I don't think leaving things to the imagination necessarily means filling in the space, just that nothing can be better or more mood setting than a bombardment of dull imagery. Another PS example that works with limitations: Silent Hill. A difference between NES emptiness and PS emptiness is the surprise factor, what's hiding in the dark/fog. If you could see the t-rex a football field away, not quite the same. If you can see all of the fences the game has set up it doesn't seem as much like an adventure.

I just spotted this -- the new Play magazine had a few pages about TR: Anniversary edition for PS2 and PC. Just checked out the video from June from the cancelled Core PSP version. TR1 was the best TR, followed by TR2. I have forever thought somebody should redo the original! CD has stated the puzzles will be different enough that you'll have to figure them out all new again. Looks like it isn't due to unspecified 2007 though. Here's a few screen grabs of the PSP leaked video. (The screens from Play Magazine looked better).

I'm not in favor of this because, seeing how it's TR, I'll be forced to play it, and yet I don't want my memories of the first game altered or "updated" in any way, which they no doubt will be. It's quite a quandary, yes, yes it is.

Well I favor this because I'm sick of trying to update my version with installers and stuff to play it on xp (but I got it to look good!). It really does pain me to see all the work from that video go to waste cause I liked the way the whole game was set up originally.

With Crystal adding Legend's style of gameplay (which I approve :tu:), the only thing we have to worry about is seeing the concept switch from exploring to solving room puzzles. If they manage to avoid doing that, this'll be the game I was looking forward to.

No 360 version? Boooo.

TR is a half-sony franchise, I thought you knew that already.

Tomb Raider has always been multiplatform.
