I don't know if you ever played Core Tomb Raider games.
The whole level design is grid based and works perfectly with the grid based controls of Tomb Raider.
There are tons of jumps that require perfect regular jumps right from the edge, or perfect long jumps. Easily done with Core controls. You also have momentum.
The controls are not "bad", "outdated" or whatever, they are accurate, but you are responsible for the inputs. If you fail, it's your fault.
See:
The Core Tomb Raider controls were created for exactly that and they work - perfectly. If you master the controls, you will make it every time, not because the game helped you out, like modern games do, where platforms are magnetic or jumps are semi-automated, or because you were lucky, but because you play the game properly. When you fall or fail, it's your fault. Always.
When you understand that, you have to wonder how you would add so called modern controls into this. These "modern" controls are BY DEFINITION inaccurate. Look at Uncharted, you are magnetic, you basically can't fail. I don't see how this would work out while keeping the exact same original level design, except maybe that the game really would play itself, or be really really forgiving (guess where you want to jump to, and add additional distance so that you make it, even if you jumped too early, or when your angle is slightly off), but I say what's the point of that?
Just look at the "modern" controls in the new Resident Evil Remake.
Do you think that's good? These controls literally destroy the game. You can do all sorts of things that the original designers did not want. It's basically cheating. Enemies are designed around the original controls. When you allow instant direction changes, you break the game. The enemies are still using the same ways of attacks, but you are now overpowered, which in turn makes it trivial to evade enemies. It's like modifying Resident Evil 4 and adding movement while shooting to it. You can do that, but that would also destroy the game.
But at least in Resident Evil Remake, they actually kept the original controls. In this here it's even more severe because the level design relies so much on exactly these controls, and I wouldn't even surprised if they changed level design because of that, and if they did, I would be 100% against it. In any case calling this faithful sounds really weird.
Instead of this bs, I would rather get additional level packs. They could throw some of the fan made levels into the mix. There are so many fantastic ones. Think Doom or Doom 2, where you can download new levels.
