From Cinelinx:
With a new Tomb Raider game officially in the works, we have a few “wishlist” items we’d love to see changed from the previous trilogy.
Crystal Dynamics have a nearly perfect Lara Croft blueprint for Tomb Raider 12 thanks to Netflix’s Survivor and Legend characteristics.
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.
"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
The series is an abomination, and if she had anything about her, having read the script..... she should of declined.
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.
The arrival of new Tomb Raider merchandise has offered a closer look at the updated Lara Croft character design.
Im going to miss the new lara croft design, i hope they don't change that much from the last game.
Man… her face gives me the heeby jeebies. I hope she looks better in game.
1)ditch the climbing axe and bow, it made sense in a survival scenario, and made less and less sense with each new game.
2) confident and capable lara, this is what i mean when i say i want the iconic lara, not the boobs or or objectifying. I dont like the new lara who just whines all the dang time, and gets her a$$ beat by her own clumsiness way too often. Also her catchphrase of "shit shit shit", grabbing a ledge at the last moment, and squeezing through gaps is just lame.
3)actually good puzzles! Shadow was better but still didn't even hold a candle to literally any other game before the reboot. Especially the first two of the reboot where literally every puzzle can easily be solved by following the simple rules of, burn the white cloth, shoot the ropes wrapped around boards, spin the crank, follow the white paint splatters.
4)varying locals across one game instead of the whole game taking place in one area.
5)DUAL F#@KING PISTOLS!!!
I beat the first two and the third is still a struggle for me to start. But honestly I would like to see more espionage/heist and white in future titles. Less brutality porn with the new ones.
Maybe get a good blend of all three elements
Don't care what they do just make it good cause I'm a big fan of the TR series, I'll be buying day 1, I'm one of the few PS fans that prefers TR over Uncharted, I know ND and all their games are leagues ahead in everything but I prefer Lara.
Would love an unlockable iconic Lara. Just for nostalgic reasons.
