5 Changes We Hope to See in the New Tomb Raider Game

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.

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!!!

MeatyUrologist1162d ago

Agree with everything except the first point. If they open up the climbing more I think the axe makes sense, but I would love some actual skill involved in the climbing to make it more like platforming where you could actually fail.

As for the bow, I just prefer bows in games over firearms, especially since it allows for stealth ranged combat. I think a bow or at least a crossbow makes sense for the series. I like having dual pistols as an option though for sure, and combat in general needs a big overhaul.

Lexreborn21162d ago

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

Aloymetal1162d ago

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.

HeliosHex1162d ago

Would love an unlockable iconic Lara. Just for nostalgic reasons.

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

Killer2020UK242d ago

What's gonna suck?

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

Sciurus_vulgaris244d 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.

mastershredder243d ago (Edited 243d ago )

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

SimpleDad243d ago

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_Z243d 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.

Elantregaless243d ago

Get Brie Larsen to play new 'Lara Croft'

Elantregaless242d ago (Edited 242d ago )

Shh. Play along. Trust the plan.

aaronaton243d ago

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

cloganart243d ago

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

Michiel1989243d 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.

cloganart243d ago (Edited 243d ago )

@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...

Michiel1989243d ago (Edited 243d 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.

mastershredder243d 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.
