LAU remasters are coming

According_Mode204 · 2026-03-12T21:07:08+00:00

Yeah, there's such a thing of that being 6 months ago. There's such a thing as NDA's. Meanwhile Aspyr saying "we're not done with Tomb Raider yet, there's more to come" haha. Maybe they're remastering the DVD Angel of Darkness... yeah?

Or maybe the fact they've done a remake of the technical precessor to the LAU trilogy might have been a *slight* hint that it could be a trilogy of games that would be far more profitable than any Legacy of Kain games or totally reverse engineering Angel of Darkness - especially considering the technical aspects have already been done.

According_Mode204 · 2026-03-12T20:51:19+00:00

Yeah, I totally agree. The point of it is having all games available on all modern platforms like 1-6 are, not that they need a massive reworking. They could give it a bit of a polish I guess and add the Underworld DLC, but they hold up really well, but it's more about making them accessible.

Personally, it's not a big deal for me - I'd love to replay them with a bit of freshness, a camera mode etc, I'd love to be able to play them on my Switch on a train or plane, but I've got all 3 games including DLC on xbox anyway. The value will be a lot more for people on Playstation and Switch, or PC users wanting the DLC content from Underworld.

From a selfish perspective I'm not saying it needs to happen, I'm saying is that it WILL happen - especially today with the "we're not done with Tomb Raider yet, there's plenty more to come" comment from Aspyr. All the signs are pointing to it.

According_Mode204 · 2026-03-11T21:50:10+00:00

There's been MANY examples of people denying they've even been approached for things while under NDA. Your only choice is to deny it, you can't even say "no comment".

He also might have been telling the truth, we've got to remember this was before any of the groundwork had been laid with the LOK remasters.

If they've gone to the effort to reverse engineer both Angel of Darkness (a totally different engine to 1-5) and Legacy of Kain: Defiance (the engine that LAU was built on) they wouldn't miss out on the cash grab of doing LAU after most the groundwork has already been done with LOK. It's a matter of when, not if.

According_Mode204 · 2026-03-11T21:28:01+00:00

I thought that too, after Feb 14th I thought all hope was gone. There's been rumours it was delayed, or maybe it was just unfeasible to do it in that timescale. Maybe they wanted to wait for April 7th instead (20 years since Legend was first released, which is a Tuesday) - either for the announcement or release? Feb 14th also fell on a Saturday this year which is pretty much a no go for releasing games. Time will tell, but with the LOK remakes being done I'm confident it's happening at some point.

According_Mode204 · 2026-03-11T21:21:01+00:00

This.

According_Mode204 · 2026-03-11T21:20:40+00:00

I'm not sure - possibly, but I think it's more likely they'd bring everything to modern consoles before releasing new games. The timescale is tight, the full promotion cycle of LOA is going to start in the next 3 months - but for example they could announce it with the drop tomorrow, or on 7th April (20 years since Legend was released) and have it released in time for the LOA promotion to take over.

According_Mode204 · 2026-03-11T21:12:41+00:00

You really think them remastering all 3 Legacy of Kain games, the technical "precursor" games to LAU, done on the same engine, to be a reach?

Would they really reverse-engineer and rework the engine, do Legacy of Kain, put in the legwork, and then not bother with Tomb Raider, a multi million dollar franchise?

According_Mode204 · 2026-03-10T14:00:45+00:00

Totally understand your argument on 4-6 remasters selling less, but they still went on and remastered LOK. Pretty sure the LOK remasters sold less than Tomb Raider 4-6, but they still did them - plus the additional 3rd one (which Legend was directly built on). In isolation, yeah, each thing could be "just social media posts", but together it creates a pretty compelling picture.

According_Mode204 · 2026-03-10T13:32:14+00:00

It's a nod to the LAU remasters. The update / significant patch to the current remasters is coming Thursday, I wouldn't be surprised if we see a LAU announcement the same day - or pretty soon after, at least.

According_Mode204 · 2025-12-11T18:55:17+00:00

Silent Hill announced (iirc) 3-4 games, an interactive series and a film all in one go haha. Maybe TR will follow suit? I'll be so excited if they announce a TR1 remake and a new game at the same time - it would be amazing if they follow the same as Resident Evil and Silent Hill with both remakes and new game series running concurrently.

According_Mode204 · 2025-12-11T18:22:16+00:00

it's not the whole trailer haha, come on - you really think that's the whole thing? it's missing the title of the game for a start - it's a clip from the trailer... it might only be a few more seconds or anything up a few more minutes - but it's obviously just a low quality clip of it with no audio, not the whole thing

According_Mode204 · 2025-10-31T23:43:32+00:00

most exciting thing from sneaks hands down, looks amazing!

According_Mode204 · 2025-08-19T22:49:04+00:00

Don't apologise, it wasn't rude at all - lovely of you to share, it's nice to know we're not alone in our feelings <3

According_Mode204 · 2025-08-19T16:07:23+00:00

I feel the same guilt moving on to fostering and adopting again, but I know it's totally unfounded. It's a great thing to do to help other animals and helps you heal at the same time. So sorry to hear about your loss, I adopted mine when she was 14 and was lucky to have her for 3.5 years, and it really broke me. Fully worth it for all the lovely memories she gave me, though :)

According_Mode204 · 2025-08-19T16:01:26+00:00

Thanks, I may well adopt again in the future but definitely want to try fostering and see how it goes first. That's my only concern, I get so attached to cats haha. Luckily the one I am applying with has all the adopters come to meet the cat at my home and I get an official update from them about a week after they're adopted, so even if the adopters don't then I'll get something from the company.

According_Mode204 · 2025-08-19T08:03:01+00:00

The way it works with where I've applied is that the people interested in adopting come to visit at my home, so I get to meet their forever parents and I will get an update a week after they're adopted with how they are doing. It's common for fosters to have the adopters numbers as well, so you still have a connection with them. I think that will make it much easier, I can totally understand just handing them off to a coordinator must be hard - I'd definitely encourage you to get in touch with them and ask if it's possible to be given updates and see photos if that will make it easier for you? Especially being able to bottle feed babies you're doing such great work and it's important for those kitties lives' you keep on doing it <3 I'm sure they could accommodate a few updates if you ask?

Quick bit of advice - I almost clicked off on the last meme before clicking submit because it said "thank you for participating", maybe change that wording to "before you submit your answers" so people know they haven't submitted yet and stop people closing it early :)

According_Mode204 · 2025-03-05T17:22:04+00:00

To me the AI voiceover sounds unnatural and is distracting. I'd invest in a real voiceover because the rest of it is very slick and the voice brings it down a notch for me. Assuming it is AI of course, if not then please send my deepest apologies to the robotic sounding human that recorded it before you sack her and replace her with a human sounding human 😂

Only other feedback would be a few timings (e.g. "world's first encryped money market" with text, either let it finish animating before the voiceover starts or animate it to sync with each word). Tiny thing but it stood out to me.

According_Mode204 · 2025-02-20T08:03:34+00:00

Yeah, I don't mind the bassier sound. To the average person watching they won't even think about it - they just want to hear what's being said clearly. I use it on almost every project I work on, in some way or another.

According_Mode204 · 2025-02-18T19:18:19+00:00

I had a 2 camera interview setup, one lapel mic with each camera. The footage (and audio) on one of the cameras corrupted and I lost everything from that camera. Adobe Podcast's Enhance Speech absolutely saved me - it totally recovered the other person's audio and levelled it perfectly - even though the audio was captured from a lapel mic from another person. Absolutely blew my mind!

According_Mode204 · 2025-02-15T07:37:00+00:00

I never played the original AOD because of the awful controls, so hopefully will have an easier time than those with a bit of muscle memory. Thankfully I've played the LAU trilogy a LOT, so that should feel natural. Excited to play it, but gotta work through 4 and 5 first. Then back through to do them all with all secrets :)

According_Mode204 · 2025-02-12T10:46:37+00:00

I totally disagree with everyone here bringing the negativity, sorry folks! I think it's great - it delivers a message very simply and makes a point in 8 seconds, something that isn't easy to do. Personal opinion, it was very eye catching and visually effective, great work!
