Then how are you so sure that what Wraith said is kinda true? :p

Of course she's going to be the well known Lara again. They can't throw legacy of the franchise away. They have to keep the pillars. LAU was bad, this is going to be great. And she'll be inexperienced just a few hours in the game, not the whole new series.

How do you know? We know absolutely nothing about her history.


:eek: Sorry DP.

I don't see how the history or back story effected the game at all. It was a huge mess blah blah blah I'm not repeating myself anymore. :p

From the blurb in the TR1 manual anyway :D

Actually,I'm now thinking it could actually have been better had they started on Legend with a new character. Because they kind of made references to her past,but rewrote them somewhat. Imagine the freedom if she had been someone new.

Maybe people wouldn't have bought it though?

I want Core Lara back. This game looks like a huge mess, tbh. I hope it gets canned. *trollface*

^When you stop centring your posts. :)There's always potential they'll forget/change the pillars beyond recognition.

I think I don't see your point. So, this new character is not Lara Croft anymore for you. Or very little.
For me she's realistic version of classic Lara. She has everything Lara Croft should have. (That's my opinion, because braid and dual pistols doesn't make Lara Croft for me).

Would you rather have a game called Tomb Raider with a brand new character than with Lara Croft no matter how different she's from the previous versions of Lara?

And don't even mention Legend. That crap! Seriously...Legend wasn't Tomb Raider in any way.

I think this is what people are forgetting or worried about. Perhaps that she'll remain exactly as she is in the first 8 minutes of the game (the demo). This is the origins story we've never seen before. Okay there are changes, but Lara won't be The Tomb Raider at the beginning will she? I doubt she'll ever be the exact same as before where we get to see just bits of pieces of her character who was primarily seen as hard and 'bad ass'. She'll be more rounded all the time instead of the odd snippet of niceness and she'll be bad ass again, just maybe in a different way than before.
