider anytime soon.
Lara in the original looks ike those girls that shave their eyebrows off and draw 'em on again.
Lmao
Cristiano Ronaldo
@@tcritt wtf
In anniversary the opening cut scene made Lara more sympathetic towards the Shirpa but in the original she checks his pulse then moves on “Well he’s dead, now let’s see about this tomb” 😄
Shirpa? I thought he was Mexican?
I miss this Tomb Raider so much 😔
I love the creepy and dark atmosphere in the old Tomb Raider
I played original TR like crazy as a kid, and I LOVED Anniversary, still love it today!! amazing remake that took best of TR and improved it. One thing I preferred in original is how Egypt levels were much more vibrant and colorful while in Anniversary they were very monochrome beige.. Anniversary/Legend/Underworld were last games I enjoyed! they need to remake TR2 too!! it would be amazing in today's graphics!!
In my opinion Anniversary was a stunning remake. It contains all the best from the original and bring it to the next level. I wish that tomb raider becomes to the epic old fashion one after "shadow of the tomb raider" ( witch is actually already a third person far cry with a bit of tomb raider we all know)
YESSSS WELL SAID!
Funny, I think Shadow looks more like classic Tomb Raider than TR 2013 and Rise combined. You got amazing jungle environments, puzzles, an option to disable all hints and painted ledges, free underwater movement, and more.

*Totally agreed!!*
*We want Nicobass Tomb Raider 2 Remake!!!* 😍
Ricardo Santos Ricardo Santos you've totally right with that jungle theme etc but at the end is it just 80% optimal what tomb raider actually stands for. You have to stop an Mayan apocalypse but you could looking for some herbs to help a old tribe lady to heal her son or so ... there is so much possibilities going on there (of course all optional). But those HUBs are the main concept around the new tomb raider series. From there you have to guide yourself trough the story with only 2 story based tombs or 10 (or so) optional tombs. In my opinion a tomb raider game must live from treasures, tombs and Adventures not for killing thousands of soldiers, any Rambo Features or roleplay elements motto "talk to many people to learn about the culture if the player want to" but yes on the surfaces shadow looks and seems definitely much more like an tomb raider an der 2013.
shhhhh nope
One thing that’s always stayed on my mind, why is Lara wearing shorts, a vest and sunglasses in snow mountains??!!! 😂😂
LOVE TOMB RAIDER!!!!! THE BEST CHARACTER IN VIDEO GAME HISTORY!!!!
They 100% talked about that lmao.Theres no way they looked at it in a snow area and was like huh yeah she's fine. Don't know about the orginal but the remake most likely wanted to make sure it was faithful to the og
Snow reflects sun lights. This make eyes hurt when weather is sunny. I live in Siberia, so i know it for sure 😆
Yeah the shots and the was it's funny tho ahaha but for the sunglasses they actually got that right you're supposed to wear them in a snowy mountain (like when you go skiing you put sunscreen and wear sunglasses)
First game lara was just being spontaneous. Also she wears more than kratos who goes into cold areas in practically only a tartan in god of war. Tomb raider 2 lara had more time to prepare. But yeah Lara's the kind of person who would leave right away if she had too and not think too much about how to dress. Again though after tr1 lara dressed better for each location
Maybe because she is too hot. If you know what I mean 😏
I think the old one is scariest, you have this sensation of being in danger and lost all the time and this is not in anniversary
It’s mad that it’s been longer since Anniversary than the time between the original and Anniversary. I think we’re due another remake, probably of TR2.
It's crazy. I literally looked at the date "2007" and was completely sure there was another game named exactly the same around 2013. How could this thing run on a 2007 machine? Back then 2gb RAM and dual-core processors were new... Truth is not much changed in video games since 2007...graphics are a bit better but not the huge step as seen between tb1 and anniversary or for example ff7 and ff12
@@baronnuuke7821 Graphics have got diminished returns. I agree. I try to tell others this, but they don't always understand. HUGE difference between PS1 style graphics and PS2, but less astronomical leaps with each generation. Tomb Raider Anniversary is actually a PS2 game that got ported to 360/PS3. PC version is best, but I have major audio problems.
I'm so happy that anniversary is the same game as the original 1996 version.
It needs to happen with all PS1s with TR 2-4 and the 5th one which is chronicles I'm guessing.
I just wish that with Anniversary they used more of the same lighting and colors from the original. I feel like it would have preserved the atmosphere a lot better.
This brings back so many good memories. Now if only the new Tomb Raider games were actually like this, and you actually raided tombs under ground, instead of being a one teenager army taking on thousands of armed men, breaking necks, and strictly going from point A to point B to complete your “objective”. This “the original/anniversary” is and will always be my favorite out of all the series, and it’s not just nostalgia talking. It’s finding abandoned ruins underground, it’s the whole H.G. Wells atmosphere mixed with the feeling of grave robbing, platforming, puzzle solving and trying to explore places you didn’t even know you could reach. Those things are what make the series what it was. I guess I’ll just have to enjoy games of my childhood until one day they realize that people like the exploration of the originals.
Same here!
Love those corny 90s cgi visuals of the original.
Mysterious Stranger that’s how I feel with the Resident Evil remake
Revolutionary, the transition to 3D games. It was amazeballs back in the day. Especially since I was gaming since back in 92. The difference since 2D then to the 3D games of 1996 was quite remarkable (Dukenukem3d, Quake etc) . I suppose it was like VR or 4k today only more significant and lasting. I guess the next stage is holograms. "Computer, end program"
I love the vibe of the classic tomb raider, it was kinda spooky
Liked the gameplay better in the old versions but they improved the graphics
BTW: This game "Tomb Raider: Anniversary" is on a huge sale for only .98¢ on STEAM right now until Aug 20th!
it's still on sale now. Great Game. Ashamed the original game keeps crashing.
@@LazyPirate8
Install the automated patch.
Old Lara was such a bad ass, wish they made a game like the old ones with the new engine instead of this survival crap.
Old lara was good because she had a very 90s cool vibe would love to see a lara croft game where she was low poly and did stupid over the top stuff in a low poly world. Imagine what can be done with all that savings on processing could make after effects and gritty detail better. Also the original deaths felt brutal.
@@DJstuff-q5g but the new deaths are even more brutal lol
Totally agree.
When i play videogames, i don't want to survive the enviroment, i want to DOMINATE the enviroment.
I hope that they release a new remake in 2020 or so, with nowdays technologies, the first game would look STUNNING.
Anniversary was (and still IS) the best Tomb Raider ever made
Oh my no.
shut up it's not
@Subi_fan underworld is better
Idk legend is probably my favorite
I agree
I fell in love with Lara from Anniversary and I'm still thinking that was the most beautiful Lara ever!
i reall wish they had remade all of the original games like this it would've been a cool opportunity to clean up some of the rougher edges of the originals e.g. the controls, they really haven't aged well, maybe get rid of the quick time events though, probably sound like a busted record saying this but while they look cool and all i don't see the point of them just fight the boss like normal using your own skill.
but you do have to use your own skill to fight the t-rex lol
You get a much better feeling of gravity in the ps1 tomb Raider for some reason
Omg love it nice work!😍 i am a huge fan of. Lara so keep up the good work
Thanks! Trying my best :)
Anniversary dino boss looks so cute :3
I remember jumping into that waterfall again and again and swimming in the water for hours in anniversary!
The real Lara Croft
The Anniversary Lara is my favorite one. She looks so beautiful.
This was the "next gen" version of TRA, not even the PC version had these shaders and that lighting. I remember i kept questioning myself why only ps3 and x360 had to have such an advantage, as I played it on PS2, PSP, and PC, and none of these were like that (and TRL did have the next gen option on PC)... Still, good times! I actually loved Anniversary (despite liking older TRs more)
Gameplay: TR
Plot: TRA
I think the highest settings on PC looked like this actually, this one didn't get the next gen treatment legend got (but probably runs way better lol)
I love this game remake.
Wanna know the reason why i love this Lara Croft more than new one?
She's not dirty.
Seriously, did you see Lara Croft on her 2013 reboots and it's sequels? She's covered in dirty and her hair is all messy! Yeah yeah, i know that it's realistic, that it's not "immersive" when character stays clean even after climbing a lot of cliffs... This is an aspect where realism ruined gaming. I want videogames to make me feel like an over-the-top epic hero/heroine who doesn't look at explosions. Today's heroes feel very hurt and weak whenever explosion occurs nearby.
Yes, i know that modern stories are more about personal growth... but hey, look, personal growth stories are everywhere nowadays, so it seems like a nice moment to become hip and cool by loving old games when protagonists were more perfect. If i would love modern TR games i just won't be unique, understand?
Havent played the original, but Anniversary felt like sucha great game.
Wish it would get a remaster.
I just ordered a 360 copy for my Xbox One - cant wait to play it!! :D
So anniversary is a remake of tomb raider 1?
Yes! I don't now if you'll read this, I just want to answer :)
@@nicobeto5176 Thank you!
2 years later 😂👌
@@monovale442 If I have saw before I would answer before 😂. You're welcome!
@@nicobeto5176 it's ok 😂👌, thank you for your comment.
Happy New Year! 🎉🎊
@@monovale442 Happy New year for you too 🎉
Tomb Raider Anniversary on Xbox One X looks great ! Its back compact just fyi.
Well I like the old one. and the anniversary. But the graphics on Anniversary are much better. and Everytime I play Anniversary it Always remind me of the old one.
Anniversary is the Best TR that CD had made (Legend comes second).
ROTR, SOTTR are just poor adaptation of Uncharted.
i felt that anniversary was a magical game back then its is a really good game to this day the gameplay is smooth each gun has an unique feeling the envirements are special like the first one
Tomb raider1 original looks better than the Tomb Raider Anniversary, in the original scene in the beginning she wore black glasses which looks better than the new glasses in Tomb Raider Anniversary, similarly all the environments in the original looks better.
Original has its charm (more colorful, etc.), but it's a bit painful for the eyes.
I actually prefer the original as nothing can beat originals in general. Tomb Raider Anniversary was amazing though.
They should make these games for ps 4 bring them back there goood games
Missing classic TR so much. I hope they do a remake of TR 3 & 5. It would be amazing!!
Tomb raider was ruined gameplay wise when they switched to scripted platforming because scripted gameplay does not have that certain feeling you experience while playing 1-5, angel of darkness wasn’t scripted but it rarely delivered that feeling however storywise and environment wise it is one of the best.
what was scripted the cinematics ? LOL
When you jump to certain spots lara automaticaly grabs. This and the movements removed the calculations you had to make for the jumps. The same principle is used in uncharted franchise.
@@magnaesca165 in the configuration has an option that when activated the lara stops to hold sosinha you will have to press the right button.
@@magnaesca165Na configuração tem uma opção que quando ativada a lara to to hold sosinha você terá que apertar o botão direito.
I don’t know why so many classic tomb raider fans didn’t like anniversary. To me it was a perfect remake.
DejaVoodooDoll couldnt disagree more. it has pretty much the exact same levels, so if you were not exploring archaeological sites in anniversary, you weren’t before. No one forced you to play it. I think the physicality of Lara in the legend trilogy was awesome and added so much to her character.
DejaVoodooDoll I have played both games...I know what each of them are like. Yes there is changes to accommodate the more modern gameplay but it’s still a very faithful remake. It’s controls are still great even today and if you think that game is twitchy you just think all modern action games are as it is no more or less twitchy than any other modern game.
One was action, and cutscene heavy, the other was exploration and puzzle focused. Big difference. More of based on the original than being a true remake.
The fact that the black circle shades were not used in the remake intro is SACRILEGE
4:58 I see no improvement!
I hope you're joking XD
Are you playing youtube in game boy classic?
Imran Mughal No, I am blind.
You better be!
yutro213 thats not kind!
Never compare a hummingbird and an ostrich
It's like TR Legend. Not like they had to completely remaster it. All they had to do was make it better and better they made it. 🖒
Bro she jogs when she’s trying to run
Great remake respect for the original with new things I hope tomb raider 2 3 4 remake with same formula
Unfortunately, this game sold poorly compared to others. The original 1996 and tomb raider 2013/2014 sold better. I think Tomb Raider Anniversary is one of the best ones. It has all the classic themes: platforming, level design, puzzles, deadly traps, atmosphere, isolation, Lara's backpack, boots, gloves etc. And they have some of the classic music I think. The game has mediocre combat & lacks set-pieces, but it was a remake and a 2007 game after all. I've love to see another tomb raider like this one, but even better maybe. Angel of Darkness had its share of technical issues & was much different than Anniversary. Shadow of the Tomb Raider plays more like a role playing game to an extent; not a classic platformer.
Anniversary is trash , they changed the jumping mechanics completely into stupid shit , fuck this game, The game is has no longer platforming sections WTF? if it wasn't for the original TR1 levels it would have been like the shit robot
Nice! Don't see too many actual Remasters. They did a fine job with this one. Another good remaster was Crash Bandicoot.
Anniversary is remake.
It is NOT a remaster, it's a Remake. Crash Bandicoot one was a Remaster because it was basically the same game gameplay-wise, just with new graphics. But in terms of game engine it was a remake, though, so it's a hard call. But Tomb Raider Anniversary is a Remake because it plays nothing like original and also has different locations and different story direction. I somewhat don't understand why do humans care so little much about correct terms yet act like they're experts. I'm just saying that they should not act like experts when they don't do research.
The anniversary version is way better!
Luca Critics NO SHIT
Raț Florin Hahaha no I wasn’t talking about graphics tho 😂 but the way they improved the gameplay and mechanics
It's more action heavy. Don't like it. Too cutscene focused. Loses atmosphere and exploration
WE NEED A REMAKE OF TR2!!
And hopefully, if they make one, it will not be a bullshit outcome like the Resident Evil 3 remake
why did she have to cut the rope in order to drop down right before she shot those wolves? i mean, she could have let go right?
I love it! She can use the leftover rope for later ghehe. A good excuse for this epic dropdown. ;)
@@Dellafluf thats fair didnt think of that!
Soooo much nostalgia it hurts :[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[
i just got the anniversary for my Wii
I really dont get why they made the legandary T-Rex a quick time event..... i mean... IT'S A F*CKIN LEGEND!!!
You fight it normally too. The quicktime event is at the end. Sorry if I misunderstood your comment.
love it!
Amazing improvement in anniversary! But Cycu..I have a question.. Legend and classic Lara aren't the same..Then why do they have mixed biographies and where can I get true information for all Laras biographies? Thanks!
The remake adapts it for the legand timeline
Tomb Raider Anniversary is BOTH a remake a prequel to tomb raider legend (weird I know).
Why did I actually feel bad for that dinosaur lol.
The original hurt my eyes. Spoiled with 4k resolution thesw days.
My brother played on PS2 I wasn’t even born lmaooo
Damn I played this in elementary school she was my childhood hero. So I’m biased to not have much fun with the newer games lol, I miss the ambience of the old games how scary the silence was... puzzles seemed harder and smarter.. and Lara barely talked either she was way more of a bad bitch... lol so I’ll be the only vote for original baby! 🤘
You should’ve compared the trilogy versions of the game
To były czasy kiedy gra na konsole wyglądała lepiej niż na PC i Anniversary jest tego przykładem Legenda również
przez chwile może i tak było, teraz PC to potwory, taki gtx 2080 to będzie potwór mocniejszy od PS5 i XBOX Crimson.
Rockman Rossi pytanie kogo będzie na to stać
The anniversary was exactly the same and their should be a complete remaster with original cast but renew dialogue
Que aprendí de tomb Raider es a nunca conseguir un trabajo como guía porque siempre es el primero en morir
I choose the original
awesomejf03
Me too.
But why tho ¿ xD
Me too
04:58 if you don't like me at my ... You don't deserve me at my ...
*OG wins!*
i think original pc game was better they changed it too much in anniversaty
Really? Bad tank controls combat and claiming
change can be good
@@Rounexplainedvidsp Thanks to people like you, every game feels the same. Since you can't handle learning tank controls. I miss my Resident Evils and Tomb Raiders. Fucking action crowd
Remake ficou lindo
What do you mean “one of the very first remakes”?
Ihave the annieversary edition.Its amazing to play.
Aww. Poor dinosaurous.
After seeing the T-Rex part, I'll stick with the Original Thanks.
you needed a strategy for the t-rex unlike the first one when you could kill the T-rex with pistols only LOL
you can't kill the T-rex with pistols only
Exactly. I would find it boring as hell to defeat a boss without any tactics, and in Anniversary, we were given a tactic for the T-Rex; shoot him repeatedly until he enrages and charges and then, lure him into hurting himself. That is so epic and way better than the Original.
It actually hurts seeing you dissing this remake when it's my first Tomb Raider game...
I mean, you should diss the 2013 reboot instead, come on! You point your dissing in a wrong direction!
You should love Tomb Raider Anniversary because it's NOT a 2013 reboot, while you should hate 2013 reboot because it's a 2013 reboot! It's a simple logic!!!
Tomb Raider and MGS have been remastered excellently.
Meanwhile FF VIII ...Square being lazy
Those are Remakes, not Remasters.
I've read alot of comments here about the atmosphere being creepier and scarier in the original literally due to the shit limitations they had. They had to use alot of tricks for draw distance. I've played alot of Sega Saturn and PS1 games, but good lord the Original game is just ugly as sin. The dinosaur and the FMVs are so much cringe to look at I have decided I'm playing Anniversary and skipping the Original. Not to mention I get to avoiding putting myself through importing the Sakatore copy from Japan for the Saturn all to avoid framerate issues? Or bug? I don't even care. All way too much work just for a pixelated dark flicker mess. PS1 was my very first true console as a kid and I have almost no nostalgia for the thing because of how ugly it was to me then as it is to me now aside from Croc, Motor Toon Grand Prix, Spyro, and Vigilante 8 that console was ugly looking.
Tomb Raider 1 original the best Tomb Raider!
She’s Saturn version 👀
Original looks way better :D
5:01 very good for meme
Lara Croft for Smash Bros Ultimate
Poor guy in the beginning lara got him killed cause of her bullshit. Lmao
We need a remake of 2 and 3 😭
The original all my life, I hate the remake.
Why?
You should hate the 2013 reboot, not the remake!
A Real Tomb Raider fan should love any Tomb Raider game that is before 2013 TR game, so we can make other people think that 2013 and on games are worst, don't you see the awesome logic?
@@KeyleeTamirian For me, the best Tomb Raiders are the Core Design Tomb Raiders, I never liked the remake and less the 2013 remake.
If you want I can give you my reasons why.
@@Freezer5min Sorry, i'll pass on that. It's just i think that us Old and Middle-school Tomb Raider fans should be united against Newchool Tomb Raider instead of making quarry against each other.
They had to ruin the Anniversary version with QTEs. -__-
66 6 What Is QTEs?
V - Trigger quick time events
It's only a few and it's actually pretty hilarious when you fail them.
@@bluecorp8557 really? easiest qtes ever. There are only some arrows and the time until they fail automatically if you don't press anything is huge. Edit: arrows only on PC, lol, sorry.
i hope you realise QTEs were still relevant in 2007 anniversary is 11years old
lol downgrade lazy devs old game has more passion UNLIKE CURRENT GAMES
like if u agree
And no one liked this comment.
@@reng935 my comment was a joke
@@weed75black35 oh. Ok then.
Makes no sense it's like you think the 1996 game is comparable in graphics to the remake. How would anyone know it's a joke? The passion comes from the atmosphere. So would actually be safe to assume, you are not joking
Original 1996 tomb raider is better than 2007 one but lara skin 2007 is way better than Original
I want a Legends Remake. Or at least a remaster. ;(
Tutaj za mało poruwnań.
Ps1 version now is wack on controls
No it was fun. It wasn't trying to be an action game. It was a platformer and unique. Nowadays games all feel the same. Now that is wack
Who else thinks that the man that died in the beggining killed by the wolves was Jonah ?
Why can’t the newer tomb raiders be more like the TR Anniversary😢
O grafico do aniversary e ótimo mais eu prefiro o original
Nastologiaaaaaaaaaaaa
TR1 is one of the Best... Annyversary one of the worst.
Graphic isn't all in a game.
-Yeah. When I played it I said: Where the Larson, Pierre, Kold Kin Kade and Jerome Johnson fights are? And where is the cowboy?
-The bosses can be killed only with the dual pistols.
-The new save mode it´s shit. In this kind of game the player should be able to save where he wants.
- The new version of Pierre it´s so....
- You can not dive for a long time.
- The AI of the enemies is lower than in Tomb Raider 3, for example.
- The submerged room with the statues of anubis and Orus/ Or Ra (I don´t know who´s the other one) it´s not so amazing.
- The jumps are shorter.
- The Pierre death it's so stupid, and the same with Larson, and Kold Kin Kade and Jerome Johnson.
- And it was the first time that a Tomb Raider game bores me.
- And ¿Where is the blood?
-Haters
-Haters
-Haters anniversary was more realistic than the first one
Son Goku Yeah you can call it hate but I have reasons to do it, I played it and it was the first time that a Tomb Raider bored me.
And those are some of the reasons.
Freezer 5min you must obviously not have good perception then because Anniversary is literally the best. You pointed out all of the negatives, you forgot about the positives.
- the gameplay is far better and gives the player far more options
- you have 2 dual 50. Caliber pistols, 2 Mini SMGs and a Shotgun to defeat bosses, as well as the dual pistols
- it was made to be realistic, obviously you can't be underwater for a long time
- the soundtrack is so epic and gives you chills
- the player is allowed to save the game wherever and whenever they wish so they can go back to any point of the game
- you have cheats and rewards, which is more interesting
- the graphics are incredible (the PS3 version).
Djordje Jovic
-More realistic does not mean it's more fun.
-The graphics are better. They aren't all.
-The OST it's ok. But it does not reach to the Core OST.

This is out of the subject,
Save yourself and pray that God will forgive you for your sins. Dear God, I know I’m a sinner, and I ask for your forgiveness. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe that He died for my sin and that you raised Him to life. I want to trust Him as my Savior and follow Him as Lord, from this day forward. Guide my life and help me to do your will. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen. God forgives your sins through the sacrifice of Christ.
And enjoy a clear conscience, eternal life, forgiveness, and fellowship with God.
