"Around these parts, we’re just a bit fond of Tomb Raider, the origins story that was released to show Lara Croft as a green behind the ears explorer who was neither very good at killing, shooting or not getting herself torn to pieces by particularly pointy bits of metal. We like the gameplay, the characters and the world that is was set in and when I reviewed it a few months ago, I even thought that Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition (the PS4 and Xbox One rerelease of the 2013 game) was a cracking title too.
Obviously, I want more of it and as I’m sure some sort of Yamatai prophecy suggests, you probably do to so here’s a list of the 8 things that we’d like to see from a Tomb Raider sequel."
Square Enix will be releasing three new manga titles later this year, all of which are available for pre-order now.
Polygon: "Tomb Raider developer Crystal Dynamics launched a new website for the franchise on Wednesday — Valentine’s Day is also Lara Croft’s birthday — with another peek at the impending “unified” design for its action heroine. New artwork of Lara sporting a post-Survivor trilogy look that evokes her classic design supports the theory that the Lara we saw last fall in Call of Duty is basically the character’s future appearance."
Crystal Dynamics really going hard with the man face. They sure do hate feminine looks!
Great artwork but please…this unified timeline shit sounds awful
It won’t work
Classic Lara and Survivor Lara have completely different origin stories meaning they are two separate timelines you can’t unify together
I really don’t want Survivor Lara anywhere near Classic Lara.
As long as she had dual guns, and doesn't whine all the damn time. They really dropped the ball with the new lara, had such a good start and didn't know what to do with it.
The Call of Duty version?! Surely there is a Fortnite version they can use instead to really nail the feel.
Today Square Enix announced its financial results for the first nine months of the fiscal year, related to the period between April 2023 and December 2023.
im enjoying FF16. while there is a lot of talking, usually you can skip it. Looking forward to FF7R2!
"More Rhianna Pratchett"
Hopefully not, her voice acting didn't suite Lara at all in Tomb Raider, she sounded like a 15 year old girl at times and some of her lines came off as cringe worthy ("Oh I hate Tombs"). The screaming and yelling didn't do so well also, I mean it wouldn't be a problem if it was kept at a minimal but with it happening so much she just didn't suite the role at all. They need to get someone that sounds more confident and sounds like a young women, not a young girl.
"3. More Sam, Reyes and Jonah"
We really don't need more characters, Tomb Raider is about Lara and we don't need other characters to get in her way. I think in the next game her butler should be her "communication" guy in the next game which offers her advice and stuff from phone/radio
Honestly what we need to see in the next game is an actual Tomb Raider game and not (sorry to say) a more open Uncharted clone in terms of QTE, life threatening moments, massive action pieces, focus on third person shooting elements etc
The fact the Tombs were optional in Tomb Raider pretty much says it all really
It would be cool to see more different environments
Spot on. I agree with everything on the list.
1. nudity
2. non linearity
3. hidden treasures
4. more animal enemies
5. food/survival element that affects stamina and health
6. no multiplayer at all or multiplayer done right
7. higher difficulty
8. nudity
What I would like to see is decent IA and engaging combat.
This game is faaaaar too easy (on highest difficulty) and the use of firearms is unnecessary entirely. You can resolve all situations with your bow. The IA is a disgrace: you shoot a bad guy and he comes running towards you and hide behind a tree that's right next to you. They are basically cannon fodder, then you get the guys with the shields and all you have to do is press dodge, then attack and they are done.
It's a shame cause the Bow is really fun to use, but the enemies are waaaay too dumb.
