Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is out today across all the major platforms, on Valentine's Day.
The Three Games
You get Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation (1999), Tomb Raider: Chronicles (2000) and Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness (2003), each with reworked visuals covering the environments, character models and artifacts. You can flip between the original graphics and the remastered ones on the fly.
Gameplay Changes
There's a new modern control scheme inspired by the later Tomb Raider games, with smoother movement and camera handling, or you can stick with the classic "tank-style" controls. On top of that there are boss health bars, a Photo Mode, and new achievements and trophies.

- Andy Sandham and Richard Morton on Lara's characterization in TRIV & V
- Murti Schofield on writing The Angel of Darkness
- Richard Morton on the design of The Angel of Darkness
- Restoring cut content from The Angel of Darkness
They cover how Lara's character shifted across this era and go into behind-the-scenes detail on how the games came together, particularly the ambitious but troubled development of The Angel of Darkness.
