Happy birthday, Lara!

It's her day! Congratulations to our adventurer Lara Croft, who's celebrating her birthday and a very special release today!

We can finally reveal that we have been playing the Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered games a bit early and we're having an absolute blast. Although we haven't had much time with it, here is a screenshot taken using the game's photo mode to celebrate.

Below you can also see a small comparison between the original and remastered young Lara model from Tomb Raider IV: The Last Revelation.

Our deepest thanks to Crystal Dynamics, as well as Aspyr, for providing us with an early copy of the new remasters.

Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is now available on Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4/5, and Xbox One/Series X|S.

when do you think the parts in the snowdin chapter will get remastered?

Don't expect them any time soon. I'm not in the right headspace for it.

Remember, the purpose of a remaster is not better graphics, or new controls, or rounder tits, or to add content warnings if parts of your game haven't aged well. The purpose of a remaster is to make old games available for people to play out of the box, and for a lotta games that's not as simple as running an emulator.

Fan-made source ports are better, but remasters are the next best thing.

After so many years, the coin has finally land on its edge!!!

Remakes of games should actually be remakes. Not this copy and paste in 4k. I’m talkin about how remakes should actually take the game and add to it. Put the stuff in that the original devs had to cut. Demon souls remake is good but that’s only cause the original game is good. They could’ve added the sixth world but didn’t. If they remake dark souls they should revamp the second half. Actually do the stuff that the devs originally wanted. Especially with Wind Waker give me the cut islands. If I wanted to play the original game I’d either emulate it on game cube or play it on my old Wii U. Like come on be better

It's been almost an entire year and I still get a little upset whenever I think about Tales of Symphonia "Remastered". What a waste of time and hype, honestly.

Compare to Metroid Prime Remaster which came out around the same time. While not really a remaster in the truest sense of the word, at least it has the decency to look amazing, play better than the original release, and have every type of control scheme going.

Then back to ToSR with its five-second loading screens between each encounter. In an 80+ hour JRPG. And let's not bring up the AI-upscaled graphical "Improvements". Or the 30fps-locked framerate, when Gamecube ran seamlessly at 60.

What I'm saying is emulate Tales of Symphonia for the Gamecube and play it if you haven't yet done so. Save yourself 40+ quid and experience the game as it's meant to be experienced.

Sincerely, an old person whose first JRPG was Tales of Symphonia.

Curtas Lodais | Remasters da Wiki

Mais um post nessa semana, eba!!! Tá certo que é mais um dos curtinhos, mas não dá para querer jogar as migalhas todas fora não, tá? Kkkkkk. Brincadeiras à parte, vamos ao que mais interessa o povo: os logos!

Estava eu, recentemente, revisitando um site da Lodo que há muito tempo não recordava, a nossa Wiki no Fandom. Pois é, já estivemos por lá também, somos quase onipresentes, kkkkkk! Mas o foco não é esse, volta. O que acabei encontrando por lá foi o que me chamou a atenção... trabalhos de 2017, bem "surradinhos", coitados, esperando para receberem algum tipo de carinho, quem sabe até uma remasterização, não é?!

Bom, não pensei duas vezes e já arregacei as mangas para dar uma nova vida àqueles pobres logotipos cansados. Pus a mão na massa e esses aí foram os resultados, espero que gostem! :D
