According to Amazon, a Tomb Raider Trilogy is coming to PS3.
Crystal Dynamics' daring reboot of Tomb Raider brought Lara Croft back into the spotlight.
An attempt at a reboot with no momentum for continuance. Just a torture-porn trilogy about a poor rich girl with daddy issues reluctantly being pulling into a world of violence, versus say the adventures of a quipping Brit treasure hunter who solves ancient puzzles while gunning down rare and extinct animals that it originally was?
Honestly, don't have all that killing. If the devs had been truly clever, not focused on mangling a message about the senselessness of killing which was seemingly and quickly forgotten, they could have worked, if not bloodlessly then not directly by Laura's hand, dealing with enemies as part of the puzzle solving - they didn't have in the game in the first place...
"Revived a '90s Gaming Icon"
LOL
the only thing similar between the 2 is the name of the protagonist. if they would have given the game a different name, NONE would even think that it was somehow a resurrected Tomb Raider IP. the last game with the real Tomb Raider DNA was TR Underworld.
The Survivor Trilogy was a drastic reimagining of Lara Croft and Tomb Raider, and it provokes changes for the character that are truly fantastic.
Deserves less IMO, i think the 1st in the new trilogy was a perfect 1st step for the new direction. The next 2 games were half steps at best. Not only that, every character in the series including Lara is just annoying and doesn't make sense in terms of motive, like yes they have a motive, but none of it seems proportional to the lengths they are willing to go through for it. The most annoying thing is every one of the games say "become the Tomb Raider" yet 3 games later and we're still not there? No thanks. Then there's the mess of the 3rd game, massive skill tree that serves almost no purpose as there's literally only like 3-4 short encounters in the whole game, and they took till the 3rd game to finally manage some decent puzzles even remotely close to previous games in the series. Nah, the trilogy infuriated me to no end as a long time fan of the series, i hope we get better going forward cause that crap sucked.
Yeah...no
It was awful, for THREE GAMES it was "become the Tomb Raider" where she went back to square one after each game. Not to mention after a huge reaction of killing someone for the first time she then becomes Rambo straight after and goes on a slaughter spree without a single other reaction. Her development was all over the place.
She was whiney, weak and in later game a little arrogant and selfish
Oh and the voice actress compared to the previous ones was not as good
Lara Croft deserved better and while they are decent games as they are, we deserved actual Tomb Raider games, we could have had better survival games if they just stuck with the original Lara Crofts origin about her plane going down. Surviving 2 weeks in the Himalayas...I'd have liked to seen that, who knows what mystical threat she could have faced in the mountains or underground some secret concealed cave.
2013 I thought was a fine entry, but Rise and especially Shadow were painfully mediocre follow ups imo, I really didn't like how selfish and angry her character was in those two.
First one was decent, played through it twice.
Second one was okay, played through it once.
Third one was really bad, tried twice a year apart, still can't get through the first two hours, it is just really bad.
Adam Hurd of GameGrin writes: "Gaming is an interactive medium. For decades now we’ve had people criticise the structure of narrative heavy games, for relying on cutscenes to tell the story. In films there’s a phrase: show, don’t tell, the idea that it’s better for the scene to show you what’s going on rather than the characters or text to tell you. In gaming I feel like there should be another rule: do, don't show, the idea that the story should be told through mechanics if possible, instead of in cutscenes."
Playing on a newish Slim and it's frozen a bunch of times as well as had graphical glitches.
This is a common issue too, the official forums have tonnes of complaints. I won't be buying another Ubi HD-remaster anytime soon and it's made me generally wary of these reduxes now. They're not even 1/2 the quality of the God of War/ Sly ones.
I'd recommend checking reviews and particularly forums before making any HD-remaster purchase.
looking forward to the splinter cell collection but hoping for the day when metal gear collection gets announced.
Tomb Raider franchise started off on.. Playstation1.
So i think it should stay as an exclusive franchise but if it does not then uncharted will just be the far more explorated superior version of this genre with no competition. If tomb raider stays exclusive then uncharted and tomb raider can compete the 2 developers over topping each other with the exploration genre.
Amazon removed it.. But I dont wait on this, I wait for the Splinter Cell collection :)
First of all Sony ditched BC because everyone whined that the PS3 was too expensive despite all of its features.And now that they did it people still won't stop whining. Maybe if PS3 owners would complain so much and show some appreciation instead Sony wouldn't have to do things like this Secondly buying the upgraded HD, with trophies and all on one disc game is better then having to search for and buy three or four different PS2 discs especially if one of the games is no longer being sold or hard to find e.g. ICO. Lastly...... I WANT a Jak and Daxter HD remake triology NOW, with Jax X racing included. I have spoken Naughty Dog!!!
