Tomb Raider I-III Remastered arrives on the Switch this week and the tech experts at Digital Foundry have already got a video up about the performance and frame rate across each system.
In case you missed it, the Switch version of this remaster runs at a native 1080p and 60 frames per second docked, and 720p at 60fps in portable mode. John Linneman of Digital Foundry notes how he did not encounter a single frame rate hiccup - so it really is a silky smooth and "near perfect" experience in terms of performance.
The other versions of the game (on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5) deliver 4K output at 60fps. However, there is one catch, while the remaster version runs at 60fps on each platform, the classic graphics mode is capped at 30fps. The frame pacing also creates some minor issues here, and while it's still playable it's not optimal.

Apparently, for some reason, the characters still bop their heads in modern style despite now having actual mouths. OK.
@MirrorFate2 Did you, um, watch the video? He specifically notes that characters now have facial animations instead of just bobbing their heads.
Hi you should link to your sources. Not cool to just steal content from Eurogamer/digital foundry without giving them credit.
@Aswannsong I think the YouTube video embedded and the title, "Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis..." miiiiiight count as giving them credit, linking sources, etc.
@Aswannsong It says DIGITAL FOUNDRY right there in the headline.
Astonishing how many of you don’t understand how sourcing and credit works.
Embedding someone else’s video from YouTube, and casually referencing their story, without directly linking to the actual story itself deprives the original publication, and author, the hits and revenue, at a minimum. I won’t go into the details around plagiarism etc.
Here is the original written article for those interested in supporting the actual journalist:

I predict someone will comment this is ace but I am only buying it physical
Got mine preordered, happy valentines day Lara 😂
@Aswannsong They mention DF constantly in the article and link the video. The Eurogamer article is just a written version of the video as all off EG DF articles are.
@Aswannsong Using strong words such as “stealing” and “plagiarism” is also borderline defaming when DF is clearly mentioned all over this article, X post etc. But it’s true that a link to the original, written article would be nice.
That being said, If it weren’t for NL I would never actually watch DF videos and give them my (much needed?) extra view.
It looks like some parts of the games got the premium remaster treatment whereas others just got some extra lighting here and there.
DF might get upset again, lara looks awfully pretty in remastered...
@Aswannsong Your fight for the rightious cause is commendable.
BUT, it's not that many (of exactly two people who commented on this specific topic at that point) don't understand how sourcing and credit work, when the only thing missing is the mere link to the original source. So rein in your narcicism and don't be so freakin' arrogant!
It's also the fact that Nintendolife and Eurogamer are partnered websites. So, we can rightfully assume, that Eurogamer is well aware and okay with, that NL uses Digital Foundry articles and videos.
@Aswannsong Is this some kind of bad joke? The video is right there. Nintendolife has been doing digital foundry articles for many years like that now.
@Aswannsong Are you ok or just trolling? It's clearly heavily credited above, including the article headline. DF/Eurogame is also a sister site to Nintendo Life. Do something more productive with your faux outrage.
@Aswannsong I'm not usually one to defend one fanbloid against another, but unless Eurogamer owns DF, their article is but a report like NintendoLife's here, and you can't "embed the video without linking to the actual story" because the video itself IS the original material in question.
Definitely getting this eventually and even more so now that we finally know it's genuinely good!
Now if they would just let me play the Switch version... doesn't seem to be live yet.
@Aswannsong In any case, I appreciate you posting that link! I was hoping to read all the details of DF's report without having to watch the video, and that article delivers.
@Impossibilium They still bobble their heads in modern style.
We need a Physical release......not Digital....
