From VGC: "Crystal Dynamics has filed a DMCA request via Patreon to Last Stand Media after hosts on one of its podcasts read out a script which is reportedly being used to cast actors for the next Tomb Raider game.
The script, which was widely reported on, was featured in an episode of the Sacred Symbols podcast. According to host Colin Moriarty, he was contacted by Patreon and asked to remove the offending material, or risk being suspended from the platform.
According to Moriarty, the DMCA came via Square Enix. The Japanese publisher has agreed to sell Crystal Dynamics and the Tomb Raider IP to Embracer, but the completion of the deal is still subject to various regulatory and other external approvals."
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.
The mistake Colin Moriarty made was that parts of this Tomb Raider script were directly quoted. If he had just reported on the content then it’s unlikely he would’ve received a DMCA takedown.
You should see that script, woke doesnt even begin to describe it.
The script is atrocious. Bad enough that I loved the reboot trilogy, and will not touch this impending loaf of poo.
Give it to me I can share via torrent so all can have it. Try to DMCA a torrent site LOL.
