Has it been mentioned or confirmed if the opening of Rise is supposed to contrast/mimic the opening of TR2013? It's always been known how much Crystal copies and pastes things from other game franchises and their own previous games - but I just played Rise again and I really just sat their criticising what should be an exciting opening (it still is somewhat). But everything from Lara slipping down a ledge and catching the edge at the last moment (this actually happens twice in the first 10 minutes), to Lara shouting "Jonah, I'm here!", to Lara running from the avalanche while the pathway in front of her crumbles....
I get it buys time for them as developers so they can get the next game out asap, but it just emphasises (as usual) how Crystal always has the potential to be great but is somehow off the mark because of glaring weird choices they make.
