Not looking forward to fighting that tiger in HD
Tomb Raiderhas been around for just over 20 years and despite all our great memories of the original trilogy, they haven’t exactly held up visually. However, a small group of independent developers has taken on the task of remastering a classicTomb Raidertitle.
Chief developer Nicobass has been leading a small development team in remasteringTomb Raider IIfor several years. Check out the video below to see the game’s Great Wall of China level redone in Unreal Engine 4.
The amount of work put into this is pretty mind-blowing. Some of the lighting effects in that cave sequence look particularly beautiful. After a few minutes of watching it’s clear that underneath that new coat of paint is the originalTomb Raider IIgameplay, clunky controls and all.
You can even play a demo for the project, titledTomb Raider: The Dagger of Xianright now. Those worried about the team be slapped with a cease and desist, don’t worry too much.PC Gameractually reported that Crystal Dynamics, the company that holds theTomb Raiderlicense, is cool with this demo. Which is fortunate for the devs who slaved over it for years.
