Tomb Raider I-III Remastered

The inmates take over the asylum for a largely fan-developed restoration and HD-ification of the first three entries in Lara Croft's illustrious career in exploring ancient catacombs and straining shirts.

Dev Mode#

Starting the game with the -dev command line argument enables some debug keys during gameplay.

Easter Eggs#

To do: Keep an eye out for additional effects.

Holding down the Look and Walk keys (L1 and R1 on a PlayStation controller by default) during loading screens will enable some visual changes in Modern Graphics mode. These changes will revert upon changing map or triggering an in-engine cutscene, but holding the buttons when these trigger will also activate them.

Lara's Glasses#

In almost all areas, with some exceptions like TR1 Croft Manor, Lara will wear her circular sunglasses. These were at one point intended to appear in the original game, but were ultimately relegated to promotional art.

T-Rex Love#

The large stairwell painting in TR1 Croft Manor will also change to the "Raid Not Kill" achievement icon.

Not Ingrams#

Amusingly, if you edit the STRINGS.TXT for any of the games to change the UZIS string to "Ingram" or "Ingrams", the game will pointedly re-rename them to "Not Ingrams"! This is apparently a nod/take-that to a poster on the fan-run Tomb Raider Forums who had some fairly intense opinions on proper firearm nomenclature.

Hidden Artwork#

To do: Rehost the images

In Version 1.0 of the collection, the file 3\CUTS\CUT10.TRG is actually a password-protected 7zip file! By using the password #13NOT!HER (found under Sophia's desk in TR3's Modern Graphics mode), the file can be opened up, revealing a collection of renders of the remastered Lara model recreating key art poses from the original games' promotional art.

The file was removed in the first patch.
