This week, Zero Punctuation reviews Tomb Raider.
The arrival of new Tomb Raider merchandise has offered a closer look at the updated Lara Croft character design.
Im going to miss the new lara croft design, i hope they don't change that much from the last game.
Plot Twist, this is what happened to Nathan Drake after Uncharted 4.
I kid, I kid. :)
Man… her face gives me the heeby jeebies. I hope she looks better in game.
An upcoming Tomb Raider RPG planned for early 2025 shows more of unified Lara Croft planned for a new AAA adventure leaked as "open-world".
This is not the Crystal Dynamics you once loved - this is a sold publisher that houses maybe 10% of it original cast of employees - this game will BOMB !!!! F Embracer Group - they suck BALLS ! Basketballs
Dude, calm down, let us wait and see the announcement and official images first
Embracer Group is an EVIL company that absorbed many companies with investor money
knowing damn well they were going to put amazing hard working people on the street
their plan was weak and they screwed up and lost BIG TIME $$$$
They can go Fuk themselves !
Of course most of the the original Crystal Dynamics team is gone they took over Tomb Raider over 20 years ago. That’s not abnormal. That doesn’t mean the newer devs will automatically fail.
Open world is already part one of setting it up to fail. I can sense the fetch quests, camp clearing, kill quests with hundreds of collectables sprinkled in already, just like every open world of the last 10 years. Lazy game design awaits.
Definitely not true. Crystal have kept the majority of their team, know a lot of folks that work there.
Don't disagree with you about the general sentiment towards Embracer though.
I am interested for sure. Embracer as a parent company has made a massive amount of mistakes and crappy moves but that doesn’t mean this dev team can not make a good game. If the game is good and has a physical copy I’ll buy it. Tomb Raider rpg in theory could be great.
Embracer SUX ASS !!!!
Yes I said it - they are an EU company where they received investment to suck up companies and kill them off or break them down and has put 1000's of workers out of work - as we say in the USA - F them - losers
A wise man once said “I seen a lot of people hate me and I didn't know what to feel about that so I guess I didn't like you much neither. During this fight, I've seen a lot of changing, the way you felt about me, and in the way I felt about you. In here, there were two guys killing each other, but I guess that's better than 20 million. I guess what I'm trying to say, is that if I can change, and you can change, everybody can change!”
I don't like the 'open-worlding' every franchise idea ... Tomb Raider needs to be semi-linear-ish ... or do segmented open spaces
This. They all follow the same basic structure and it's boring. Open world games have all become to similar to one another.
I'm kind of hoping they're saying open world but they mean the more 'hub' design they've had with recent games. I liked the hub concept. I'm not a fan of just open world a la Ubisoft, though. Ubisoft goes so hard on open world that I feel we really don't need any more.
I would like them to do a Halo ODST style, with the open hub area containing extra tombs and Easter eggs and collectibles and finding certain items will bring you to the linear mission.
For me I'd like to see more of a emphasis on puzzles return the last trilogy felt a bit like a modern action game
The Unified timeline bullshit still sounds awful going off the rumours
You can't make Survivor Lara and Classic Lara the same, they have totally different histories and origin stories.
They actually want to say that Survivor Lara turns into Classic which would then erase Classic Lara's origin story with the plane crash in the Himalayas.
Also an open world game...sigh
I had hoped the love for the Remaster games would have pushed them to continue that timeline or do a new reimagined timeline where you play as Classic Lara surviving in the Himalayas for those 2 weeks before she found a small village for help.
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?
lmao I do agree with the constant Loragasms she has through the game it gets really annoying.
As good as the game was, seeing another opinion does open thins up more. I do agree at some points with his review, especially since Raiding Tombs is treated like a side activity.
You can always depend on Yatzee not to sugar coat games and say the truth without worrying about hate from gamers.That is why people hate him so much.He points out things that reviewers refuse to look at for whatever reason whether it is simply bias or fear of backlash from gamers.I especially like the part where he says that Lara's suffering and pain is to be admired while Drake's own is to be laughed at. That is exactly right. People jeer and laugh and joke about Drake while he is being punched and shot and hurt with people saying he deserves it etc. But just laugh or jeer at Lara's less then believable situation and people want to strangle you and cut your throat.'Don't laugh at her she is a strong exceptional woman' Drake however can be scoffed at with on consequence.You don't marvel how Drake can fight tanks and survive train wrecks you roll your eyes. But Lara fighting wolves and beating all odds is 'inspiring' just because Drake decides to laugh it off instead of getting all serious or breaking down.Drake approach to situations reminds me more of Spiderman.Serious when it really counts but humorous in any other situation.
I actually agree here although I could live without the tiger and dinosaur genocide from the previous Tomb Raider games.
"A survivor is born" flashes at the end of the game and is a main theme for the game but there's no survival gameplay going on. You don't eat the animals you kill and all that's given is a few XP and a few bits of scrap, so it becomes pointless to do anything but ignore the animals.... I also feel like regenerating health is out of place in a game allegedly about survival. Some health packs would have been better.
Also, Lara does become a mass murderer quite easily and shrugs off ******************SPOILER***** *********** falling into a pit of blood and body parts. She also falls and takes a spike in the midsection and doesn't address that issue for at least 6 hours of game later. So every time she gets up limping, I'm like "that little spill cant be worse than taking a spike to the gut and having to pull it out".
Lastly, the Tombs are crap and half aren't even Tombs. Like the one on the boat. I completed 3 Tombs without knowing I was in the actual Tomb, and not the camp fire area before the Tomb.
Constructive criticism aside, TR is still outstanding and one of the best Reboots ever. Can't wait for the next game. Hopefully they'll shore up these holes and give us back dual wielding...
That final line was goddamn money.
