The mummy looks fine, I'd say. I was disappointed by one thing in the trailer and that was the Tyrannosaurus Rex. I don't know why that jade warrior looks like all new model while the dinosaur gained no changes except crispier textures.

Regarding the FMVs, I seriously doubt they'd cut them completely and leave the games without much story context. I find it more believable they'd remake the cutscenes from scratch before they'd do that, but most likely no they'll just leave the FMVs in as they are or do some AI go brrr.

Also he's acting like each game is as cutscene-heavy as contemporary games are. 90s games typically did not have many or long cutscenes. The trilogy altogether probably has no more than 20 minutes worth of cutscenes and I'm being quite generous saying 20. It's really not that much work for a year.

I think they could definitely take the graphical upgrade a lot further than what we've seen so far, but if they don't, feh whatever. It's still a **** tonne better than the current PS version we have access to. People are also forgetting we live in the era of post-release patch culture. I don't particularly like game developers doing this, I think they should release a finished product from the start, but regardless they can further improve a game post-release now.

Maybe I should be more nit-picky and demanding. However considering the tone towards classic remasters, even just a lazy port of the HD PC versions to console, seemed like an absolute "**** no you'll see humility from Donald Trump before you get that from us and you can kiss our arses" when SE were in charge, I'm just grateful this is happening at all now. I want to support it.

Gorls, gays and all that are in-between… Apparently the game doesn't have cloud saves? Is this true? What the heck?

I don't know why, but to some people, Steam is showing 270 achievements.



In my account is still 189.

I just did a rough calculation: there is almost an hour of cut-scenes in the first three games, about half of which is pre-rendered.

I agree with you. It would be ludicrous to cut the FMV's. Cutting them would make people mad as well as sad. Moreover it would be a talking point in every review, on the forums and everywhere. If the FMV's are cut, you can wash "faithfully remastered" down the drain. And there is no reason whatsoever to cut them in the first place.

270 achievements is a lot O.O I hope the pop-ups can be turned off ^^;

Lol I was way out then I remember it being far less than that for some reason.

Still I don't think it's that tall an order

Among the 270 I'm guessing there must be one for completing every level, individually I mean. Maybe finding all secrets in a given level grants one too

Only gorls, gays and those in-between need cloud saves.

How are you doing this? I can't see this number anywhere.
