In-depth Review: Tomb Raider - Electronic Theatre

For what was once a commanding presence in the videogames industry, Tomb Raider is a franchise that has had a rough time of late. Working to buck industry trends it was typically those title which did not perform will critically that saw greater commercial success, and vice versa. This left a bitter taste in the mouths of peers, fans and mere acquaintances also, and so many thought it was about time something changed. Square Enix, however, thought it was about time that everything changed.

That's not even a good template 😞 ugh this is gonna suck

What's gonna suck?

This is an opinion piece that has zero bearing on production of the hypothetical 12th installment of Tomb Raider.

Sciurus_vulgaris197d ago

The animated Netflix series is a sequel to Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Also, Netflix distributed this show, the company uses external production companies for most of its content. The show doesn’t provide a template for Crystal Dynamics [who was credited in production of the show], the Lara in the show is the one from the 2013 reboot series, and wasn’t reimagined for the show.

A perfect buleprint to be considered for awards you mean. Yeah, this will pander perfectly.

If they want to lose money... sure, the blueprint is perfect.

Hayley Atwell says it would be a "dream" to play Lara Croft again

"To continue to be involved or to be involved in another way with [Lara Croft] would be an absolute dream and also a responsibility I would take seriously given how beloved and known she is…" the Marvel star tells GamesRadar+.

live-action Atwell? ... during early 2010s she would've nailed it ... but now ... dunno man

Nacho_Z196d ago

I know what you mean, but I wouldn't be opposed to seeing her play a slightly more mature version of the character. She's only 42 so still fine for all the action scenes.

Get Brie Larsen to play new 'Lara Croft'

Elantregaless195d ago (Edited 195d ago )

Shh. Play along. Trust the plan.

aaronaton196d ago

The series is an abomination, and if she had anything about her, having read the script..... she should of declined.

cloganart196d ago

It sounds like you are just mad the show Lara's bosom is not as big as your triangle titty delusions.

Michiel1989196d ago

Lara is a fullblown lesbian crybaby in the anime, another character that was completely a ladies man has been made gay and is now her bff moral support, surely we only care about her tits instead of character development.

@Michiel1989

All you chuds care about is sexuality and gender, it's hilarious. You've turned into the SJWs you've targeted and hated, getting triggered by anything and everything 🤣 https://i.imgur.com/dMBfwtF...

Michiel1989196d ago (Edited 196d ago )

Okay I didn't know that but what about the rest I said?....Lara was one of the strongest most badass protagonist in gaming and now she just cries half of the show. If that's a version of Lara that you want, more power to you, it's not for me.

and you care only about others caring about boobies. The only one who is talking about her tits is you my man. He said something about script and you started talking about her boobs.

The classical "you're just triggered" argument so you don't have to reply anything substantial and just say that, that's the sign of someone losing a discussion and not knowing what to say.

mastershredder196d ago

The most sickening part of all of this is not even that the IP is getting gutted not to be inclusive, it’s ONLY done so to be considered for awards and a funding for the next project. That’s it. It’s as pointless as a fortune 500 company virtue signaling during pride month. The bottom line is they will do the compliance dance and shell out anything to continue the cash flow, Just like the willing this VO actress people are fanning up to ^.

Also, who give a 7uck what the voice actress thinks or what she’s doing? This site is about games., not voice actors day dreams.

RavenWolfx250d ago

OtterX250d ago (Edited 250d ago )

Plot Twist, this is what happened to Nathan Drake after Uncharted 4.

I kid, I kid. :)
