Perhaps he "mistake" again with the size of Lara Croft's chest!!!

He will have the opportunity to implement all his ideas on Tomb Raider for all these years! That's good!

Well we are not likely to see what Toby is working on till 2012 most likely, I am more interested in who is leading TR9's team. Riley Cooper's linkedin profile is unfortunately not public.

Can't wait for the Toby haters to get wind of this. It'll kick off for sure

Let's see the outcome of this all.

Please explain to me why People Hated Toby Gard for Years with Threads and now you Cheer for him, what did he do.
I'm sorry, am I missing something here? Why on Earth do loads of people hate TRL/TRU? What's actually wrong with you? Please, I really want to know what exactly was awful about TRL/TRU. I know TRU had its moments but I can't remember very much wrong with TRL at all. Please do tell me - is there something I missed? Also, why do you all hate Toby Gard? Again, what is wrong with you? "We all hate him because he was the person who thought up Lara Croft and we don't like her anymore" kind of doesn't really fit here. He was responsible for TR in the first place! Why do you now hate him?

What exactly does a Lead Designer do?
I just hope Toby has nothing to do with the story.

Tomb Raider Legend had more in common with God of War than Tomb Raider. It took an adventure series based on exploration and isolation and turned it into a straight-pipe action game. It simply wasn't Tomb Raider.

I don't "hate" Toby Gard, I merely think his contribution to the Tomb Raider franchise is over-estimated. TR1 was clearly the product of a lot of people, including those who continued to make good games after Toby left. His presence doesn't insure a good "Tomb Raider" game. It merely adds a veneer of "authenticity" to those who think such things are important.

How much control does the Lead Designer have over the actual story of a game?

That depends. But it can happen that the Lead Designer himself writes it. But there are also some developers who hire writers for their game stories (unfortunately Crystal Dynamics doesn't).
