| HoloDust said: Well, I'm big fan of franchise, TR1 is one of my all-time favorite games, even today, despite its clunky controls. Every time I read news about this "re-imaging" it feels to me like raping of once great franchise - while some things benefit from the process (I grew up with original, cheesy "Battlestar Galactica"), some things that are excellent in its original form should never ever be "re-imagined". And specially by not taking out of it what made it great (exploration, platforming and puzzles) and blatantly copying another successful franchise. |
Same here. Why not give it a different game, new story instead of a prequel loaded with baggage.
The original TR was more of a puzzle game in 3D and was great for that. Carefully positioning Lara after counting out the steps to make that crucial sequence of jumps after meticulously scanning the environment to find a route up. That seems all forgotten nowadays, auto climb, auto jump, auto grab, auto look to the next hot spot, auto mid air course correction, bleh.
