TLR had way too many puzzles but still enjoyed it.

• Toggleable Visuals - Players will be able to swap between the old and new graphical style at any time. It is unknown if this is a menu option or if it'll be a live toggle such as that seen in Halo Anniversary.
  
• Original Source Code - The games use the original source code and engine, ensuring that it feels exactly as if you were playing the original games.
  
• Modern Control Option - The Modern Control option is inspired by the Legend, Anniversary, and Underworld era of Tomb Raider. These changes are felt mostly in the way Lara moves – the right stick has full camera control and Lara moves directionally based on camera position.
  
• QoL Options - Whether you choose the Classic or Modern control scheme, there are also other QoL options which include the following: Walk to Action, Action Indicators, Vibration, Dead Zone, Sensitivity, and Horizontal/Vertical Inversion.
  
• Boss Health Bars - In the original games, you never knew how close a boss was to dying, which could make it tough to know whether it would be a waste or not to use one of your weapons that have limited ammunition. The remasters will feature a health bar for all boss fights, and whether this is optional was not disclosed.
  
• 3D Items Replace Sprites - While the inventory menu used full 3D models for all pickups and collectibles, their in-game versions were all 2D sprites. These have all been changed to 3D models for better consistency.
  
• Over 200 Trophies - With three games, there's a lot of potential for trophies/achievements, and so there will be a total of more than 200 available. Yes, one of them does involve locking the butler in the freezer.
  
• Photo Mode - The environments of the original Tomb Raider trilogy were full of incredible vistas and scenic views packed with edge of your seat platforming and thrilling action. You can now capture any of this in all new ways with the new Photo Mode, which allows you to pose Lara, choose her outfit, freeze gameplay, toggle between classic and modern graphics, and showcase these environments.
  
• Baked and real-time lighting effects – These changes add to the immersion and mood of the environment.
  
• New model for Lara Croft – Her original outfits are stunning. Her silhouette—iconic. Need I say more?

Ha, you think they are gonna do anything to fix that game? That's cute. Yeah, no, that's exactly what Bioware promised with the Mass Effect Legendary Edition: they'd redo Pinnacle Station (even though they LOST THE SOURCE CODE). And you know what they did? FUCK ALL, THAT'S WHAT! Legendary Edition is still Pinnacle-less, and I'm still pissed at the former friend for trying to argue with me that they were going to actually do it! The only thing I wish I could do is rub it in his face one last time, the self-righteous fuck!

...What were we talking about again? Right, AoD. Yeah, I'd be shocked if they actually did pick up the fan patch for the game, but it technically wouldn't be the first time. That honor would go to Ubisoft for stealing the pirated No-CD crack for their own game. No, this will never not be funny.

The reason I call it "stealing" is because they didn't even TRY to hide it. If you read the article, people found out by checking the code and finding the ASCII tag made by the developer of the crack. They didn't even edit that out; they just slapped their game with it, said "we fixed it", and released it on digital storefronts as-is! It's actually impressive how terrible they were at their own job.
