In 1996, Core Design's Tomb Raider revolutionized 3D gaming. Six years later, the franchise and its heroine had fallen from grace. Developers from Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal look back on their blockbuster origin trilogy, and discuss how Lara Croft came back from darkness to take her place in the spotlight as one of gaming's most powerful and resourceful icons.
Steam is changing its refund policy, but you probably won’t be affected
Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.
Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?
A job listing published by the UK studio reveals that its next project will be another entirely new IP.
Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.
Outriders developer People Can Fly's next game has been canceled after its publishing agreement with Take-Two Interactive fell through.
"the capital group of PCF Group S.A."
If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.
Outriders was crap. They slapped that game together and threw in a loot system to get players' attention. This game was absolutely jank and the always online nonsense made it stutter like crazy. People Can't Optimize.
I liked Outriders but I could see where the artistic vision was compromised. The way the industry is now, it wouldn't surprise me that upper management would scrap something that didn't pull in money via gaas, mts, or other means.
Honestly there are good things about the previous games and good things about the current. I'd prefer a mix of open world and linear to drive a better story in the current games. I'd also use more locations, cities even. Also can we finally get her original outfit its a dlc?...
Lara Croft isn’t the first lady of gaming
I want the old Lara Croft Back. Why can't she keep her iconic costume with slightly more average bust size? Oh never mind, I know the reason.
Rise of Tomb raider and the fall of Lara Croft.
Tomb Raider doesn't always get the credit that it deserves. It gets overshadowed by Lara's boobs, but In 96 there was no other game like it. The closest thing was Mario 64, but that was a cartoony 3D platformer. Where TR was a 3D action game with violence and puzzle solving. It helped paved the way for games like Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, God of War, Uncharted and so many games we play today.
