MediaStinger: "Crystal Dynamics has once again brought back the video game industry’s most popular heroine in an effort to reboot the iconic series and help Lara Croft climb back up to the top of the genre that she helped build. But the new Lara is no longer about sexy outfits and unrealistic aerial maneuvers all while dual-wielding pistols John Woo-style; instead, she is a beat-up (but never broken), strong female protagonist who gives Nathan Drake a run for his fortune.
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
Drake: "Bitch please..."
Tomb Raider is definitely better than Uncharted. I am guessing Uncharted 4 will be much more improved, which will lead to Tomb Raider 2 be much more improved too.
I really enjoyed Tomb Raider more than Uncharted, at least gameplay wise. The controls feel perfect and the pacing was on the spot. Uncharted had some frustrating moments, specially with the gunplay, something that Tomb Raider doesn't have at all, even playing on hard.
The title is stupid. The original Tomb Raider's played nothing like the Uncharted games. Crystal Dynamic's went with the "If we can't beat'em, copy'em" direction with the TR reboot. Why couldn't they just make the game like the first TR? Platforming, solving puzzles, exploring. Now it's just a another shooter.
I'm sure I am going to get a lot of disagrees with this due to the bias towards PS3 exclusives, but after playing Tomb Raider, it is definitely better then uncharted 2 in quite a few ways.
Platform/Climbing mechanics are better. Better/smoother animations. Not as linear as uncharted 2 which is very very simplistic.
Combat is better then Uncharted 2.
It also has a better sense of exploration compared to Uncharted 2.
Uncharted 2 still beats it in characters and story though, but Naughty Dog should definitely look at Tomb Raider in ways to improve the gameplay for uncharted 4.
Hopefully Crystal Dynamics expands on the platforming and tombs and puzzles more with Tomb Raider 2. We need more platforming and puzzles etc incorporated into Tomb Raider 2.
TR single player is a great game and everyone should try it.. but humm i think the MP needs major work. uncharted's MP is far from perfect but TR is much worst , maybe some patches and fixes will help it, but im not sure. im just not feeling the MP in this game at all , uncharted mp i did have more fun.. but for me SP is where its at in TR not the MP dud..
