Tomb Raider developers searching for multiplayer designer to work from the “ground up”
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
Urgh....work on the single player you fools, the online in Tomb Raider was pointless. It was bad and the majority of people stopped playing it after a week. To me it was like Bioshock 2's situation...nobody gives a crap about it.
I mean they should focus on the single player and this time actually try to make it feel like a Tomb Raider game instead of trying to be like Uncharted so much.
I would like them to bring in better voice actors though, Lara's voice actor for being the main character was so bad. It was alright in normal speaking conversation but with all the yelling/screaming she does it was annoying.
I mean I'm guessing and I said I'm GUESSING that because Square Enix is considering Tomb Raider sales a disappointment despite selling quite well they won't get much of a budget this time. So why on earth would you waste it on building a multiplayer mode from the ground up which hardly nobody will give a crap about
Funny thing about that is I bought the game for single player. After they announced no SP dlc I traded it in.... Keep working on that multiplayer
Survival of the fittest multiplayer mode an entire open world island were you scavenge for food and supplies, customized characters and be able to build not only gear but your camp. You can team up and/or kill other players on the map. The goal is to level your character some goals can be things like building a raft or kill all the other players.
So there you have it, no need for a game designer to tell you how to make awesome multiplayer.
Hmm. From the ground up? I smell a new engine. :D
Hey i know how about concentrating on sp and give us some huge tombs to raid in an open world this time not those 2 min caves you gave us.
