Darryll Gallagher, head of Crystal Dynamics, has been charged with re-imagining one of the most iconic video game characters of all time. Thanks in part to Angelina Jolie, most people out there, including millions who have never played Tomb Raider, know the name Lara Croft. Gamers have been playing the Tomb Raider games for decades, so rebooting the franchise was a huge undertaking. Gallagher talks about what’s in store with this brand new Tomb Raider adventure in this exclusive interview.
Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.
I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence
can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?
Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.
@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.
The top producer of Square Enix flagship Dragon Quest franchise is stepping down from the role, following delays in developing the next installment of the popular series.
Please o please don't turn dragon quest into final fantasy square enix we dont wont that. Dragon quest works well just as it I. Plus you'll piss off Japanese fans to.
Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
Square Enix will be releasing three new manga titles later this year, all of which are available for pre-order now.
Great interview.
Tomb rider lolz
This is a nice insight into the game. Can't wait to play it!
great interview. Lara is a video game legend is about time she has a game that is worthy of her.
From all the reviews, it seems like the over the top violence can take something away from the emotional experience. Need to play and see myself.
