Good Morning
Apologises i appreciate you are a very busy company but please if you could take a moment to read the below id be really grateful.
Mine names Susie Hampton, im 24 years old and have been Tomb Raider fan since its first release in 1996, Lara has been the reason im pursuing a career in game design, i participated in PlanetLara.com before it sadly had to be closed last year , so ive very much been online through the Tomb Raider Legacy, Seen all the ups and downs :)
The reaction to when you guys came in with TR : Legend was amazing :) It was so refreshing a whole new zing of life for Lara and that trend has continued. Especially after seeing the trailer for the new Tomb Raider in October 2011 , every tomb raider fan hit the roof :)
But thats the thing... October. !!
We have had no real news since October except podcasts, now while i totally appreciate the reason behind the podcasts , looking into different areas of game development etc , thats not something the general public are going to go for, It would be Visuals that would attract the attention needed to compete with Resident Evil 6 , Silent Hill 6 etc , im concerned that these games have recently had trailer release on TV in the Uk and we saw so much more from the in that short space of time.
We have had no screenshot , art or anything visual or news of any kind since October last year , despite veiled promises from members of community staff on twitter. Im sure as you know as TR fans love a good tease but this is getting quite silly and its the first time ive since fans quite so angry , even in angel of darkness days. You know what we are like just one screenshot of a new area would do us. Or even a concept art. If you head over to Tomb Raider Forums you will see the frustrations of alot of members now. i don't think this marketing strategy of keeping everything as hushed as possible is working anymore, its beginning to annoy loyal long terms fans who would never dare to talk bad of tomb raider.
I'm very pleased with what we have seen and very excited but i must admit its even beginning to dim for me because we are seeing the same old article, the same screenshot and the promise of new exciting things from tweets but we never ever see !!! Its kind of cruel really if you think about it,
Im sorry to send an email like this, i actually really didn't want to as i am one of these fans that would never want to say anything about TR , but im getting a little tired of it now too , to be honest and im worried about the general public perception when they are seeing all this other media from the competitors.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Concerned TR Fan but also very excited as to what may be :)
All the best
Susie
