Sony has announced that the latest remastered HD collection, Tomb Raider Trilogy, will be hitting the PlayStation 3 exclusively on March 22. As previously revealed, the game features Anniversary, Legend and Underworld, all with Trophy support.
The game will include some non-gaming extras for your pleasure, including a PS3 static theme and two avatars for PlayStation Home -- Lara Croft and a Viking Thrall. Keeping in line with previous remasters, the whole package will set you back $39.99.
Tomb Raider is one of those curious franchises I've never been able to get into for reasons I cannot comprehend. I might try to break that by picking this up.

Still, good to see these games making their way to a new audience (granted 'Tomb Raider Underworld' was already on the PS3 but you get the point).
First I played Diablo. I would have rather played Demon's Souls. In a second. The technology just wasn't there in 96' I think it was.
Now I have Uncharted I don't need Tomb Raider. Tomb Raider could have invested in making an excellent Tomb Raider game - but they didn't. They made year after year shit games with far too little improvement. Fuck Tomb Raider. They had their chance and they blew it.
Also, Nintendo had a stake in the creation of MGS:The Twin Snakes, so an MGS collection would pretty much just be MGS2 and 3.
I really don't see what most of these collections stand to gain, you know, aside from Sony using HD remasters as an excuse not to reinstate backward compatibility on PS3 or put them up for download on PSN.
Yeah, I went there.
Even though Nintendo helped supervise the production of 'Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes', Konami is the one that owns the rights to the game (they did publish it, not Nintendo) so they could port it to the 360 for all they cared. It's Konami's choice if they want to include it in the collection, not Nintendo's (and I hope Konami does include it).
Also, I've given up on backward compatibility. If it comes back, awesome. If not, whatever. I play some of my PS2 games today and they look like ass on my HDTV. I'd much rather have developers remaster these games in HD, with trophies, better framerate, extra features, all on one blu-ray disc that won't scratch instead of 3 or 4 DVDs that are worn out. But that's my two cents.
That said, fuck the haters, Tomb Raider is brilliant and Legend and Underworld are two of the best action games of this console generation.
Legend and Anniversary were released on PS2 (not PS3), PC, and X360. So for the PS3, these two ARE HD remasters. Underworld is just thrown in as a bonus i guess. Personally, I can't wait as I've only played the PS2 versions.
I see your point on the "trilogy", but I guess by definition, this is a 3 game TR pack, thus it is, by definition, a trilogy of Tomb Raider games.
Anniversary is kind of a remake of the original I think.
can’t say im excited for this but i’ll try this soon enough, haven’t played this yet ^^
