Posted on Unseen64 - Regarding Saturn Tomb Raider II
Official reason from coder himself:
"The game is going to be PlayStation and PC only. Does cutting out the
Saturn version allow you any additional flexibility?"
Smith: "Basically, that’s it in a nutshell. If we looked long and hard
enough at it, we could have done another Saturn version, but I think we
might have been compromising what we wanted to do on the PlayStation and
PC. We’ve always said that the PlayStation is a good system to do what Tomb
Raider does. That’s not anything against the Saturn, it’s just that the
PlayStation does its job extremely well. There was no way we could gain
improvement from the Saturn version because we couldn’t make use of things
like Mode 7 floors. We viewed it as a situation that we couldn’t move it as
far forward as we wanted to."
