TR I-III Remastered General Feedback & Requests


Thought I'd copy TRJTA's style here.

To help the developers of the remasters, I think it's nice to have a general thread that outlines feedback relevant to the remaster as a whole. That is, things that may be present but but doesn't quite fit into a specific game. It's known that the builds that were shown today are not the latest ones and that additional patches will be released. Still, I think it won't hurt to make an orderly thread like this to kindly and respectfully express our feedback.

The idea of this thread is to ONLY post your feedback and not to start a discussion. This way the developers have less noise to read through and it will keep this thread orderly. Please keep your requests and feedback realistic and respectful. Also, please state which version of the game/ console your feedback is for, and if you know it could apply to other consoles.

EDIT I've gone through the effort of generalizing things I've seen on here. I've missed out a few things, because they seem to be down to personal taste, or a lot of conflicting suggestions:

General Improvements:
More fine tuning of button layouts on consoles, and toggleables (e,g health bar, save/load game).
Lock unlock save files
Fix Lara's braid
Review draw distances
Fix misaligned textures
Remastered inventory backgrounds
60fps on classic mode
Better visibility with keys
Add footsteps in TR1/2
Better consistency across all 3 games (presentation, item sizes etc)
Expand photo mode
Level select
Outfit selection
All Hallows level on TRIII
Gamma/ brightness settings
Ingame tutorials for modern controls

Graphical Improvements:
Better consistency in quality of levels
More realistic water, fire etc
Better textures
Missing graphical effects in classic mode
Graphics options

Audio Improvements:
Improve sound effects across the board in remastered mode.
High quality audio

Improvements to modern controls:
General control improvements/ fluidity (traversal, platforming etc)
Slightly faster mechanics on modern controls (and perhaps on classic mode)
Enemy lock on/ aiming
Fix modern control camera
Add tank controls to D-Pad
Hybrid mode - tank controls with responsive camera (I.e, Lara turns with right thumb stick).

Nintendo Switch - Swap the inventory and graphics toggle buttons (or at least allow them to be swapped from the controls configuration menu).

Generally:

Please make that level of quality seen in some areas (environment, models, objects, etc.) an inherent standard throughout all the games!

[Costel]

Add a lock on enemies feature for modern controls. On all consoles and PC.
I play on PS5!

It would be nice if they allowed save files to be locked and unlocked at will, so you don't accidentally overwrite a save file that you want to keep unchanged. See the NES and SNES Classics for examples.

1 - Modify the water for a more realistic look in each game.

2 - Polish the leaves that remain on the ground, they look like 'material glued to the floor', different from the leaves on trees or walls.

3- Fix Lara's braid, she's oscillating between 2D and 3D

4- Review the Draw Distance of some areas, as there are levels that have a great Draw Distance (London) and others that are bad (TR2 platform, for example)

5 - Review the textures of all levels, there are places where the textures are still very bad (some of the Great Wall, for example)

I already feel like a broken record.

Fix all misaligned, misrotated, misplaced, unblended, and stretched textures. Add transitions.

[dragnipur]

a texture filtering option for classic graphics

it would be nice if modern control users still had tank controls on the D-Pad, could help them

remastered inventory backgrounds for all 3 but i'll be fine with just the classic ones back

classic graphics are missing effects at times. water lighting effects are borked in TR2. the smoke effect trailing from guns in TR3 is missing too. TR1 seems to have bugged shadows in the Damocles room. i know the remastered graphics are probably the bigger priority for them, but i hope the classic ones aren't overlooked

i'd like a choice between PC or PSX water color too but that's more for mods than something that needs patching :P

I'm hoping the game gets updates / fixes. If not, then I guess some clever fans will no doubt fix the game themselves.

Level select and outfit select outside of photo mode, just because nobody else said it yet

Also make it look less like you know what, we've said it already in other threads but let's keep this one decent. Her in-game model is perfect otherwise.
