It seems that the left media don't want more tomb raiders as they get offended.

As much as I would love a TR4 remaster I kinda agree with the article., Chronicles and AOD were very poorly received and have not the same pull like the first triology.

TR4 was amazing and it need a remaster.

The article never states that, nor does it even make the implication. You're either trolling or you didn't read past the headline.

As much as I'd like updated versions of The Last Revelation and (my guilty pleasure) Chronicles that support controllers and don't require community patches to make compatible with current OS, I agree that continuing the remasters of the CORE Design games will be problematic for all the reasons given in the article. A TLR+Times Exclusive+Chronicles pack could work, since these three games all basically shared the same evolution of the TR game engine. Angel of Darkness though has more in common with the LAU trilogy than it does TR 1-4, and IMO wouldn't even be considered for the Remasters if it didn't address the question of Lara's fate at the end of TLR. It would be better to just leave original Angel of Darkness on Steam/GoG and let the AoD Definitive Edition mod deliver the HD and level fixes.

Even if limiting consideration to just TR4 and TR5, Chronicles introduced several continuity errors into the Tomb Raider timeline. TR4 was arguably the last of the true Tomb Raider games while Chronicles was little more than a glorified expansion pack of disjointed levels and non sequitur ideas.

Of course they don't mention it, but older tomb raider offend modern media, they almost managed to censor this game.

I didn't really like TR4, but I would really like to have a TR5 remaster alone.

I would also enjoy a TR6 remaster, but as that game uses a completely different game engine, remastering that game would be a more intensive project.
So I am uncertain if the Aspyr team could do this.

TR4 and TR5 Remaster would make sense, because it's the same engine and gameplay as 1 till 3.
TR6 is too different.

But I agree that TR4 was a very strange and disappointing game back then.
Regarding TR5 I'm not sure, because I don't even remember if I played it.

Maybe the 2 Remaster might come if TR1 - 3 Remaster sell well.
I would give them a 2nd chance...

Cheers!

i would not wait for that since it wont happen any time soon

[Shuvartolöw]

I absolutely love TR4, TR5 A little less but still a fun game. Would buy multiple copies if it becomes a thing !

[Scally]

4: as soon as possible
5: whenever
6: never

Who cares about what lefties think?

[Boody]

Besides tr4 and 5 are not running properly on modern os without dgvoodoo. We definitely needs a remasters

Tomb Raider AOD can't be remastered because it's broken from the very foundation. TR4 and TR5 probably would be no problem and I would apreciate the fixes and improvements they could give.

That's the main reason why AOD must be remaster... The game was broken and it can be fixed, mods already fixed most of the issues

Remastering AOD would cost too much and only die hard fans would buy it.

AoD Redux perhaps. The graphics in the existing game wouldn't benefit much from a Tomb Raider I-III style of remaster. The changes would have to be much deeper into the code, which I think would quickly become controversial within the fan base. As I said, that's best left to the modders. The AoD Definitive Edition is actually very good and it's worth checking out. I haven't tried the AoD Restoration Project, but I know there is a lot of commonality between the two mods.
