Did Tomb Raider Remaster erase the original game?

Here, we will examine how the addition of a skybox to the original Tomb Raider 1, via the Remaster Trilogy (2024), fundamentally ruins both the atmosphere, immersion, and the internal history, lore and logic of the game's levels. This has been an ongoing problem in the Tomb Raider series since Tomb Raider Anniversary in 2007, and I will argue that its roots go back even further—to Tomb Raider 2 – owing in part to the games’ ongoing and detrimental adherence to realism. If game design and level design are your things, then hop on it and let's have a discussion :)

It's a wild ride to the future of the Tomb Raider games and a new Tomb raider game, so maybe this band aid should come off now! Especially if it has to do with the Lost Valley :p

For those asking, the side scrolling video of Lara is from Delca's channel -    • TOMB RAIDER: Side-Scroller Edition | Caves...   A great channel full of cool videos. Defo check out! I have it credited in the video already but perhaps people are getting distracted by the visuals they don't see the credit down the bottom of screen.

The level maps are from a site called https://www.deviantart.com/vgcartogra...
