Happy New Year everyone! Last month we revealed the new Tomb Raider in the December issue of Game Informer. Personally I’m thrilled about the new direction Crystal Dynamics is taking Lara Croft and the Tomb Raider franchise overall. There is so much great stuff planned, I CANNOT wait until we can divulge more info.
If all this talk about Tomb Raider is making you nostalgic for the previous titles, I have great news ─ you’ll get to revisit three of them in The Tomb Raider Trilogy. Included are remastered HD versions of Anniversary and Legend as well as the final chapter in the trilogy Underworld. In addition, The Tomb Raider Trilogy includes an exclusive static theme pack, Lara Croft and Viking Thrall avatars for PlayStation Home as well as trailers that go behind the scenes of all three titles.
When can you get your hands on this awesomeness? The Tomb Raider Trilogy will be available March 22 for $39.99.
I hope this comes with that DLC that never came out on PS3 for Underworld.
How is the Home content rewarded? A code insert? What about adding an exclusive avatar to the bonus content?
Exclusive old games, AWESOME! NOT!!! Am I the only one that doesn’t really care for these old PS2 titles that I’ve played years ago?
sweet now we can have Nathan Drake standing side by side with Lara Croft, now that’s a crazy tag team
The box art could definitely use some sprucing up. Seems kind of like a cop out. And how are Legend and Anniversary editions “Remastered In High Definition”? They were already released in high definition on PC and 360. I appreciate compilations, but would love to see more work put into them, rather than just dumping a bunch of existing stuff onto a disc and calling it a day.
is it a box set or all game in 1 disc ?
Final Fantasy HD Collection – X, X-2, XII
Kingdom Hearts HD Collection – I, II, Re:CoM
Rogue Galaxy HD
Let’s get these moving. Hate that you guys take years to make obvious good decisions.
laura is the best female action hero!!
Will Anniversary have the extra costumes from the PSP version and the extra room in the mansion from the Wii version? I know it’s a very small thing, but I’m still curious.
I can Finally play this games on my PS3 in HD…!!!WOOOOO(^.^)!!!
It will be a great addition to my collection
I’m gonna buy this for Anniversary and Anniversary alone, because its the only damn TR game that’s been worth anyone’s time in the past decade >:(
Who thought shooting humans with a non-shooter friendly design would be fun. And why ruin the brilliant adrenaline system in TRA when making TRU? I don’t get that design decision.
i already platinum’d underworld, will this collection recognise my underworld progress?
Will Underworld HD include the content which was cut from the original and repackaged as exclusive xb360 DLC?
They pretty much confirmed no now for the DLC of Underworld.
Having a solid blu-ray release is fantastic! I’m not a fan of PSN only releases. I’d still like to see the two KINGDOM HEARTS games the most as an HD re-release!!!
Happy Friday everyone!
Thank you again so much for your questions and comments. I gathered the FAQs and caught up with Karl Stewart (Global Brand Director) over at Crystal Dynamics today to get the answers straight from the source. Hopefully we’ve managed to cover off on the key questions. If not, Karl will on here later to follow up too J
(This will be in parts as there’s limit on characters)
Q. Will this be a retail game on one Blu-Ray disc?
Q is it a box set or all game in 1 disc ?
A. Yes, this will be a retail only release and were are delighted to be able to fit all three games, and additional content, onto one PlayStation3 Blu-Ray disk.
Q. Will there be Trophy Support? If so, what games?
A. All three games will have trophy support. Trophy support was previously available on the Underworld release. We’ve spent a lot of time working to ensure that both Legend and Anniversary supported this awesome PlayStation3 feature.
[let’s try that again!]

Q. Will Underworld include the previously 360 exclusive DLC?
A. Unfortunately we will not be including the previously released Xbox 360 DLC. This content was created exclusively for the Xbox 360 during the release of Tomb Raider Underworld.
Q. Please update us about the graphics. To compare to the X360 version, it is similar, or better, worse, etc.?
A. The X360 versions of the game all looked graphically superb. The benefit of taking the time to go back and re-master and re-work all of the textures from the previous versions of Legend and Anniversary is that the technology has improved since the games were originally released. We can honestly say that visually these will be the best versions of the game.
