Surprisingly for me, it is true According to Wikipedia, The Angel of Darkness had sales of 2.5 million copies and Tomb Raider Anniversary – of 1.3 million. |

At least newcomers to TR still play it, as it’s a modern remake of TR1 (it is a remake, like it or not). |

If it's a remake, it's a bad one. If you call it a "reimagining" or whatever, you can at least judge it on its own merits but if it's a remake, it needs to be judged on how good of a job it did recreating the TR1 experience and it did not do a good job of that at all.

All the remakes I played have been serious reimagining.
The only one I heard it was a loyal remake was Resident Evil (2002), or maybe Super Mario 64 DS. By the way I wonder if TRA has reached 2M by now, with Tomb Raider Trilogy on PS3 and Steam sales. |

I've not played it, but was MGS: The Twin Snakes faithful to the original MGS? |

As for remakes that stick very close to the originals, I think the recent Spyro, Crash Bandicoot and Shadow of the Colossus remakes did that (though I haven't played any of them so I'm not 100% certain on that). |

Thanks both of you for those remakes suggestions !
I wonder if they used the word "remake" for the marketing department or mentioned by developers. I don't remember. I actually in the same state of mind, Zebra. For me Anniversary leans more toward reimagining than remake. I don't mind that much as I'm more lucky to liking the game in itself. However I agree they could do more to reach the original "feeling", but only if they had more time to produce, at least more than just a few months. All of this inspired me to make a level by level comparison thread in Anniversary section. |
