One of my favourite games of all time and alot of TR fans have been after a remake for so many years now, I am wondering why nobody has decided to crowdfund this? It would surely be successful in terms of popularity, right?

Would you like to see this happen?
Is that the one, where Lara guns down dozens of people with firearms, while the camera points at a wall behind her back?
Why should it be crowdfunded? is not better to ask Squenix about a HD remake (I gather that this is what you want)

The Tomb Raider IP is property of Square Enix.

If Square Enix wants to remake this game, they won't need crowdfunding.

If people outside of Square Enix start a crowdfunding campaign for a TR2 remake, they'd be very naive and spend their time with an exercise in futility, because no matter how much money they collect, they won't get a permission from Square Enix to use the Tomb Raider license.

That said, personally I would like such a remake. The combination of old-school puzzles and modern presentation made TR: Anniversary my favorite game of the series, remakes of the other classic games would e very welcome.
I thought TRA was one of the greatest games ever made but I seem to be in the extreme minority in that opinion, hence there may be no demand for it.

In all fairness regarding TR 2, it is almost the perfect game and I think back to when George Lucas started tinkering with the original Trilogy (angels sing at it's very mentioning) and people seemed to be of the mindset, "Do what you want too to IV and VI but for the love of Yoda DON'T TOUCH EMPIRE!!!!" No amount of improved sound or visuals could improve on the perfect movie and thus no amount of improved graphics or sound could really make TR 2 any better.

And if most people have the same oppinion about it a crowdfunding campaign is doomed to fail.

No, that's Silent Hill 2.
I think they should remake Call of Duty or perhaps even Battlefield 2 through crowdfunding.
Or perhaps even Deus Ex if the public is ready for a remake of that.

SH2 has fixed camera, while in old Tomb Raider games the camera is rotating in most locations, but usually too late.
