/vr/ - Retro Games

On a real PS1 / Dreamcast, with a nice CRT. Everything else is a lesser experience in comparison.

I swear this question was just asked not that long ago.

>>6628240
GOG or Steam both works fine.

>>6628305
Doesn't the pc version have audio issues?

>>6628375
it has no music for some reason

>>6628375
I never had issues.

>Buy PS Mini
>Hack it
>Establish connection to it
>Remove ALL internal games from it
>Add all Tomb Raider games to it with covers and all
>Replace internal emulator with newer one
>Put big titty Lara sticker from 1996 on the lid
>Dedicated shitty experience!~

>>6628279
Yeah, the Dreamcast version is definitely the best.

TR2 and TR4 are in here, patched to run on Win10 and widescreen fixes applied:

Because Larafag keeps spamming the board with shit TR threads.

remember when some devs tried to remaster TR 1 - 3 but the dumbasses didnt ask Squeenix so it got canned

>>6628240
i replayed Tr I and II on a fucking phone, so it doesnt really matter, on a phone i also got the dlc to Tr I, which i had no fucking clue ever was a thing

>>6628240
Next time, use a fucking archive. Aragorn Jesus poster is pretty much a main-stay of TR threads at this point.

What happends was a French fan toying around with Unreal engine, trying to make it work with unrelated project. Eventually he decided that hey, let's do for kicks The Great Wall from TR2. And over time it gained enough traction to turn into a full-fledged remake of the entire level...
... to which Squenix send their legal team with cease and desist, basically telling the guy that if he continues doing just about anything more, they are going to sue his ass for copyright infringement.
THEN they released the "20th anniversary" Tomb Raider game, which was a shitty remaster for Rise, rather than actual, Core-era games of any kind, because they don't give a flying fuck, but in the same time are Squenix, the company that literally exists to sit on a vast library of copyrights and simply have them.
So the guy finished his demo and that's how the story wraps.

tl;dr get your facts together.

Truly a fate worse than death.

You should go for PC so you can play the expansions

>>6628240
PS1 has a lot of little things that differentiate it like more varied music I believe, different colored water, and darker lighting, although the PC has its advantages too, such as saving anywhere, higher framerate, geometry that doesn't constantly warp whenever you move the camera, and an expansion pack (although you don't need Tomb Raider to play it).

>>6628279
Only if you're a console-loving faggot autist. There are several game-killing experiences playing the originals on console.

I recommend he do what he prefers or is most convenient.

>>6629904
Is that legit or is that just some made-up fan theory? I remember him saying he never intended to make a full-fledged game, and he was just making this to experiment with the Unreal Engine and give a glimpse into what could be done with it for a real Tomb Raider remake.

>>6628240
I emulate it on PS1 mini because it's easier. But for you, I suggest pirating it on a PC. Don't spend money on Steam because Gaybe Newell is way too fat and needs liposuction.

>>6631148
That can only be argued for TR3.

the facts are together, I think you were thinking of something else entirely

>>6631493
If he wants the best possible experience, it would have to be on PC. Higher framerates, better sound quality, less input lag, and no texture warping.

Only reason he would play it on PS1 is to revisit his nostalgia for it, which if he's playing it for the first time, then he has none, so there's virtually no reason for him to play it on console.

>>6628240
The PC version.

>>6628240
The PC version with modernisation patches is always the best option. For TR1 in particular you can use the automated patch, which introduces all the PS1 music and replaces the FMVs, though I'd recommend you pick the PS1 FMVs over the AI upscaled ones because the latter is just a mess of blur.

This.
