I don't know if anybody interested in this game still needs to know but since this was a question, the game is crossbuy on PS5 as well as PS4. I pre-ordered the PS5 version but also have access to it for PS4.
Played an hour or so of TR3. Wasn’t sure which to start with, but I’m unlikely to play them all, frankly - at least not back to back - and 3 is the only one I have not beaten so thought I had better start with that. Hopefully this time I’ll stick with it and put it to bed.
I am really liking what I have played so far. Takes me back, for sure. Really enjoy the classic controls.
Digital Foundry seemed to be pretty impressed with it
My brother bought it and shared his screen with me. I watched him play it for a bit and liked what I saw. If I didn't have Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth to play then I'd probably buy it.
Great to see the screenshots and all the activity, the launch seems to have really gone down well which is great considering the marketing for it seemed quite minimal.
Going to pick this up on friday how's the modern controls I hear they can be a bit awkward in tight spaces.
I started with TR1 and modern controls, the first part of the game is fine then when you get to the short ledges the controls will drive you mad for a while, persevere and after a while it clicks and it becomes much easier, it took me a while to learn to press jump and R2 to grab ledges especially in water (i never looked at the controls) but again it becomes second nature after a while.
I found saving at every point i was miss jumping and dropping off a ledge a huge plus meaning i could simply go into load game and go back to the same spot and try again.
@Max_Headroom Yes, it's really irritating. Some useful control hints on YouTube at
Hopefully Aspyr will add a backup function that can be mapped to one of the spare controller buttons.
I’m close to the end of the second level in TR3. Really, this game is so much harder than the first 2. I’d be half way through TR1 by now. TR3 is loaded with cheap deaths. Still, enjoying it a lot, but it may wear thin!
I haven't even tried the modern controls. The very notion of playing these games with Keeley-esque inputs breaks my brain. These are slow, methodical, precise platformers, which makes tank controls perfect for traversing their step-by-step, block-by-block, grid-by-grid environments. I'm halfway through Greece in TR1 and some of its secrets would be impossible to obtain with an analogue stick.
@Max_Headroom lol press up and down from the main menu (as I recall!)
I may have blocked the option by starting TR1 all of the boxes now say "Continue" and take me back to my saved place.
If you close and restart the game, you'll be back at the initial TR1 menu ring, with Lara's passport, sunglasses, a polaroid of Croft Manor, headphones, etc. and you should see the box art for TR2 in the bottom-right corner of the screen, with a down arrow prompt.
If you're already "in" the passport and looking at your saves, just press Circle until you back out of it and can see that TR2 box art in the bottom-right.
It's the same layout / structure as Lara's in-game touchpad inventory.
