Difference between the PS versions of the game (1.0-1.6)?
Just wondering if anyone knows what difference between the PS1 versions of TR were?
I know that the later versions had other game demo's included, but I was wondering if there were any differences in TR itself (such as bugfixes etc)? There were SIX versions of the game released on PS1, so there must be some kind of differences surely? Last edited by LarasHotpants; 25-08-17 at 00:51. |

Initializing each one and considering version 1.0 as the first official .... 1.1 added the Eidos logo at the beginning; 1.2 - 1.6 added several demos; I think the game remains the same, I do not know. |

Are the PSX executables different in size, checksum?
Maybe @b122251 or @Gh0stBlade would know? |

I know the PAL version is 17% slower in gameplay and the NTSC-U version has some difficulty changes (to make it easier) and slightly different geometry in some places.

TR2 onwards was fine. I recently played the NTSC U version of TR1 and it felt so much better. Never realised they'd made it easier though or changed room geometry Any examples? |

You meant the J version, not U.
I purchased Tomb Raider 3 PSX JP version and it has about double the pickups, an infinite save crystal in your inventory, Japanese text and speech, and enemies have half the health. The crystals function as a 100% health boost, and there are more of them, in line with the other pickups. There are minor changes to the maps, making puzzle solutions and hidden areas slightly more obvious, but not actually easier to complete/get into. Not sure if there's any bug-fixes per se. If anything there's a couple more because of the map changes. For example, the second tiger in Jungle does not jump out and attack you because it's stuck behind a brick wall with a big opening that has replaced the ferns. Once you go in that little area with the shells, it comes at you, but it spawns at the same time it does in the EU version. I enjoy playing the JP version, it's like an arrange mode. More to find. It's not like I ever really ran out of medipacks and ammo in the EU version anyway so I like the endless collectibles. Last edited by Helegad; 23-09-17 at 08:55. |
