Why did Lara die at the end of this game?
I mean what was the reason the creators decided to do that?

So they could reboot her on the ps2.
Also when the main caracter of anything dies everyone gets emotional and therefore it's a great story |

There have been many theories behind this decision, some say Core Design got tired of being put under pressure to produce a new TR each year and eventually got sick of Lara, to be honest I believe it was just for the shock factor, the move from PS1 to next gen, a way of saying goodbye to the old Lara and bringing in something new, death in TR:TLR turned into AOD, then the death of Core.....

I don't think they planned on making AoD when they killed Lara. I don't even think they meant to make Chronicles.
I had thought they meant for Last Revelation to be the last one. |

TR:C.....god that was a strange bit of filler, not the best way to end the TR:TLR storyline....then jump to AOD. |

I'm wondering about how they intended for the series to end.

I'm sure Lara didn't die at the end of TR4, otherwise she wouldn't have been in TR5, TR6 or any of the others after that.

And they never killed Lara at the end of TR4 anyway, no one believed a mere fall would kill Lara, and she had been in plenty of Tombs to get out of that one. Core were just getting things ready for the big changes they were planning. Then they strung the wait out a bit by doing the early adventures for TR5, and giving the hint Lara had gotten out of the tomb. |

I agree with the above, makes sense they would never kill Lara in '99 what with next gen & a movie in the works.
Still feel Lara never really did make it out that tomb in TR:TLR...not the Lara I loved |

Well if lara woulda died in TR4 she still woulda been in TR5 since they tell her past stories in that game but she wouldn't have been in TR6 had she died at the end of TR4 so she didn't die but core was being pressured alot with each year on year TR release and they couldn't take it so that's why they wanted to kill lara and got fired after TR6. It's so sad to see classic lara die after TR6.
