Oh hey, they finally remastered games that would benefit from it.
It would be very interesting to see what the Angel of Darkness remaster will look like. Honestly that's one of few games I'd love to see get remade, Core had a lot of plans for the title that didn't make the cut due to rushed development.
I only ever played the rebooted series and loved it.
Is the remastered collection the best way to play the original games?
Honestly it is. The remaster is beautiful. But the games are very much tank controls at heart. So even though it might feel counter intuitive to use the old tank controls; it definitely is the best way to play these games.
I've tried the modern controls, and it becomes apparent really fast that these games were not made for it. It's clunky and unwieldy at best, and completely illogical and unresponsive at worst.
The tank controls take some getting used to, but if you play Lara's home you can get used to them in peace.
I'm curious about what they're going to do with Angel of Darkness. From what I understand (haven't actually played it) that game was a buggy mess on PS2. The remaster might be a chance to bring it closer to the original intent.
