I understand, but a lot of care went into it and it's obvious. It's a quality product that doesn't deserve to be trashed because it wasn't remasters.

One is clearly a high effort, planned, calculated, and true celebration of an entire franchise vs. a quickly scrambled together home movie due to the devs being pressured on Twitter.

How people can still be satisfied with Crystal's pathetic breadcrumbs is beyond me.
TR Anniversary was so ridiculous! Very disappointing! Every other franchise gets better treatment.

Yeah, the book was nice, it’s just there was nothing else. Not even a t-shirt.

You mean the trailer where they showed '15 amazing years of AC' but had minimal Ezio, the firm franchise favourite, even less Desmond and no Altair at all, the one who started everything. I wasn't impressed.

It's the equivalent of CD doing a trailer with all the iterations of Lara and stopping at AoD.

That trailer was great if you like recent AC, but pretty crappie at honoring the full 15 years of the franchise.

^LMAO those are the only characters I know, no wonder I felt out of the loop.

I wish CD would just leak whatever they had with the remake so we have something to look at and talk about. They don't even have to say who leaked it, just act surprised and if people like it then release it anyway.

With the amount of stuff that 'leaks' these days, I think it's honestly part of the promo cycle these days.

It's an excellent way to test the waters without committing. If its hated you can say it was just a leak, no comment and squirrel away changes in the background to change things (which is what I hope CD are doing I'd project jawbreaker was still current at the time if leaking cause that was universally panned).

As opposed to ascension which everyone was so stoked about immediately. I really hope they have backup ideas or start from scratch and take their time. Or they could just listen to the fans and give us a new TR 1-3 type game to find their TR groove.

Literally all they have to do is watch speed runs of TR1-3 in 2x speed and timestamp the best moments and make a level list, and recreate those vibes with mixed and matched weather, locations, and elements, but flip the map of the level layouts so nobody notices. That's the easy part. The other easy part is remastering the animations, changing very little besides the analog directional running, and keeping running jump on consistent measured basis. Do the engine with assumed automatic rule barriers of interactivity like the grid without the blocks, and you're done with that part. The hardest part is really the story. That's the part that's going to take true inspiration. Just hire Scorsese and Tarantino, IDK what else to tell you CD. What you been doing hasn't been working. Fire whoever is responsible for jawbreaker. And rise. and especially shadow.

Maybe Jawbreaker will be the new Ascension.

I couldn't decide whether to nickname the leak Heartbreaker or Bankbreaker.. so I'm just going with Gutpuncher because that's what it felt like.
Down with the leak! Down with the leak! Down with the leak!
