Should movies ever jump into bed with gaming titles or even the other way around? Over the years, movies and video games have had a somewhat tumultuous relationship and there’s certainly been a lot more hate than love.
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.
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
They have, its called licensed gaming.
So far, all but a few games have made anything worth mentioning.
Now, if you mean should they borrow from one another? I would say no. The game industry can borrow from movies. But movies have nothing to learn from the gaming industry...at least nothing productive.
Should they? No. Can they? Yes. I think we've already seen the detriment of cross-media entertainment when it gets taken too far; Rock Band, Guitar Hero, Wonderbook, any Interactive movie, and coming up, Beyond: Two Souls. It's all fad and folly, gimmicked and greed driven... in other words, not good for actual gamers and the industry, long term.
I prefer gaming to remain gaming and not to be expanded into something it isn't...
