Marvel's Avengers must soon be on its deathbed if this project is starting all while CD appears to be taking on the brunt of development on the Perfect Dark reboot. I thoroughly enjoyed their reboot trilogy though, so I'm looking forward to this one!
Loved the series but would like to see them do something new with it. The first game I didn't enjoy that much. Second one was their peak, third lacked action at some points.
They just got too caught up in the formula without ever letting Lara, her story, or the games' structure evolve beyond where they started in the first reboot game. What was supposed to be her origin game, became an origin trilogy. Everyone, I think, just wanted her to turn back into badass, confident, thrill seeking adventurer Lara Croft at some point, be she just kept being a little cry baby in every single cutscene. She's pretty much always stuck in a cycle of reacting to things, never getting to be pro-active. Always needing to save someone. And, to top it off, the focus is literally never on raiding tombs. It's just a side activity/by-product.
Like, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed all three of those games to varying degrees for what they are, but I'd really like to see a tone shift at this point where Lara gets back to being fully formed, and the games stop being structured around her, and everyone around her being a constant victim.
Great to hear. Hopefully it's more in step with the older games, character and tone wise.
Great news! I throughly enjoyed the trilogy games and hopefully the next one is starring a fully formed Lara Croft.
Ah yes going back to their dull and boring bread n butter haha,
Don't get me wrong I loved the reboot trilogy except shadow was so stale and I still ended up platinuming the game,
I wanted to platinum the 2013 reboot or the definitive but it's impossible thanks to multiplayer trophies lol,
2013 reboot to rise was an amazing jump while rise to shadow wasn't a big jump at all...
Shadow wasn't made by Crystal Dynamics. It was made by Eidos-Montreal with CD at the most doing some support work I think. Square had already moved CD to the Avengers project by the time Shadow was in development.
It was vice versa
Eidos supported crystal on rise and then shadow eidos lead while crystal supported due to them making avengers
Still crystal had a huge hand on the development of Shadow it's not like eidos has experience handling such a massive project
I love TR so I`m excited for this.
Exciting, i really enjoyed the new trilogy.
Nice!
Shit way to announce a new game if you ask me, but ok.
pls just stop
