Angel of Darkess!!

I am so happy to see that AOD is gonna be remastered too! To me personally, Lara in AOD is the best version out there.

Sadly we'll never get the trilogy that was planned, but I am more than happy to replay it in the remastered format.

Now I wonder if Reborninshadow and/or Nakamichi680 joined this project to include their wonderful fixes for the remaster.

Even if they did improve this and even added deleted things, I'm guessing that AOD would simply be "okay", and not something greater than that.

the same might happen again in the end

I'm happy for the fans of AOD though, since they'd not be as fussy about the enhancements.

I have a question: how they will remaster game that was basically unfinished ?
Some kind of re-development ? Any news from devs ?

That's a good question. I was wondering the same a few weeks ago, when it was announced the remaster for TR4, TR5 and TR6 (and I could not restrain myself from pre-purchasing the whole package just like I did a year ago for 1-2-3)...
My personal guess is that they most likely simply remaster AoD as it was, with new models and textures... But of course mine is just an educated guess. So let's hope they actually shall release all those things that at the time have been left unfinished... Personally I am interested in understanding if TR SCU will work as well as it does with the 'original' version of AoD. Did not find any info on the internet, though. Did not find any info at all about AoD Remaster, for that matter. Hence my 'educated guess' earlier.
Cheers,

Unfinished doesn't mean they don't have the story and ideas done, they just didn't have time to finished it, they have the engine and assets so it is not that difficult to finish.

If this would be easy the OG team would do it right the first time and now you have different team more than 20 years later looking at ancient code of broken and unfinished game, game that killed company that made it, so I don't think it is easy...

Aspyr did ok with TR remasters but Aspyr is not a Nightdive.
Hopefully it will be better than original TR6.

In the team there are people who had already solved many things over the years with amateur patches.

These people couldn't work on the original code at the time (which would have made things much easier for them), I don't expect them to do miracles (the plot with its holes will probably remain unchanged, unless among the material they were able to work with there are ready-made deleted scenes and delete dialogue), but fix most of the bugs and restore some things which at the time were not included due to lack of time (for example the double pistols) does not seem to me to be something so impossible.

It must be considered that they have been working on it for over a year (and probably even before the first remaster was announced).

Furthermore, people have a slightly distorted perception of Angel of Darkness because the PC version (especially the American one) gave countless problems but the PlayStation version was not so unstable (despite its bugs and problems).

In short, it seems to me that the myth of "Angel of Darkness completely broken and unplayable" has become a bit exaggerated over the years (perhaps also due to people who have never played it or have played its worst version).

Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation is my fav tr game ever created, but yea its a blessing that AOD is being remade, i have the Original discs and booklet and it was pain just to get the game running, etc. I do have it install right with one of those mods that actually fixes the game, but the remastered is great that its coming.

Even if they don't include the community made mods into the AOD remasters I won't be angry because I know the modders will port those to the remaster eventually. AOD is such a jewel.

AoD gets far too much crap from people. I understand it was released in a non finished state. Or that they did not get to release it in the way they wanted to. But the actual game play once you look past all the hang ups is ok. Once you get past the RPG story choice bit that stops all of a sudden, the game starts looking like the old TR's.

I think AoD out of all of them had teh best music score. The grand orchestra is sublime. I sometimes put it on my USB speaker on bike rides.

I loved Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness. The game was included on a computer picture games CD. Which we had in Germany. I thought it was absolutely cool. Found Angel of Darkness here on Steam, but after looking at the system requirements I decided not to buy it. It's unplayable.
