I'd be ALL IN for that. Man, that would be awesome.

Of course I don't see any point in operating from a premise of criticism when honoring the games with a remaster.
I personally find her FMV models just a bit too uncanny and ridiculous tbh, that's why I've never liked them and wouldn't really love seeing them in-game.

I don't want them to throw the baby out with the bathwater like they have with the Reboot games though. She can still be very exceptionally attractive, fit-curvaceous, leggy and exotic looking. Those are classic Lara's features and I would like to see them remain, even if the overall look is still a bit more grounded.

As far as gameplay, I would hope there's a way of speeding things up just a little bit, especially where her running and turning animations are concerned. It doesn't have to be super fast, just not so slow, tank-y and clumsy feeling. This is especially important for TR1, where the PSX controls are still even now slower than TRs 2-5.

She's a cartoon though.

I get that you don't like Lara Croft's appearance, but how are they going to create a 1:1 remake of these games with a different character.

Gameplay-wise, I would kind of prefer something new for a remaster. Something like the classics’ tank control/grid system, but different. I think a remaster could benefit from it, so long as we still retain the classics’ platforming and difficulty. Maybe something like AoD, although much quicker, less buggy, and just all around more polished. AoD always seemed like they were going for a progression of the classics’ formula.

But idk, it’s not a big deal, and I love the original gameplay as it is. I do think they should implement a 180-degree turn though.

I do like her overall appearance and character design, how it appeared in-game was fine in the CORE era games actually

I just don't like the FMV models for the reasons I said. I'd prefer a new model based on that look, that can still be a bit larger-than-life and exceptionally gorgeous but not quite to that level of caricature. I'll repeat...

Literally build a new model heavily based on the TR2-3 in-game model and tbh it would be perfect to me.

Hell, they could even use the AoD model without the goth-y make-up, that would be amazing too.

I'm cool w/ AOD Lara. Always kind of got TR2 vibes from her at certain parts in AOD. But yeah, I think if the remasters were to ever happen then CrystalD incarnations of Lara need to stay out of the picture.

But the in-game models are literally just FMV counterparts with less 3D detail. It's like... if they stabbed themselves in the eyes until they were blind, and then decided to draw Lara.

Aye, this for me. Crash was pretty faithful but some of the physics was altered (eg ice in Crash 2). I'd want it to play exactly like the originals.

I don't even care about visual remastering, just make the games fully compatible with modern PC and console systems. Getting TR1 especially to run on my PC is a challenge on its own.

Yes! I don't want to be slipping off edges and having floaty jump physics. The classics probably wouldn't work as well if they were not accurate enough anyways. Like, the 3-block jumps are rather specific.
