Bob Smolders is more upbeat. "It's really one of the main things the game needed because the controls were quite slow and unresponsive," he says. This was a particular sore point for Smolders because he's been working on an HD graphics patch for the past year and a half and Lara's sluggishness slows him down as he scouts for details to improve.

Smolders runs the game through a tool called TexMod, which enables him to grab the texture files he wants to work on. He picks the ones he thinks "really stand out in their blurriness." He then sorts these into folders so he knows where they came from (which is kind of crucial in putting them back in) and scales them up in Photoshop.
