It's the bosses that have the health bars. Regular enemies don't.

That's got to be the most retarded excuse for a trigger warning yet. Why are the devs acting like their jump n run games were inspiration for people to genocide indigenous people??

I'm still putting my money on the Silent Hill 2 remake having the most retarded trigger warning for lack of black people if that turns out to be true.

Save anywhere, like the PC versions. New Game+ has the save crystals.

To be fair, CORE, an Euro company, were the O.G. developers of the PS1 games, not Crystal Dynamics. They only came in when Angel of Darkness bombed but did do an anniversary remake of the original game.

which, as I stated before in the thread, was aces, and what got me into the franchise to begin with. The mightier they are, the harder they fall.

Is the game out already? I turned on my sexy Switch Lite and saw the trilogy taking up a space, and my Switch has been downloading something for the last few minutes.
Edit: Nope. Downloaded 6 gigs (!) but says I'm not allowed to play it yet.

It was available to download, so I played through the tutorial and the first level. ~4GB download and 6GB installed for all 3 games together. Not bad! Consider that a CD ROM would be 700MB, so taking up 6 times that compressed is decent for including both old and new graphics + the expansions.
The tank controls are the defaults and you can switch between the old and new graphics with a single button like with some of the other recent remasters. The difference is staggering, not just visually, but the smoothness between it running at a very high framerate vs the original's 30.
There is virtually no loading even running off a hard drive and save/load is instant too. Aesthetically, it's a little up and down, but a lot of areas look really nice. At some points they really nail the "this is how you remembered the game was" and you can switch graphics and realize how much detail your brain fills in.
Dual analog muscle memory is screwing with me and I'm taking too much damage fighting the enemies. But I'll stick to the tank controls atleast for a first playthrough since I should get used to it soon enough.
Here's my complaints list:
1. The game hitches when moving to new areas sometimes. Maybe if you put it on an SSD, it won't be noticeable. I would say it happened 3 or 4 times in my hour or so in the game.
2. Some areas are really, really dark in comparison to the original graphics.
3. I can't figure out where the video settings are. I would atleast like to see if it's possible to enable VSR on my card and run the game at a higher res than my monitor for photo mode screenshots.
4. Photo mode camera isn't steady and drifts a little, don't know if I can hold it in place somehow. I will look it up later.
5. Nvidia overlay doesn't work, and gog overlay and the game do even worse together to the point where opening it or taking a screenshot makes the game go black for a few seconds. Steam overlay might work, didn't try it yet.

There was a time during the 2000s when Crystal did put care with Tomb Raider with the Anniversary trilogy. Try to play the 07 remake of I-III called Anniversary, and that shows how much they used to care. So no, Embracer did not destroy CD. Squeenix did and the new employees over there are doing the same shit during the Squeenix era.

It's not a dealbreaker.
Agree with him on the textures too, if they used AI upscaling, you can't really tell. They definitely did a fair bit of it by hand.
Unlike John I didn't see the game stuttering or hitching all the time on Nvidia, but atleast there's a fix in the control panel. It's still unacceptable and should get patched.

eh, dunno. I rather have embracer test the water with a remake to see how much people actually want old lara before going back to it. and even if it does not bring the numbers they want/need, we at least get a remaster out of it. if we get a second trilogy with a "director's cut" angel of darkness I'd be fine with it too.
I've said it time and time again, it's time to throw the towel away, CD is done, and it's all because shitty management has ruined the things we thought was having so much potential.

What's really weird about this is that the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection had an extremely similar trigger warning:
It almost makes you wonder if it's centralized.
Triple AAA corpos are hellbent on pretending that the retro games are completely "problematic, like yikes forever y'all, we knew they were a bit sus back then!" so that they have to insure the modern leftist woke crowd with their bullshit trigger warning screen that would only fit well in a Golden Age of Animation short from either Disney, WB, MGM, Fleischer, Walter Lantz, etc.

I hasten to add that I would not trust any screen that implies that the content is unedited either. MMBN has some very Current Day edits, specifically to dodge a reference to Z as in Russia/Ukraine. This was in lieu of fixing terrible script errors and typos of course.
Do not be surprised if they removed something.

This kind of disclaimer ends up on a lot of old stuff now. They just want to let you know if you like old stuff that it's evil & racist and that you are evil & racist for enjoying it.
It's one of the many reasons why we should pirate everything.

I'm not sure they put this type of disclaimer into the game to tell you that your evil. I don't have any proof but I would bet they added it as protection against the crazy people on retard era and twitter so that these losers have less of a reason to try and create some weird boycott of the game that would effect sales. If the companies really wanted to rub in it your face that you're evil they probably would've not left that stuff in the game.

Content warnings have been around forever, but they tend to be so vague and meaningless people don't even remember them.

Those ones at least weren't some moral finger waging.
Also personally, back in the day when horror games were still novel and tend to be gorier than the usual stuff being releases, it kind of added to that forbidden appeal of "ooo I shouldn't be playing this!" when you're a dumb kid.
Not sure why Origins was still warning people by that point other than it just being a staple of the series.
This one still gets me:
