Replace Lara Croft Titles with Classic Tomb Raider?
Should Crystal create smaller Tomb Raider games that follow the classic formula in place of the Lara Croft games? This goes for the arcade shooters but also any of the mobile games too.
Personally, I think so. Given that longtime fans wish for a more accurate Tomb Raider experience that they don't get from the main installments, and the Lara Croft series strays just as far from the original formula. If I were in SE or CD's shoes and had their intense desire to continue the reboot games, I would probably alternate between the LAU games and the original TR games in a small side series. What do you think? |

It would be better than nothing however my fear would be it would all take on the isometric route which to me would be honestly terrible.
I would love it, At least it would be something. But lets be honest they wouldn't do that at all. |

Like... WHY did they even create the LC games in the first place? I've had it. OFFICIALLY! It starts to feel like all the conspiracy theories aren't true, it's not about what sells, or what is popular, it's really just about what CD want to make, and it isn't Tomb Raider. |

... I'm not coming for anyone's wig here... but how is that any different than the situation we're in now? I understand that it is a realistic proposal... but is the reality really that they will make ANY game before an actual Tomb Raider game? dang. *cries* I have 100% confidence they cannot write classic Lara... based on... everything they have done. So yes, they would probably make it into LAU Lara. But if they could somehow... do research or something crazy like that, I'd love for them to do it. Last edited by larafan25; 26-08-16 at 19:48. |

But they'll make LC series Lara, which is kinda similar in personality to classic Lara. Its better than LAU Lara though. There's no parental issues. And I think this idea might become a reality soon since nathan mccree even signed it. Ofcourse I'd love "classic" Lara, all they need to do is implement all of those adventures into her biography, and get some amazing writers for the story. |

LC games feel like a way for them to keep LAU lara alive which was also their creation. Its becoming obvious that what was once tomb raider isn't of interest to them, They want Tomb raider to be their creation which is something they'll never be able to claim so frankly stripping it of everything which once was and replacing everything with their own creation. Thats how I view it anyway Pretty much.. Last edited by Dream; 26-08-16 at 20:12. |

If it were true classic-style Tomb Raider (or a proper continuation of AoD, maybe) then yes, definitely! If it's LAU-style stuff, no thank you.

For me, the differences are trivial. Certainly compared to Treboot Lara. |
