Official statement from Crystal Dynamics
While we always welcome passion and excitement for the Tomb Raider franchise, the remasters in question were initiated and advertised without seeking approval. As such, they were never officially sanctioned. Ensuring fans receive high quality gaming experiences is at the heart of our mission as a company, which requires all projects to go through proper channels. We are thrilled about the future of Tomb Raider, and cannot thank fans enough for their continued support and excitement for the brand.
For those of you not aware, the same company responsible for the android ports of Classic TR1-2, released information on twitter this month revealing they were working on a remaster of 1-3 for Steam. What they failed to leave out is they didn't get Enix's blessing before jumping into this project. The project based on information on twitter was to include the option of HD Textures, better water and shadow effects along with some environmntal effects. All of these extra options would have been able to be switched off as well for purists.
