Reboots aren't something that everybody greets with enthusiasm, and for good reason. They can be awful misrepresentations of our favourite movies, comics or video games, but in the case of the new Tomb Raider reboot from Crystal Dynamics we've got something that can satisfy long time fans and newcomers alike. It is truly a game that has one eye on the past whilst striving to make advancements in modern gaming. But what is it that makes it so successful, and how can other reboots learn from Tomb Raider? Join Liam Dean as he tries to answer this question and shed some light on the development process of one of the year's hottest games.
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
I really enjoyed the game and think it was a brilliant reboot. It will be interesting to see where it goes next.
It was one of those games that was greater than the sum of its parts. It didn't have the best graphics, story or boss battles. The enemy all had the same AI. Some of the voice acting was shoddy and Lara's friends were a horribly clichéd bunch - but it was still awesome from start to finish.
Tomb Raider is a reboot done well, and would like to see how the series goes on...
DmC is a reboot from hell, and would like it die as soon as possible...
