Ya I agree Anarki When I first played it on ps1 I had trouble navigating dude to the graphical technology at the time. Sometimes I couldn't tell a glitchy wall from a hidden one.

all those games were already in HD at least on the 360. so, this will be more like a port collection than a HD collection, right? I'm interested but how much will it cost? also 40 quid? if yes, then count me in!

DigitalAnalog5635d ago

I hope this isn't the same case scenario here? And why does Underworld need a "Makeover"? Wasn't that game released for the PS3 and 360 back then (ironically it was sub-HD)!

The 360 version of underworld got some exclusive dlc, i hope this gets released to ps3 either on the disc or on the store. several of these collections coming next year and i want even more like a final fantasy, resident evil, devil may cry!

lol no one played those games the first time around, why would anyone play them this time?

TheDeadMetalhead5635d ago

I was kind of hoping they were talking about Tomb Raider 1-3...

Oh well, this will still be good. I never did pick up any of the Tomb Raider games on 360.

showtimefolks5635d ago

first question why are these 3rd party games exclusive to ps3 oh because MS want money for each disk lol(just kidding i think that's the case more disks more cost for devs/publishers....but they could port these to XB live who knows)

mgs 1(if possible)2 and 3
gta 3,vc and a pc port of SA because it didn't have those stupid PLANE missions
jak series
mgs:PW on psn come on kojima in hd with a ps3 controller awsome
hitman series

also don't you all think it would be nice to have some other games on psn/xbox live in hd the games which were not 2s and 3s.

punisher
bully(know its on xbox360 but psn please or include it with gta collection)

and the other just getting ported to the PS3 either way It's good for those that havent tried out the recent ones, as for me, I'm really interested in the Reboot. It looks downright jaw dropping!

NewZealander5635d ago

i would have liked some of the ps2 games in HD though, all of these were released on current consoles and i own legend and anniversary so its not really worth me picking it up, even though im a huge fan.

im getting the PoP collection though, ive played the first one but not the other two, i have to admit i love the collections that are coming out, i never even played GoW until they released teh collection on PS3, great fun!

Elven65635d ago

Technically the only one that was on the PS2 that isn't included here is Angel of Darkness. The PC version is better anyway, the PS2 port is a buggy mess. The concept behind it was great though but it needed more development time.

They also made an interactive DVD of Angel of Darkness so I guess you could pick that up instead and play it on your PS3. :P

Legends and Anniversary were on the PS2 but they had HD console versions on the 360 so a majority of the work has already been done here.

morganfell5635d ago

Every attempt in the world to fix the controls on the PC version - which I still have - was to no avail. Third party mapping programs, tweak after tweak, a great game damned by controls.

If this version redeems the controls then it is well worth it. And like any such title it is only served justice with a controller, not a KB/M. Day one purchase for me. And the term classic does apply for some as what designates a game such is an individual remembrance - not some board of judges.

Legend and Anniversary were never released on PS3. I'm guessing "HD remake" means "port of 360 versions" rather than upscaling the PS2 versions.

Andronix5635d ago (Edited 5635d ago )

That's most likely correct.
Tomb Raider Anniversary on Xbox 360 was a 'reimagining' of the first game. Much of is the same, eg the iconic T-Rex moment, but with little extra flourishes.

Three games for the price of one. I'm happy to give these a try in preparation for the new Tomb Raider.

Agree 3 Disagree 0

Elven65635d ago

The 360 version of Legends and I think maybe Anniversary were just HD upscales of the last generation ones with some added effects. Underworld is the only true next gen Tomb Raider since it was running on a new engine built for the newer hardware.

I only played the first game, way back on my Sega Saturn - Never a big fan to be honest, and the UNCHARTED series has pretty much provided my fill of 'maverick explorer' gaming.
But, if the price is right I may have a dabble for old times' sake...

Orionsangel5635d ago (Edited 5635d ago )

I never owned an N64. So I didn't play Mario64 till years later. TR was the only third person exploration type game in existence for me at that time. So I was blown away.

sam22365635d ago (Edited 5635d ago )

I got all excited until I read this:

"It appears that the Blu-ray will include Tomb Raider Legend, Anniversary and Underworld"

They should just call it "Tomb Raider: The Shit Collection".

EDIT: @Disagrees: Explain please.

Anniversary, Legend and Underworld are considered the worst in the series along with The Last Revelation, Chronicles and Angel of Darkness.

This 'collection' would be 10x better if it had remakes of the first three Tomb Raiders, not two 360/PC 'HD' ports and a game that's already on the PS3.

Reply Agree 9 Disagree 18

PirateThom5635d ago

I completly agree, it's so pointless, if it was the first 4 games, it would be worth it, not these really lacklustre titles.

A better collection would be, for example, Deus Ex, Legacy of Kain or Thief...

palaeomerus5635d ago

I seriously disagree with you as to the quality of Anniversary, Legend, and Underworld. All three were pretty good and better than anythign excpet 1 and 2. 3 is where the series started to stink where it virtually forgot about tomb raiding and went to boat stunts and shoot-outs.

I do agree with the Legacy of Kain Collection idea. A collection of "HD remakes" of LoK including LoK2 and LoK would be pretty sweet.

Deus Ex only has two games unless you want to count Project: Snowblind as an unofficial side story. The 2nd Deus Ex fame isn't very good.

Thief....maybe. Only one was designed with consoles in mind and it was pretty much considered a huge drop in quality from the first 2.

xYokox5635d ago (Edited 5635d ago )

TRA is 'considered' to be a brilliant remake of the first one, the general consensus is that it succeeded in recreating the fantastic atmosphere of the original game whilst fixing all of the controls/camera issues, EG awarded it a 9.
http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

Legend revitalized the series after the abysmal mess that was AoD, got positive reception and the general consensus was that it succeeded in what was the most important thing at that moment - bringing the Core ruined franchise from the tomb.

Underworld was a rushed product, still got relatively positive reception, at least nowhere near the levels of the disasters you mentioned (*cough* 55 metacritic for AoD *cough*).

Served.

tigertron5635d ago

I agree, legends and anniversay are awesome games, I love legends especially because it made the TR franchise great again after the dismal AOD. Like I said before, Underworld was also great, but came out at the wrong time.

hoof1235635d ago

Served. haha nice.

Elven65635d ago

Angel of Darkness was rushed as well,

http://laracroft.wikia.com/...

The AOD team was also working on a PSP remake of the first game separate from what Crystal Dynamics was doing. A tech demo was leaked and it looked pretty good, better than Anniversary on the PSP for sure. Eidos canceled it and instead went with CD's concept.

Lets see how well Crystal is able to handle a series which Core was forced to rush out on multiple occasions on a yearly basis. Assuming nothing has changed since then at Eidos or Square now I guess. People like to crap on Core for what happened to Tomb Raider yet Core had some insane conditions to fill.

MysticStrummer5635d ago

Absolutely right, except for Last Revelation and Chronicles... I loved those. Last Revelation might be my favorite of the whole series. I loved all the Tomb Raiders until Angel of Darkness. The ones after that were improvements over AoD, but nowhere near as good as the originals. I'll pass on this collection.

Aloren5635d ago (Edited 5635d ago )

I agree with you, The Last Revelation is indeed one of the best in the series imo, but it released at a wrong time.Actually, i'd rank it second among the old ones, just behind TR1.

I'd rank them in that order:
Tr1/TLR/Tr3/chronicles/Tr2 for the old ones (never understood why 2 was so popular, too much action. Though I bet it's the favorite of a lot of uncharted fans).

and Underworld/anniversary/legends /Aod for the "new" ones. Though legends, anniversary, and underworld are all great, and are all far better than AOD.

swinesucker5635d ago (Edited 5635d ago )

What the fuck? Anniversary is one of the best in the series how could it fucking not be. Totally disagree. Never played Legend but Underworld has some fantastic puzzles with some mediocre combat and great graphics. 3 is where things got lame and even 2 had too much combat but Anniversary is basically one but a whole fuckton better. Anniversary is the best fucking game in the series bar none!

I don't understand the point of including Underworld which is already available on PS3.

I hope they actually spend time on these ports because not only does Lara deserve it, but so do the fans. Take note from Bioware Crystal Dynamics, and give us some good ports!

dkgshiz5635d ago

Its already known that they are using the brand new ME3 engine. So that pretty much means they built it from the ground up on the PS3. As all games should be. Ports can be either pretty good or flat out bad. Building games from the ground up is the way to do it.

Reply Agree 0 Disagree 1

tigertron5635d ago

You know what I mean. It would be great if TR Legends and Annivesary were more like Underworld in terms of visuals, and it would be even better if they added more content to those games just like Bioware have done with ME2 i.e. lots of DLC. I don't want those games being taken directly from the 360.

Bolts5635d ago

There is no "brand new ME3 engine", all the games including the PS3 ME 2 port uses the Unreal 3 engine. The only difference with the PS3's ME 2 port is the and added optimization for the PS3 thats it.

oh i don't know... wouldn't it be fantastic to get Uncharted 1 and 2 on one Blu-ray Disk about 3 months before Uncharted 3? not everyone has played these games. it would be a great way for them to be encouraged to jump on the Uncharted train (bargains are always good)

in fact, thinking about it, MM could easily put LBP1 on the same disk as LBP2. the engines are compatible and they could use LBP2s engine to run LBP1. i'm sure that would sell more copies

at below: yes, but you can't discount the bargain card... many may well have skipped them because of the price.
