Default Why TR9? Shouldn't it be TR10?

Lemme get this straight

We have TR 1 through 5 (aka Chronicles)...followed by AoD (TR6), then Legend (TR7) then Anniversary (TR8) and finally, Underworld (TR9).

Why is everyone referring to the next (yet to be made) game as TR9? Isn't Underworld already TR9?

Confused

Anniversary was a remake. Just like the Gold levels were never given a numerical suffix.

During development, Underworld was always referred to as Tomb Raider 8.

I think its because ANNIVERSARY was a celebration/remake, rather than an actual seperate game so its not really classed in the main tomb raider series.

Well.

It could be argued whether Anniversary was really a remake or a "re-imagination." But I won't argue that point as IMHO, you're right.

Alas, TR The Fifth Artifact was technically a stand-alone game... so Underworld should really be TR10 and the next game TR11.

Right, right... it's all semantics and rather pointless, so I'll stop.

Don't forget about the 3 Gameboy color/advanced games... so it's actually be TR14 lol.

It was just easier to call TRU tr8.. so following that logic next one is TR9.. and i've already made the folder that name on my server, and i aint changing it

Haha we're just messing with you, don't worry. I thought it should have been counted as a "new" Tomb Raider also. Don't feel bad

Actually I've been curious about this too.
Like, if TRA didn't fit into the TR storyline (which it does fit in with the new bio and all), then we are supposed to just think Oh crap it's Natla randomly in TRU with no previous indicators!
