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:

NCFirebolt21 07-02-12 21:57

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.

leglion 07-02-12 22:25

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. :)

leglion 07-02-12 22:40

Well that's pretty much because Lara from tr1 up until now was very similar. But I don't even think Toby created the name either. The core team was flipping through a phone directory or something like that.

Yeah, that's why I used brackets. It's too hard to explain but they need to do it for legal purposes. :)

leglion 07-02-12 22:51

Ya, I don't think he's the creater and I think IMBD(or however you spell it) is wrong, but that's just me.

_Awestruck_ 08-02-12 00:20

It was mentioned in a magazine article, and Karl's talked about it a couple of times.

In part of the leaked script she said "A wolf's got nothing on a broken bottle" then goes on to talk about the "Nine Bells" bar she worked at :P plus Karl talked about I think.

im gonna read that script, dang i cant believe i missed this lol thanx

Love2Raid 08-02-12 00:24

It was said by Karl Stewart, but I have no link for you right now, sorry. At least one reference to this is made in the script (she says something about a broken bottle when she helps Roth, I think).

You should write quotes because that is a really good one... I think I might use it someday :p

I might write a book :D. Thanx.

and the script is pretty funny, i never expected any upper class person to swear (not in england atleast). its just like hearing david cameron saying "aww sh.t". LOL!

And the Yorkshire bastard is not all :D There's been said in one magazine that Lara says the "S" word quite a lot :D

I can believe it. Uncharted gets away with it multiple times and it's only rated T for some reason. Even though Lara is upper class, it seems obvious she'd be a swearer (especially in the situation she's in) because she's been in bar fights and works around those kinds of people :p

jhs270694 08-02-12 00:42

the first thing i noticed is the date from the script. it mentions september 2nd. maybe the release date is somewhere around september? i mean it wouldnt make sense for them to release it before that date

Like you mean the game takes place in September?

I don't see her swearing all the time. I think she'll swear at the beginning only.

jhs270694 08-02-12 00:45

you should go to the college i go to, i practically hear swearing EVERYDAY. even i swear everyday but only minor swears like sh.t or the F word. but online i tend to hide that side of my personality :mis:

I didn't know the F bomb was minor :p

even s*** is a pretty bad word here.

Lukass 08-02-12 00:49

I'm swearing too. Every day. S and F.

Especially when playing games :p

Yeah.. me too (when I'm alone at least). It's not good but in TRU when she would jump the wrong way I would call her an effing b*tch.. :o Poor Lara takes so much abuse.

Gosh, me too. I already gave her so many unpleasant names :o

jhs270694 08-02-12 01:00

you guys noticed the date on the leaked script? 2nd september that lara mentions? you think tomb raider 2012will be released september? i think it might. any later than october/november and then i think it's pointless releasing it this year TBH. Furthermore 'big' games usually come out on september till november so i think its a perfectly reasonable date for it to be released.

They might be aiming for September, to keep the game congruous with real time. I hope so anyway... it would be nice to get it that early :)

I usually use the word for female vagina :o There are few words for it in Czech language and they are really dirty :o

Sometimes a just let her die. I killed her million times. I was always shouting at her "DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!!!!!" using the evil voice, just like some Disney villain or something :vlol:
