As I said above, no matter what game of the series Toby Gard created the character therefore by contract must get credit. :p

He always has to have a credit for Lara or else they can't use her name. :)

Why? Does he own the copyright alone? Doesn't SE own that now or Eidos at the least?

and yeah, poor Karl got left out. :p

Nope, it's the same for any original character writers. Lara was his character so he'll always need to get the credit. Same with movie sequel or any film/game adaptions. :)

That's fair enough then. As long as that's all it is :pi:

Karl Stewart got left out, but Meagan Marie's on the list. I don't trust IMDBPro, it's like Wiki, only problem is you need to pay to edit on IMDBPro... I think...

Tonyrobinson 07-02-12 21:58

Yeah you pay for it monthly but it's pretty cheap to be honest. So I'm not too fussed. :p

Rai 07-02-12 22:04

You don't have to have IMDbPro to edit that page, I just signed in to it using Google.

Toby guard only designed Lara's look, not Lara the character. But now she's completely redesigned so if that's the case, how does he still have the copyright?

Tonyrobinson 07-02-12 22:35

He "created her name" or something so somehow has to get right by law or something. It's the same with movies the Wayans Brother's recieve writing credits on all four Scary Movie films even know they only made the first two but they still had to be credited as writers for the characters in the movie. It's complicated but it's just so things remain legal. Toby wasn't involved with any of the Core games since Tomb Raider 2 and he still had to get a character writing credit on them. :)
