Earlier this week, Tomb Raider I-III Remastered got an unexpected update that added new challenge gameplay modes, as well as a few new outfits for Lara Croft. Cool, or it should've been, because every new element has seemingly brought huge problems to the game.I thoroughly enjoyed the remastered trilogy back when it came out, but I found the new outfits from the preview too uninspired to get me to pick up the games again. I really should have, though, because there's a bizarre mystery waiting to be unveiled here, and not an intentional one. First off, the outfits are even worse than they were in the preview. They seem straight-up unfinished.https://youtu.be/gOF_oxeIV_QSome complaining fans even accused Crystal Dynamics of using AI to create the outfits and other assets, believing that no professional 3D artist would produce and turn in something so poorly made. Though there are no guarantees that Crystal Dynamics used generative AI in creating the new update, fans have pointed out inconsistencies in Lara Croft's new models and icons that one would typically expect from an LLM.Crystal Dynamics has responded, stating that no AI was used in creating these outfits and that the studio is working to fix bugs.https://twitter.com/AspyrMedia/status/2034364496555245774?s=20Interestingly, another party with no involvement in creating the new content was the original development team for the Tomb Raider Remastered trilogy, as one of their main devs has stated.https://twitter.com/playeroldskool/status/2032133432189296787?s=20So who did it? We don't know. It’s a weird situation, because the original remaster was made by fans whose passion could be felt when playing the game, but that’s absolutely not the case here.And it goes way beyond the visuals, as players have been complaining about the new update breaking various gameplay aspects that the original release had nailed so well. Scathing Steam reviews warn that the patch introduced audio and visual bugs, destroyed enemy AI, added the supposedly AI-slopped graphics, and even deleted all of the users' saves.After some pretty stellar Tomb Raider and Legacy of Kain remasters, this completely unnecessary game and eye-breaking update is just bizarre. Getting free updates is awesome, but I doubt there's anyone out there who doesn't regret the release of this new update.You can play Tomb Raider I-III Remastered on PC, PlayStation, Xbox X|S, and Nintendo Switch, but there's no guarantee that the experience right now will hold up to what we got upon release.The post Lara Croft’s outfits are once again a source of controversy, but not for the usual reasons appeared first on Destructoid.
