    Has the remaster at least improved the super awkward control scheme on the original games?

    It’s really obvious when trying to turn Lara in a different direction without walking or running. The awkward steps when rotating.

    Or never being able to jump to an opposite edge correctly.

      they tried. you can choose between old tank controls or modern controls. but given the grid layout of the levels and how lara has to be in just the right spot to make many jumps it can be tricky with the modern controls.

      overall a decent remake and good for a couple hours of nostalgia.

    Most of these “remastered” versions don’t look any different from the original releases.

      That’s what you think until you play the original. Most of these remastered versions probably look like people fondly (and wrongly) remember them.

      That’s pretty much expected for most remasters. They upscale some textures, add more resolution options, and add support for modern systems. It’s like a remastered CD or movie, with the main goal (besides trying to get you to buy it again) being to release a less compressed version of the original.

      Remasters that are significantly different from the originals are outliers.

        Yeah people need to educate themselves on the difference between a remaster and remake.

        A remaster from the music term isn’t necessarily even just quality changes, but can sound or ‘feel’ different. But it’s still based on the original ‘master’ recordings.
