I wish they’d remake it not even just remaster it. Re make how it was supposed to be intended before all the content being cut, it was also supposed to have a few sequels

Angel of Darkness is the best Tomb Raider. I personally think it had the best OST, the best vibe, the best story by far, and definitely the best Lara Croft. Jonell Elliot is beyond amazing

It was really cool hearing that the writer of this game still cares about the story and wanted to get the full story out somehow. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who enjoyed the game. And while yeah the gameplay is janky, I like the additions of analog stick controls, not having to hold the action button to grab ledges, being able to hang from ledges while facing forward and with a press of a button, and I know people don't really like this but I like that you can just tap the walk button to toggle it so you won't fall off ledges accidentally while positioning Lara for a jump. It was kind of like training wheels for me. Fitting as it was my first Core design game. And it was the first core game I finished.

I definitely think this game needs a remake from the ground up and have everything that was originally supposed to be part of it 💯

With the amazing job Aspyr did with the remasters I really hope they apply the same formula to TR 4, 5 and 6. Since they actually care about the franchise and actually hired talented fans for the remasters I could easily see them bringing on board the people behind AoD the Restoration Project. BTW if people did not pick up the remasters, I highly suggest they do. With that said, was anyone able to get AoD running on the Steam Deck?

I remember playing AoD and finishing it on my mother's laptop- without a mouse, but a touchpad. It fascinated me since I didn't know Lara Croft could be so vulnerable since I had only played Anniversary. I got back to AoD a few years ago and it has become an obsession of mine. Not only the rich lore Murti keeps feeding us to this day, the only love interest that could keep up with her, and the mystery, but especially Lara growing and healing. I collected any merchandise, have a huge LV tattoo, and a tumblr to post about all of the background information in the form of a journal. AoD needs a remake as a trilogy; it is such a shame what happened to this game.

Yes, you're right. Tomb Raider Angel of darkness was very flexible and had the most potential, and I think it deserves a realistic remastered version with all realistic physical laws, and I agree laras badass attitude was everything ❤

Hopefully if the remastered trilogy sells well, they can do a second trilogy that includes this game,chronicles and the last revelation. Give chronicles and the last revelation the same treatment that the trilogy got but maybe the makers could get access to the original code for this game and fix the bugs and make it as it was originally intended to be. It would be a nice way to close out the second core trilogy.

As someone who played AOD back in 2003 as a kid who couldn’t get use to the controls and never finished it myself, I completely get your view point too and see how this game could of been so huge for TR. The story is the most detailed while being the most dark out of the OGs, the music is incredible, Lara’s model has become one of the most loved and the overall feel of the game is unlike any other TR game making it really unique. While I don’t know how or even if an official remake or remaster would ever happen, I think if it was it would be massively successful and do right by a lot of the original team who worked hard on this game but never got to do it justice with the time frame they had.

Much as AOD was released basically unfinished its soundtrack is 1 of the if not the best in the franchise

i would love for this game to get a true remaster! I overall enjoyed AOD it's just such a shame that it was so rushed out the door and not had the proper time to be finished!

We need Traod remake or remaster^^

Imagine Core Design not being pushed to have this game released in 2002 and then in 2003, but instead being given enought time to really and truly finish it. Just picture this game having really good and tight controls (both tank and modern ones), all the bugs and glitches fixed, the game itself being really complete (e.g. no cut content, no inaccessible areas, etc..), finalized & fine-tuned body upgrade mechanics, most of the dialogues resulting in different playthrough paths to be taken.. Yeah, the game would probably have been great. Unfortunately, that didn't happen and the game sucked. Even today, despite all the fan patches and bug fixes, the very-deep-rooted issues still make it feel like an unfinished product, though, admittedly, all those updates made it very playable and highly enjoyable - unlike its originally released version. So I think we do not need a remaster (the graphics are fine, fixes for controls are out already) or a remake (remaking something bad typically doesn't make it much better), but merely a FINISHED version of the game, as it was originally envisioned.

This is the game that actually made me LOVE tomb raider as a kid ironically. And to be honest if they were able to accomplish what they wanted and had the time to do it this probably would have been the best tomb raider trilogy! Like if you actually take your time to look into the making of the game, and learn the actual story the game couldn’t properly tell at some points the story was actually really REALLY good in my honest opinion. Like the thought that was put into the story is insane. The atmosphere of it just hits different than any other tomb raider game. And the music is amazing. I REALLY hope that they revisit this story and bring it to life in the way that it’s meant to be.

I loved AOD

Cool things in French is Lara had always the same voice actress as Françoise cadolle through out all the games until the reboot come so to TR1 to TR6(AOD) it still the same voice. Btw i think AOD need a remake a remaster is not enough it need to get back all the cut content and came out as he suposed to out the first time. This game is a really good one instead of lot of people say its just bad that they rush it instead of take there time to complete the game completely before it's out.

The thing that let this game down was the controls. The graphics are amazing. The story is pretty good. And the enemies are challenging. All the developers really need to do is allow players to use game controllers like the XBOX 360 and Playstation controllers for the pc. If they must upgrade the graphics but I don't think the game needs it because the graphics are still ok.

This video deserves more likes and views. AoD was also my favorite, despite being the only one I did not finish bc I HATED playing as Curtis. And despite dying with when I’d talk to mob bosses. 😅 It was the concept I loved. I also wished it had become a tv series, that way the story could be finished.

AOD's story, Lara's look, attitude and Kurtis being the best sidekick (for me personally) are all the right reasons to give this game a proper remake, with addition of two more games making it a trilogy it was meant to be.

I like this game more than the TR after the crystal dynamics trilogy. After Legend this is the best in my opinion

YESSSS I COMPLETELY AGREE. The story was amazing, I love it

Would love to see it back

This game is so underrated when it comes to story and lore as well. Tomb raider was my childhood i got the remasters loving them again remaster more awesome video subbed.💜🇬🇧✌🏻

Not alot of fans of the originals like to hear this because they want to blame Eidos but, I think it’s a bit of a misrepresentation to call this a “rushed” game, because it wasn’t rushed at all. Angel of Darkness was an extremely mismanaged project from Core Design. They wanted to do too many things with this game at once with no compromise. Story dialogue with different outcomes, hand to hand combat, 2 playable characters, optional routes, upgrade system, stealth, rpg elements, way too many locations/levels, shops and the list just goes on. As a project manager it’s your responsibility to scale back to make sure you can deliver a finished product in time and despite an almost 1 year delay it was still unfinished.

This game needs more than just a remaster. But I still like it even though it´s so fucking slow.

Yeah I love the fact the game has a Detective aspect to it aswell. Shame man. It could become the best if they re-did it today. (and bring back Jonell elliott too)

AoD needs to be finished first. I bet that if the devs had the time they needed, it wouldn't be as bad as it ended up being, and perhaps would've been a very good one! After that a remaster would be ok. And please, populate Paris a bit more.

Every year Im returning to this game just to get to Ghost and beat his ass. When I was a kid I couldn't do this, so this is my revenge

AOD is the direction Tomb Raider should have gone to 😔

5:52 the amount of research and attempts i did as a kid for this level is unreal. Had to be the most difficult level I've played in my life

Hmm, ahh yes: Tomb Raider 6: The Angel of REMEMBER WHAT THEY TOOK FROM US'

👍

If they're ever gonna remake it, it would be a smart decision to make the game bigger and better than before by not only fixing all the bugs/glitches but also add in ALL of the content that had to be cut. That way, if the development goes as i've described it, the game would be hailed as an absolute masterpiece.

is it possible to get these graphics and mods with steam addition of the game? I do love this game, always have actually enjoyed this one the most out of the more modern titles actually, I understand it's flaws and loved it for what it was trying to do

I love how the auto-generated captions at the start say "Angela Darkness". 😄

Angels of darkness I loveeeee this game so much

It deserves a full remake but only if they are going to finish the story as originally planned. Am I the only person that liked Kurtis and was interested in his back story?

Also used to randomly restart games 🙋🏻‍♂️ to be fair on myself, I had no choice with AOD because I didn’t have a memory card. Somehow actually finished this game and have no memory of the ghost you got stuck on 😂

There's a unoffical fix. It's a big work to add all cut contents.

TR Angel of darkness was awesome, probably one of my most favourite TR, I never had any issues with it whatsoever, but I kinda confused about how it is unfinished? What I can remember was that it had a conclusion and never thought there was anything wrong with the story and etc . Can anyone please explain what exactly was unfinished?

i wish the made a trilogy of this game and the ones they though would follow this one up. i wanna see what couldve been made

Ik of 2 guys doing this kinda one in unity and the other on the unreal engine.

I guess one few I like the game

the game looks nice and all but she isn't really like the oj lara so if it was another woman with kurtis id prefer it

Is that PS 2 or 1 ?

Remaster - absolutely not. If anything, it would need a full remake, because none of it is salvageable. For starters, the engine itself is the biggest stinking pile of garbage that I've ever seen. Just one look at the config options tells me it's a mess. Then there are the godawful controls. Everything is sluggish and unresponsive. The stairs mechanics are straight up terrible. Jumping in Wrath of the Beast or Sanctuary of the Flame is always a painful load fest. There's random shit that happens for no reason. You cannot have a platformer where the character randomly veer to the right or left just because you pressed the "hop" combination as the tutorial told you to. That's insane. Then you have Lara climbing boxes and ladders just because you were pressing "forward" but no action. That's crazy too. And for some stupid reason, the fan patches enabled this obviously unfinished and way too sensitive stumble when she happens to bump into even the smallest objects like soda cans, or this stupid feature where she moves slower as she's injured. It sounds good on paper but actually is very annoying. Then there's "I feel stronger now". Ugh. This should have never been implemented and is the reason why the running animation is so slow. You can't have a platformer where the player can never be sure if they'll make a jump, or fall short, or overshoot it, because the jumping distance changes throughout the game. I would also completely remove the grip bar. It was never needed in a Tomb Raider game, so no idea why it's there. The camera is also horrible. If you want a character to start moving in relation to an enemy rather than in relation to the environment you're in, that's fine, but it should be a toggle, and should be better implemented. I think it's actually a good idea, just horribly executed. The plot holes are obvious and we can see very clearly about half of the game was cut out. Nothing new here. The AI has to go. There is no redeeming quality about it. And in general... for a Tomb Raider game, it takes way, way too long to get to the meat and potatoes, so to say. Pretty much until Louvre Storm Drains, this isn't Tomb Raider. I think the music is the only thing about AOD that was actually finished. I would personally just let this game die in peace. For the amount of work required to make it work, you might as well just release a brand new Tomb Raider game on the classic engine or even better, a brand new level editor just like they did for Chronicles.

TRAOD is my favourite Tomb Raider ❤ hope they will remaster/finish it as was originally planned

I think this game is too broken for a remaster. Lara is so slow with weird moves. Paris is so grotesque here too. But they must keep this atmosphere and this music 🤩

Remake and restore all missing content, yes. Remaster? NO... This game is way too unfinished and broken for that.

No. Very bad game
