Will Crystal make a classic TR remake?

Oh, that actually makes some sense but would be that huge of a difference vs PS2 which was out for longer than PSP?

Well, I think making games on PSP was kinda easier especially if the PSP version was the base version of the game.

Because from what I know majority of the PSP games ran at 20 FPS and had a very low resolution.(So low resolution would allow the developers to hide ugly graphic effects.)

AOD is an example of them being too ambitious / evolving too much with the restraints that they had but they can still be admired for their effort. I think it's unfair how one poorly received game can outweigh the previous 5 mostly well received games that made such an impact on the gaming industry.

There were many mistakes and people to blame for AOD, yet today the issues would have been patched out and it would all be fine. Shame Core didn't get the chance to learn from that and do better for the sequel.

This.

Games these days get shipped in a FAR worse state - but devs can patch the issues out easily now.
AOD was from a time when this sort of thing just wasn't available.

I find it amusing in front of myself that - IMO - scratchy, low res footage, of an alpha game, for the PSP, made with a small budget, looks far more atmospheric with it's beautiful use of colours, rich, moody lighting looks like it'd be a much better product than TRA in it's finished, higher production form does - and TRAE looks to not cut bucket loads of content, either, as all the levels were based on original geometry, just greatly enhanced.

Maybe someone will leak that after few more years similar to the way that Warcraft Adventure game got leaked.

I bloody hope so. Ideal situation would be it's leaked in it's most complete state, and the talented fan community use assets TRA if need be (such as enemy character models with TRXtra textures) combined with TR1/AoD assets (such as sound effects) to complete the project as most likely intended.

What do I think about it is that CD has not the right tools to make a real tomb raider game,even if is a remake and tomb raider anniversary is the proof.
If this brand will be in their hands I m afraid that it’s not gonna happen,we need a team who really care about tomb raider and what this game was originally.
They only care to have their stupid version of Lara Croft and make people forget about the old and real Lara. No wonder why people here hate them!

I can understand your feelings about the modern TR-games. But... Why are you so sure that everyone hate the modern Lara so much here? There're many fans here, who likes the modern version.
