TR1 - low quality sound effects.

[DjangoBingBango]

TR1's sound effects on the old PC ports were notably less muffled than the PS1 versions. Seems the new port takes them from PS1. :(

Hopefully gets patched.

The sound effects are not changed. Only the graphics and partially controls.

Yes, old sound effects are not touched, but they added new ones

The point is that the original DOS/ATI PC versions of Tomb Raider 1 had higher quality versions of the original sound effects, and they did not bring them over to this one, instead porting the lower quality PS1 version.

So it's not about changing the sound effects, it's about not using the high quality original PC versions rather than PS1.

I see. Is that why she doesn't say anything when she picks up items in TR1? I seem to recall she said "aha" or something, like in TR2.

I don't think she said anything in TR1, I'll have to check soon.

I have checked on the other release on steam, she did indeed not say anything at pickups.

But the sounds of her colliding into terrain while running or jumping are gone, the gasping sound when surfacing is gone, the shimmying sound is wrong and the underwater "bubble" sound seems like part of the underwater sound loop rather than synchronized with the bubbles emitted from Lara
