Look at that fucking wolf michael-laugh

From what I can see it's the original level geometry with upscaled textures and some very unevenly updated models. In the middle screenshot the shotgun on Lara's back looks like the original square PS1 model while the handguns have been remodeled. The end result looks like Minecraft with one of those high res texture packs

Lara herself looks like she's from a 2006 game while I have no fucking clue what's going on with the wolf, it looks like some bizarre attempt at remaking the model while keeping the PS1 art style or something

Edit: The announcement on Steam is pure quality:

I just think the remastered graphics look inconsistent. If you redo the graphics but it looks kinda bad, is it really that much of an improvement over the originals?

Valid points all around. If I was more of a visual person I would have a bigger issue with it too.
