Do Tomb Raider: Legend, and Tomb Raider: Anniversary use the same game engine? The character models definitely look the same.

Legend's has a feature called "Next-Generation graphics." Is there a way to turn it on in Anniversary?

Best Answer

More or less same graphics engine. More or less the same player models. But all the levels are different (more or less the levels from the original game, massively updated with new technology and tricks they just couldn't pull off in the old engine) and Lara has a slightly different bag of tricks (pole balancing, assisted wall running, etc).

Calling it "the same game" is doing both a disservice.
