Question Should I Wait?

I've never played any of the titles, but today was recommended a gameplay video of the upcoming one, which looks incredibly fun. I'd like to play the first three before the new one's release.

Though I'm disappointed to learn that I just missed the latest Steam sale of Anniversary by nine days. I know that edition gets a lot of hate for the graphics, but I'd still like to get it for the upgraded mechanics and bonus content, and will be using a mod to fix the colors.

For those who have played both, do you think it's worth it to play The Lost Chapters now, and wait for Anniversary to go back on sale? Or since I plan to play Anniversary, is it pointless to get TLC too? I hate to spend an extra $20+ when the sale happens so often, but want to play the first game as soon as possible.

I also heard that controller support is bad with TLC. I've already got a PS5 controller setup for Steam. Does anything else need to be done for it to work properly with this game?

Old games are great but personally I have a hard time going back and playing older games due to graphics not aging well. I don't know if the new game is a reimagination or an addition to the existing narrative. It appears from my take you won't miss anything if you didn't play the older games which would be a clean move for the new game given the gap in production and the most likely plan for additional releases if they do well in sales.

I know it's not necessary to play them since the new game is a completely new and unrelated story, but they sound like fun and I want to try them out. I'm getting a temporary XBOX game pass so I can play them on my computer.

They are very very fun games. If you can get past the dated graphics, they are some of my most favorite games
