Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft

Why would you do this? Why would you even bother updating the game if the update is not going to address ANY of the feedback the player base has been giving you? Fans and players have been asking for fixes and QOL features from 4-5 remastered to be ported back to this trilogy for the better part of a year. Why would you ignore ALL of that just to fart out an update that gives us nothing that we wanted and everything that we didn't want. A challenge mode that no one asked for and a bunch of ugly low-res outfits that do not fit the franchise, the character or the quality of the rest of the remaster at all. It would've been somewhat tolerable if it stopped there, but no, you had to go and break everything good about this trilogy with an ever-growing list of new bugs and glitches that range from annoying to outright game breaking because you outsourced the update to some random company and didn't want to spend the amount of time and money to do the barest bit of QA testing to make sure that everything actually worked properly. It honestly would've been better if you had just left the game as it was and never touched it again. It would've sucked that we would never get those QOL stuff from the other remasters that we wanted, but at least we'd still have a functional game. This is incredibly disrespectful to the fans of the original games who were thrilled to see Classic Lara getting the love she deserves, and the dev team who put so much effort into crafting these remasters so that more people could experience these historical games. Either roll back the patch and NEVER touch this game again OR rehire Saber and give them all the time and resources they need to properly update the game in a way that actually addresses community feedback and DOES NOT completely screw everything up. Either way, Aspyr, you need to swallow your pride, stop ignoring this and admit you messed up. Because if you can't show this franchise some basic respect, then it should be taken away from you and given to someone who will. I love these remasters, but until this gets sorted, I can't in good conscience recommend buying them. If you really want to play these games, I'd suggest you buy the originals and download the TRX decomp mod. It may not have fancy updated graphics or modern controls, but at least it functions the way it's supposed to and actually addresses player feedback. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

[b]Note: This game was provided to me for a PCGamingWiki assignment.[/b] Originally, this was an good, if clunky in interface, remaster of the first three Tomb Raider games, with phenominal modern controls making the games much less difficult to control. Now? A 'Web 3.0' company has been permitted to make an update which has utterly ruined the game. Challenge mode is utterly broken, while the main games themselves being only slightly worse off. The costumes, furthermore, feature texturing which looks like horribly-AI-upscaled versions of those found on official costumes. Unless you're willing to jump through hoops to get the game back to a playable version, stay far away from this ruined game collection.

they broke the game and added ai slop outfits, a real spit in the face to "celebrate" the 30th anniversary guys... legit no one asked you guys to update the game two years later to show just how little you respect this fanbase. how utterly pathetic.

the most recent patch needs to be reverted to remove the unwanted challenge mode and low quality outfits that make no sense when you consider this is supposed to be a preservation project

AIspyr ruining a game that only needed some touch-ups and fixes. We'd have absolutely welcomed costumes that were designed by actual humans, and didn't cause environmental damage to create. Rehire Saber and stop being cheap and lazy.

Stop literally breaking the game with AI slopped patches.

Your new "update" not only gave us low quality AI looking outfits, but broke the game with many textures, audio, subtitles and even traps. Seriously, revert to patch 4 or fix this update with the original dev team from Saber. And give us IV-V photo mode, outfits, graphics, and settings. Before this "patch", it would have been recommended from me.
