man, I know people hate painted ledges for climbing marker, but looking at that video, I just feel like it's gonna be very frustrating to play without those indicator of which edges are climbable. I saw the video and I don't know where I'm supposed to go

Looks very beautiful. Amazing job they've done. Looks like a really fun project.
It's really satisfying seeing something you loved as a kid upgraded graphically up to today's standards.
That's what I thought when I replayed TR3 some years ago. They're incredibly challenging games.

Same here, I have severe amounts of love for the first 4 games and particularly TR1. Love the methodical movement.
PS: This looks like a ton of work and effort, hats off to this person.

Animations are from the anniversary/Legend games. (And are great
)EDIT: Actually, some of the animations seem to be from Underworld, looking at other videos.

If CD is okay with this project, this means we never going to see Anniversary II
That's the negative point of view.
The positive one is that you are looking at Anniversary II right now.

Developer has posted a video showing the final version of the beginning of the first level (Great Wall of China).
Damn... DAMN this looks so fucking good!! Amazing how one person can achieve graphic and mechanic parity like this with UE4. He's using placeholder Anniversary sound effects for now, but I can't wait to see Venice and beyond!

Yeah, also, the developers themselves have officially acknowledged and promoted this fan project's existence by including it in the 20th Anniversary book made by Meagan Marie.

HOLY SHIT
Those environment looks like Uncharted 4 at times, seriously I am not exaggerating.
Wish the water splash effect was better though.

The first 5 seconds of that video had me more interested in Tomb Raider than all the post 2013 games combined.
Nah, this is LAU-inspired gameplay which isn't much better than the reboot gameplay TBH. (It still looks impressive, of course, the gameplay just won't be my cup of tea.)

That looks amazing. Tomb Raider II was the first Tomb Raider I completed back in 1997. I remember getting it & finishing it at Christmas. Brilliant game. I concur with the others, the new Tomb Raider doesn't feel like Tomb Raider to me, Lara isn't the same Lara I grew up with either. It's more like Uncharted with a female Nathan Drake. I love Uncharted games, but we don't need Tomb Raider copying, Tomb Raider once lead the way.

This is one of those things that would be great, but I doubt will ever be finished, because it is a huge undertaking. I also hope he doesn't translate the game too literally. One of Anniversary's strengths was that it expanded the levels. While TRII has some fantastic level design, it also has a few stinkers. Venice drags, for example.
edit: is this using Anniversary assets? Some of the sound effect sound just like it, and hell even the animations looked ripped from that game.
edit2: no tigers tho
