Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered Starring Lara Croft (we're still not quite over that title) has just received a meaty new patch, and it's available to download now on PS5 and PS4. The headline addition is a new outfit for Lara, but beyond that is a huge laundry list of fixes and improvements.
A new 'Nightmare in Vegas' costume has been added to the game, which sees Ms. Croft don a special leopard skin outfit. Interestingly, this never made it into the original release.

Remind me, why does this not have a platinum again?
@SaucyBrotato
Because Sony
Was waiting for trophies to be fixed. Hopefully this patch might do that. Outside hope the plats would be added to the PS5 version but can play the ps4 one anyway.
Nice to see trophy fixes in the patch notes. I was holding off on starting the Unfinished Business expansion until they'd been sorted.
@InsaneWade Thanks for the explanation, much appreciated!
Hopefully Aspyr will put in the same amount of work patching up the Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection 🙏
Now she dresses like my great aunt...
I know you can do it when you have your guns out, but a simple hop backwards button in the modern controls would be appreciated!
Some really good fixes in this update, unfortunately I already finished all 6 of them already
@SaucyBrotato yup, the only thing I care about with the updates, no PS5 platinum, no purchase.
Those look like nice updates but I'm still waiting for the Platinum patch. I'll give it a bit more time if not than I'll fire up the PS4 versions.
I also wish for a Platnium trophy. Has anyone just played the ps4 version instead? If there any difference?
@sanderson72 You can actually do the hop backwards without guns drawn. A bit convoluted, but you need to press R3 to enter Look mode, hold down on the left stick and then press R3 again to exit Look mode and she'll do it. In the modern control scheme also walking back two steps from the edge gives you enough space for a run up to a long jump
Do people not just play games for fun anymore? What is the obsession with earning trophies?
@Juanalf There will be no “platinum patch”. Once a trophy list has launched without a platinum, one can’t be added later. They could create a whole new stack I suppose but that’s not going to happen. So just play the PS4 version if you want platinums.
@Mintie the platinum would be near impossible anyway - finishing the game without using a med pack seems impossible with the mummies jumping all over you in the Egypt levels. You can’t escape them. I’ve just decided to replay the games without even thinking about trophies.
@boreal187 once you get used to drawing your guns to hop backwards it becomes second nature. The modern controls are so good - I wouldn’t be enjoying these games as much with the tank controls.
Its so weird that games even the ancient ones are ao buggy on release no wonder thet never did a physical release.
