Do you guys think that when they have a planning meeting regarding Tomb Raider, it starts with words "ok guys, how we can f*** up TR and Lara Croft even more?" or "How we can piss off the fans even more?". Because that's my whole impression of what I've seen so far after Shadow.
Buying I. P. To kill it off
The reboot's character is not Lara. I call her Boreen because a toaster is more fun and likable than her. I despise Boreen and that last thing I want is more of her whining because she is lonely. Boreen will whine in the game and her motivations will be to go Tomb Raiding to make new friends. Poor Boreen. Medipacks will be replaced by anti-depressants in the new game and Boreen will probably ruin the "suspense" by giving us the solutions to puzzles a 3 year old can solve. Boreen is just boring that way.
Tomb Raider should be way, way bigger than Uncharted, but it is in the wrong hands.
This message was so confusing in the context of publisher/developer. Didn't Crystal Dynamics work on the new game regardless? I thought Embracer was a publisher, just like Square Enix was or Eidos back in the day. So what exactly "taking control" of the franchise means here.
When it comes to Crystal having complete freedom though, didn't we learn a while ago from Rhianna Pratchett that when writing RoTR, she was forced to include certain bits about Lara's father and possibly make her more "relatable"? However I'm not sure if it was Square pushing for that or CD. But if if was Square, there might have been many more decisions made by them which we don't know about.
If embracer doesn't give it to another studio then the next the next game will do to tomb raider what the new saints row game did to that franchise
Gawd this woman has no filter and I love it
AMERICA DID THIS! IT WAS YOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! 😂😂
Well heck with this idiots….I hated how weak that dumb girl who pretend to be tomb raider was in the game and so called movie….
It's modem time, we can actaully craete our own. UE5 is free if you do it for hobby not sell..
I even made a movie spoof of Classic tomb Raider using GTA' 5s Roctsrat Edit and Creator to create the tomb.
Just that I don't ahve much time yet to go futher and buld a whoe game but I feel anyone can really easily make
their own Tomb Raidre and if it for the mass can just call her something else. So many tools today.
Don't have to limit outselves to don't companies who like Saint Row was makinga game for some imaganary fan. It way easier to make our own games now….
Indi "Tomb Raider" may be where Lara shall return but may use a dif name….
Plus maybe in the future when I have more time I could also build one…..
I was unaware that "uglify" was a real word relating to uglification. 😅
I would like a new massive (20 sq. miles of level) HD puzzle based Tomb Raider using the original specifications of Laura, but next generation pistols that fire some kind of unknown advanced bullets like mini pulse cannons powered by a battery of crystallized nuclear waste bound inside manufactured diamond- to explain the unlimitied ammo and a set of power boots that manipulate the electro-magnetic field enough to allow an in air double jump/ jumping 10 feet straight up into the air.
You know, the level of technology that has actually existed since the 50's but us plebians are not allowed to use, build, or sell. 😅
why do feminists hate women so much?
Something to note is that Embracer Group is the one behind the Saints Row Reboot, so they may have made a deal with Crystal Dynamics on Tomb Raider, or something to that effect, due to Embracers economic downturn in the aftermath of Saints Row tanking their stock.
We need to pull a Rings of Power response to Tomb Raider. They can't keep destroying previous masterpieces and then blame their failure on the fans. Every time you post a video on TR I hope it's something good but it always ends up being bad news. I just lost all hope tbh and like you will be replaying the original ones on my PS1.
I feel the same way about Ghost Recon. Wildlands was so fun. It was GTA for soldiers like me. Breakpoint was a live service botch. The next one looks even worse.
Level 3 Google-Fu: Press release • May 2, 2022 • 08:00
EMBRACER GROUP ENTERS INTO AN AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE EIDOS, CRYSTAL DYNAMICS, AND SQUARE ENIX MONTRÉAL AMONGST OTHER ASSETS
Make a TR that captures the essense of the originals: exploring with minimal action. In the age of open-world games where people do play to just roam and explore, this should be a no-brainer. And make Lara look like Lara. Anita Sarkeesian doesn't buy these games, so don't pander to her.
After Mr.Toby Gard leave( right after Underworld)…they rebooting TR games there's something I did not recognize didn't even bother, I know it they going change her story too fact they don't want Lara to be alone , remember they are new developer since the reboot who is inspired Uncharted game.. and who never play TR classic from PS1 so sad..really..sad..they also forget it the past TR Legend trilogy too, and this is why I don't like TR reboot cause I know they going to change it..damn you Crystal Dynamics 😠
Tomb Raider should be a license to print money. What a cluster f 😆 you got to love ps1 games because they released finished product.
If Embracer were the ones who really had all the rights to TR, they should have signed on Core Design to make new TR games (that is, if Core Design even exists anymore).
I'm kinda hoping that other studios are going to cue in on this mess and make a new IP heavily inspired by the classics (akin to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LSKdg-g9pY ). Tbh i don't even care if it's Lara Croft anymore because the IP owners of Tomb Raider is not giving us what we want. There is clearly a market for it and I don't even know what's holding CD back on giving us that classic TR experience.
I don't know what to say. My hope's not gone yet. I will never acept this new version of Croft as the Tomb Raider I know. Whatever CD is cooking: they better not stick to their own plans, but listen to the fans! Otherwise it will be the darkest days for a classic TR fan and I don't want to believe that! I don't want this franchise to be a victim of this woke sh**! I don't want to play a normal being Lara Croft who have no strong abilites and makes her unique. I don't want Lara Croft to cry all the time, I don't want to be disturbed by characters like Jonah, Zip and Allister. Just give her back what you've stolen from her when you decided to reboot the franchise and I will promise you guys – most of the new generation fans will also love the classic Lara Croft for what you is! She simply kicks ass! Imagine that classic Lara Croft with all the new graphics and possibilities. That can't go wrong!

I'm sure Anita Sarkeeson is behind this downfall.
Woke mob is anti-Midas team, they have a game with actual strong independent woman in it – and yet they managed to destroy even that! 🤦🏻♀️😅
I personally did not like TR3, what made no sense at all that after being able to save anywhere at anytime in TR2, TR3 goes right back to the save crystal idea. Most modern games now feature most often the dreaded 'Check Points' which are not well placed and not really welcome. You should be able to save anywhere and at any time in a game. There was not really much of tombs to explore in TR3. Then TR4 came along, the egyptian theme was a good idea, but other things were not. After that is where Tomb Raider started to just go in a direction that no one wanted or even ever asked for. I truly and sincerely wish I could do computer programing, as I would truly stay true to Classic Lara and any other old games, they are the best. Everyone is right, modern games these days are nothing like what gaming once used to be and still should be, but that is my humble opinion. I tried the 1st reboot game and instantly did not like it, taking away Lara's dual pistols was the worst idea ever and it just got far worse after that. If Tomb Raider gets another Reboot, it certainly will be so beyond recognition, that no one will like it.
What’s with making women ugly in everything 😭 seeing women in video games pre 2013 there is an obvious difference it’s crazy.
Lara’s ps1 legacy STILL carries on to this day and will carry on forever, it’s a shame her potential cannot be lived up to today but she will always be iconic to me, as you’ve said before there’s a reason why survivor lara doesn’t have a fraction of the impact classic lara has
I was getting excited for you when you started talking about getting a tube tv lol! That does sound very fun and the best way to enjoy your hobby!
I want a continuation of Legacy of Kain damn it. Or what would be great is a remake of the first since it's so dated now.
Love your hair today
Classic Lara would look at that fan club they're putting in the next one and tell them "You have 10 seconds before I start shooting." And she'd go 1-2-10.
I feel your pain.
It's truly sad how mismanagement of IPs (LotR, Disney, Marvel, GoT season 7+8, and now Tomb Raider too…) regularly destroy them utterly.
I also have an old heavy tube TV for the old games. Emulation just never quite feels the same.
Hollywood and Gaming absolutely hate pretty influential women that don't put their politics first.
Broken link in your bio. Maybe needs a new line?
Playlist suggestion: Tomb Raider news
When they sold Tomb Raider back then, It was totally over. It happens to alot of games & movies. They make 1 – 4 games/movies, then quit and hand it over to another team. We have to wait for the miracle. The next Batman Begins, The Darknight , The Darknight Rises, FOR THE NEXT LARA CROFT.
As long as crystal dynamics has tomb raider, we will never get classic Lara back
I've played the REBOOTED Tomb Raider 1 I haven't played the other ones, but I thought the actual game and story was OKAY for what it was. But even I KNOW it's a FAR CRY from what the Tomb Raider series and story is SUPPOSED TO BE.
Embracer is the parent company which owns Crystal Dynamics, so basically they told CD to do what they want 🤣 which is wack 😭
Embracer owns the studio who does Darksiders … DARKSIDERS .. which gameplay wise is what Tomb Raider should be 😭
Love the new hairdo!
If you load your wallet on the PlayStation Network you can download good reliable copies of all the classic tomb raiders onto your PS3 and play them on that as well.
I don't play a lot of games any more there all crap and broken. There all the same copying from one another but using a different skin and the visuals just get's worst and plays bad for the price we pay for our pc and graphics cards for a broken game all the time
That TR4 Thumbnail… oooof
You said for AOD fans to come at you so HERE I COME!
Lmfao nah your points are fair that one I just give a pass for w.e. reason.
As far as I currently know according to the deal or the sale that is supposedly still happening embrace their group bought the Western part of square enix which I think also includes crystal dynamics so I think they were just switching studios I'm really confused at it myself to be honest
for me it was the puzzle aspect that kept me playing tomb raider initially starting on the 1st tomb raider on ps1, but as the sequels went on the difficulty or intrigue of the puzzles seemed to get more and more watered down to the point where simply changing the playstyle didnt make up the difference. it's strange how all the focus is on her appearance when it or a big part of it should be on the gameplay as it is well a game. i always likened it to being inside a rubik's cube while playing the game as that was one way i could explain it, the fact that the main character is attractive is a plus sure but while playing the actual game you dont get to see that much of her and what you did get to see was heavily pixelated. me and a friend would take turns playing the game, playing until one of us died or got stuck so bad to give up, which kept things moving some. that being said i know that a lot of the appeal for the game or the character is her looks at the very least to attract some people to play the game so changing things could mess with the recipe and would make it something else if you swap out a main ingredient you are essentially making a different dish. lara is essentially a superheroine type so her looks can reflect that be that considered a good or a bad thing as it can be about fantasy.
That thumbnail pic…is that JJ the jetplane? 🤣 🤣 🤣
I completely agree. The state of entertainment and especially games is abysmal. Ill stick with the older games when they actually had soul in them and were made with passion for the sake of pushing the boundaries. Im liking this channel’s content ill be subscribing for more.
Damn melonie Trina fight every tomb raider fan from ps2 and on lol melonie is like come at me bro
I would love to see some retro video game content on your other channel. You mentioned re-reviews of the Tomb Raider games recently which would be awesome too but videos on any retro games would be great.
I didn’t realise it back then but the PS1/2 era was the golden age of video games. So many great titles and variety. And none of the grounded realism or wokeness of many modern day Western games. Games had way more personality and a feeling of fun and didn’t seem like soulless, corporate products.
RIP, Lara. We'll always have PS1.
