I wish all of this patches were on the cartridge before they released the physical version
Just got my physical in the mail...
Need to check the version number on it.
Hopefully this was included!
@Spider-Kev Nope.
@tonyp1987 So you will never see a physical release ever again.
Interestingly, the digital version apparently shrink from 6.5 GBs to 5.5 GBs according to the eshop.
The medipack textures (classic graphics) was only a small oversight: they altered the colours on the logo to avoid red cross stuff in TR1&2 and also made them more consistent across the games, but some of them remained unchanged and at least one became misaligned.
So it's good to see that they fixed them, even if no-one but me notices it
"Boss health bars can now be toggled on or off"
I like this change!
Happy to see they're further improving this, waiting for my physical copy to arrive as my usual retailer accidentally sent me a PS5 copy so I had to send it back (not that I would've had the time to start it immediately anyway, but still)!
Same, waiting for my physical copy to land in the mail, but sad those updates won't be included, damn.
The physical version is still perfectly playable from what I've discovered. I mean I can't help but get the impression people are overreacting a little here.
The worst that may happen if you just have the cart with zero updates? In one rare scenario, you'll have to reset your console after a softlock in TR1 and start from your last save.
However, the majority of people will never encounter this and if you have the updates backed up on a Micro SD or two, you should have nothing to worry about.
Remember, bugs like these were often found on the cartridge/disc back in the day, so this isn't anything new.
Great work! Let’s hope they put the hours in on the next trilogy
Need to get back into this one. Replaying TR1 for the first time since the Saturn was a lot of fun. I never had a PS1 myself, so never completed the sequels. Got quite far into TR2 and put the game down for a bit.
I recently got the physical game. My version says it’s 1.0.6 and that I’m using the latest version of the software.
