According to Tomb Raider writer, Rhianna Pratchett, Lara still comes from a wealthy background.
Tomb Raider I, II, III Remastered is available now on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Lara Croft is back in a classic remaster of the original PlayStation 1 hit title. Is the remaster any good though?
We've gone on many adventures with Lara Croft. With another reboot in the making, Wealth of Geeks felt it was a good time to go down the nostalgia rabbit hole and remember the best of those tomb-raiding thrills.
I do agree that Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness was the worse one 😂 I remember playing some of it and I took it back. That game was just awful in every way. I bought it used at gamestop and glad they had that 7 day return policy for used games 😂
Simple. He's been hating on the Tomb Raider reboots for years. I can't imagine seeing them at the top of a best TR game list let alone being on the list in general sitting well with him because of it.

“Hating”
No no, just pointing out how TR mutated into a generic action adventure game losing the appeal of what it once was when it was more about puzzles and platforming over going Rambo, slaughtering waves of enemies
But hey, continue being a dick and speaking about me like I’m not going to see the comment.
Foxtrot, I'm curious if you have played the most recent games. Sure the 2013 reboot was hugely focused on combat, but each follow up became less and less about combat to the point where outside of a few large scale story missions I don't even remember combat being a part of shadow of the tomb raider. Shadow was so puzzle focused it actually was a bit much for me and I love the TR puzzles.
I still feel like Rise was the best of the series and I was a huge fan of the originals. To me it struck the perfect balance of exploration, platforming, puzzles, and combat. Not saying your opinion is wrong I'm just curious what you think they should have done different. Games do need to evolve somewhat to stay relevant. Would you prefer small linear jumping platform levels like the original?
I think Shadow wasn't even develop by crystal dynamics. I thought it was the worse in the new trilogy
That's right. Shadow was developed by Eidos Montreal who who went and made Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy next. (Great game)
Meanwhile after Rise of the Tomb Raider, Crystal Dynamics made Marvels Avengers. (bad game)
For me, Legend should be alot higher (along with the other two ). Shadow, I enjoyed it, but has too much has fluff, as modern games tend to do. Playing the remastered series, and apart from the controls, is very good.
I really enjoyed the first 2 games, Legend and the first of the reboots and the rest I didn’t get into so I never finished.
Completely subjective list. I really liked Underworld, I preferred Lara's design. That said I loved the horror/uncharted feel of the reboot. I think all the TR games have strengths and weaknesses. None are objectively better in every way.
Like the film or television industry, the world of gaming has seen its fair share of reboots over the years. While some of these video game reboots have had
What is it with these guys making her parents missing, I feel like they're just doing that so in the future they can have another game with Lara setting off to find them like when she tried to find her mother in Underworld.
I'd rather they just stuck to the orginal background, I don't see why they made a totaly differn't Lara croft. Everytime they say something like
"Experience the origin of a legend"
I can't help shaking my head because this Lara isn't the one we grew up with, this Lara won't become that legend because they are differn't.
This is her old background story...
"Lara Croft is said to have survived a plane crash in the Himalayas at the age of twenty one, and was later disowned by her parents, who are still living. However, in the comics, Lara lost both her parents and her fiancé in the crash"
So I don't understand why they didn't base a game round after he plane crashes, it would still be a survival game and at the end of the game you would of witnessed the call she made for help when she finaly managed to find a small town after surviving for so long. Least then you could of actualy said experience the origin of a legend because then it would of been the real Laras background.
I'm not saying it won't be a good game, they should of just did a game based on the planet crash.
I mean if they used the comic version of the crash where her parents AND fiancé died that would of hardened her the most. Trying to deal with three of your loved ones death while trying to survive another traumatic experience of surviving a plane crash.
Wasn't the parent ( well father side ) of things touched in the later years which is in the first Lara Croft movie - Angelina and actual/and movie father John Voight who plays Lord Croft..
..maybe on the next installment with Lara on another mission could somehow by chance occurrence stumble on her parents' whereabouts. Getting to have only a glimpse or actually meet and talk to them would be the question.
I love the idea of this reboot. Everything is new, so forget all we once knew. Take it as it is - an weak orphaned girl becoming a strong woman (coming of age) and it sounds great.
I'm seriously fed up of hearing stupid ultrafeminist comments about her being made weak. In reality, many women (and men) are weak (a weak man becomes strong in Farcry 3), and feminist attempts to unrealistically portray all as strong are embarrassing to the wider equality movement.
Sounds like typical Rhianna Pratchett. As full of herself as her work is disappointing.
