The reboot games were supposed to show the transformation from a young Lara into the character we found in the original games. I rewatched the trailer of the new game they're working on (nothing but a CGI scene, to be honest), and she feels more cocky and confident than in the trilogy. Maybe the new game will have a Lara you'll like more, but it's hard to tell from just that video. |
Yeah, I know what they've tried to do - except, we know how Lara got the way she is from original Core Design games - she was thought and trained that way. But I guess "trauma" approach for "modern sensibilities" is what you get when you hire someone to piss on beloved IP and character and make it like every other IP these days that needs melodramatic background story for main protagonist.
Sorry man if I come of a bit abrasive, but CD's Tomb Raider (including, mostly, CD's Legend Trilogy) is one of my favourite IPs, and seeing it raped akin to George Lucas/Spielberg doing it to Indiana Jones in that old South Park episode was not a pleasant experience.
As I said, Reboot is superb cover shooter, but terrible TR game - they should've made new IP, instead of hijacking the old one. Maybe these brand new ones will be better and more in line with originals, but one look at this new Lara Croft and something felt way off.
